Defendant Wanda's Deck and Beach Club a/k/a Wanda's Night Club is a business establishment licensed to serve alcoholic and intoxicating beverages pursuant to liquor control license number H- 5017 and is located at 5401 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 6. The aforesaid liquor license was issued to Defendant Mechanicsburg G.F. Investors Company, Inc. 7. All of the facts and occurrences hereinafter related took place on or about the late evening hours of June 10, 1995 and the early morning hours of June 11, 1995. 8. On June 10, 1995, at approximately 10:00 p.m., Plaintiff Dana R. Tozer accompanied several individuals including Rustyn Allan Holp, David Duhovis, Steven Miller, and Deborah Szustowicz to Defendant Wanda's Deck and Beach Club and the Holiday Inn in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 9. At all times relevant herein, Defendant Wanda's Deck and Beach Club engaged in the sale of beer and other intoxicating beverages to patrons for consumption on the premises of Wanda's. 10. At all times relevant herein, Defendants engaged in the practice of offering discount drinks and encouraging over consumption of alcoholic beverages. 11. At all times relevant to the facts and occurrences herein related, the managers, agents and employees who sold and served the alcoholic beverages to the group of individuals including Rustyn Allan Holp and David Duhovis, were acting for the benefit of Defendant Wanda's Deck and Beach Club and within the scope and course of their employment with Defendant Wanda's Deck and Beach Club and all other Defendants herein. 12. At all times relevant herein, Rustyn Allan Holp and David Duhovis were customers of Defendant Wanda's Deck and Beach Club, when agents, servants and/or employees of Defendant Wanda's Deck and Beach Club sold, furnished, gave or permitted to be sold, furnished, or given intoxicating beverages to Mr. Holp and Mr. Duhovis. 13. On the evening of June 10, 1995, Rustyn Allan Holp and David Duhovis were visibly intoxicated while at Defendants' bar. 14. Despite Mr. Holp's and Mr. Duhovis's visible intoxication, the Defendants and their employees continued to sell them intoxicating beverages. 15. Defendant Wanda's Deck and Beach Club's sale and service of the aforementioned intoxicating beverages to Mr. Holp and Mr. Duhovis, while they were visibly intoxicated was negligent and constitutes a violation of the Pennsylvania Liquor Code, 47 Pa.C.S.A. ~ 4-493. 16. At approximately 1:00 a.m. on June 11, 1995, Plaintiff Dana R. Tozer decided to leave Defendant Wanda's Deck and Beach Club. '; 17.

Stephen Miller and Deborah Szustowicz were also passengers in Holp's vehicle. 19. David Duhovis also left the premises of Defendant Wanda's Deck and Beach Club, driving his Toyota MR2. 20. As Rustyn Allan Holp traveled east on Route 322, he and David Duhovis began racing, ultimately resulting in Rustyn Allan Holp losing control of his vehicle, veering off the roadway and becoming involved in a high speed accident. 21. Plaintiff Dana R. Tozer was ej ected from the car and injured, and Deborah Szustowicz was killed during this crash. 22. Rustyn Allan Holp's and David Duhovis's inability to safely operate their motor vehicles and the resulting accident were the direct and proximate result of their being extremely intoxicated and unable to properly control their vehicles. 23. Mr. Holp's blood alcohol level, taken after said incident, was .155, which is over the legal limit. 24. Criminal charges were filed versus Holp and Duhovis. 4 25. On June 6, 1996, a Dauphin County Court convicted Holp and Duhovis of homicide by vehicle, involuntary manslaughter, and four counts of recklessly endangering another person as a result of the aforesaid motor vehicle accident. 26. Plaintiff Dana R. Tozer sustained serious and permanent injuries as a result of the accident and Defendants' negligent conduct in continuing to serve alcoholic beverages to Rustyn Allan Holp and David Duhovis after they were visibly intoxicated. 27. All of the injuries and damages as hereinafter related sustained by Plaintiff Dana R. Tozer are the direct and proximate result of the willful, wanton, reckless, and negligent behavior of Defendants Mechanicsburg G.F. Investors Company, Inc., G.F. Development, Inc. t/d/b/a Wanda's Deck and Beach Club a/k/a Wanda's Night Club and their employees, acting within the course and scope of their employment, which consisted, inter alia, of the following: (a) serving and/or selling Rustyn Allan Holp and David Duhovis alcoholic beverages at Defendants' licensed place of business while Mr. Holp and Mr. Duhovis were visibly intoxicated, all in violation of 47 Pa.C.S.A. ~ 4-493(1); (b) allowing Rustyn Allan Holp and David Duhovis to consume alcoholic beverages on Defendants' licensed premises while they were visibly intoxicated; (c) failing to establish and implement rules, regulations, and procedures which would prevent and preclude the selling of intoxicating beverages to someone who was visibly intoxicated; 5 spine at TlO-Tll with complete spinal cord injury resulting in paraplegia requiring surgical fusion and stabilization, impacting on her functioning at home, work, community, with family and friends and diminishing the quality of her life. 30. By reason of the aforesaid injuries sustained by Plaintiff Dana R. Tozer, she was forced to incur liability for medical treatment, medications, hospitalizations, and similar miscellaneous expenses in an effort to restore herself to health, and claim is made therefor. 31. Because of the nature of her injuries, Plaintiff Dana R. Tozer has been advised and therefore, avers that she may be forced to incur similar expenses in the future, and claim is made therefor. 32. As a result of the aforementioned injuries I Plaintiff Dana R. Tozer has undergone and in the future will undergo great physical and mental suffering, great inconvenience in carrying out her daily activities, loss of life's pleasures and enjoyment, and claim is made therefor. 33. As a result of the aforementioned injuries, Plaintiff Dana R. Tozer has been, and in the future will be, subject to great humiliation and embarrassment, and a claim is made therefor. 34.

On July 29, 1997, counsel for Defendants Mechanicsburg G. F. Investors Co., Inc. and G. F. Development, Inc. , t/d/b/a Wanda's Deck and Beach Club a/k/a Wanda's Night Club forwarded to Plaintiff's counsel objections to Interrogatory Numbers 12, 14 and 35, and "Unknown" as an answer to Interrogatory Numbers 4, 5, 16, 18 and 23 for Set I, while answering the remaining Interrogatories. Also, Defendants forwarded to Plaintiff's counsel objections to Interrogatory Numbers 47 and 50 through 54 for Set II. The answers to Interrogatory Numbers 19 through 21 of Set I and 57 through 61 of Set II are "Unknown at this time." Copies are of the Interrogatories and Defendants' objections/vague answers are attached hereto as Exhibit A. Defendants Mechanicsburg G.F. Investors Co., Inc. and G.F. Development, Inc., t/d/b/a Wanda's Deck and Beach Club a/k/a Wanda's Night Club also objected to Request for Production of Documents Numbers 2, 7, 12, 20 and 21 while responding to the remaining requests. A copy of the objections are attached hereto as Exhibit B. 5. Defendants' objections to Plaintiff's Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents are without merit. 6. Plaintiff respectfully submits she is entitled to have Defendants explain all efforts Defendants have made in answering 2 . . the Interrogatories and not accept vague statements like "Unknown" or "Unknown at this time." 7. Defendants Mechanicsburg G. F. Investors Co., Inc. and G.F. Development, Inc., t/d/b/a Wanda's Deck and Beach Club a/k/a Wanda's Night Club objects on the grounds that requested documents are overbroad and vague and cannot lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. S. Plaintiff's Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents primarily inquire about the Defendant's company policies regarding alcohol sales to customers who are visibly intoxicated, all of which relate to the basis of the present lawsuit. 9. All of the discovery sought by Plaintiff through the Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents is relevant to the instant action. 10. Our Rules of Civil Procedure provide for the liberal granting of discovery. 11. Defendants Mechanicsburg G.F. Investors Co., Inc. and G.F. Development, Inc., t/d/b/a Wanda's Deck and Beach Club a/k/a Wanda's Night Club has failed to comply with the discovery as required by Pa.R.C.P 4005 and 4006. 12. Defendants Mechanicsburg G.F. Investors Co., Inc. and G.F. Development, Inc., t/d/b/a Wanda's Deck and Beach Club a/k/a 3 . . Wanda's Night Club has had more than ample time to respond to Plaintiff's Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents. 13. Pa.R.C.P. 4019 provides that upon motion of a party, the Court can make an appropriate order when a party "fails to make discovery." Pa.R.C.P 4019 (a) (viii). 14. Plaintiff, therefore, believes that answering all of Plaintiff's discovery requests or explaining their efforts made to attempt to answer would not burden or oppress Defendants Mechanicsburg G.F. Investors Co., Inc. and G.F. Development, Inc., t/d/b/a Wanda's Deck and Beach Club a/k/a Wanda's Night Club. 15. Plaintiff is represented by Richard A. Sadlock, Esquire of the firm of Angino & Rovner, P.C., 4503 North Front Street, Harrisburg, PA 17110, (717) 238-679l. 16. Defendants Mechanicsburg G.F. Investors Co., Inc. and G.F.

TOZER, Plaintiff IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS CUMBERLAND COUNTY. PENNSYLVANIA v. MECHANICSBURG G.F. INVESTORS CO., INC. and G.F. DEVELOPMENT INC., t/d/b/a WANDA'S DECK AND CIVIL ACTION - LAW BEACH CLUB, a/k/a WANDA'S NIGHT CLUB, Defendants v, NO. 97-1399 CIVIL DAVID DUHOVIS and RUSTYN ALLAN HOLP, Additional Defendants JURY TRIAL DEMANDED DEFENDANTS' BRIEF IN RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO COMPEI. I. STATEMENT OF FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY I This is a dram shop suit instituted by the Plaintiff against the owners and operators of Wanda's Deck and Beach Club. The case is currently in discovery. In the course of discovery, the Plaintiff has served Interrogatories and a Request for Production of Documents on the Defendants. In due course, the discoyery requests have been answered, documents have been provided and objections have been made to certain requests. Plaintiff has filed a Motion to Compel seeking a ruling on objections and a determination as to the eufficiency of certain responses. Before discussing the specific discovery requests at issue here, a clarification of the parameters of Plaintiff's claim is in order. Plaintiff's Complaint alleges that Defendants' employees served Messrs. Holp and Duhovis (the Additional Defendants) alcoholic beverages at Wanda's while they were visibly intoxicated. Plaintiff herself has already testified under oath in a sworn statement that the six people in her "party," including Holp and Duhovis, were drinking draft beer from pitchers while at Wanda's. (See Exhibit "A", p. 17) Moreover, she also testified that she did not think that Holp and Duhovis were incapable of driving safely when the left Wanda's. (See Exhibit "A", p. 21) She noticed nothing unusual about Holp's demeanor and he was not argumentative or more talkative than usual. (Exhibit "A," p, 15) He did not appear impaired by alcohol to her. (Exhibit "A", p. 20) This brief responds to the contentions raised in Plaintiff's Motion. - 2 - her companions alcoholic beverages while they were visibly intoxicated. That is the issue in the case. Interrogatory No. 14 asks the Defendants whether they have ever had their Operator's License suepended or revokeci. This Interrogatory was objected to as irrelevant, but the fact of the matter is that the Interrogatory does not make much sense. The Defendants are entities and not holders of driver's licenses. This Interrogatory appears to have been included by mistake. Neither of the Defendants have an "Operator's License" which could be suspended. Interrogatory No. 35 asks for the identity of persons interviewed by the Defendants and requests various details of the interviews. This Interrogatory was objected to on the basis that it was overbroad and calls for attorney/client and attorney work product information which is privileged. Although the written response to this Interrogatory does not reflect it, this inquiry was answered by the furnishing of a report from API Investigations. All of the information requested in Interrogatory No. 35 is contained in this report. Plaintiff's Motion to Compel also seeks a ruling on six objections stated to Defendants' Answers to Plaintiff's Interrogatories Set II. - 4 - Interrogatory No, 47 seeks extensive information concerning the type or category of alcoholic beverages eerved and sold at Wanda's, the alcoholic content of each type or category of beverage, the quantities of each type or category of beverages served and sold at Wanda's during June of 1995, the quantities and types of alcoholic beverages served and sold at Wanda's on June 10, 1995, and an identification of various records concerning the quantities and types or categories of alcoholic beverages sold and served at Wanda's in June of 1995. This Interrogatory and its subparts were objected to as overbroad, onerous and not designed to lead to relevant or discoverable evidence. By way of further answer, the Defendants' response to Interrogatory No. 47 explained that discovery to date in this case has established that the Additional Defendants (two of which are the drivers of the vehicles involved in the accident which injured Ms. Tozer) were drinking draft beer from pitchers. Information concerning various types of beverages which are available at the Defendants' Club have no bearing on the question of whether or not the Additional Defendants were served draft beer after they became visibly intoxicated. The requests are clearly onerous, overly burdensome and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence and the objection stated to this Interrogatory should be sustained. - 5 - Interrogatory Nos. SO-54 of Plaintiff's Set II were also objected to largely on the same basis as stated for Interrogatory No. 46. These Interrogatories generally seek information about Wanda's promotional strategies. food and drink specials. advertising and marketing strategies and other such information at or around June 10, 1995. None of this information has a bearing on the issues in the case since, again, discovery indicates that the Additional Defendant drivers were consuming beer from pitchers and were not partaking of drink specials. As for the cost of draft beer, that information was provided. As for promotional strategies, entertainment and social events, the Defendants do operate a club which does from time to time engage in promotional activities designed to bring in clientele. How those activities have anything to do with whether or not the Plaintiff's companions were served alcohol while visibly intoxicated on June 10, 1995, is unclear. Interrogatory Nos. SO - 54 request information which is unduly burdensome, overly broad and not calculated to lead to discoverable or even useful information in this litigation. The objections to Interrogatory Nos. SO-54 should be sustained. Plaintiff also seeks a determination of five objections made to Plaintiff's Request for Production of Documents. Request for Production No. 2 requests "any and all documents containing information related to any answer to any interrogatory. II - 6 - This request is overbroad and vague on its face. Specific information responsive to specific requests was provided. Request for production No. 7 seeks all writings, memoranda, reports, statements and records, etc., which the Defendants possess and which pertain to the Plaintiff's case. Besides the fact that this request does not delineate a request for specific documents, it is overbroad in that it arguably includes privileged information and attorney/work product. Request for Production No. 12 is really the same request as No.7. For the same reasons stated for No.7, No. 12 is also objectionable. Additionally, this vague request for documents was actually answered and the response speaks for itself. Request for Production No. 20 requests "any and all accounting documents and/or other business records that describe the assets, sales, expenses, profit and loss, etc., for Wanda's Deck and Beach Club from the time of its inception to the present." This particular request is overly broaci and unduly burdensome and would require the production of volumes of documents to which the plaintiff currently has no right, The simple fact that a claim for punitive damages has been stated in a complaint does not automatically entitle the Plaintiff to asset and profit and loss information through discovery. ~, Kodak v, Watson, 105 Dauph. 309 (1984); Soraaue v. Walter, 23 D&C - 7 - 3d 638 (1982). These cases set forth a test which balances the interests involved and requires an examination of the pleadings, discovery which has and has not taken place and the general status and stage of the case. Kodak, at 310, Only where these factors indicate that a bona fide claim for punitive damages is present can discovery of financial information take place. ~ In this case, no depositions have been taken and discovery is still in the early stages. Not only is there a lack of information to substantiate a punitive damages claim at this stage of the case, there is no evidence that the Defendants were even negligent. No witnesses have been identifieci who will testify that the Additional Defendants were visibly intoxicated when they were served and, in fact, the written statements which have been reviewed to date indicate that the exact opposite was true. (See,.!L..9..:.., excerpt from Plaintiffs recorded statement under oath attached hereto as Exhibit A). As a result, at this stage of the case, there is no proof of a bona fide claim for punitive damages and financial discovery should be held in abeyance until the Plaintiff can produce such proof. Request for Production No. 20 seeks information regarding liquor license insurance, particularly referencing the relationship between the amount of beer and liquor sold versus the sale of foods. For reasons previously stated, this request is overly - 8 - broad, vague and onerous. The request is also anewered and the answer is "none." B. Pefendants' Answers to Interrogatories are sufficient. Plaintiff challenges the sufficiency of certain of Defendants' Answers to Interrogatories which state that the information requesteci is either "unknown" or "undetermined at this time." A review of these Interrogatories demonstrates that the answers are adequate since sometimes the best and only answer is either unknown or undetermined at this time. Interrogatory No. 4 of Set I asks for particular information about Wanda's employees on June 10, 1995. To the extent this information is known by Wanda's, a list of names, addresses, Social Security numbers, job descriptions and telephone numbers has been provided. The information concerning the particular hours that each employee worked is not known and this information cannot be provided. Interrogatory No. 5 seeks the identification of all individuals who served any alcoholic beverages to the Additional Defendants. The simple answer to this Interrogatory is that the Defendants do not know. The traffic accident which occurred in this case occurred after the Plaintiff and the Additional Defendants left the premises and notice of suit was not received - 9 - until later. The Defendants simply do not know and have not ascertained who served alcohol to the Additional Defendants on the night in question. Interrogatory No. 16 asks the Defendants to identify "all exhibits which you expect to offer into evidence at the time of trial in this case." For obvious reasons, until discovery has been completed, no decision can rationally be made concerning what exhibits are expected to be offered into evidence if and when the case ultimately comes to trial. The fact of the matter is that as for trial exhibits, they are "undetermined at this time." Defendants expect to seasonably supplement this response. Interrogatory No. 18 asks whether any of the dozens of employees or the owner of Wanda's knew the plaintiff or any of the Additional Defendants by appearance or by name. Again, this particular inquiry does not lend itself to a simple answer since a line up of all past Wanda's employees and all of the individuals named in Interrogatory No. 18 would be necessary to determine whether any of the individuals are known by appearance. Interrogatory Nos. 19-21 and 23 of Plaintiff's Set I request information pertaining to Wanda's employees and their observations of the Additional Defendants asking specific questions about those observations. conversations and whether or not the Additional Defendants ordered food on June 10-11, 1995. It bears repeating - 10 - that the accident which gave rise to this suit happened away from Wanda's premises and notice of suit did not occur until much later. Assuming that the Additional Defendants were present on the Defendants' premises, they were undoubtedly observed, but to the best of the Defendants' knowledge, specific observations by particular employees for the night in question are unknown. A summary of the investigation efforts made by the Defendants is contained in the API Investigation report which is appended to the Answers to discovery. An investigation has been undertaken and the answer to these Interrogatories is that the Defendants just do not know. Plaintiff's Motion to Compel also questions the sufficiency of certain Answers to Interrogatories Set II. Interrogatory Nos, 57-61 request information concerning the events of June 10, 1995, action of Wanda's employees, whether the Additional Defendants ran a tab, whether the Adciitional Defendants used a credit card to purchase food or drink and whether anyone other than Wanda's sold or served alcohol to the Additional Defendants on June 10, 1995. These inquiries have been answered "unknown," "not to our knowledge" and the responses also refer Plaintiff to the indiviciuals discussed on the police report. As with the Interrogatories above, an investigation has been made and the Answers to these Interrogatories are accurate to the best of - 11 - the Defendants' knowledge, information and belief as attested to in the Verifications attached to the Interrogatory responses. In closing, the Court should take note that the Plaintiff has answered Interrogatories with some of the same type of responses which counsel now finds objectionable in the Defendants' Answers. (~, excerpts from Plaintiff's Answers to Interrogatories attached hereto as Exhibit B). Several of the Plaintiff's answers to discovery are virtually identical to those answers provided by the Defendants. These Answers by the Plaintiff highlight the fact that sometimes the correct and honest answer to a question is "I don't know" or "I don't know right now." IV. CONCLUSION I For the reasons stated above, Defendants respectfully request that the Plaintiff's Motion to Compel be denied, that the Defendants' Objections to Interrogatories be sustained and that the Defendants' Answers to Interrogatories be deemed adequate.

Plaintiff's Complaint alleges that Defendants' employees served Messrs. Holp and Duhovis (the Additional Defendants) alcoholic beverages at Wanda's while they were visibly intoxicated. Plaintiff herself has already testified under oath in a sworn statement that the six people in her "party," including Holp and Duhovis, were drinking draft beer from pitchers while at Wanda's. (See Exhibit "A", p. 17) Moreover, she also testified that she did not think that Holp and Duhovis were incapable of driving safely when the left Wanda's. (See Exhibit "A", p. 21) She noticed nothing unusual about Holp's demeanor and he was not argumentative or more talkative than usual. (Exhibit "A," p. 15) He did not appear impaired by alcohol to her. (Exhibit "A", p. 20) This brief responds to the contentions raised in Plaintiff's Motion. - 2 - II. STATEMENT OP ISSUES PRESENTED: A. WHETHER THE DEPENDANTS' OBJECTIONS TO DISCOVERY SHOULD BE SUSTAINED? (Suggested answer: Yes.) B. WHETHER THE DEPENDANTS' ANSWERS TO INTERROGATORIES ARE SUFPICIENT UNDER THE RULES OP CIVIL PROCEDURE? (Suggested answer: Yes.) III. ARGUMENT: A. The Defendants' objections to discovery should be sustained. For the sake of clarity and ease of reference, each of the objections to the discovery requests will be explained in turn. There were three objections to the Plaintiff's Interrogatories Set I. Interrogatory No. 12 asks whether Wanda's Deck and Beach Club had ever received any citation or summons of a criminal nature resulting from the operation of the club. This Interrogatory was objected to as overbroad and not designed or likely to lead to the discovery of relevant information. The fact that this Interrogatory is not restricted at all as to time renders the request on its face overbroad. Furthermore, the request has nothing to do with whether or not Wanda's served the Plaintiff and - 3 - her companions alcoholic beverages while they were visibly intoxicated. That is the issue in the case. Interrogatory No. 14 asks the Defendants whether they have ever had their Operator's License suspended or revoked. This Interrogatory was objected to as irrelevant, but the fact of the matter is that the Interrogatory does not make much sense. The Defendants are entities and not holders of driver's licenses. This Interrogatory appears to have been included by mistake. Neither of the Defendants have an "Operator's License" which could be suspended. Interrogatory No. 35 asks for the identity of persons interviewed by the Defendants and requests various details of the interviews. This Interrogatory was objected to on the basis that it was overbroad and calls for attorney/client and attorney work product information which is privileged. Although the written response to this Interrogatory does not reflect it, this inquiry was answered by the furnishing of a report from API Investigations. All of the information requested in Interrogatory No. 35 is contained in this report. Plaintiff's Motion to Compel also seeks a ruling on six objections stated to Defendants' Answers to Plaintiff's Interrogatories Set II. - 4 - Interrogatory No. 47 seeks extensive information concerning the type or category of alcoholic beverages served and sold at Wanda's, the alcoholic content of each type or category of beverage, the quantities of each type or category of beverages served and sold at Wanda's during June of 1995, the quantities and types of alcoholic beverages served and sold at Wanda's on June 10, 1995, and an identification of various records concerning the quantities and types or categories of alcoholic beverages sold and served at Wanda's in June of 1995. This Interrogatory and its subparts were objected to as overbroad, onerous and not designed to lead to relevant or discoverable evidence. By way of further answer, the Defendants' response to Interrogatory No. 47 explained that discovery to date in this case has established that the Additional Defendants (two of which are the drivers of the vehicles involved in the accident which injured Ms. Tozer) were drinking draft beer from pitchers. Information concerning various types of beverages which are available at the Defendants' Club have no bearing on the question of whether or not the Additional Defendants were served draft beer after they became visibly intoxicated. The requests are clearly onerous, overly burdensome and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence and the objection stated to this Interrogatory should be sustained. - 5 - Interrogatory Nos. 50-54 of Plaintiff's Set II were also objected to largely on the same basis as stated for Interrogatory No. 46. These Interrogatories generally seek information about Wanda's promotional strategies, food and drink specials, advertising and marketing strategies and other such information at or around June 10, 1995. None of this information has a bearing on the issues in the case since, again, discovery indicates that the Additional Defendant drivers were consuming beer from pitchers and were not partaking of drink specials. As for the cost of draft beer, that information was provided. As for promotional strategies, entertainment and social events, the Defendants do operate a club which does from time to time engage in promotional activities designed to bring in clientele. How those activities have anything to do with whether or not the Plaintiff's companions were served alcohol while visibly intoxicated on June 10, 1995, is unclear. Interrogatory Nos. 50-54 request information which is unduly burdensome, overly broad and not calculated to lead to discoverable or even useful information in this litigation. The objections to Interrogatory Nos. 50-54 should be sustained. Plaintiff also seeks a determination of five objections made to Plaintiff's Request for Production of Documents. Request for Production No. 2 requests "any and all documents containing information related to any answer to any interrogatory." - 6 - This request is overbroad and vague on its face. Specific information responsive to specific requests was provided. Request for production No. 7 seeks all writings, memoranda, reports, statements and records, etc., which the Defendants possess and which pertain to the Plaintiff's case. Besides the fact that this request does not delineate a request for specific documents, it is overbroad in that it arguably includes privileged information and attorney/work product. Request for Production No. 12 is really the same request as No.7. For the same reasons stated for No.7, No. 12 is also objectionable. Additionally, this vague request for documents was actually answered and the response speaks for itself. Request for Production No. 20 requests "any and all accounting documents and/or other business records that describe the assets, sales, expenses, profit and loss, etc., for Wanda's Deck and Beach Club from the time of its inception to the present." This particular request is overly broad and unduly burdensome and would require the production of volumes of documents to which the Plaintiff currently has no right. The simple fact that a claim for punitive damages has been stated in a complaint does not automatically entitle the Plaintiff to asset and profit and loss information through discovery. ~, Kodak v. Watson, 105 Dauph. 309 (1984); Soraaue v. Walter, 23 D&C - 7 - 3d 638 (1982). These cases set forth a test which balances the interests involved and requires an examination of the pleadings, discovery which has and has not taken place and the general status and stage of the case. Kodak, at 310. Only where these factors indicate that a bona fide claim for punitive damages is present can discovery of financial information take place. IQ. In this case, no depositions have been taken and discovery is still in the early stages. Not only is there a lack of information to substantiate a punitive damages claim at this stage of the case, there is no evidence that the Defendants were even negligent. No witnesses have been identified who will testify that the Additional Defendants were visibly intoxicated when they were served and, in fact, the written statements which have been reviewed to date indicate that the exact opposite was true. (See,.!L..9..:.., excerpt from Plaintiffs recorded statement under oath attached hereto as Exhibit A). As a result, at this stage of the case, there is no proof of a bona fide claim for punitive damages and financial discovery should be held in abeyance until the Plaintiff can produce such proof. Request for production No. 20 seeks information regarding liquor license insurance, particularly referencing the relationship between the amount of beer and liquor sold versus the sale of foods. For reasons previously stated, this request is overly - 8 - broad, vague and onerous. The request is also answered and the answer is "none." B. Defendants' Answers to Interrogatories are sufficient. Plaintiff challenges the sufficiency of certain of Defendants' Answers to Interrogatories which state that the information requested is either "unknown" or "undetermined at this time." A review of these Interrogatories demonstrates that the answers are adequate since sometimes the best and only answer is either unknown or undetermined at this time. Interrogatory No. 4 of Set I asks for particular information about Wanda's employees on June 10, 1995. To the extent this information is known by Wanda's, a list of names, addresses, Social Security numbers, job descriptions and telephone numbers has been provided. The information concerning the particular hours that each employee worked is not known and this information cannot be provided. Interrogatory No. 5 seeks the identification of all individuals who served any alcoholic beverages to the Additional Defendants. The simple answer to this Interrogatory is that the Defendants do not know. The traffic accident which occurred in this case occurred after the Plaintiff and the Additional Defendants left the premises and notice of suit was not received - 9 - until later. The Defendants simply do not know and have not ascertained who served alcohol to the Additional Defendants on the night in question. Interrogatory No. 16 asks the Defendants to identify "all exhibits which you expect to offer into evidence at the time of trial in this case." For obvious reasons, until discovery has been completed, no decision can rationally be made concerning what exhibits are expected to be offered into evidence if and when the case ultimately comes to trial. The fact of the matter is that as for trial exhibits, they are "undetermined at this time." Defendants expect to seasonably supplement this response. Interrogatory No. 18 asks whether any of the dozens of employees or the owner of Wanda's knew the Plaintiff or any of the Additional Defendants by appearance or by name. Again, this particular inquiry does not lend itself to a simple answer since a line up of all past Wanda's employees and all of the individuals named in Interrogatory No. 18 would be necessary to determine whether any of the individuals are known by appearance. Interrogatory Nos. 19-21 and 23 of Plaintiff's Set I request information pertaining to Wanda's employees and their observations of the Additional Defendants asking specific questions about those observations, conversations and whether or not the Additional Defendants ordered food on June 10-11, 1995.

HEALEY, HEALEY ASSOCIATES, HEALEY PINANCIAL CORP., and THE MUTUAL LIPE INSURANCE COMPANY OP NEW YORK, CIVIL ACTION - LAW . . JURY TRIAL DEMANDED Defendants AND NOW, this ORDER day of , 1997, it is hereby ordered that the Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Defendants to comply with Plaintiff's Third Request for Production of Documents is GRANTED. Defendants are hereby ordered to produce all requested documents within days of the date of this order. BY THE COURT: If -I--l; ~ki~l~( f2tU()r:.fop,8 J. as they were material and essential to the employment contract negotiated between the parties; interference with contractual relations based on false statements made by the Defendants to the Plaintiff's clients; defamation or disparagement of services based on false statements made by the Defendants to Plaintiff's clients; and punitive damages based on the willful and reckless nature of the Defendants' conduct and the effect of that conduct on the economic welfare of the Plaintiff. 2. Since the filing of the complaint, the parties have proceeded to completed several rounds of depositions and the exchange of records and documents. 3. On December 13, 1996, this Court issued an Order denying a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment filed by the Defendants as to Counts I, V and VI of the Plaintiff's Complaint and deferring action as to Count VII, 4. Following the Court Order on the Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, the parties proceeded to continue discovery which included a damages deposition of the Plaintiff on March 26, 1997 and exchange of some documents. 5, On March 12, 1997, the Defendants provided to Plaintiff's counsel copies of documents in response to the Plaintiff's Second Request for Production of Documents. Those documents were alleged - 2 - by the Defendants to be proprietary and are now covered by a Confidentiality Agreement signed by all parties. 6. The parties are continuing discovery and Defendants have noticed a rescheduled deposition for Joseph DiMento at 11:00 a.m, on October 22, 1997. 7. Plaintiff has retained an expert witness to review documents, including those covered by the Confidentiality Agreement, and to testify for Plaintiff. After his review of documents, Plaintiff's expert witness advised that Plaintiff request additional documentation concerning the Defendants Donald M. Healey and his MONY Agency, 8. After discussion between counsel, Plaintiff filed a formal Request for Production of Documents on or about September 15, 1997. See Exhibit "A." 9, On or about September 24, 1997, Defendants responded with a formal objection to Plaintiff's discovery, See Exhibit "B." 10. In reply to Defendants' objections, Plaintiff will agree to handle the documents he has requested as proprietary and therefore covered by the previously agreed to Confidentiality Agreement, but the Defendants further object on the basis that the documents sought are not "reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence," - 3 - A, The term "identify" shall have the following meanings: 1.
