     WOLF’S IRRIGATION & LANDSCAPING, INC.’S RESPONSE TO BROWN +
     COMPANY ARCHITECUTRE, INC.’S FIRST REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION

       COMES NOW, Defendant/Crossclaim Defendant, WOLF’S IRRIGATION &

LANDSCAPING, INC. (“WOLF’S”), by and through its undersigned counsel, and pursuant to

Rule 1.370, Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, responds as follows to Defendant, BROWN +

COMPANY ARCHITECTURE, INC. (“BROWN”) Request for Production:

                                    GENERAL OBJECTIONS

       1.      WOLF’S objects to BROWN’s First Request for Production to the extent that it

calls for the disclosure and/or production of information and/or documents constituting

communications protected by attorney/client privilege, information and/or documents containing

attorney work product, and/or information and/or documents that were compiled and/or prepared

at the request and direction of counsel in anticipation of, or in connection with, litigation that are

protected by the attorney work privilege (including documents within its possession, custody, or

control that are responsive to this request, if any, that are the work product of independent experts).

       2.      WOLF’S objects to BROWN’s First Request for Production, to the extent that it

attempts to impose a duty in addition to those duties imposed by the Florida Rules of Civil

Procedure.

       3.      WOLF’S objects to BROWN’s First Request for Production to the extent that it is

overbroad, unduly burdensome, and fails to describe the information sought and/or categories of

documents to be produced with reasonable particularity.

       4.      WOLF’S objects to BROWN’s First Request for Production to the extent the

definitions and instructions are inconsistent, contradictory, overly broad, burdensome, and/or

exceed the requirements of the Florida Rules of Procedure.



                                                  3
       5.      By producing information and/or documents in response to any request for

production of documents, WOLF’S does not waive any objections to the admissibility of said

information and/or documents at trial.

       6.      WOLF’S objects to BROWN’s First Request for Production to the extent that it

seeks the production of documents at a location and in a manner other than how the documents are

kept in the usual course of business.

       Subject to the foregoing general objections and, where applicable, the specific objections

to each request set forth below, WOLF’S provides the following specific responses:
