OBJECTIONS TO DISCOVERY Defendant objects to Plaintiffs' Interrogatories, Requests for Production, and Request loi Admission in its entirety because it was served in a direct contravention of standing oidci number 1 for asbestos litigation in the district courts and county Courts at Law of HI Paso County, Texas. Standing order number 1 prohibits such discovery requests from being served and responses being required without leave of court after hearing. See II, paragraph 14 of standing order number 1. Defendant objects to the whole of Plaintiffs' discovery requests as so overly broad and unduly burdensome that Plaintiffs' discovery constitutes harassment. This suit involves a person employed by a finite number of employers at a finite number of locations during specific years. Plaintiffs' claim is that the injured party was exposed to asbestos containing products on Defendant's premises during the course and scope of his employment with known employers. Plaintiffs should be seeking production of records and information relevant to issues raised by that particular fact situation Plaintiffs' attempts to expand discovery to include information regarding irrelevant time periods and irrelevant materials produced at irrelevant locations by irrelevant persons or entities constitutes an impermissible abuse of the discovery rules and general misuse of the laws oi the State of Texas. B. OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFFS' DEFINITIONS Defendant objects to Plaintiffs' definitions of the terms "Defendant", "you", and "yours", and "your company". To the extent the terms could be read to refer to Defendant's attorneys, any interrogatory or requests for production utilizing any of these terms necessarily invades the work product and/or attorney-client privileges embodied in Rule 192.5 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure and Rule 503 of the Texas Rules of Evidence. To the extent the terms are intended to include predecessors, divisions, subsidiaries, forms of subsidiaries, forms of subsidiaries of predecessors, and/or affiliates, as well as present and former officers, directors, agents, employees and other persons acting or purporting to act on behalf of the corporate Defendant, any interrogatory or requests for production utilizing these terms is so overly broad and over burdensome as to make any requests utilizing the term virtually impossible to answer. Further, to the extent the definition is intended to include any merged, consolidated, or acquired predecessors, divisions, subsidiaries, forms of subsidiaries, forms of subsidiaries of predecessors, and, or affiliates any interrogatory or requests for production utilizing any of these terms is necessarilv overly broad, unduly burdensome, and calls for material which is neithei relevant noi reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence Defendant fm the: objects to Plaintiffs' apparent attempt to place upon Defendant the burden to seek information from former officers, directors, agents and employees over whom Defendant no longer has dominion or control. Any interrogatory or requests utilizing any of these terms is a "fishing expedition" in violation of Texas law as concerns discovery. 2. Defendant objects to Plaintiffs' definition of the terms "document", "documents", "written materials", or "printed materials" as the definition of those terms renders any requests utilizing any of these terms overly broad, unduly burdensome, harassing, and reduces any such discovery requests to a "fishing expedition" in discovery Defendant further objects to the definition of these terms as calling for the production of material or information which is not relevant nor reasonably calculated to lead to the disco\er\ of admissible evidence. Defendant further objects to the definition of these terms to the e\tent u purports to include an obligation to locate and produce information or documentation which is no longer in the possession or control of this Defendant or from entities who me not parties to this cause of action, 3. Defendant objects to Plaintiff s definition of the words "meeting" or "meetings" as any interrogatory or request for production utilizing those terms is overly broad, and over burdensome in that it purports to require documentation or information concerning any casual or coincidental meeting. 4. Defendant objects to Plaintiffs definition of the terms "describe" or "description" as it is vague, ambiguous and requires Defendant to speculate on what identification rises to the level of sufficient particularity so as to enable one to "fully comprehend" or understand the place, thing or occurrence described. 5. Defendant objects to the stated definition of the terms "products containing asbestos fiber", "asbestos containing products" and "asbestos products" on the grounds it is o\erl\ broad, vague and not limited to the matters made the basis of this lawsuit and therefore, seeks disclosure of information and/or the production of documentation wholh irrele\ am to any material issue in this case and not reasonably calculated to lead to the disco\ei\ m admissible evidence. 6. Defendant objects to Plaintiffs definition of the term "medical ad\ isor\ capacity" in that the definition renders any interrogatory or request for production utilizing the term overl\ broad. o\er burdensome, harassing and calling for information or material which is neither relevant or reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. The definition of the term utilizes the term "Defendant" which is, itself, defined in Plaintiffs definition No. 1. Please refer to Defendant's objection to Plaintiffs definition of the term "Defendant" which is incorporated herein the same as if fully set forth at length. 7. Defendant objects to Plaintiffs definition of the terms "medical department" and "safety department" in that the definition renders any interrogatory or request for production utilizing the term overly broad, over burdensome, harassing and calling for information or material which is neither relevant or reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. The definition of the term utilizes the term "Defendant" which is, itself, defined in Plaintiffs definition No. 1. Please refer to Defendant's objection to Plaintiffs definition of the term "Defendant" which is incorporated herein the same as if fully set forth at length 8. Defendant objects to Plaintiffs definition of the terms "potential health hazards" or "health hazards" in that any interrogator or request for production utilizing these terms is wigue and ambiguous in that issues exists and minds differ with respect to impairments or disabilities and their associations with exposures to asbestos dust and fibers, if any. 9. Defendant objects to Plaintiffs' definition of the term "years at issue" as the definition assumes that Plaintiff worked on the premises of Defendant for the entire period reflected in the definition, which is denied.
