DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO RESPOND TO
PLAINTIFF’S DISCOVERY AND OBJECTIONS
COMES NOW, the Defendant, 215 CENTURY CENTENNIAL INSURANCE
COMPANY, by and through its undersigned counsel, and files this Motion for
Enlargement of Time to Respond to Plaintiffs Discovery, pursuant to Rule 1.100 and
Rule 1.340 and Rule 1.350, Fla. R. Civ. P., and in grounds in support states:
1. Plaintiff served its First Interrogatories and and First Request To Produce
upon Defendant along with the Complaint.
2. Defendant has 45 (thirty) days to file responses to Plaintiff's discovery.
3. The undersigned requests additional time to respond to said discovery, as
he is awaiting additional documentation from his client. Therefore, Defendant is not in a
position to fully respond to the majority of Plaintiff's discovery requests.
***ELECTRONICALLY FILED 02/17/2017 06:42:57 PM: KEN BURKE, CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT, PINELLAS COUNTY***4, Further, the undersigned counsel requests additional time to confer with
Defendant with respect to her written responses to Plaintiff’ s Interrogatories.
5. Therefore, Defendants request additional time to file written responses to
Plaintiff's written discovery, and provide the additional information requested in the
Request to Produce.
6. With the filing of this motion, Defendant does not waive any and all
privileges and objections to any of Plaintiffs discovery requests. In Plaintiff's First
Interrogatories (1-7) and First Request to Produce (1-18), Plaintiff requests information
that Defendant objects to on the grounds that certain requests, and certain portions of the
requests violate the attorney-client and work product privileges. Defendant further
objects to certain requests and interrogatories on the grounds that certain portions are
overly broad, vague, ambiguous, beyond the scope of discovery and are not relevant or
calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Additionally, discovery
remains ongoing and Defendant will provide all information it intends to rely upon for
hearing and at trial in sufficient time to not prejudice Plaintiff. It has not identified its
experts at this time. Lastly, Defendant does not waive any objection if the requested
information is not maintained in its normal course of business.
7. The undersigned did not speak with counsel for Plaintiff regarding this
request prior to the undersigned filing this motion today.
8. Plaintiff would not be prejudiced by the Court granting Defendant’s
Motion, as this lawsuit is in the early stages of discovery.9. This motion is being made in good faith and not for purposes of delay.
The undersigned’s office requires additional time to prepare adequate and proper
responses to said discovery.
WHEREFORE, the Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court
enter an Order enlarging the time as requested above for an additional sixty (60) days,
and any further relief it deems just and proper.CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
