6/25/2012 2:03 PM Filed Lee County Clerk of Court IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 20TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, IN AND FOR LEE COUNTY, FLORIDA CIVIL DIVISION CASE NO.: 2011-CA-050339 WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking institution, as successor by merger to WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, Plaintiff, vs. JOHN W. MACDONALD a/k/a JOHN MACDONALD, Individually and as Trustee Under the Macdonald Living Trust Dated September 23, 2003, et. al., Defendants. PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SANCTIONS AND TO COMPEL DEPOSITIONS The Plaintiff, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as successor by merger to Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), by and through its undersigned counsel and pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.380(a), hereby moves for sanctions and to compel the depositions of John W. Macdonald a/k/a John Macdonald, individually and as trustee under the Macdonald Living Trust dated September 23, 2003 (“John Macdonald”) and Darlene J. Macdonald a/k/a Darlene Macdonald, individually and as trustee under the Macdonald Living Trust dated September 23, 2003 (“Darlene Macdonald” and together with “John Macdonald” the “Macdonalds” or the “Defendants”, and in support thereof states: MI-403639 v7CASE NO.: 2011-CA-050339 1. Undersigned counsel has been trying, on behalf of Wells Fargo, to schedule depositions of the Defendants for approximately one (1) year.' The three (3) separate notices of taking depositions are attached hereto as Composite Exhibit A. 2. The Defendants, however, have been less than cooperative at Wells Fargo’s attempts to depose them. Per the request of the Macdonalds, Wells Fargo agreed to postpone their depositions not once, but twice. The Macdonalds first request postponement was by way of a letter dated August 22, 2011, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The second request for postponement was by way of a voicemail left by Mr. Macdonald for undersigned counsel on or about September 7, 2011 asking for another postponement because Darlene Macdonald was undergoing surgery 3. On April 6, 2012, after receiving no further communication from the Macdonalds, undersigned counsel once again re-noticed the Macdonalds’ deposition for May 9, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. in Fort Myers, Florida. 4, The Macdonalds never contacted undersigned counsel or Wells Fargo seeking a postponement. Instead, knowing that undersigned counsel would be traveling from Miami, Florida to Fort Myers, Florida, the Macdonalds chose simply not to appear for their depositions. True and correct copies of the Certificates of Non-Appearance from the Court Reporter are attached hereto as Composite Exhibit C 5. Although the Macdonalds are appearing pro se in this matter, their nonappearance at the depositions, without prior notice, was inappropriate and unwarranted behavior. ' Wells Fargo first noticed the depositions of the Defendants on July 22, 2011 for deposition date on August 31, 2011. After a postponement request, Wells Fargo noticed the Macdonalds’ depositions on September 1, 2011 for a deposition date of September 15, 2011. After a second postponement request, Wells Fargo again noticed the Macdonalds’ depositions on April 6, 2012 for a deposition date of May 9, 2012. MI-403639 v7CASE NO.: 2011-CA-050339 Undersigned counsel has demonstrated its willingness to work with the Macdonalds to schedule depositions as is convenient for both parties. While Wells Fargo was willing to provide time for Darlene Macdonald to recuperate from surgery, at this point in time, almost one (1) year after Wells Fargo initially sent the Macdonalds the first deposition notice, Wells Fargo is not willing to wait any longer. The Defendants’ lack of communication and bad faith conduct is unacceptable and has hindered Wells Fargo’s advancement of this case. 6. Therefore, Wells Fargo requests sanctions against the Macdonalds, in the amount of $230.00 for the court reporter’s time, $157.12 for Federal Express charges, $2,373.71 for attorney time traveling to and from Miami and Fort Myers to appear at the depositions, and additional costs incurred by Wells Fargo due to the Defendants’ conduct. 7. Wells Fargo submits that this Court should order Darlene Macdonald and John Macdonald to appear, in person, to sit for a deposition on a date and time certain. MI-403639 v7CASE NO.: 2011-CA-050339 WHEREFORE, for the above-stated reasons, Plaintiff prays this honorable Court enter an order granting this motion for sanctions and to compel the depositions of John W. Macdonald a/k/a John Macdonald and Darlene J. Macdonald a/k/a Darlene Macdonald, each, individually and as trustees under the Macdonald Living Trust dated September 23, 2003, on a date and time certain.
