OBJECTIONS OF WENDY RAAB ROBBINS TO THE SUBPOENA
DIRECTED TO JEFFREY ROBBINS TO PRODUCE DOCUMENTS
FOR DISCOVERY PURSUANT TO RULE 4009.22
Wendy Raab Robbins ("Ms. Robbins"), by and through her attorneys, Rhoads & Sinon
LLP, objects to the proposed subpoena attached to these objections as Exhibit "A", for the
following reasons:
1. On or about May 9, 2014, Laurie Ann R. Kucher ("Ms. Kucher") and Mandy Raab
Carson ("Ms. Carson") served a Notice of Intent to Serve Two Subpoenas to Produce Documents
for Discovery Pursuant to Rule 4009.21 ("Notice") in the above-referenced matters. One of the
proposed subpoenas included with the Notice was directed to Jeffrey Robbins ("Jeffrey Robbins
Subpoena"). See Exh. A.
2. The Jeffrey Robbins Subpoena requests the following: All documents related to the
Estate of Bernice J. Raab, deceased (the "Estate"), the Walter F. Raab Living Trust ("Walter's
Trust"), and the Bernice J. Raab Living Trust (`Bernice's Trust") ("Document Request") See Exh.
A.
3. Ms. Robbins objects to the Jeffrey Robbins Subpoena because the Document
Request set forth therein is overly broad and unduly burdensome. Moreover, Jeffrey Robbins is
the spouse of Ms. Robbins, who is one (1) of three (3) co-trustees and beneficiaries of the Trusts
that are at issue in this matter, and he is an otherwise disinterested non-party. Jeffrey Robbins has
no responsive andlor relevant documents other than those received in communications with his
wife Ms. Robbins and, thus, Ms. Robbins further objects to the Jeffrey Robbins Subpoena to the
extent it seeks privileged information that is protected as confidential spousal communications.
Ms. Robbins also objects to the Jeffrey Robbins Subpoena to the extent it seeks documents that are
duplicative of those requested from Ms. Robbins and, as such, it is unnecessarily burdensome to
request the same documents and information from an otherwise disinterested non-party. Ms.
Robbins further objects to the Jeffrey Robbins Subpoena to the extent it is calculated to annoy,
embarrass or harass Ms. Robbins and/or Jeffrey Robbins.
