         PLAINTIFF’S OBJECTION TO DEFENDANT ROYAL OAK HOMES,                             LLC’S
                    NOTICE OF PRODUCTION FROM NON-PARTY

           Plaintiff VILLAS AT EMERALD              LAKE      HOMEOWNERS    ASSOCIATION,       INC. (the

“Association”), by and through its undersigned counsel and pursuant to Rule 1.351(b), Florida

Rules     of Civil Procedure,         hereby   objects   to Defendant   ROYAL   OAK   HOMES,      LLC’s

(“Defendant”) Notice of Production from Non-Party served July 8, 2021, and in support thereof

states as follows:


                                                    Page 2 of 8
1      The Association objects to Defendant’s Notice of Production from Non-Party as

to the following record custodian of the Association’s agents and/or vendors:

                a.   Bluewater Community Management, LLC

                b.   Titan HOA    Management, LLC       n/k/a Artemis Lifestyles, Inc.

         2      The Notice of Production from Non-Party seeks information that does not appear

reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.     Specifically, the Notice of

Production from Non-Party        seeks privileged   information and correspondence       protected by

attorney-client and work product privilege, as certain individuals from whom information is sought

are employees of the Association’s property management company.          Such employees are, in turn,

current agents of the Association and, thus, regularly participate in privileged communications

with the Association’s legal counsel, consultants, and/or experts on the Association’s behalf

pursuant to contractual duties imposed under a property management agreement. Accordingly, the

information and communications Defendant seeks are privileged and not discoverable under Rule

1.280(b)(1), Florida Rules of Civil Procedure.      See § 90.502, Fla. Stat. See also Las Olas River

House Condo. Ass’n, Inc. v. Lorh, LLC,     181 So. 3d 556 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015).

         3      Moreover, the Notice of Production from Non-Party        is overly broad, as it seeks

documents that are unrelated to the Association’s construction defect claims.       For example, the

Notice of Production from Non-Party seeks all invoices for work performed for the Association

irrespective of whether such work has any relation to the claims and/or issues raised in this

litigation.

         WHEREFORE, the Association hereby objects to Defendant’s Notice of Production from

Non-Party as to Bluewater Management, LLC and Titan HOA Management, LLC n/k/a Artemis

Lifestyles, Inc. served July 8, 2021.
