This is Plaintiff, Teresa Randolph’s, Reply to her Motion to Compel Production of
26
27 Documents.
28
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS:
Meet and Confer
Defendant counsel, apparently, has never seen a meet and confer that he approves of.
Plaintiff's counsel spent three hours on the phone with Defendant’s counsel, sent Defendant’s
counsel notes regarding the meeting and asked for a response. When no response was
forthcoming, Plaintiff's counsel requested a response for a second time. Defendant’s counsel
then requested more information. Plaintiff's counsel responded to that request in a timely
manner. Plaintiff sent Defendant’s counsel five separate emails following upon the three hour
meet and confers. See Exhibit 2.
10
It is Defendant’s counsel who has not complied with his obligation to provide documents
il
Five months have passed since Plaintiff first requested documents, and to date NONE have been
12
13 produced. The Court must end Defendant’s continued games regarding the important and
14 necessary discovery process.
15
16
Timeliness of Filing
17
The Court ordered that Plaintiff file a separate statement no later than November 5, 2019.
18
13
Plaintiff did so. In addition, Plaintiff emailed a copy of the filings to the Defendant on the same
20 date. See Exhibit 1.
21 Plaintiff complied with the Court’s order to file by November 5 2019.
22
23
Filing By Necessity, Was Required to update court on the recent developments.
24
The November 5, 2019 filing was required to update the previous filing, so that the Court
25
26 could ascertain what had occurred since the last hearing. In addition, Plaintiff attempted to make
27 the Motion to Compel clearly and more easily understood.
28
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
Defendant’s Counsel Continues to Misinform the Court
Defendant counsel, in his Response, states this to the Court:
“For example, No. 81 seeks Randolph’s entire email file for the entire course of her 22
year employment.”
This is patently false. In Plaintiff's email to Defendant on October 28 2019, he states
this:
“Request No. 81: See #5 regarding electronic records. (Plaintiff's statement):
WE DO
NOT AGREE TO LIMIT THIS TO JAN 1 2018. THIS REQUEST IS FROM 1/1/17.
10
PLEASE VERIFY THAT YOU WILL NOT PRODUCE THIS. IF THAT IS THE CASE
il
WE WILL DO MTC.” Exhibit 3.
12
13 Defendant counsel is clearly misinforming the court on this, and other items. Plaintiff's
14 counsel clearly told Defendant’s counsel that it needed about two years of information regarding
15
Request No. 81. Yet, Defendant’s counsel tries to tell the Court that Plaintiff is asking for 22
16
years of documents.
Ly,
The Court should not reward Defendant counsel for his frivolous arguments that are
18
19
without merit.
20 Conclusion
21 For all of the reasons stated above, and stated in the Motion to Compel and Separate
22
Statement, the Court should GRANT Plaintiff's Motion to Compel, and require that Defendant
23
produce all of the documents requests (with the parameters agreed to during the meet and confer)
24
25
within two weeks of the hearing on this matter.
26
27 Respectfully submitted,
