`RESPONSE TO RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADMISSION NO. 1530
`

`
`the CAD drawing produced as CAT0055043 is a representation of the features present in the
`
`PM620 as of the date of creation of the CAD file. Respondents otherwise deny this request.

`REQUEST FOR ADMISSION NO. 1531:
`
`Admit that the CAD drawing produced as CAT0055043 accurately reflects the Features-
`

`the United States on or before December 31, 2017.
`
`RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADMISSION NO. 1531:
`
`Respondents incorporate their General Statements and Objections by reference.
`
`Respondents specifically object to this Request as overly broad, vague, and ambiguous based on
`
`Wirtgen’s use of the term “accurately reflects.” Respondents also object to this request as vague
`
`and ambiguous, at least to the extent that the term “included within” is unclear and has not been
`
`defined by Wirtgen.
