I James M. Barrett, declare as follows:
1. I am an attorney duly licensed to practice before all courts in the State of California.
2. This declaration is submitted in support of Defendant’s Non-opposition to
Plaintiffs Request for a Motion to Compel.
I have personal knowledge of the matters stated herein, except those matters stated on
information and belief, and to those matters, I believe them to be true. If called as a
witness I can testify meaningfully as to those matters.
With this Non-Opposition, Defendant includes the Amended Responses for the two
10 Requested Responses 9 and 10 which are the basis for this Motion; See Exhibit 1.
11 . Just to be clear with this Court, Plaintiff has gone to great lengths to make issues out of
12 Non issues, in that the requested responses (documents) were not in the custody or
13 control of Defendant Quach.
14
The Amended Responses make this quite clear. Plaintiff has been made quite aware
15
that Defendant Quach has produced all documents that were in the custody or control in
16
the first set of responses.
17
This entire Motion process was a waste of the Court’s time and energy. A proper use
18
of this process was for Moving Party to allow for the Amended Responses to be served
19 under the intent of the Discovery Act to avoid utilizing the Court’s time over this type
20 of Motion. There was no emergency that would lead Moving Party to believe that
waiting for the not in possession responses would have interfered with their case.
21
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the
22
foregoing is true and correct.
