`Defendants.
`
`PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that the defendants, BAY PLAZA COMMUNITY

`CENTRE, LLC AND SP CENTER, LLC, by and through their attorneys, MALAPERO &
`
`PRISCO LLP, respond to the Court’s Order of November 24, 2015 which directed that defendants
`
`respond to plaintiffs “combined demands of June 17, 2012.” A review of defendants’ file confirms
`
`that “plaintiffs combined demands of June 17, 2012” does not exist. However, in a good faith
`
`effort
`
`to respond to this Court’s Order of November 24, 2015, defendants, BAY PLAZA
`
`COMMUNITY CENTRE, LLC AND SP CENTER, LLC, state upon information and belief as
`
`follows:
`
`RESERVATION OF RIGHTS:
`
`A.
`
`To the extent that defendant produces documents in response to said demands, they
`
`do so without conceding the materiality, authenticity, admissibility or relevance of
`
`any such documents, or of any substantive responses to demands.
`
`B.
`
`Defendant reserves all objections to the use of these responses and if any documents
`
`produced in connection herewith. Such obj ections may be interposed by responding
`
`defendants at any time, including at the time of trial or as otherwise required by the
`
`rules and orders of this Court.
`
`-1- (32-459)
`
`
`
`Defendant
`
`reserves the right
`
`to amend, supplement, modify or correct
`
`these
`
`responses, objections and production of documents, if any, as additional information
`
`and/or documents are identified and/or become available.
`
`Insofar as the inadvertent production of any documents by the defendants pursuant
`
`to the demands may be deemed a waiver of any privilege or right, such waiver shall
`
`be deemed to be a limited waiver solely with respect to that particular document.
`
`The inadvertent production of any document shall not be deemed or construed to
`
`constitute a waiver of any privilege,
`
`right or obligation of defendants, and
`
`defendants reserve the right to demand that such document and all copies thereof
`
`be returned to defendants.
`
`Defendant reserves the right to redact non—responsive material from many otherwise
`
`responsive documents that may be produced as part of defendants’ responses to the
`
`demands.
`
`GENERAL OBJECTIONS:
`
`Defendant objects to the demands to the extent
`
`that

`they seek information,
`
`documents or other materials that are neither relevant to the subject matter of the
`
`pending action nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible
`
`evidence.
`
`Defendant objects to the demands to the extent that they purport to seek information,
`
`documents or other materials protected by the attorney—client privilege, the work
`
`product doctrine or any other applicable privilege or immunity.

`Defendant objects to the demands to the extent that they purport to seek documents
`
`generated by or at the direction of their counsel.
`
`In responding to the demands,
`
`defendants will construe the demands as not requesting production of such
`
`documents.
`
`Defendant objects to the demands to the extent
`
`that
`
`they purport
`
`to require
`
`defendants to produce or to provide information or documents not within responding
`
`defendants’ possession, custody or control.
`
`Defendant objects to the demands to the extent that they do not incorporate time
`
`limitations.
`
`-2- (82-459)

`
`
`F.

`Defendant objects to the demands to the extent that they seek to impose obligations
`
`extended beyond those imposed or authorized by the CPLR of this Court.

`
`that
`
`they purport to demand
`
`information, documents or other materials created, dated or generated after the date
`
`of the complaint that this action was filed.
`
`H.
