M OTJ-ON TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF DOCUM ENTS ANDELECTRONICALLY STORED INFORM ATIONS
Pursuant to Rule Rule 3.384a) of the Commission's Rule of Practice, 16 C.F.R.3.38(a),M ovant respectfully move for an order compelling Defendants DismasCharities,lnc., Ana Gispert Derek Thomas and Lashanda Adams to produce
documents and electronically stored information, as requested by Movant's documentrequests. The grounds for thls motion are set forth below:
1. BACKGROUND
1. On July 25, 201 1, M ovant propounded ,on the Defendants, his First Request For
Production Of Documents And Electronically Stored lnformations. ( Exhibit A). OnAugust 24, 201 1, M ovant propounded its First Set of lnterrogatories To Defendants
(Exhibit B). On August 26, 201 1, Movant has received a response from theDefendants (Exhibit C).
2. Defendants have failed to produce any documents in response to M ovant's requestfor the Production Of Documents . Refusal to provide any responses to the
documentary requests was based upon an assertion that it would be prohibited by the
Federal Bttreau Of Prisons (Exhibit C). (Rule 37.01 For the purposes of this l'ule anevasive or incomplete answer is to be treated as a failtlre to answer.)
3. Defendants' representation regarding the release of the documents is a gross
exaggeration of the facts, and represents an attempt to hide Defendants' failure todisclose the responsive information. Information requested by the Plaintif are not
deemed to be Confidential, Secret or Classified Documents, and the Defendants
represent a Private Not For Profit Corporation.
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 53 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/30/2011 Page 1 of 44
M ities that on August 5t1'' 201 l 4:00 PM M r. David S. Chaiet4. The ovant cert , , ,Attorney for the Defendants, telephoned the M ovant and stated that a11 Discovery
request will not be meet, due to the fact that release of such documents andinformation are prohibited by the Department Of Justice. Federal Bureau of Prisons.
5. Defendants have a histoly of similar incidents, and they will cover up a1l
incriminating facts at any price. Responding to the Request For Production OfDocuments and Electronically Stored lnformations, would mean acceptance of guilt
on the part of the Defendants, and will reveal a long history of abuse at a1l Dismas
Charities Houses.
6. To excuse themselves for the failure to produce these documents, Defendants have
enumerated in their Objections, harassment, prepayment of cost and ajain therepetition of the previous statement, given on the telephone conversatlon, that
releasing of these documents is prohibited by the Federal Bureau Of Prisons.
ln this case, Defendants will have to demonstrate to the Court, which statements andrequest pertain to the Federal Bureau Of Prisons, and present a valid document from
the Federal Bureau Of Prisons to the Defendants, that forbids such releases.
7. M ovant will like to remind this Court, that at the time these acts have taken place,
he was in Community Custody and not in the Custody of the Federal Bureau OfPrisons. Dismas Charities is a private not for profit corporation that cannot speak in
the name of United States Federal Bureau Of prisons.
8. This Court has noticed that Attom ey for the tr efendants has appeared in the
picture late''. The reason for which the Attorney has appeared late is because
Defendats were trying to clean up after the Plaitiff was taken to FDC M iami, thusdestroying most of the evidence and incriminating documents, and they needed time.
9. lt should be noted that a11 of the Plaintiffs property was confiscated by the
Defendats and the Plaintiff was sent to FDC M iami without any documents or
personal belongings. This would also ensure that Plaintiff does not have any
incriminating docum ents, against Defendants, in his possession.
l0. Curiously enough, while the USPO has received a copy of the M otion For The
Rettzrn Of Propeo , in January 201 1, and the Clerk of Court has received a11documents on the Docket, during this period of time, Defendants claim that they havenever received any documents. This represents a gross underestimation of the United
States Postal Oftice and The Air M ail act signed in 1925.
lI. LEGAL STANDARD
The federal discovery rules are liberal in order to assist in the preparation for trial
and settlement of litigated disputes. See Bond v. Utreras, 585 F.3d 1061, 1075 (7thCir. 2009)., see also Kodish v. Oakbrook Terrace Fire Prot. Dist., 235 F.R.D. 447, 450(N.D. 111. 2006) Ctthe scope of discovery should be broad in order to aid in the searchfor truth''l.
2
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 53 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/30/2011 Page 2 of 44
'' Pre-trial discovery typically is ''accorded a broad and liberal treatment. . . . This
broad right of discovery is based on the general principle that litigants have a right to
every man's evidence and that wide access to relevant facts serves the integrity and
fairness of the judicial process by promoting the search for the trtlth.''Shoenv.Shoen,5F.3d1289,1292(9tn Cir. 1993)(interna1 quotations and citationsomitted).
A contention interrogatoly allows a plaintiff to leal'n the factual bases of the
opposing pao 's defense, see Prat't v. Tam 464 F.3d 730, 733 (7th Cir. 2006), and isnot objectionable if it asks for an opinion that relates to a fact or the application of alaw to fact. See Fed.R.CiV.P. 33(a)(2).
Commission Rule 3.3 l (c) (1) provides for ''discovery to the extent that it may bereasonably expected to yield information relevant to the allegations of the complaint,
to the proposed relief, or to the defenses of any respondent. . . . Information may not
be withheld from discovery on grounds that the infonnation will be inadmissible at
the hearing if the information sought appears reasonably calculated to lead to the
discovery of admissible evidence.'' 16 C.F.R. 3.3 1 (c) (1)
Plaintiff is entitled to discovery regarding any non-privileged matter thatis relevant to any party's claim or defense, including information that appears
reasonably calculated to lead to discoverable evidence. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b).
This Court has the authority to order sanctions if a party or its attorney ççfails to obey
a scheduling or other pretrial order.'' Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(9(C).
A. Cost-shifting or Sharinz is Improper.
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and applicable case law, hold that under
ordinary circumstances, a party should bear the expense of complying with discovery
requests. See Oppenheimer Fund, lnc. v. Sanders, 437 U.S. 340 (1978). Theresponding part.y may request the Court to enter a protective order related to undueburden or expense, including a request that discovery be conditioned upon t<cost
shifting.'' ld. at 358. Nevertheless, 6çgal court should consider cost shifting only whenelectronic data is relatively inaccessible, such as in back up tapes.'' Zubulake v.
U.B.S. Warburg LLC, 217 F.R.D. 309, 324 (S.D.N.Y. 2003).As noted by one District Court in the Sixth Circuit, Efgslhifting the costs ofextraordinary electronically stored information discovery efforts should not be used as
an alternative to sustaining a responding party's objection to undertaking such effortsin the first place.''
The request for M ovant to pay the entire production cost is improper and
fundamentally unfair. Movant should not be required to pay for the fault and (gross)negligence of the Defendants. Dismas Charities,lnc, Ana Gispert, Derek Thomas andLashanda Adams were not concerned enough with Plaintiffs' advanced medical
3
Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 53 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/30/2011 Page 3 of 44
!
conditions when they have committed these acts, and they try to humiliate and torture
the Movant, just because he is a foreigner, he spoke English with an accent, he was aGreek-M acedonian of Greek Orhodox religion, and he would refuse to subdue to the
Defendants torture.
W hile M ovant acknowledge there will be some cost to Defendant to produce these
documents, Defendants have no one to blame but themself for the costs to beincurred. Had Defendants taken reasonable steps to follow proper procedures, it may
not be necessary to produce these documents. As a further showing on why it would
be ftmdamentally unfair for M ovant to support costs, this case is costly enough for the
M ovant. It would be far more burdensome on the M ovand to incur the costs than the
Defendants, which touts revenues of M illions of Dollars per year, money taken from
the taxpayers.M ovant respectfully request the Court deny any request by Defendants to requireM ovant to pay the production costs.
111. CONCLUSION
For the reasons set forth above, M ovant respectfully requests this Court to issue the
attached order compelling the production of documents and things as requested in
Plaintiff First Request For Production Of Documents And Electronically Stored
lnfonnation, and/or to sanction the Defendants for their failure to comply with the
discovery requests. Further, based upon the above argument, it would be improper for
the Plaintiffs to bear any of the costs incurred in the production of these files. As
such, Defendants should be required to pay for the production of the responsive
documents.
W HEREFORE, Plaintiffs, would respectfully request that this Court order Defendants
Dismas Chalities,lnc., Ana GispertDerek Thomas and Lashanda Adams, within ten
(10) days to produce the files that are responsive to discovery requests submitted inthis cause, and that Defendants should be required to incur the cost of said
production.
