PLAINTIFF’S RESPONSE TO
DEFENDANT CITY’S SECOND REQ’ T FOR PRODUCTION
Plaintiff, SHAE KRISTINE MURDOCK, by and through her undersigned counsel,
responds to Defendant City’s Second Request for Production of Documents as follows:
1, All bank statements reflecting income, credits and debits from January 1, 2016 to present.
RESPONSE:
Plaintiff objects to the extent that this request overly broad, seek records that are irrelevant, are
not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in this case, seek
confidential financial and other personal identifying information about Plaintiff that has no
bearing whatsoever on any of the issues in this case as between Defendant and Plaintiff.
Additionally, the information sought is a fishing expedition not geared to obtain documents that
would be admissible at trial and are designed to harass, embarrass, annoy, and oppress Plaintiff.
Rather than laser focusing on the discrete issues in this case; namely, whether Defendant is liable
for false imprisonment/arrest and, if so, what is the nature of Plaintiff's damages, Defendant is
instead trying to cast as wide a net as possible in discovery to annoy and harass Plaintiff.
2. All business tax returns from 2016 to present.
