1. I, the undersigned, am Plaintiff in pro per in this lawsuit.
2. On or about February 19, 2004 Plaintiff served a Deposition Notice for
Appearance and Production of Documents of Virginia Boyd on March 22, 2004.
3. On the date of the deposition, March 22, 2004, Boyd’s counsel Mr.
Hersh produced no documents. He said that he could not find any notes
taken by Virginia Boyd when she was representing Plaintiff. During the
deposition, Boyd said that she had taken the notes, but indicated that they
might not now exist (Exhibit A, pages 48, lines 12-25, page 49, lines 1-2).
4. Virginia Boyd answered deposition questions for about 90 minutes, at
which time Mr. Hersh directed Virginia Boyd not to answer any more
questions and declared that Plaintiff’s questions were not within the scope
of discovery.
5. At that time Plaintiff suspended the deposition to file a Motion to
Compel.
6. Plaintiff sent a meet and confer letter (Exhibit G) to Mr. Hersh. Mr.
Hersh did not agree to have his client answer questions.
7. Plaintiff asks the Court to compel BOYD to produce the notes she
admits she took on February 12, 2004.
8. Plaintiff asks the Court to compel BOYD to respond to Plaintiff’s
deposition questions regarding events at Castle Park School and Chula Vista
Elementary School District related to Plaintiff’s loss of her position and
eventual dismissal, because the questions are relevant to the subject
matter of this action, and the information is not privileged or otherwise
exempt from discovery.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California
that the foregoing is true and correct.
