3. This personal injury (premises liability) lawsuit arises out of plaintiff JUDY
RANZER’s alleged injury at AT&T Park located at 24 and King Streets in San Francisco. Plaintiff

is John Mounier Jr., Esq., The Mounier Law Firm, 35 Miller Avenue, Mill Valley, CA 94941,

4, At plaintiffs deposition, which I took for defendants, plaintiff described walking
along the sidewalk of 2nd Street across that street from AT&T Park, when an unidentified man
jostled her, causing her to lose her balance and trip over a barricade. While she stated that other
people were walking along the sidewalk, she denied large crowds of people and admitted that
nothing obstructed her view of the barricade.
5. On February 6, 2017, plaintiff's counsel served by mail notices of the deposition of
each defendant’s person most knowledgeable / qualified, along with requests for the production of
documents. A true and correct copy of these deposition notices, which contain the same
descriptions of topics for testimony and production requests, are attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Defendants’ objections to same, timely served, are attached hereto as Exhibit B.
