INTRODUCTION

For nearly three months Plaintiff public personality in Baltimore sports talk radio has

failed to comply with written discovery served May 2011 on the basic issues of her

defamation and false light portrayal claims Despite the Courts narrowing of this case in

granting Defendants partial motion to dismiss Plaintiffs answers to basic discovery requests

are evasive and incomplete under Rule 2-432 She repeatedly has refused to provide

definitive list as requested of the statements she claims defamed or cast her in false light

Indeed her responses have become murkier and more evasive with each communication between

counsel and their current positionif there are additional actionable statements will

glean this in the Plaintiffs deposition See July 18 2011 Letter final paragraph attached

as Exhibit 1is utterly untenable Obviously as with any other litigation the Defendants are

entitled through written discovery and before her deposition to notice of the precise wrongs the

Plaintiff alleges

In addition despite centering her claims around the allegation that Defendants intimated

that is involved in personal sexual and/or inappropriate relationships with professional

athletes Complaint 21b she flatly refuses to furnish information about any relationship

with an athlete other than one Baltimore Oriole and one New York Yankee Further she has

claimed privilege on her communications with athletes under the guise of Marylands reporters

shield law yet she has failed to provide privilege log of any sort Moreover Plaintiff refuses to

produce what she arbitrarily has deemed her personal Facebook account with which she

On June 2001 the Honorable Evelyn Omega Cannon dismissed Counts II and IV which sounded in invasion of

privacy by publication of private facts and intentional infliction of emotional distress with prejudice The only

claims remaining are for defamation Count and false light invasion of privacy Count III

In Maryland claim for false light may not stand unless the claim also meets the standard for defamation

Crowley Pox Broad Co 851 Supp 700 704 Md 1994 As in defamation claim false light claim can

only be maintained where plaintiff asserts provably false statement of fact Bagwell Peninsula Regional Med

maintains contact with nearly 1000 friends including number of professional athletes

Finally Ms Royle refuses to identify individuals denominated in her responses as colleagues

members of the public professional athletes and fans all of whom she claims have

information relevant to this lawsuit.3

As Plaintiff has not complied with her obligations under Maryland law and WNST has

not received the notice to which it is entitled this Court should limit her claims to the 18

statements in her latest discovery response require that she furnish all additional information

sought in this motion within 10 days order her to provide access to her entire Facebook

accounts and order payment of costs and reasonable attorneys fees

Procedural Background Leading up to this Motion

Plaintiff filed four-count Complaint on March 10 2011 claiming defamation false

light invasion of privacy by publication of private facts and intentional infliction of emotional

distress Dkt No The entire Complaint arose of words allegedly written or spoken by the

Defendants The Complaint generally alluded to 12 written or oral statements While

characterizing them however the Complaint did not set forth the words dates format or

audience for any statement

On May 2011 Defendants moved to dismiss the private facts and emotional distress

claims and answered the defamation and false light claims At the same time WNST served

written discovery seeking inter alia specific list of the statements details about the timing and

circumstances under which each allegedly was made and an explanation of why each was

Defendants also requested Plaintiffs complete Twitter history and all of her medical records Plaintiffs counsel in

his July 18 2011 letter Ex.l represented that they are being promptly obtained and will be provided to the

Defendants upon receipt On that basis the Defendants will not at this time move to compel Plaintiffs production of

those items Defendants reserve the right to supplement this Motion should the Plaintiff fail to timely provide the

documents

Page 4: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

allegedly false This discovery obviously is necessary to furnish the Defendants with notice and

to enable them to prepare their defense

At June hearing Judge Cannon granted Defendants motion dismissing the private

facts and emotional distress counts with prejudice and without leave to amend See June 22

2011 Order attached as Exhibit During that hearing Judge Cannon explicitly stated that Ms

Royle had not plead facts sufficient to state claims under either of those torts copy of the

transcript of the June 2011 hearing is attached as Exhibit The ruling left Plaintiff with just

two causes of action defamation and false light portrayal

Although Judge Cannon cut Plaintiffs lawsuit in half when Plaintiff first responded to

the written discovery on June and she attached an Exhibit to her interrogatory responses

that listed 26 separate statements which she alleged to be false and defamatory See Ms Royles

Initial Responses to WNSTs Interrogatories attached as Exhibit number of these

statements however had no factual content at all and appear related to the emotional distress

claim that the Court dismissed Moreover number of statements were not even attributed to

the Defendants at all See ii

On June pursuant to Rule 2-432 Defendants sent Ms Royle letter outlining these

deficiencies copy of Defendants June letter is attached as Exhibit Counsel for the parties

met by telephone on June 15 and Defendants counsel reiterated that Plaintiff needed to specify

which statements allegedly made by the Defendants that she claims are false and defamatory or

portrayed her in false light Following that call Plaintiffagain instead of conforming her

claim to the causes of action she has pleadedexpanded it by serving notice of more than 50

independent statements many of which again contained no facts and allegedly were made by

Page 5: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

people other than the Defendants See Exhibit to Plaintiffs Responses to WNSTs

Interrogatories attached as Exhibit

On June 27 2011 Defendants wrote two letters to Plaintiffs counsel One noted her

continuing failure to furnish required discovery responses copy of this letter is attached as

Exhibit The other provided notice that by continuing to mushroom the number of allegedly

actionable statements Plaintiff has brought herself within the prohibitions of Rule 1-341 as she

is forcing Defendants to litigate frivolous claims by refusing to reasonably conform to the

contours of her defamation and false light counts copy of this letter is attached as Exhibit

In response Ms Royle again supplemented her interrogatory responses The text of her

response to Interrogatory No listed 18 allegedly false statements However she attached

another Exhibit listing 33 separate statements copy of Ms Royles Supplemental

Interrogatory Responses and her Supplemental Exhibit are attached as Exhibit In July 15

telephone conference Defendants counsel sought to clarify that the 18 statements in the text of

the interrogatory responses constituted all statements that the Plaintiff has placed at issue in the

lawsuit Plaintiffs counsel seemingly provided that reassurance However following written

confirmation by Defendants counsel Exhibit 10 Plaintiffs counsel instead responded by letter

Exhibit stating that the Plaintiff would not provide the complete list of her statements until her

deposition there are additional actionable statements will glean this in

Plaintiffs deposition Id emphasis supplied

Thus as to the alleged statements around which this entire lawsuit is framed Defendants

have asked on at least five separate occasions for an appropriately narrowed list and Plaintiff

repeatedly has expanded contracted and expanded her response The Courts intervention

therefore is unfortunately necessary to assist the parties in defining the contours of Plaintiffs

Page 6: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

claim As to the remaining discovery issues the parties are at impasse despite Defendants

efforts to resolve them without inconvenience to the Court

ARGUMENT

Ms Royle Has Failed to Meet Her Discovery Obligations under Rules 2-432 by

Responding to WNSTs Discovery in an Evasive or Incomplete Manner

Under Rule 2-43 court may compel production of discovery if the information sought

is discoverable and the partys responses are evasive or incomplete which under the rule

constitutes failure to provide discovery Md Rule 2-432 Marylands discovery rules are

broad and comprehensive in scope Baltimore Transit Co Mezzanotti 227 Md 13

1961 and promote liberal disclosures in the interest of advancing the sound and expeditious

administration of justice Id E.I du Pont de Nemours Co Forma-Pack Inc 351 Md

396 405 1998 Among the fundamental and principal objectives of the rules is to eliminate

as far as possible the necessity of any party to litigation going to trial in confused or muddled

state of mind concerning the facts that gave rise to the litigation Mezzanotti 227 Md at 13

Defendants here have repeatedly sought to clarify confused or muddled discovery responses to

clarify the facts that gave rise to the litigation The responses provided however continue to

obfuscate and magnify the basic issues

The Court Should Order That Ms Royles Defamation and False Light

Claims are Limited to the 18 Statements Provided in the Latest

Supplemental Discovery Response and Should Award Costs

Following service of the Complaint vaguely describing 12 allegedly injurious statements

WNST issued the following simple interrogatory asking Plaintiff to list each and every

statement made by WNST she alleges was false and the reasons for her assertion of falsity

Page 7: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

INTERROGATORY NO.4 For each statement identified your answer to

Interrogatory No.3 explain the reason that you claim it was false when madeidentify each and every fact on which you base your contention identify all

persons known to you who have knowledge of such facts and for each person

identified state the substance of that persons knowledge

Due to the extreme length of Ms Royles many responses to this

interrogatory please see Ms Royles responses in Exhibits and which are

incorporated by reference hereto

Ms Royle answered this question for the first time shortly after Judge Cannon dismissed

half of her lawsuit As noted and throughout the successive responses outlined in this motion

Plaintiff appeared to have limited her remaining defamation and false light claims to universe

of approximately 18 statements recited in her Supplemental Response to Interrogatory No but

she also included document labeled Supplemental Exhibit See Ex That document

contains alleged statements that have no possible relevance to either remaining tort claim such

as

Glenn Clark blogs that Ms Royles description of an Orioles game was wrong He later

analogizes her to character on the Jersey Shore because she is disaster He states that

he doesnt want her to do her job better Ex Supp Exhibit at 000001

Glenn Clark just ripped Royle on the air that morning and are now calling

Ms Royle Jen Midol Ex Supp Exhibit at 000002

Drew Forrester blogs that fans wont get to meet Jen Royle This appears to be joke

that she thinks of herself as star Ex Supp Exhibit at 000006

Drew Forrester tweets that Jen Royle is just tourist in Baltimore Ex Supp Exhibit

at 000009

Despite initial assurances that Plaintiff had confined herself to the 18 statements in her

the text of her interrogatory response Plaintiffs counsel now takes the position that the Plaintiff

will not disclose her entire factual basis until her deposition is taken there are additional

actionable statements you will glean this in Royles deposition See Ex To leave

the basic facts of her claim confused and muddled until her deposition violates Plaintiffs

Page 8: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

discovery obligations under Rule 2-421 Moreover this conduct is additionally sanctionable

under Rule 1-341 which states

In any civil action if the court finds that the conduct of any party in maintaining

or defending any proceeding was in bad faith or without substantial justification

the court may require the offending party or the attorney advising the conduct or

both of them to pay to the adverse party the costs of the proceeding and the

reasonable expenses including reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the adverse

party in opposing it

Rule 1-341 can be an effective tool for the deterrence of unnecessary or abusive

litigation and the Court may invoke it to award party costs including reasonable attorneys

fees if it finds the opposing party has been maintaining or defending any proceeding in bad

faith or without substantial justification Zdravkovich Bell Atlantic-Tricon Leasing 323 Md

200 592 A.2d 498 503 1991 see also Seney Seney 97 Md App 544 631 A.2d 139 144

1993 the Rules purpose is to deter unnecessary and abusive litigation. Under the Rule

bad faith exists when party litigates solely with the intent to cause harassment or

unreasonable delay Barnes Rosenthal Toyota Inc 126 Md App 97 727 A.2d 431 435

1999 And lack of substantial justification exists when litigants position is not fairly

debatable and not within the realm of legitimate advocacy Id Conduct lacks substantial

justification when there is no basis in law and/or in fact to support the plaintiffs claim against the

defendants who seek fees and costs Johnson Baker 84 Md App 521 581 A.2d 48 52

1990

Here Plaintiff and her counsel skirted all debateand the law of this caseby pressing

claims for numerous statements that clearly are neither defamatory nor cast her in false light

Then just when it appeared the Plaintiff was willing to scale her lawsuit back to reasonable

proportions counsel advised that her claims will remain undefined until her deposition when

Defendants can glean her intent Just as breach of contract defendant is entitled to know

Page 9: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

what contract he allegedly breached and an insurance company is entitled to know what

personal injury it is defending defamation defendant like WNST is entitled to know with

specificity the allegedly actionable words it will be called on to defend WNST therefore asked

the Court to enter an order under Rules 2-432 and 1-34 limiting Plaintiffs claims to the 18

statements listed in her supplemental response to Interrogatory No WNST further requests an

award of its costs including reasonable attorneys fee in connection with this request

Ms Royle Must Fully Answer Discovery Relevant to Her Allegation that

WNST Made Statements that is involved in personal sexual and/or

inappropriate relationships with professional athletes Complaint

21b

WNST is entitled to discovery related to the absolute defense of truth

Ms Royles Complaint includes the sweeping allegation that Defendants made statements

that Royle is involved in personal sexual and/or inappropriate relationships with

professional athletes Complaint 21b Accordingly WNST issued requests to Ms Royle

to better understand the nature of her claim and to discover facts relevant to its defense

INTERROGATORY NO 21 Identify all former or current professional

athletes with whom you have ever been inclined in personal relationship

sexual relationship and/or inappropriate relationship including but not

limited to any current or former player or member of the coaching staff or

management in Major League Baseball the National Football League the

National Basketball Association the National Hockey League Major League

Soccer the Arena Football League the PGA Tour the ATP World Tour

NASCAR any minor league affiliate of such leagues or any other minor

professional league i.e AAA baseball and the American Hockey League For

each person identified state their full name address phone number and the dates

and nature of any such relationship

Response Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory as it contains several

interrogatories each involving separate and distinct issues under the guise of single

interrogatory in contravention of the limits imposed by Rule 2-421 of the Maryland

Rules of Civil Procedure The interrogatory seeks information immaterial to the instant

litigation and is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible

evidence Further the Interrogatory is overly broad vague and ambiguous The

Page 10: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

interrogatory calls for speculation and conjecture as it does not define the phrase

inclined in

Supplemental Response Defendants have made false statements about

relationships with Nick Swisher and Brian Matusz Plaintiff limits her claims and

responses to these athletes Furthermore as the Interrogatory fails to define the phrase

inclined in4 and the Defendants have not supplemented the Interrogatory to define

the phrase Plaintiff continues to object on the grounds that this Interrogatory calls for

speculation and conjecture Without waiving these objections and subject thereto the

Plaintiff has not had any inappropriate and or sexual relationships with either Nick

Swisher or Brian Matusz as those words are defined in Plaintiffs Supplemental Answer

to Interrogatory No 20

INTERROGATORY NO 22 Identify all former or professional athletes

with whom you have ever had intimate romantic or sexual relations of any nature

including but not limited to any current or former player or member of the

coaching staff or management in Major League Baseball the National Football

League the National Basketball Association the National Hockey League Major

League Soccer the Arena Football League the PGA Tour the ATP World Tour

NASCAR any minor league affiliate of such leagues or any other minor

professional league i.e AAA baseball and the American Hockey League For

each person identified state their full name address phone number and the dates

and nature of any such relationship

Response Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory as it contains several

interrogatories each involving separate and distinct issues under the guise of single

interrogatory in contravention of the limits imposed by Rule 2-421 of the Maryland

Rules of Civil Procedure The interrogatory seeks information immaterial to the instant

litigation and is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible

evidence Further the Interrogatory is overly broad vague and ambiguous

Supplemental Response See Plaintiffs Supplemental Answer to Interrogatory

No 21

Ms Royles answers are evasive and incomplete as she arbitrarily limits her responses to

New York Yankee Nick Swisher and Baltimore Oriole Brian Matusz refusing to answer the

interrogatories with regard to any other professional athlete Ms Royle cannot escape the basic

allegation of her own Complaintthat she stands wrongly accused of having personal sexual

Ms Royle objects to the typographical error inclined in in Interrogatory No 20 ignoring the obvious intended

meaning apparent in Interrogatory No 21 which indicates inclined in was intended to be involved in MsRoyles objection does not relieve her of her discovery obligations

10

Page 11: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

and/or inappropriate relationships with professional athletes.5 Ms Royle cannot pick and

choose among the athletes about whom she will answer these questions

Indeed under Maryland law her relationships with athlete is relevant and

discoverable whatever the nature and whoever they are In Maryland statement is not

considered false unless it would have different effect on the mind of the reader from that

which the pleaded truth would have produced Batson Shfflett 325 Md 684 725 1992

citing Sack Libel Slander and Related Problems 138 1980 footnote omitted Thus any

relationship she has with any athlete is relevant to the truth or falsity of her allegations and to

her reputation in the professional athletic community Because these broad allegations are at

issue Defendants are permitted to discover information relevant to the allegations of her

Complaint and the Plaintiff should be compelled to answer the interrogatories as asked

Ms Royle cannot avoid her discovery obligations by broadly invoking

Marylands Reporters Shield Law and providing no privilege log

Consistent with WNSTs Interrogatory Nos 21 and 22 regarding the nature of Ms

Royles relationships with professional athletes WNST also served number of document

requests intending to discover the universe of athletes with whom Ms Royle had relationship

of any kind See Ms Royles First and Supplemental Responses to WNSTs Requests for

Production attached as Composite Exhibit 11 However Plaintiff broadly asserts the Maryland

Reporters Shield Law Md Code COURTS JUDICIAL PROC 9-112 flatly refusing to produce

single responsive document and failing to provide privilege log Notably while Plaintiff

attempts to limit her responses to Interrogatory Nos 21 and 22 to Mr Swisher and Mr Matusz

she provides no communications between her and either of these gentlemen For the sake of

At the appropriate juncture Defendants will establish that they made no such statement

brevity WNST includes the requests at issue followed by Ms Royles generic boilerplate

objection which she included in the exact same form responding to each request at issue

DOCUMENT REQUEST NO All documents and communications with

any current or former professional athlete from 2000 to the present For the

purposes of this question professional athlete includes but is not limited to any

current or former player in Major League Baseball the National Football League

Baltimore Orioles baseball organization from 2000 to the present

DOCUMENT REQUEST NO 14 All documents and communications with

any current or former player member of the coaching staff or management in the

Baltimore Ravens football organization from 2010 to the present

Response Plaintiff objects to the foregoing Request as it is overly broad unduly

burdensome harassing vague and or ambiguous as it requires Plaintiff to produce

voluminous documents that are unrelated to the allegations of the Complaint The

Request as worded is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible

evidence Further the Plaintiff objects to the extent this Request seeks disclosure of

information which is protected by the First Amendment of the United State Constitution

and the Maryland Shield Law See Md Code Ann Courts Judicial Proc 9-1 12

Tofani State 297 Md 165465 A.2d 413 1983 Plaintiff objects to the extent this

Request seeks documents or information already in the custody or control of the

Defendants or which may be obtained by the Defendants more conveniently less

expensively and with less burden than by the Plaintiff

Supplemental Response To the extent non-privileged responsive documents

exist and are in the immediate possession custody or control of the Plaintiff they have

been produced herewith

First despite her supplemental response the Plaintiff has produced communications

12

Page 13: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

between her and professional athlete Second despite her assertion of reporte privilege

Plaintiff has refused to provide privilege log of any kind that states the basis for her assertion of

privilege the identities of the individuals with whom she communicated the date of such

communications and the nature of those communications In Maryland the burden of

establishing the existence of privilege rests with the party seeking to assert it El du Pont de

Nemours Co Forma-Paclç Inc 351 Md 396 415 1998 see also Maxima Corp 6933

Arlington Development Ltd Partnership 100 Md.App 441 456 1994 Ms Royles general

assertion of privilege without more fails to comply with the requirement of Rule 2-422 that

party fully state with specificity the grounds for refusal to produce requested document

In considering similarly general assertions of attorney-client privilege the Court of

Special Appeals has held that blanket assertion is generally extremely disfavored and

ordinarily the privilege must be raised as to each record so that the court can rule with

specificity Maximma 100 Md App.at 457 Indeed one court applying Maryland law has held

that partys failure to provide privilege log may constitute forfeiture of any claims of

privilege Victor Stanley Inc Creative Pipe Inc 250 F.R.D 251 267 Md 2008

Maryland courts have not specifically addressed the reporters privilege in responding to

civil written discovery However in assessing the invocation of the reporters privilege in

depositions the Court of Special Appeals has held that such assertions must adhere to the Rules

of Procedure and Discovery Guidelines See Forensic Advisors Inc Matrixx initiatives Inc

170 Md App 520 536-37 2006 In particular Discovery Guideline 5c provides that where

claim of privilege is asserted the party invoking the privilege must identify with specificity the

nature of the privilege together with the type of document the general subject matter

the date of the document and such other information as is sufficient to identify the

13

Page 14: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

document for subpoena duces tecum including where appropriate the author addressee and

any other recipient of the document and where not apparent the relationship of the author

addressee and any other recipient to each other Discovery Guideline 5c

In this case Plaintiffs boilerplate assertion of reporters privilege fails to provide this

particularized justification for asserting privilege See Mezu Morgan State University 269

F.R.D 565 577 Md 2010 With no privilege log WNST has been denied the opportunity to

make meaningful challenge concerning information directly relevant to her claims and WNSTs

defenses For these reasons this Court should compel Plaintiff to produce the requested

documents or alternatively to produce privilege log containing the information called for in

Discovery Guideline 5c

Ms Royle Must Provide WNST With Her Complete Facebook Account

WNST requested that Ms Royle provide access to all of her Facebook accounts for

inspection and copying

Instead Plaintiff reinterprets this straightforward request by applying an arbitrary

distinction She produced complete copy of her professional fan page on Facebook but flatly

refuses to provide any information regarding her personal Facebook page See Ex Despite

the fact that her counsel has represented that Plaintiffs personal page has been download9d

DOCUMENT REQUEST NO 33 Produce for inspection and copying at

mutually agreeable place and time complete access to all Facebook.com accounts

within your control

Response Plaintiff objects to this Request as it is overly broad unduly

burdensome and is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible

evidence Further the Request seeks information which is not relevant to the allegations

in the Complaint

Supplemental Response To the extent non-privileged responsive documents

are in the immediate possession custody or controL of the Plaintiff they have been

produced herewith

14

Page 15: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

that information is being withheld without any cognizable objection Plaintiffs arbitrary

distinction between professional and personal Facebook activities is misplaced brief view

of Ms Royles publicly available personal profile demonstrates that she maintains

friendships on Facebook with professional athletes such as Major League Baseball players

Robinson Cano Nick Swisher and Wil Nieves and National Football League players Ben

Grubbs and Brendon Ayanbadejo current listing of Ms Royles friends on her personal

Facebook profile is attached as Exhibit 12 Thus to the extent that she has used Facebook to

communicate with these athletes and any others who might have privacy settings hiding them

from view as well as photos status updates or other information evidences such relationships

WNST is entitled to discover that information Moreover if Ms Royle has communicated with

any of her colleagues or friends on her personal Facebook page about her work as

journalist or other issues relevant to her lawsuit she has no greater right to protect such

communications because they were made through her personal Facebook page rather than

though any other medium of communication

Additionally Plaintiff alleges that Defendants have damaged her professional and

personal reputation among members of the public and among the professional athletes she

covers have been endangered See Plaintiffs Response to Interrogatory No 10 at Exs and

To this end the communications with and about Plaintiff on Facebook with nearly 1000 of her

friends are highly relevant to her reputation and credibility in the community even if she

deems the site personal Finally the communications Plaintiff makes are all highly relevant to

her frame of mind and thus to the emotional damages she claims Complaint 35 and 55

For all these reasons Ms Royles arbitrary distinction between her personal and

professional Facebook pages is inappropriate This Court should therefore compel Ms Royle

15

Page 16: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

to comply with the discovery request and permit WNST an opportunity to inspect and copy what

she deems to be her personal Facebook page or alternatively order Ms Royle to produce in

electronic form all documents she has already obtained from Facebook

Ms Royle Must Identify All Individuals Referenced In Her Discovery

Responses

In number of her discovery responses Plaintiff vaguely refers to numerous individuals

with knowledge of information relevant to the issues raised by her Complaint but fails to

identify them by name Plaintiff also refers to documents and communications with identified

individuals but has refused to produce those documents Plaintiffs responses therefore remain

evasive vague and incomplete

INTERROGATORY NO Identify all communications between you and any

other persons including but not limited to the Defendants relating to the

statements identified in your answer to Interrogatory No For each identify the

date of the communication by whom the communication was authored or made to

whom the communication was addressed all those who received the communication

whether the communication was made orally or in writing the substance of the

communication and any response to the communication

Response Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory as it contains several

interrogatories each involving separate and distinct issues under the guise of single

interrogatory in contravention of the limits imposed by Rule 2-421 of the Maryland

Rules of Civil Procedure The interrogatory as worded is overly broad vague and

ambiguous as well as unduly burdensome as the Interrogatory does not define the term

communications Further Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it seeks

information protected by the attorney-client privilege and the attorney work-product

doctrine Without waiving and subject to said objections Plaintiff prepared

correspondence to the Baltimore Ravens organization on or about August 14 2010

Plaintiff exchanged emails with colleagues and management at MASN and CBS as

well as telephone conversations beginning on approximately January 13 2011

regarding the Defendants conduct As discovery is ongoing Plaintiff reserves the right

to supplement and or amend her response to this Interrogatory

Supplemental Response Without waiving and subject to Plaintiffs original

objections to the extent the correspondence is in the immediate custody possession or

control of the Plaintiff copies have been provided See PRDR 000070-000071

000076-000078 The recipients of the letter to the Raven Public RelationsMedia staff

included to Chad Steele Patrick Gleason and Kevin Byrne Plaintiff exchanged emails

16

Page 17: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

with Jim Cuddihy of MASN on or about January 13 2011 regarding the Defendants

conduct Plaintiff emailed Greg Bader of the Baltimore Orioles Organization on or

about 6/11/2011 Greg Bader responded to the email with an email directly to Ms

Royle Plaintiff refers the Defendants to Plaintiffs Original and Supplemental

Responses to Requests for Production of Documents and Exhibit

Here her supplemental response fails to provide documents and supporting information

about the e-mails with colleagues and management at MASN and CBS as well as telephone

conversations. .regarding Defendants conduct Although Ms Royles counsel advised that the

only correspondence with MASN was one e-mail to Jim Cuddihy which has been provided Ms

Royle failed to provide py correspondence or information regarding conversations with her

colleagues at CBS including the names of the individuals with whom she spoke or the

dates and substance of those communications

INTERROGATORY NO 10 Describe in detail any damages you contend to

have suffered to your reputation as proximate result of the statements identified

in your answer to Interrogatory No the reasons for your belief that those

statements were the proximate cause of any such loss identify all persons who you

contend have knowledge of such loss and for each person identified state the

substance of that persons knowledge

Response Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory as it contains several

interrogatories each involving separate and distinct issues under the guise of single

interrogatory in contravention of the limits imposed by Rule 2-421 of the Maryland

Rules of Civil Procedure The Interrogatory as worded is overly broad vague and

ambiguous as well as unduly burdensome as it seeks for Plaintiff to identify all persons

with personal knowledge of the facts relevant to the issues in the case even if she has

no knowledge of their existence Without waiving and subject to said objections the

Defendants actions have caused Plaintiffs professional and personal reputation to be

called into question Defendants conduct has caused members of the public to believe

that she is bitch liar and has had sexual relationships with Nick Swisher and/ or

Brian Matusz Plaintiffs credibility with the professional athletes she covers has been

endangered by these false assertions and she has been forced to explain herself to

others as result of the Defendants false statements

Similarly here despite multiple requests Ms Royle refuses to identify the individuals

who have called into question her professional and personal reputation the members of the

public who believe that WNSTs actions caused them to believe that Ms Royle is bitch or

Page 18: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

liar or whom believe that she has had sexual relationship with Nick Swisher and/or Brian

Matusz Ms Royle has also failed to identify the professional athletes she covers with whom

her credibility has been endangered nor the unidentified others who Ms Royle contends

that she has been forced to explain herself to

INTERROGATORY NO 12 Describe in detail any damages other than those

identified in response to the preceding interrogatories suffered by you as

proximate result of the statements identified in your answer to Interrogatory Nothe reasons for your belief that the such statements were the proximate cause of

any such loss identify all persons who you contend have knowledge of such loss

and for each person identified state the substance of that persons knowledge

Response Plaintiff refeis to and incorporates her Answers to Interrogatories

Nos 10 and 11

First Supplemental Response Plaintiff refers to and incorporates her Answers

to Interrogatories Nos 10 and 11 Plaintiff refers the Defendants to the documents

attached in response to Defendants Request for Production of Documents Plaintiff

reserves the right to supplement her Answer

Second Supplemental Response Plaintiff has suffered reputational damages as

supported by the negative comments tweets and general opinions held by fans who

have heard and believe the statements identified herein Additionally Plaintiff has been

called slut bitch and other insulting names by fans who have heard or read the

Defendants statements See Responses to Requests for Production of Documents and

Supplemental Exhibit

Finally here Ms Royle fails to identify the fans who have heard and believe the

statements identified herein and fans who have heard or read the Defendants statements

who allegedly called Ms Royle slut bitch or other insulting names Similar to the

deficiencies with her answers to Interrogatory Nos and 10 Ms Royles refusal to specifically

identify these individuals creates virtually limitless and impossible universe of witnesses from

which she might call upon to testify

II In Addition to Ordering Ms Royles Compliance With WNSTs Discovery Requests

Within 10 Days This Court Should Award Costs Including Reasonable Attorneys

Fees

Ms Royles continued reftisal to provide documents and information at the core of this

litigation has set back WNSTs evaluation of her claims and the preparation of its defense As

detailed above WNST made numerous efforts to amicably resolve these discovery disputes

inconveniencing the Court Since WNST has been forced to seek redress from this Court Ms

Royles continued failure to comply with her discovery obligations inhibits the trial courts

inherent authority to manage its affairs and achieve an orderly and expeditious disposition of

cases See Hossainkhail Gebrehiwot 143 Md App 716 728 2002

After granting motion to compel courts have broad discretion to determine appropriate

sanctions on the violating party River Ins Co Mayor City Council of Baltimore 343

Md 34 47 1996 Braxton Faber 91 Md App 391 396-97 1992 In imposing sanctions

trial courts have considered whether the disclosure violation was technical or substantial

the timing of the ultimate disclosure the reason if any for the violation the degree of

prejudice to the parties respectively offering and opposing the evidence and whether any

resulting prejudice might be cured by postponement and if so the overall desirability of

continuance Hossainkhail 143 Md App at 725-26 see also Sindler Litman 166 Md App

90 124 2005

Here Plaintiffs failures of discovery are substantial and deliberate She has stubbornly

refused to define the basic contours of her defamation and false light claims She flatly reftises

to produce her Facebook page based on an arbitrary distinction that it is personal She dodges

question directed to her claim that Defendants accused her of inappropriate or sexual

relationships with professional athletes by denying relationship with two professional baseball

19

Page 20: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

players but conspicuously naming no others She improperly invokes privilege over an

enormous subset of relevant information evidencing her relationship with professional athletes

And she refuses to name numerous witnesses apparently with knowledge of the facts giving rise

to her claims These failures are not accidental and WNST continues to be prejudiced by them

Accordingly sanction of some kind is necessary to prevent Plaintiff from continuing to

frustrate WNSTs defense of her lawsuit

To begin with pursuant to Rule 2-43 the Court should issue an order prohibiting

Plaintiff from introducing into evidence any materials she has not provided for Defendants Rule

2-433a2 See also Attorney Grievance Commn of Maryland James 385 Md 637 659-

612005exclusion of evidence as sanction was warranted where partys failure to provide

timely discovery failed to give opposing party adequate time to review and prepare

Storetrax.com Inc Gurland 168 Md App 50 89-90 895 2006 affd 397 Md 37 2007

the damage in withholding evidence despite the remedy available in motion to compel is

unfair surprise Ms Royles failure to provide documents and information material to her

claims including the identity of the fans and professional athletes whom she alleges have

information substantiating her reputational damage deprives WNST of its ability to reasonably

mount defense See Helman Mendelson 138 Md App 29 43-44 2001

Irrespective of the relief it orders the Court should award WNST costs and fees If the

Court finds failure of discovery it shall require the party to pay to the moving party the

reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining the order including attorneys fees unless the court

finds that the opposition to the motion was substantially justified or that other circumstances

make an award of expenses unjust 2-433 evasive or incomplete answer is to be

treated as failure to answer under Rule 2-432b The imposition of sanctions for failure to

20

Page 21: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

comply with discovery including by awarding costs and attorneys fees under 2-433c is within

the sound discretion of the trial court See Mullaney Aude 126 Md.App 639 633 1999

Here Plaintiffs responses were plainly inappropriate Her deficient responses to

interrogatories even as supplemented as well as her evasive document production and improper

invocation of privilege clearly violate the rules of discovery requiring the disclosure of relevant

information so that the eventual resolution of lawsuit is based on ftll and accurate

understanding of the true facts Plaintiffs continuing acts of delay amount to an open and

obvious attempt to impede and obstruct the Defendants right to discovery matters that go

directly to the heart of the Complaint As such WNST respectfully requests that this Court issue

an order to reimburse WNST for its attorneys fees and costs incurred in preparing this motion

CONCLUSION

For these reasons WNST requests the Court grant its Motion and Order

That Plaintiffs Complaint is limited to the 18 allegedly false statements in her

supplemental response to Interrogatory No

That within 10 days the Plaintiff shall answer Interrogatory Nos 21 and 22

regarding her involvement in personal sexual and/or inappropriate relationships with

professional athletes

That within 10 days the Plaintiff shall produce all documents responsive to

Document Request Nos 10 11 12 13 and 14 or alternatively if she asserts the reporters

privilege that she produce privilege log consistent with Discovery Guideline 5c

That within 10 days the Plaintiff shall produce for inspection and copying her

personal Facebook account or alternatively produce her complete downloaded personal

Facebook account

21

Page 22: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

That within 10 days the Plaintiff shall identify the unnamed individuals within

her responses to Interrogatory Nos 10 and 12

That Plaintiff is prohibited from introducing into evidence any materials she has

not provided to the Defendants within the 10 days provided in the Courts Order

That the Plaintiff to pay the Defendants reasonable attorneys fees and costs in

responding to her discovery deficiencies and any other relief the Court deems just and

necessary

Re Jennifer Royle NASTY 1570 Sports LLC et al

Case No 24-C-11001571

Dear Mr Tobin

send this letter pursuant to the issues discussed in our teleconference on July 5th 2011

As an initial matter we have provided all responsive documents in our immediate

possession custody and control answering your discovery requests on three separate occasions

The Plaintiffs discovery responses will continue to be supplemented upon the receipt of

additional responsive documents given the deadline for discovery in this matter is February 21

2012

Moreover the Plaintiffs personal Facebook.com account information and the names of

every individual athlete with whom the Plaintiff has ever been inclined in personal sexual

and/or inappropriate relationship with are not relevant to and have no bearing upon the

allegations in the Complaint Plaintiffs allegations relate to her professional reputation as

To the extent that the information sought in Interrogatories No 21 and 22 is related to and/or seeks the

production of confidential source information or information collected as part of the Plaintiffs role as member of

the media such information is confidential and protected under 9-112 of the Courts and Judicial Proceedings of

the Annotated Code of Maryland As you well know court cannot compel the admission of confidential

information collected by member of the press including her sources without clear and convincing evidence that it

is relevant to significant legal issue

journalist The allegations regarding relationships with professional athletes are limited solely to

the Defendants defamatory statements concerning Brian Matusz of the Baltimore Orioles

organization and Nick Swisher of the New York Yankees organization See Supplemental

Answer to Interrogatory No 21 Thus any relationship whether personal sexual inappropriate

intimate romantic or otherwise that the Plaintiff has/had with other athletes if any is wholly

irrelevant to whether the Plaintiff has had such relationship with Mr Matusz and Mr Swisher

With respect to the Plaintiffs medical records all records in the possession custody or

control of the Plaintiff have been produced We have followed up with Dr Liebman and have

sent executed authorizations and requests for the records of the following health care providers

Further you have refused to produce the Defendants Facebook.com account information

on the grounds that it is not relevant despite the Plaintiffs request for such documents In good

faith attempt to obtain the relevant responsive documents we request that the Defendants

supplement their discovery responses with any professional Facebook.com account information

including but not limited to the WNST.net organization page and place page as well as

Defendant Aparicios fan page It is inexplicable that you refuse to produce Defendant Aparicio

Clark and Forresters personal Facebook.com account information on the grounds of relevancy

and claim that you are entitled to Plaintiffs personal Facebook.com account information which

contains no information related to the allegations in the Complaint and which is used solely for

non-professional purposes

The twitter records produced by Defendants are incomplete It appears that rather than

searching for the relevant responsive information you simply produced tweets from certain

days surrounding the blog posts and twitter posts previously identified in the Plaintiffs

discovery responses We believe there are additional tweets that would be responsive to the

Plaintiffs discovery requests Furthermore we continue to discover blogs relating to the Plaintiff

on the website operated and maintained by Defendant WNST and readily accessible to youwhich you have failed to produce This indicates that you have failed to perform detailed

search of the Defendants databases for the requested responsive documents and information

Given the foregoing and attached hereto Plaintiff has produced the all information

related to her profesional Facebook.com fan page look forward to receiving the Defendants

professional Facebook.com account information as well as the relevant blog posts and twitter

posts requested in the Plaintiffs discovery responses

Finally have received and reviewed your letter to me of July 15 2011 It is incorrect

What we discussed and what confirmed was that Supplemental Answer to Interrogatory Noconstitutes statements which are actionable If there are additional actionable statements youwill glean this in the Plaintiffs deposition and we will of course supplement Plaintiffs Answer

to Interrogatory No accordingly Your continued reference to Maryland Rule 1-341 is

inappropriate and misplaced

Tobin on behalf of the Defendants Your Honor were

here on -- what is essentially reduced to Motion to

Dismiss single count in the Complaint We have

answered defamation count We have answered false

light count and proceeding on written Discovery

presently And in their opposition papers to our Motion

to Dismiss they have conceded and cleared the way to

entry of dismissal of Count which sounds an invasion

of privacy by publication and private facts So the

only issue remaining for argument today is our motion as

to Count which is intentional infliction of emotional

distress

Your Honor my clients are the owners and

employees of sports radio station an a.m station

here in the Baltimore market The Plaintiff Jennifer

Royle is also sports radio broadcaster with the f.m

station owned by CBS WJZ radio So this is lawsuit

against rival sports -- filed by rival sportscaster

against rival sportscaster

The grounds for our motion today are that

emotional distress as tort in Maryland is highly

disfavored She has opportunities to pursue her claim

by virtue of our answering for defamation and for false

light but she does not meet the qualifications meet the

elements prima facie on the face of her complaint for

pleading claim for intentional infliction of emotional

distress

We have three grounds for our argument and

they go to the three separate elements of the cause of

action Number one the conduct she alleges is all oral

communications that she alleges are false and

defamatory the second basis for her defamation claim

And under the case law recited to the Court oral

statements even if defamatory even if allegedly in poor

taste even if injurious are not actionable absent more

than that like close personal relationship And even

in those cases the bar is set very very high

Second of all the Plaintiff has not alleged

Serving Maryland Washington and Virginia

41 0-766-HUNT 48681-800-950-DEPO 3376

Page 37: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

the severity of harm required to satisfy the tort in

Maryland because Maryland has such high threshold for

the tort the harm must constitute severe and disabling

emotional distress She does not plead that in the

complaint Finally Your Honor there were no facts

sufficient to support the allegation of intentionality

to cause severe emotional distress which is third

element that is required for the tort

As to the first one the conduct alleged We

rely on four precedent cases that we believe fully

answer the issue Batson phonetic vs Shiflett

phonetic decided by the Court of Appeals Ratner

phonetic vs Miller and Penn Hollow phonetic vs

Cecil County decided by the Court of Special Appeals

And finally federal case relying on Maryland law

Thompson vs BET Soundstage

In the first three cases Batson Miller and

Penn Hollow the Court was confronted with the action

ability under the emotional distress tort of alleging

defamatory or offensive words Her complaint alleges

that things were said about her job Things were said

about the performance of her job Things were said

about the truthfulness of her resume Things were said

about that were demeaning to women Things were said

about here in all of those connections with how she

Serving Maryland Washington and Virginia

410-766-HUNT 48681-800-950-DEPO 3376

Page 38: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

performs her job In each of the three of the first

three cases mentioned Batson Miller and Penn Hollow

The Court of Appeals and the Court of Special Appeals

held that mere words alone mere insults even if

offensive to woman with all apologies to the Court we

put those words in our reply brief Even words that are

really nasty if thats what we said which remains for

later proceedings just do not qualify for the tort

under that very high threshold

Our first grounds are that in her complaint

Paragraphs 19 through 24 and in her opposition brief

she makes clear this entire claim is about words that

she doesnt like and considers injurious and that form

the basis for her remaining defamation and false light

claims and on that basis alone we believe dismissal is

warranted

Moving to the severity of the emotional

distress claim She has to plead and prove that the

intentional infliction of the stress caused such severe

harm that it interfered with her ability It rendered

her disabled from conducting her daily life Clearly

she pleads in the complaint she still performs on the

radio Still conducts herself on the radio But as to

the complaint itself the allegation that she has made

is that she has seen mental health counselor and taken

Serving Maryland Washington and Virginia

41 0-766-HUNT 48681-800-950-DEPO 3376

Page 39: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

medications Thats what we have for the purposes of

today on the face of the pleadings

In the case of Harris vs Jones which is

where the Court of Appeals in 1977 adopted the false

light tort In the case of Polder phonetic Bowen

that in 1993 the Court of Appeals revisited the tort

And most recently in April of 2001 in the Special

Appeals Court Ladding phonetic vs St Josephs

Society which arose out of this courthouse case

thrown out on Motion to Dismiss by Judge Allison All

of the courts said that allegations that someone went to

mental health counselor and took medication are not

enough to meet the severity of the threshold test

formulating for disabling and debilitating emotional

distress

And just to give you an example in Folder vs

Bolden the Plaintiff pleaded that he was unable to make

associations with people He was locked in room

unable to leave and as result of that lost trust in

people He became paranoid All of the allegations

that arguably are even more stringent than she has in

her complaint were held not to meet the needs of the

tort And the only cases that have succeeded on the

basis of offensive words or single visit to

psychiatrist or series of visits to psychiatrist

Page 40: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

There has been special intimate relationship

They rely for example on the case of

Figuredo phonetic Torres In that case the Court

and the later court said that was really outlying

case really special case In that case marriage

counselor was counseling husband not to be intimate

with the wife and at the same time having sexual

relations with the wife And the Court of Appeals

understandably held that that was severe enough to

constitute intentional infliction of emotional distress

and the severity to harm was great enough to qualify for

the tort because of the specialness of the relationship

In this case were dealing with rival

sportscasters saying things about each other in public

places on Twitter on Facebook Everybody has public

profile There is not that special relationship that

should cause this ordering Court to lower the bar below

very high level that Maryland has set

Finally as to the element that they have to

allege intent with sufficient particularity In the

Ford case that we have cited Ford vs Juvenile

Administration the Court noted that pleading has to

set forth specific facts of the intent What their

complaint says is we intended it We obviously

knowingly made the statements that they allege

Whatever those statements turn out to be And they say

HUNT REPORTING COMPANYCourt Reporting and Litigation Support

Serving Maryland Washington and Virginia

41 0-766-HUNT 48681-800-950-DEPO 3376

Page 41: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

that therefore drawn inference and its axiomatic that

we must have intended to cause severe emotional

distress Thats not what the law in Maryland says In

the Minicki phonetic case in particular it says the

Plaintiff has to get to the evidentiary particulars

You cant ask court to rely on axiom or inference from

the acts to and from intent So they have to plead very

specifically what our intent was not just the boiler

plate of the language and theyve done nothing of the

kind

Moreover there is First Amendment overlay

to any case involving speech over public airwaves about

public figure like their client Ms Royle sports

radio personality And in the First amendment case of

Falwell vs Hustler magazine the rights inaudible of

Hustler Magazines depiction of Reverend Jerry Falwell

in an advertisement parody advertisement The

Supreme Court said they have to establish First

Amendment actual malice The highest standard of

culpability for free speakers under the First Amendment

in the United States That would require them in their

complaint to plead and prove facts to show that we

actually knew the statements were injurious to her as

matter of emotional distress and would cause severe

debilitating emotional distress that would disable her

from her daily life under the standard

So for those three independent reasons Your

Honor were not asking for dismissal of anything else

today other than what weve conceded by the facts

claimed We are moving forward Weve just exchanged

written Discovery on the defamation and the false light

claim but we do believe for all three independent

reasons that the Court should dismiss the prejudice the

intentional infliction claim as it does not meet the

very high bar that Maryland requires Thank you Your

Honor

MS MOYLjAN Your Honor first and foremost

Counsel is correct that we are not opposing the Motion

to Dismiss Count for the invasion of light publication

and public facts However Your Honor the reason were

here today is determine whether the Defendants conduct

as pled and assuming the truth thereof which is the

standard in Maryland on Motion to Dismiss rises to the

level of extreme and outrageousness yet sufficient

enough to withstand the instant motion

The case law and the Court of Appeals of

Maryland have said the task here is whether the conduct

would be tolerated by reasonable person in todays

society dont believe that being sniffed at water

cooler while youre at work and then having one of the

Defendants then tweed that they would have snapped your

neck in half because you stood up for yourself when you

were being sniffed at the water cooler in professional

environment Having reporter and colleague refer to

you as scratch and sniff sticker and various other

allegations that are contained in the complaint

specifically at 2lA through -- Im sorry through

going forward to Count -- Paragraph 25 This type of

behavior and the type of behavior thats alleged in the

complaint is harassment The General Assembly has

passed criminal statute and would argue that

supports the notion that this is not tolerable in

civilized society

Additionally we wouldnt be here today if the

Defendants conduct had been conducted at cashier in

grocery store or even if it was male attorney at one

firm saying this about female attorney at

competitors firm in an effort to belittle the person

to stifle the competition to cause them to suffer not

only in professional life but in their personal lives

by spreading falsities about that persons private life

Who that person has had sexual relationships with when

this person then has to go and then cover these same

people as shes been alleged to have sexual relations

with on the internet on the radio to other colleagues

in the press boxes in professional work settings

The intention issue find puzzling because

there is no doubt that by washing into -- its alleging

complaint that the Defendant began to do this on

February 24 2010 Its been more than year that the

Plaintiff Ms Royle has been suffering from constant

harassment by the Defendants And the sole purpose of

this campaign has been to harass her to get her to quit

her job to stifle her competition to just reek havoc

on her reputation that shes built and that shes worked

hard to build

And the statements have been circulated in

local media its been circulated to the public and the

Defendants are in particular position where they do

have various outlets of placing these false statements

out there for the public to believe and we intend to

prove that the public has in fact taken these

statements as true That she slept with various

professional athletes that shes lied on her resume

shes had to explain herself to her superiors at work

and that was at the very least done in reckless

disregard for the fact that it would cause Ms Royle

extreme emotional distress It was willful and

malicious and it was meant to drive her out of the local

sports media

The physical manifestations of the Defendants

conduct that caused the Plaintiff severe emotional

distress are well pled Shes forced to seek medical

treatment and is continuing to seek medical treatment

Shes changed her work habits She has to take

prescription medication to deal with the emotional

distress that has been inflicted by the intentional act

of the Defendants and to endure this campaign of abuse

And would argue Your Honor that these are

not mere insults and theyre not indignities or

tribulations that should be endured by somebody as part

of an everyday life Its perfectly acceptable to

engage competitor to comment and express as the

Defendants motion says that shes professionally inapt

However the Defendant has crossed the line is simply

what happened here Launching into year long tirade

against another reporter that includes allegations that

are completely false as alleged and has taken as true

causing her to suffer in her professional relationships

her personal relationships and intended to cause her

damage No professional woman should be expected to

endure this as part of everyday life And would

argue Your Honor that these statements would not have

been made to male

THE COURT But thats not really what Im

deciding Im not deciding if the statements were good

Thats not the inaudible for intentional infliction

Im not deciding the statements would have been to

male Im not deciding whether or not somebody should

tolerate them Thats not what Im deciding Thats

not what the law is So thats not -- and just want

to be really clear thats not what the law is

MS MOYLZAN Right

THE COURT Its not whether or not it was

good idea Its not whether or not somebody should

tolerate it Its not whether or not they were fair

Its not whether or not they upset her Its not

whether or not about people believed it Its not

whether or not you know it messed up her job Thats

not what intentional infliction of emotional distress

is None of those things None

MS MOYLAN understand Your Honor

THE COURT So then dont need to consider

any of that

MS MOYLAN would argue that the statements

as alleged in the complaint are extreme and outrageous

and that the Defendant acted intentionally to cause Ms

Royle severe emotional distress and would also submit

another issue for the Court today that todays society

is altered by social media by the variety of outlets

that the Defendants have used to impute with the purpose

-- to make statements with the purpose of imputing Ms

Royles professional --

THE COURT That is not emotional distress

In other words its actually when you tell me if that

is the intent that is not severe emotional distress

Lets assume -- in other words cause thats saying

what the affect it had on other people It had other

people thinking that it doesnt say disabled her In

other words you may think Im the worst person in the

whole wide world but if continue to function might

be able to sue under another tort because you think that

but cant sue under intentional infliction of

emotional distress because you think that

So if they did it so you can think that that

might be another tort but its not intentional

infliction of emotional distress because Im still

working and Im still functioning Even though you

think these evil things of me and can recover money

for that but not under intentional infliction of

emotional distress

MS MOYLAN And understand this is

disfavored --

THE COURT All Im saying is that the

different elements -- in other words what you are

arguing is not the elements

MS MOYLAN And would argue that the acts

while they were intended for -- would argue that the

conduct of the Defendant had two-fold purpose and it

was also intended to cause Ms Royle to suffer to

suffer severe emotional distress and --

distress

MS MOYLAN She was suffered from an existing

testimony that she was found at home inaudible her

say Im not in charge of the world but Im not even in

charge of the Court of Special -- Im not even on the

Court of Special Appeals dont get chance to make

it up and Im not deciding whether or not this behavior

was appropriate but what youve alleged doesnt come

close to what you just described

MS MOYLAN And if Your Honor is inclined

to grant the Motion to Dismiss we would ask for leave

to amend

THE COURT No Why would you have anything

to amend If you had anything to say you would have

said it No No On what basis would there be leave

to amend for what

MS MOYLAN To provide -- if Your Honor is

saying that it fails to state cause of action --

THE COURT What are you going to amend it to

say Whats going to happen thats going to change it

MS MOYLAN We would include the allegations

in the affidavit of the statements and --

THE COURT But it doesnt come close to what

youve just described You just gave me an example of

severe emotional distress and what youve described

doesnt come close You have nothing to show that comes

close And again Im not deciding if the behavior was

Page 50: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

Thats not what is before me right now The question

is whether or not theres intentional infliction of

emotional distress has been adequately pled dont

see it dont get chance to make it up Ive got

to do what the law says just dont see it

MS MOYLAN Thank you Your Honor

THE COURT And want to be very clear The

Court in ruling can assume that everything the Plaintiff

said in her complaint and everything that her lawyer

argued is true Including in fact actually what her

lawyer argued is to intent that it was the intention to

put her out of business and so she wouldnt be doing

this work at all mean assuming that and Im just --

lets just assume the facts support that inference No

matter what still theres no way this Court cannot

grant the Motion to Dismiss mean the most obvious

and think there are problems with some of the other

elements but the most obvious elements is theres not

severe infliction Severe -- mean it really is

different tort It is not damages Intentional

infliction of emotional distress does not mean emotional

damages Thats not what it means and thats

essentially what is pled is saying there is emotional

harm but thats not what the Court is deciding Thats

not the tort The tort is substantially more and

think the example given by Plaintiffs Counsel in terms

of the case where somebody was really disabled from

functioning that that would be -- mean the fact that

someone is able to continue with all of their activities

of daily living and to go and seek professional help and

to seek medication may mean that if another tort is

proved in fact the person could recover damages under

another tort but it does not at all come close to

intentional infliction It just doesnt do it So for

all those reasons will grant the Motions to both

Re Jennjfer Royle NASTY 1570 Sports LLC et aL

Maryland Circuit Court for Baltimore City Case No 24C 11001 571

Dear Mr Goodman

We send this letter pursuant to Rule 2-431 in good-faith effort to resolve your clients

noncompliance with her discovery obligations under Rules 2-421 and 2-422 Specifically the

responses Plaintiff Jennifer Royle has furnished to WNST Sports Media LLCs WNST first

set of interrogatories and document requests are deficient as described in detail in this letter We

request that Ms Royle supplement her responses within ten 10 days of the date of this letter to

avoid the need to inconvenience the Court with Motion to Compel

Plaintiffs Responses to WNSTs Interrogatories

Your clients responses to the interrogatories are evasive and incomplete under Rule 2-

432 due to the following deficiencies

Various references to unnamed individuals Throughout Ms Royles interrogatory

responses she alludes to unnamed individuals who she contends may have information related to

her Complaint The interrogatories require her to provide the names and contact information for

each These references include

Interrogatory No and Exhibit

The current and former colleagues of Defendants referenced in the

response to Interrogatory NoThe other members of the local media referenced in the response to

Interrogatory NoThe CBS employee referenced in relation to statements allegedly made

on 8/5/20 10 as described in Exhibit to Ms Royles responses

Page 85: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

Mr Brian Goodman Esq

June 2011

Page

The member of the media referenced in relation to statements allegedly

made at Ravens practice on 9/7/20 10 as described in Exhibit to Ms

Royles responses

The individual who informed you that Nestor made comments about you

on the air on 2/22/2010 as described in Exhibit to Ms Royles

responses

Interrogatory NoThe individual within the Baltimore Ravens organization to whom Ms

Royle prepared correspondence on or about August 14 2010 as

described in Ms Royles answer to Interrogatory NoThe colleagues and management at MASN and CBS with whom you

exchanged emails as well as telephone conversations beginning on

approximately January 13 2011 regarding Defendants conduct as

described in Ms Royles answer to Interrogatory No

Interrogatory No 10

The individuals who have called into question Ms Royles professional

and personal reputation as described in her answer to Interrogatory No10

The members of the public who believe that Defendants actions have

caused them to believe that Ms Royle is bitch liar and has had

sexual relationships with Nick Swisher and/or Brian Matusz as described

in Ms Royles answer to Interrogatory No 10

The professional athletes Ms Royle covers with whom Ms Royles

credibility has been endangered as described in Ms Royles answer to

Interrogatory No 10

The others with whom Ms Royle contends that she has been forced to

explain herself to as described in Ms Royles answer to Interrogatory

No 10

Interrogatory No Similarly in response to this standard interrogatory asking Ms

Royle to identify individuals who may have information relating to her Complaint she lists five

non-parties by name but fails to state the substance of their testimony knowledge or

information as the interrogatory required Further Ms Royles response alludes to current and

former colleagues of Defendants and other members of the local media but does not identify

those individuals by name nor does she disclose the substance of their testimony knowledge or

information

Interrogatory No Ms Royle responds to this interrogatory by attaching Exhibit

paraphrase of the statements about her that she alleges are false However the interrogatory

calls for verbatim recitation of each alleged false statement of fact alleged by Ms Royle

Very few of the alleged statements in Exhibit include the exact words used For example MsRoyle alleges oral communications where Mr Clark allegedly just ripped her on the air

Page 86: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

Mr Brian Goodman Esq

June 92011

Page

8/512010 and where Drew Nestor and Glenn continued speaking about her 9/12/2010

These and the other instances in Exhibit do not provide sufficient notice to the Defendants or

the Court of the allegedly false and defamatory words Further Exhibit fails to identifS the

web address of any allegedly actionable statements that Ms Royle contends are on WNSTswebsite

Interrogatory No Ms Royles response incorporates her response to the preceding

interrogatory which asks an entirely different question Rather than explaining why she believes

iistatement identified in her answer to Interrogatory No was false when it was made as

Interrogatory No requests Ms Royle generally states that she has never lied on her resume

and has never purported to have credentials she does not have Moreover Ms Royles response

states that she has never been romantically involved with Nick Swisher or Brian Matusz but

her Complaint generally alleges statements that she has had personal sexual and/or

inappropriate relationships with professional athletes Complaint 27 Therefore Ms Royle

must respond to the interrogatory as to all professional athletes as asked and as her Complaint

alleges and not limit her response to Ms Swisher or Mr Matusz

Interrogatory No Ms Royle generically refers to conversations correspondence and

telephone conversations with unnamed individuals and in addition to failing to provide their

names and contact information fails to state the date of the communications or the substance of

the communications as the interrogatory requests

Interrogatory No Ms Royles response incorporates her response to Interrogatory

No which provides none of the information sought in Interrogatory No regarding MsRoyles complete factual basis for her assertion that the Defendants knew statements were false

subjectively entertained doubts as to the truth or falsity of statements or published them with

high degree of awareness as to their probable falsity

Interrogatory No Ms Royles response directs WNST to Ms Royles response to

Interrogatory No which provides none of the information sought in Interrogatory Noregarding the complete factual basis for Ms Royles allegation that Defendants acted with

common law malice ill will or spite

Interrogatory No 11 Ms Royles response refers to Dr Goldiners letter but has not

furnished any such document

Interrogatory No 12 Ms Royles response incorporates her response to Interrogatory

Nos 10 and 11 neither of which provides the information sought in Interrogatory No 12

regarding whether Ms Royle has any damages other than those identified the other interrogatory

responses Because her response does not include any other damages we will rely on this

representation that she has none and proceed with the defense on that basis

Interrogatory No 15 Ms Royle responds with the names of two doctors and lists no

other medical professionals with whom she has ever visited concerning her mental and/or

Page 87: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

Mr Brian Goodman Esq

June 92011

Page

emotional health in her lifetime as the interrogatory required Ms Royles pre-existing mental

health condition is clearly relevant to the allegations of her Complaint

Interrogatory No 16 Ms Royle objects to this interrogatory which requests

correspondence with members of the public about her work in Baltimore without stating

whether any documents or communications exist that are responsive to the question Obviously

Ms Royles reputation is clearly relevant to the allegations of her Complaint and the

interrogatory requests information on that issue

Interrogatory No 19 Ms Royle failed to attach the document referenced as Exhibit

to her responses Moreover her response provides no information about her reason for leaving

each place of employment as the interrogatory required

Interrogatory No 20 We advised your colleague Alexandra Moylan at the June 2011

hearing that Ms Royle failed to answer this interrogatory in any manner Ms Royle is required

to respond to this interrogatory as with all others

Interrogatory Nos 21 and 22 Beyond the boilerplate objections to these interrogatories

Ms Royle provided no information citing relevancy grounds Ms Royles Complaint at 27alleges that the Defendants made false statements that she had personal sexual and/or

inappropriate relationships with professional athletes Defendants therefore are entitled to the

information requested in Interrogatory No 21 about any former or current professional athlete

with which Ms Royle has ever had personal sexual andlor inappropriate relationship as

well as the information requested in Interrogatory No 22 for information about any intimate

romantic or sexual relations of any nature she has ever had with any former or current

professional athlete This information is directly relevant to the allegations of her Complaint

Plaintiffs Responses toWNSTs Document Requests

To date you have not provided us with any documents responsive to WNSTs requests

On June 2011 following the hearing on Defendants Motion to Dismiss we asked Ms Moylan

about the requested documents that she advised were in your office We requested that she send

us those documents right away To date we have not received them Please email or those

documents to us or send them overnight

Ms Moylan further advised during our June discussion that your law firm is still

awaiting responsive documents from Ms Royle As you are aware and as am sure you advised

Ms Royle Rule 2-422 requires that parties be prepared to exchange documents by the deadline

for responding to request for production Accordingly in addition to the documents in your

possession that you will produce immediately please provide all further responsive documents

by no later than Thursday June 16th to avoid our having to inconvenience the Court with

discovery motion practice

With respect to Ms Royles written responses they are evasive and incomplete tinder

Rule 2-432 due to the following deficiencies

Failure to Provide Privilege Log Ms Royle objects on the basis of privilege without

concurrently submitting privilege log consistent with the instructions and Maryland law

Without privilege log Defendants and the Court are unable to determine what specific

documents are being withheld and whether or not Ms Royles objections are appropriate

Specifically Ms Royle asserts that documents are protected by the attorney-client privilege

and/or work-product doctrine in her responses to Document Request Nos 16 17

18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 and 32 and the Maryland Shield Law in her

responses to Document Request Nos 9-14

Document Request No The response provides an objection but does not indicate

whether any responsive documents exist

Document Request No Ms Royles objection is misplaced Contrary to her

assertion all communications between her and the Defendants are not within the Defendants

possession custody and control For example the Defendants do not possess large number of

Ms Royles Tweets that were directed towards @WNST and they are not available on Twitter

Further Ms Royles interrogatories and requests for admission to the Defendants suggest that

Ms Royle believes she asked the Defendants to stop publishing statements concerning her yet

the Defendants are unaware of any communications in that regard particularly if made by her in

writing She is required under this request to provide these and all other documents and

communications between her and any Defendant

Document Request No Ms Royles objection to this request also is misplaced All

communications between Ms Royle and third parties about her lawsuit are not within the

Defendants possession custody or control Further the request is not overly burdensome To

the contrary it is confined to the time period relevant to this litigation

Document Request Nos 21 22 23 and 26 Ms Royles responses are

nonresponsive as they refer WNST to Exhibit to her interrogatory responsesMs Royles

characterization of the alleged statements made by Defendantsrather than producing the

documents supporting her allegations that these statements were in fact made The plaintiff is

required to provide the Defendants and the Court in litigation of this nature with the precise

words that are allegedly false and defamatory Ms Royles characterizations of statements in

Exhibit rather than providing the statements themselves does not meet her obligations in

discovery

Document Request Nos and 34 Ms Royles objection is misplaced here as well All

documents relevant to her activities on Twitter are not within the Defendants possession

custody or control In the request WNST set forth specific non-burdensome means by which

Ms Royle may obtain her entire Twitter history in electronic format at no cost to her Rather

than complying in good faith with this relevant and reasonable request Ms Royle refuses to

Page 89: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

Mr Brian Goodman Esq

June 92011

Page

produce single Tweet Moreover Ms Royles statement that she uses Twitter daily pursuant

to her professional duties does not relieve her of her obligations in discovery

Document Request Nos through 14 Ms Royle broadly objects on the basis of the

Maryland Shield Law but fails to assert whether such documents exist and if they do Ms Royle

fails to submit privilege log consistent with the instructions and Maryland law Without such

WNST and the court are unable to evaluate the sufficiency of any asserted privilege Moreover

Ms Royles answer to Interrogatory No states that she prepared correspondence to the

Baltimore Ravens organization that relates solely to an incident raised by her lawsuit which

clearly would not fall within the protections of the Maryland Shield Law

Document Request No 32 Ms Royles objection based on relevance is misplaced here

as well Contrary to her assertion all communications between her and members of the public

are not within the Defendants possession custody and control Obviously Ms Royles

reputation is clearly relevant to the allegations of her Complaint and the request seeks

documents related to that issue

Document Request No 33 Contrary to Ms Royles boilerplate objection the

information contained on her Facebook profile is directly relevant to the issues raised in her

Complaint Like Twitter Facebook provides an easy cost-free and non-burdensome method to

access all information on Ms Royles account including to status updates email messages

photos listing of friends etc Specifically when logged onto her Facebook account Ms Royle

should select the Account tab followed by the Account Settings tab followed by selecting

Download your Information Ms Royle may then hit the Download button and her entire

account will compiled by Facebook and emailed to the email address Facebook has on record

We look forward to your supplemented responses and document disclosures within ten

10 days of this letter We reserve the right to add to these objections once your client has

further responded to her discovery obligations including providing all responsive documents If

you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us

Very truly yours

Mike Gonzalez was TERRIBLE last night It wasnt all his fault but he

thoughts included

To lose 14 of the last 16 games and have record of 2-14.. something to

Let me quote myfavorite movie Bull Durham good friend of mine used

to say This is very simple game You throw the ball you catch the ball

you hit the ball Sometimes you win sometimes you lose sometimes it rains

Think about that for while

stereotypical because she is an out-of-towner He later states that she is not

qualified to ask any questions and insinuates that she frequents hang outs of

Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher

Jen Royle is the new 0s beat reporter for the teams flagship radio station

105.7 In typical Fan Fashion they hired an out-of-towner to handle the

duties of covering the team In all fairness if youre going to hire beat

reporter she might as well be pretty .no offense Casey

What will Jen Royle ask MacPhail Answer Shes not equipped to even

ask anything shes Yankees fan Maybe she can ask MacPhail if hes ever

been to the Cobb Chop House in Manhattan think heard her say its one

of Swishs favorite hang outs

No the Orioles did not beat Zack Greinke despite what someone over at

by Zack Greinke which is ALMOST just as good

Edit from GMC Some might say Im obsessed vith her Theyre right Its

similar to how many of us are obsessed with Snooki from Jersey Shore

Drew then comments that Ms Royle prefers other cities and is just in Baltimore

on scholarship

As for that girl at 105.7 she can try to write about how much she loves

crabs and Sabatinos and Fells Points great view of the sunset but the truth

of the matter is that shes here on scholarship She knows that Three years

from now her apartment in Baltimore will be occupied by someone else and

shell be in Chicago or Los Angeles or Miami or some other ritzy place

where her pretty smile and expensive perfume habit will be part of some

other stations budget

EDIT from DF at 535pm Since posted this len has launched into

ferocious Twitter attack claiming among other things that Ill never be

anything but miserable small-time talk show host who cries over his

baseball team She should know lot about claiming something in

Baltimore to be small-time since she is on the record saying she had

Al Says

January 26th 2011 at 848 amHow embarrassed should Baltimore Magazine be for promoting certain

sports personality as one of Baltimores most eligible singles Shouldnt

the criteria be that Baltimore singles should actually be from Baltimore or an

active member of the Baltimore communitySecond question When said Baltimore single commented how all her

friends and back tracked to include all from out of state agreed how

horrible her magazine picture is shouldnt Baltimore Magazine offer up the

community retraction of their mistake to add her

Perhaps they shouldve waited until the spring travel issue to highlight all of

the tourist sites in and around town

Drew Have you ever actually met and talked with Jen Royal or do you

disrespect her on the air because shes female and according to you

always smells really nice which is your way of saying she doesnt know

sports but because she smells nice she has job She probably doesnt give

you the time of day and thats why you dont like her DF Youre funny

but Ill humor you more Ive talked to Jen Royle on several occasions Each

time shes been condescending snarky unfriendly and snobby think she

knows sports Ive NEVER once said she didnt know sports What Ive said

is that she doesnt know BALTIMORE And because of that she has no

historical perspective at all on the Orioles and Ravens My remarks about

how great she smells .those are COMPLIMENTS She always smells great

Youd have to ask her why she insists on smelling that great around bunch

of athletes Thats not for me to decide But she always smells like winner

is because she has pretty face and breasts that she is not qualified to discuss the

3/30/2011 Nestor blogs

You can search anywhere on the internet you like and you will not find

shred of evidence that weve ever said or done anything more than tell the

truth about her journalism skills and her outlandish behavior in social media

and in Owings Mills We literally have hundreds and hundreds of public

pronouncements made by Miss Royle via social media that quite frankly

would make any WNST.net employee an ex employee And yes do the

hiring and firing here at WNSTMiss Royles feelings have been hurt by thousands of people in Baltimore

and she is quite fighter based on what we read from her public work Her

blog reiterates that on daily basis as she calls fans jerks Baltimorons

and the like You can check it out for yourself Its quite public just like this

blog

Apparently shes only decided to sue us here at WNST.net

Perhaps its because were direct competitor perhaps its because she feels

like shell get her name in the local newspaper and shell eventually extract

some money out of us Win or lose the attorney fees and my time spent

dealing with this nonsense will certainly be draining my piggy bank so Imloser beginning today no matter the outcome of this frivolous case

But to spread vicious rumors about her Not me Not this staff Not EVER at

Ive been doing this for 27 years as professional locally nationally and

on the internet We dont spread rumors We dont gossip We dont lie And

were unabashedly able to own up to ANYTHING we officially report via

any of our media properties at WNST.net

But were also not strangers to pointing out that our product is the best in the

marketplace every day and telling you why and proving it every day with

our passion industriousness and accountability If we dont tell you how

good we are we certainly dont expect our competition to do it

And when our competitors bring inferior out-of-town talent into the

marketplace were going to point it out

Especially when any media member would be so brazen about loving the

Yankees and Red Sox and so openly disrespectftil to the community theyre

serving the community that is literally feeding them

I. .1

No one at WNST.net has ever written or said what these allegations suggest

Not even close

We said Jennifer Royle doesnt know as much about Baltimore sports as we

do

We said shes lacking information and professionalism which ifyouve

followed her on Twitter youd see why weve come to that conclusion

Shes public figure She has fan page on Facebook She chooses to go on

the radio and serve up her opinions about our sports culture And she

chooses to fight with Baltimoreans and local sports fans seemingly every

single day of her life on the internet

The truth is this is frivolous case filed by woman who is trying to come

to Baltimore and make name for herself by suing the best sports media

company in Baltimore for pointing out what weve known since the day she

arrived Shes not Baltimore sports expert and now she has her feelings

hurt and is trying to injure WNST its partners employees agents and fans

Re Jennjfer Royle NASTY 1570 Sports LLC et aL

Maryland Circuit Court for Baltimore City Case No 24C1l00157l

Dear Mr Goodman

We send this letter pursuant to Rule 2-431 as further good-faith effort to resolve your

client Jennifer Royles non-compliance with her discovery obligations under Rules 2-421 and 2-

422

As you know Ms Royle initially responded on June 2011 to our clients written

discovery requests We wrote to you on June with detailed explanation of our concerns with

that response Following our letter on June 15 you and spoke briefly by telephone and you

suggested and agreed that we table further discussion until after we had exchanged

documents You assured us that Ms Royles supplementation and documents would address

most of our concerns On June 17 you furnished Ms Royles supplement to certain

interrogatory responses and you provided us with documents

We have carefully reviewed the information you have provided Unfortunately MsRoyles supplementation and production did not address the majority of the deficiencies we noted

in our June letter In fact the materials provided to us on June 17 raise new set of concerns

as they indicate she possesses number of documents that still have not been provided and they

appear largely designed to expand the scope of her claims Moreover she has completely

refused to provide copies of her Twitter and Facebook accounts despite their obvious relevancy

to her Complaint

This letter supersedes our June letter and specifies the numerous deficiencies in the

responses you have provided to date Ms Royles continued failure to meaningfully meet her

discovery obligations is impeding the timely course of this litigation We therefore request that

Ms Royle provide all of the information requested in this letter by July 2011 to avoid the

need to inconvenience the Court with Motion to Compel

Plaintiffs Responses to WNSTs Interrogatories

The supplemental answers to interrogatories submitted with the June 17 production failed

to address nearly all of the issues we have previously raised Your clients responses to the

interrogatories therefore remain evasive and incomplete under Rule 2-432 as detailed below

Various references to unnamed individuals Various individuals alluded to in MsRoyles responses and who therefore are material witnesses to her Complaint remain

unidentified Furthermore Ms Royle has failed to provide the contact information for any of

these individuals as required by the interrogatories These references include

referenced in the response to Interrogatory NoThe unidentified other members of the local media referenced in the

The unidentified person who informed Ms Royle she had been referred to

response to this standard interrogatory asking her to identify individuals who may have

information relating to her Complaint She lists five non-parties by name but refuses to state the

substance of their testimony knowledge or information as the interrogatory required Further

Ms Royles response alludes to current and former colleagues of Defendants and other

members of the local media but does not identify those individuals by name nor does she

disclose the substance of their testimony knowledge or information Moreover in the June 17

production Ms Royle quotes portions of her e-mail exchange with Greg Bader PRDR000021-

000022 but fails to provide any information about him as required by Interrogatory

Interrogatory No It is entirely unclear whether the Exhibit referred to in this

response and provided to us on June 17 supersedes or supplements the previous Exhibit

provided on June These documents contain some overlap but are entirely different Further

several statements in each document remain in paraphrased form and do not provide sufficient

notice to the Defendants or the Court of the allegedly false and defamatory words The

statements which remain vague paraphrased or fail to state witness with personal knowledge

include but are not limited to

Ms Royle alleges that Glenn Clark just ripped her on the air on 8/5/2010 but

fails to specify the exact words which were allegedly said about her

PRDR000006Statements Ms Royle alleges Mr Clark made to Damon Yaffee during Ravens

practice regarding her credentials quotes some of the allegedly defamatory

statements but paraphrases the rest Ms Royle identifies her source as letter to

persons within the Ravens organization but failed to produce the letter

PRDR000007Ms Royle fails to identify witness with personal knowledge to exchanges

alleged between Ms Royle Mr Clark and Mr Forrester on 9/12/2010 In

addition Mr Royle fails to identify the Ravens PR staff with whom she alleges

Jon Gallo spoke with about Defendants conduct PRDR000007-000008

Ms Royle quotes statements allegedly made by CJ Spiller on his blog on

9/20/2010 but fails to produce the blog and instead states Blog no longer

available on website PRDR000008Dave Hughes allegedly answered question in his mailbag regarding whether

conflict of interest would arise if Ms Royle dated player on the team she covers

for MASN on 1/20/2011 PRDR0000I Ms Royle not only appears to want our

clients to defend statement that they did not make and appeared on someone

elses forum but she has not even specifically told us precisely what that

statement was

The substance of what Ms Royle alleges Mr Forrester told some reporters on

or about 6/11/2011 is not even paraphrased PRDR00002I-000022

Comments allegedly made by Mr Clark on his blog on or about September

2010 which Ms Royle quotes but fails to provide source PRDR000023On or around August 2010 Ms Royle alleges she heard Defendants

broadcast segment called Jen Midol on The Morning Reaction Ms Royle

fails to identify the source who told her about the segment nor does she provide

any supporting documentation regarding the Jen Midol segment Ms Royle also

fails to state witness with personal knowledge as to her alleged exchange with

Mr Aparicio later that day regarding the Jen Midol segment Moreover MsRoyle fails to provide any substantiation for the statements allegedly made by Mr

Aparicio on the air that Ms Royle was the biggest bitch he has ever met

PRDR000023

Interrogatory No Ms Royle ignored the request in our June letter that she resolve

the deficiencies with this response Thus Ms Royles response continues to incorporate her

response to the preceding interrogatory which asks an entirely different question Ms Royles

response fails to explain why she believes iiof the statements in her Exhibit no matter

which version were false when it was made as Interrogatory No requests In addition MsRoyle failed to update her response to Interrogatory No after adding more than 14 additional

statements in her revised Exhibit Ms Royle still only generally states that she has never lied

on her resume and has never purported to have credentials she does not have Moreover MsRoyles response still states that she has never been romantically involved with Nick Swisher or

Brian Matusz but her Complaint generally alleges statements that she has had personal sexual

and/or inappropriate relationships with professional athletes Complaint 27 Therefore MsRoyle must respond to the interrogatory as to all professional athletes as we asked and as her

Complaint alleges and not limit her response to Mr Swisher and Mr .Matusz

Interrogatory No Ms Royle ignored the request in our June letter that she resolve

the deficiencies with this response Ms Royle still generically refers to conversations

correspondence and telephone conversations with unnamed individuals and in addition to

failing to provide their names and contact information fails to state the date of the

communications or the substance of the communications as the interrogatory requests Ms

Interrogatory No which provides none of the information sought in Interrogatory No

regarding Ms Royles complete factual basis for her assertion that the Defendants knew

statements were false subjectively entertained doubts as to the truth or falsity of statements or

published them with high degree of awareness as to their probable falsity

Interrogatory No Ms Royle ignored the request in our June letter that she resolve

the deficiencies with this response Ms Royles response directs us to her response to

Interrogatory No which provides none of the information sought in Interrogatory No

regarding the complete factual basis for Ms Royles allegation that Defendants acted with

common law malice ill will or spite

Interrogatory No 11 While Ms Royle provides medical records from Dr Goldiner and

Dr Paolino she has provided no records from Dr Liebman whom she identified as receiving

continuing provider in Interrogatory Nos 11 and 15

Interrogatory No 12 Ms Royles amended answer to Interrogatory No 12 continues to

be non-responsive and inappropriately vague referring Defendants to unidentified documents in

lieu of answering the interrogatory regarding whether Ms Royle has any damages other than

those identified in the other referenced interrogatory responses Specifically Ms Royles

response violates Rule 2-421c because it fails to specify the records from which the answer

may be derived or ascertained

Interrogatory No 15 Ms Royle ignored the request in our June letter that she resolve

the deficiencies with this response Ms Royle responds with the names of two doctors and lists

no other medical professionals with whom she has ever visited concerning her mental and/or

emotional health in her lifetime as the interrogatory required Ms Royles pre-existing mental

health condition is clearly relevant to the allegations of her Complaint

Interrogatory No 16 Ms Royle ignored the request in our June letter that she resolve

the deficiencies with this response Ms Royle objects to this interrogatory which requests

correspondence with members of the public about her work in Baltimore without stating

whether any documents or communications exist that are responsive to the question Obviously

Ms Royles reputation is clearly relevant to the allegations of her Complaint and the

interrogatory requests information on that issue

Interrogatory No 19 Ms Royle ignored most of the request in our June letter that she

resolve the deficiencies with this response Ms Royles response fails to provide any

Page 120: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

Page

infonnation about her reason for leaving each place of employment as the interrogatory

required

Interrogatory Nos 21 and 22 Ms Royle ignored the request in our June letter that she

resolve the deficiencies with this response Beyond her boilerplate objections Ms Royle

provided no information citing relevancy grounds Ms Royles Complaint at 27 alleges that

the Defendants made false statements that she had personal sexual and/or inappropriate

relationships with professional athletes Defendants therefore are entitled to the information

requested in Interrogatory No 21 about any former or current professional athlete with which

Ms Royle has ever had personal sexual and/or inappropriate relationship as well as the

information requested in Interrogatory No 22 for information about any intimate romantic or

sexual relations of any nature she has ever had with any former or current professional athlete

This information is directly relevant to the allegations of her Complaint

Plaintiffs Responses to WNSTs Document Requests

Ms Royles written responses continue to be evasive and incomplete under Rule 2-432

and her production of documents remains wholly inadequate due to the following deficiencies

Continued Failure to Provide Privilege Log As we have noted and as you and

discussed during our June 15 call Ms Royle objects to providing certain documents on the basis

of privilege without concurrently submitting privilege log as required under Maryland law

Without privilege log Defendants and the Court are unable to determine what specific

documents are being withheld and whether or not Ms Royles objections are appropriate

Moreover during our June 15 telephone conference you agreed to furnish privilege log for

these documents You did not do so in the June 17 production

Document Reqpest No In Ms Royles revised Exhibit furnished with the June 17

production she directly quotes statements either allegedly made by the Defendants or referring

to the Defendants Ms Royle has not produced single document evidencing these statements

Further for number of the entries listed in the revised Exhibit Ms Royle refers to

document from which she has quoted but does not provide the documents themselves even

though clearly they are in her possession For example statements quoted for which no

supporting documentation has been provided include but are not limited to

All references to Tweets throughout PRDR000001-000023

personal tweet from Mr Forrester that Ms Royle quotes but fails to substantiate

with documentation stating only that it is No longer available on twitter footnote 13

PRDR000020

three-page document seems to list series of Tweets between Ms Royle and the

Defendants but Ms Royle has failed to produce of her Tweets PRDR000099-

000101 Ms Royle also refers to emails and other communications in this document

but fails to provide them as well

Document Request No Ms Royle ignored the request in our June letter that she

resolve the deficiencies with this response She has provided no documents between her and

any of the Defendants and as we already noted contrary to her objection all such

communications are not within the Defendants possession custody and control As to any

communications she sent via Twitter they are no longer accessible by the public on the Internet

Ms Royle however controls her Twitter account and can easily obtain complete file of her

Twitter communications including those that she directed at our clients account @WNSTGiven the relevancy of these communications to her Complaint Ms Royle is obligated to

retrieve the Twitter communications and provide copy to us

Document Request No Ms Royle ignored the request in our June letter that she

resolve the deficiencies with this response Contrary to her objection communications between

Ms Royle and third parties about her lawsuit are not within the Defendants possession custody

or control Further the request is not overly burdensome To the contrary it is confined to the

time period relevant to this litigation Ms Royle makes at least two references to text messages

and c-mails which she failed to produce in an unidentified three-page document she produced

on June 17 PRDR000099-000101 Moreover in Ms Royles revised Exhibit she quotes

written communications between her and third parties regarding Defendants but nevertheless

fails to produce them including but not limited to

Letters PRDR000007B-mails PRDR00002I-000023 PRDR000099Text messages footnote 11 PRDR0000 18 PRDR000099

Document Request Nos 21 22 23 and 26 Ms Royles document production

fails to adequately respond to these requests as Ms Royle has yet to produce all documents

supporting her allegations that these statements were in fact made The Plaintiff is required to

provide the Defendants and the Court in litigation of this nature with the precise words that are

allegedly false and defamatory Ms Royle fails to meet her obligations in discovery by

We have even furnished you in our Document Request No with the simple directions Ms Royle needs to

follow to retrieve her Twitter account history You may obtain this information by sending written request to

Twitter by fax to 415-222-9958 signed by you together with copy of valid government-issued identification

card Twitter will then send you confirmation to the email address they have for you on file which will authorize

Twitter to release to you the requested information Our clients followed these instructions to respond to your

clients document request

continuing to rely on characterizations of statements in Exhibit rather than providing the

statements themselves for statements including but not limited to

Statements allegedly made on 8/5/2010 by Mr Clark which Ms Royle claims are on

Defendants website PRDR000006-000007 We are unable to find the statements

she references We therefore request that you locate and provide us with copy

Statements allegedly made by CJ Spiller on 9/20/2010 which Ms Royle claims are on

Defendants website PRDR000008 We are unable to find the statements she

references We therefore request that you locate and provide us with copy

The text message that alerted Ms Royle to statements Mr Aparicio made about her

on 2/22/2011 PRDR0000I8

personal tweet from Mr Forrester to Ms Royle on 5/4/2011 PRDR00002O Weare unable to find the statement she references We therefore request that you locate

and provide us with copy

Document Request Nos and 34 Ms Royle ignored the request in our June letter

that she resolve the deficiencies with this response Rather than producing Ms Royles own

Tweets she instead provides Tweets sent by others PRDR0001O2-000224 Not only are these

Tweets entirely non-responsive to the requests but they are restricted to the last few weeks of

June 2011 and not the timeframe referenced in your clients Complaint Ms Royle therefore has

flatly reftised to produce any documents relevant to her activities on Twitter Ms Royles

statement in her response to Request No that she uses Twitter daily pursuant to her

professional duties does not relieve her of her obligations in discovery to provide her account

history

Document Request Nos through 14 Ms Royle ignored the request in our June letter

that she resolve the deficiencies with this response Ms Royle still broadly objects on the basis

of the Maryland Shield Law but falls to assert whether such documents exist and if they do MsRoyle falls to submit privilege log consistent with the instructions and Maryland law Without

such Defendants and the court are unable to evaluate the sufficiency of any asserted privilege

Moreover Ms Royles answer to Interrogatory No states that she prepared correspondence to

the Baltimore Ravens organization that relates solely to an incident raised by her lawsuit which

clearly would not fall within the protections of the Maryland Shield Law

Document Request No 32 Ms Royle ignored the request in our June letter that she

resolve the deficiencies with this response Contrary to her assertion all communications

between her and members of the public are not within the Defendants possession custody and

control Obviously Ms Royles reputation is clearly relevant to the allegations of her

Complaint and the request seeks documents related to that issue

Document Request No 33 Ms Royle ignored the request in our June letter that she

resolve the deficiencies with this response She has failed to produce the requested information

from her Facebook page despite your assurance during our June 15 2011 telephone conference

that you would produce information from her professional Facebook accounts Like Twitter

Page 123: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

Mr Brian Goodman EsqJune 27 2011

Page

Facebook provides an easy cost-free and non-burdensome method to access all information on

Ms Royles account including to status updates email messages photos listing of friends etc.2

We must have Ms Royles complete supplemental responses to the interrogatories and

all documents and other information we have requested by no later than July 2011 to avoid

our having to inconvenience the judge with motion practice

am happy to discuss this with you by telephone and will email you some suggested

times for call But we need to adhere to the July timeframe in order to move this matter

forward

Very truly yours

Re Jennter Royle NASTY 1570 Sports LLC et

Maryland Circuit Court for Baltimore City Case No 24C 11001571

Dear Mr Goodman

We send this letter pursuant to Rule 1-341 which prohibits litigants from maintaining

proceeding in bad faith or without substantial justification and provides for the Court to award

the reasonable expenses including reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the adverse party

This letter follows our telephone conversation of June 15 2011 in which asked you to narrow

your clients claims to prevent the proliferation of this litigation through allegations about

statements that do not fit within the torts that remain in the Complaint

As you are aware the Court at the June 2011 hearing dismissed your clients cause of

action for intentional infliction of emotional distress Count IV With your concession that the

Plaintiff also inappropriately included the count in her Complaint the Court dismissed her claim

for invasion of privacy by publication of private facts Count II as well The dismissal of these

claims leaves two specific causes of action remaining in this lawsuit defamation and false light

invasion of privacy Counts and III

As you thrther rare aware the defamation and false light torts each requires that the

Plaintiff plead and prove among other elements false statement of fact Alleged statements

that are not fact and that are not capable of being proved true are false are not actionable

under these torts

raised this issue with you in our June 15 telephone conversation where we discussed

your clients initial deficient discovery responses Your clients Complaint as best we can tell

includes 12 allegedly actionable statements Since the Court dismissed all claims but defamation

and false light the number of allegedly actionable statements should have decreased following

the June hearing Nevertheless in the initial discovery responses you served your client

increased the number of allegedly actionable statements and listed total of 29 statements

Page 126: Defendant Wnst's Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Respond

Mr Brian Goodman Esq

June 27 2011

Page

During our telephone conversation on June 15 asked you to reconsider the statements and

narrow Ms Royles Complaint to only those statements that arguably would fit within

defamation or false light causes of action You advised that the Plaintiff would do this

Following that discussion on June 17 you served supplemental interrogatory responses

and produced documents to us Included in those documents is an entirely new list contained in

PRDR000001-23 and PRDR000099-lOl which as we understand it supersedes the previous list

of allegedly actionable statements that you provided on June At this juncture Ms Royles

claim now includes at least 50 separate allegedly actionable statements To name just two

examples Ms Royle lists phrases such as those referring to her as apologist of the morning

see e.g PRDR000002 and others analogizher to character on the Jersey Shore because

she is disaster PRDR000005 Neither of these statements even arguably contains an

assertion of fact or is capable of being proved true or false These are among dozens of

statements that simply are not actionable as defamation or false light invasion of privacy

Ms Royle and you appear determined to make her allegations as broad as possible to

squander our resources and the Courts in derogation to the obligations under the Rules Webelieve these extraneous allegations have been made vexatiously solely

for purposes of

harassment or unreasonable delay in an effort to drive up costs and cause otherwise unnecessary

proceedings We therefore insist that by July 2011 you withdraw the list of allegedly

actionable statements provided in discovery and that you instead provide us with discrete

narrow list of those statements you contend are actionable as defamation or false light

portrayal so that we may efficiently proceed with discovery under an appropriately defined

claim

We send this letter in an effort to resolve this dispute prior to the filing of motion under

Rule 1-341 and other applicable rules This letter in no way waives your clients discovery

obligations or our clients rights and remedies

Very truly yours

and ambiguous as well as unduly burdensome as it seeks for Plaintiff to identify all

persons with personal knowledge of the facts relevant to the issues in the case even if

she has no knowledge of their existence For that reason the interrogatory is

objectionable as it calls for speculation and conjecture and is not reasonably calculated

to lead to admissible evidence Without waiving and subject to said objections Plaintiff

Clark were witnesses to series of statements made in conversation between them

made earlier that day by Mr Clark was crossing the line and extremely

unprofessional Concurrently with these statements Mr Forrester walked by and yelled

teams and he further insinuates that she is interested in Yankees outfielder Nick

Baltimore sports teams And because she isnt well known here passed

questions was this If you could ever have handsome man take you out on

Best example of local sports radio talk-show host bashing the very

successflil marketing efforts of one of his employers sponsors WNSTSDrew Forrester completely ripping the Maryland Jockey Clubs Preakness

Preak On slogan Preakness had about 100000 in attendance once again in

2010 so the slogan worked wouldnt have stooped to this level by posting

this however Your negative comments on here about Jen Royle reminded

me of how unprofessional you are at times My question is this. .Who are

you to criticize new young talent in town trying to learn the ropes

Perhaps she did make few blunders upon anival dont know just going

by what youre saying but she at least deserves few breaks while she is

getting comfortable in her new surroundings You on the other hand have

been here for long time and it seems you have no problem bashing

Baltimore traditions such as the 0s and Marylands largest sporting event

up for the new kid in town

So she literally stood around bunch of other Baltimore reporters and

openly talked about how much she hated Baltimore Did that really happenIf so thats got to be the weirdest thing Ive ever heard

It is interesting to note that she had that much of an affect on you that you

were inclined to include specific section in your 2010 review to call her

out unprovoked Interesting indeed DF Anyone who is critical of

Baltimore has an affect on me Im from Baltimore

Al Says

January 26th 2011 at 848 amHow embarrassed should Baltimore Magazine be for promoting certain

sports personality as one of Baltimores most eligible singles Shouldnt

the criteria be that Baltimore singles should actually be from Baltimore or an

active member of the Baltimore communitySecond question When said Baltimore single commented how all her

friends and back tracked to include all from out of state agreed how

horrible her magazine picture is shouldnt Baltimore Magazine offer up the

community retraction of their mistake to add her

Perhaps they shouldve waited until the spring travel issue to highlight all of

the tourist sites in and around town

DE This is question better suited for Baltimore Magazine and their

selection committee My guess is as long as you WORK in Baltimore

youre eligible havent seen the other sexy singles so dont know how

our girl got in but too bad the magazine didnt have scratch and sniff

sticker .ifyou know what mean Thats her best attribute by far

Drew Have you ever actually met and talked with Jen Royal or do you

disrespect her on the air because shes female and according to you

always smells really nice which is your way of saying she doesnt know

sports but because she smells nice she has ajob She probably doesnt give

you the time of day and thats why you dont like her DF Youre funny

but Ill humor you more Ive talked to Jen Royle on several occasions Each

time shes been condescending snarky unfriendly and snobby think she

knows sports Ive NEVER once said she didnt know sports What Ive said

is that she doesnt know BALTIMORE And because of that she has no

historical perspective at all on the Orioles and Ravens My remarks about

how great she smells. .those are COMPLIMENTS She always smells great

Youd have to ask her why she insists on smelling that great around bunch

of athletes Thats not for me to decide But she always smells like winner

some money out of us Win or lose the attorney fees and my time spent

dealing with this nonsense will certainly be draining my piggy bank so Imloser beginning today no matter the outcome of this frivolous case

world who gave me advice to settle lawsuit that didnt have any merit

and somehow admit guilt where there is none

Ive been doing this for 27 years as professional locally nationally and

on the internet We dont spread rumors We dont gossip We dont lie And

were unabashedly able to own up to ANYTHING we officially report via

any of our media properties at WNST.net

But were also not strangers to pointing out that our product is the best in the

marketplace every day and telling ou why and proving it every day with

our passion industriousness and accountability If we dont tell you how

good we are we certainly dont expect our competition to do it

And when our competitors bring inferior out-of-town talent into the

marketplace were going to point it out

Especially when any media member would be so brazen about loving the

Yankees and Red Sox and so openly disrespectffil to the community theyre

serving the community that is literally feeding them

No one at WNST.net has ever written or said what these allegations suggest

Not even close

We said Jennifer Royle doesnt know as much about Baltimore sports as we

do

We said shes lacking information and professionalism which if youvefollowed her on Twitter youd see why weve come to that conclusion
