`SUPERIOR COURT
`
`JUDICIAL DISTRICT
`OF WATERBURY
`
`AT WATERBURY
`
`JUNE 28, 2019
`
`DEFENDANT CITY OF WATERBURY’S OBJECTION TO PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO
`SERVE ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY
`
`
`
`The Defendant, the City of Waterbury (the City”), respectfully submits this
`
`Objection to the Plaintiffs’ motion for permission to serve additional discovery requests.
`
`See Doc. 134.00. The Plaintiffs seek copies of any contracts between the City and any
`
`of its co-Defendants, as well as any addenda to said contracts. Such documents have
`
`no bearing on any claim asserted by the Plaintiff in this personal injury case, especially
`
`because the requests are not limited to the contract that forms the basis for the City’s
`
`claims of contractual indemnification and breach of contract against co-Defendant Kids
`
`Town, LLC.
`
`
`
`The Plaintiffs make the summary assertion that “[a]ny such contracts would
`
`certainly be material and relevant as to the plaintiff’s negligence and recklessness
`
`claims against the defendant, City of Waterbury.” See id. The City submits, to the
`
`contrary, that any such contracts are relevant, if at all, only to the City’s cross-claims
`
`against co-Defendant Kids Town, LLC, and not to any claim asserted by the Plaintiffs.
`
`In the absence of any explanation for why such documents would be reasonably
`
`calculated to lead to the discovery of evidence relevant to any of the Plaintiffs’ claims,
`
`the City submits that the Plaintiffs’ requests to serve additional discovery should be
`
`denied.
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`WHEREFORE, the City respectfully requests that the Plaintiffs’ motion be
`
`denied.
