    1 I. INTRODUCTION

    2 Dendant ASN Waer Center, LLC's motion to compel should be granted r a single,

    3 undeniable reason - the specic identities of current and rmer residents who have ctual

    4 inrmation relevant to this case is not attoey work product. Given that dendant seeks cts,

    5 like te names of percipient witnesses, that are separate om any observation, evaluation, legal

    6 research, strategy, or thought process of plaintifs counsel, the attoey work product privilege

    7 does not apply.

    8 In an efrt to sidestep this critical point, plainti argues that because her attorneys have

    9 interviewed these individuals, their identities are now somehow protected as conditional work

    10 product. But the attoey work product doctrine does not apply simply because inrmation is

    11 obtained by or transmitted to an attoey. Rather, the inrmation has to reect an attorney's

    12 analysis. The identities of current and rmer residents with inrmation relevant to this case is

    13 not "work product createdby plaintis counsel.

    14 In addition, inaccordance with the Court's suggestion om the November 1, 2013 hearing,

    15 dendant has served plainti with special interrogatories that ask her to identify persons who

    16 have knowledge of the cts upon which she bases her claims. Code of Civil Procedure Section

    17 2017(a) expressly authorizes the use of discovery r purposes of obtining the identity and

    18 location of persons having knowledge of any discoverable matter .... Cal. Civ.Proc.Code

    19 2017(a). Similarly, Calirnia case law has consistently held this inrmation to be broadly and

    20 routinely discoverable. Ci of Long Beach v. Superior Court (1976) 64 Cal.App.3d 65, 74 (citing

    21 numerous Caliia cases).

    22 Accordingly, the Court should order plainti to provide ctual responses specically

    23 identifying the names, current addresses and current telephone numbers of the current and rmer

    24 residents who she knows has inrmation relevant to this case.

    DEFENDANT IS ENTITLED TO KNOW THE IDENTITIES OF WITNESSES

    A. The Names, Current Addresses and Current Telephone Numbers of Currentand Former Residents with Relevant Inrmation is Not Attorney WorkProduct

    4 Plainti has the initial burden to demonstrate that the inrmation sought by dendant is

    5 atoey work product Fellows v. Superior Court (1980 ) 108 CalApp3d 55, 67("The party

    6 claiming the attoey's work-product priilege has the initial burden of establishing that the matter

    7 sought to be disclosed comes within the concept of an attoey's work product)Plainti argues

    8 that the identities of current and rmer residents is conditional work product because plaintifs

    9 counsel devoted signicant eort to track down potential witnesses and made a judgment as to

    10 whether to take their statement (See PsOppBrf, p 3, IL 3-5) But as Fellows instructs, "[a]n

    11 atoey's conditional' work product consists of material that is of a derivative or interpretative

    15 and that is vdy h does not constitute the attoey's work product d at 69.

    16 (Emphasis added) "Major categories of nonderivative evidentiary material excluded om the

    17 concept of an attoey's work product include ...m b v

    18 h h m, h mb, dd, d " d

    19 (Emphasis added); see also Ci of Long Beac 64 CalApp3d at 73 ("A list of persons with

    20 knowledge of the relevant cts is quite dierent in its eect; it does not, of itself, reveal the

    21 strategy of the attoey)It is precisely this type of witness inrmation that dendant is seeking

    22 to discover here Given that the names, current addresses and current telephone numbers of

    2 3 current and rmer residents with inrmation relevant to this case is not attoey work product,

    24 plaintifs resal to provide this inrmation is improper

    25 Plaintifs opposition, however, attempts to steer the Cour into believing that the identities

    26 of current and rmer residents are not discoverable because her counsel has interviewed these

    27 individuals Plainti ignores the ct that the work product doctrine does not apply simply

    28 because an attoey obtains or uncovers relevant ctual inrmation Ci of Long Beac 64

    1 Cal.pp.3d at 72 ("Inrmation regarding events provable at trial, or the identity and location of

    2 physical evidence, cannot be brought within the work product privilege simply by transmitting it

    3 to the attoey.); Smith v. Superior Court (1961) 189 Cal.App.2d 6, 12 ("Even if the names and

    4 addresses of the witnesses were known only to the attoeys, they would have to be disclosed on a

    5 proper interrogatory addressed to the party.). The mere ct that plainti interviewed some of the

    6 current and rmer residents does not mean that their identities (as evidentiary cts) are now

    7 somehow work product, regardless of the efr involved to identi these individuals as witnesses.

    8 Instead, as Felows and other cases illustrate, there is a clear distinction between attoey

    9 work product, which is derived om an attoey's impressions, thoughts, conclusions, opinions

    10 and legal research (i.e. "diagrams, charts, audit reports of books, papers, or records, and ndings,

    11 opinions and reports of experts employed by a attoey to analyze evidentiary material ), and

    12 evidentiary cts, like the names of percipient witnesses. Felows, 108 Cal.App.3d at 67-69; Ci

    13 of Long Beach, 6 4 Cal.App.3d at 7 3; Cal. Civ. Proc. Code 2018 (indicating that work product

    1 4 privilege only protects an attoey's impressions, thoughts, conclusions, opinions or legal

    15 research); Cal. Civ. Proc. Code 2017(a) ("Discovery may be obtained of the identity and

    16 location of persons having knowledge of any discoverable matter....").

    17 Citing Nacht & Lewis Architects, Inc. v. Superior Court (1996) 47 Cal.App.4th 21 4,

    18 plainti contends that fher responses identifying current and rmer residents with inrmation

    19 relevant to this case would violate work product protection by revealing who plainti interviewed.

    20 Plaintifs reliance on Nacht & Lewis Architects is misplaced, as the cts of this case are

    21 distinguishable. Nacht & Lewis Architects involved a direct request r a list of individuals who

    22 dendants' counsel interviewed. 47 Cal.App.4th at 216. Dendants objected on work product

    23 grounds and plainti led a motion to compel. Id at 217. In sustaining dendants' work product

    24 objection, the appellate court determined that the "[c]ompelled production of a list of potential

    25 witnesses interviewed by opposing counsel would necessarily reect counsel's evaluation of the

    26 case by revealing which witnesses or persons who claimed knowledge of the incident [already

    27 idented by defendants' response to form interrogatory No. ] counsel deemed impoant

    28 enough to interview. Id (Emphasis added.)

    Case 2:14-cv-03476-RGK-AJW Document 1-2 Filed 05/06/14 Page 17 of 113 Page ID #:52

    1 Unlike the discovery requests in Nacht & Lewis Architects dendant's Form Interrogatory

    2 12.1does not request the names of persons "who provided plainti with inrmation or "who

    3 plainti interviewed. Instead, it permissibly asks plainti to identi percipient witnesses with

    4 inrmation relevant to this case. Cal.Civ.Proc.Code 2 017(a )("Discovery may be obtained of

    5 the identity and location of persons having knowledge of any discoverable matter....").

    6 Plaintifs resal to provide this inrmation is inexplicable given that this exact same inrmation

    7 was, in ct, provided in Nacht & Lewis Architects in response to the very same Form

    8 Interrogatory 12. that plainti here reses to make complete. Plaintifs construction of Nacht

    9 & Lewis Architects would lead to the absurd result that any discoverable inrmation would

    10 somehow become protected work product simply by lling into the attoey's hands. This is not

    11 the law.

    12 Given that dendants Form Interrogatory 12.1seeks the identities of current and rmer

    13 residents who plainti understands has cts perinent to the claims and denses asserted in this

    14 lawsuit, this inrmation is clearly discoverable. As the case law makes abundantly clear, the

    15 identities of "prospective or potential witnesses is discoverable, ctual inrmation that is

    16 evidentiary in nature, and is not attoey work product.See e.g, Fellows, 108Cal.App.3d at 69.

    17 ccordingly, the Cour should order plainti to provide rther responses specically identifying

    18 the current and rmer residents who she knows has inrmation relevant to this case.1

    19 B " d v B ff dvd d

    2 0 Given that dendant relied on the standard denition of "incident, the Cour has raised

    2 1 the issue of whether the term "incident in Form Interrogatory 12.1covers only Vagles own

    2 2 tenancy or whether it is more broad. This denition does, in ct, cover plaintifs entire claim

    2 3 given that it is broadly dened by the Judicial Council of Calirnia as including "the

    2 4 circumstances and events surrounding the alleged accident, inju, or other occurrence or

    2 5 breach of contract giving rise to this action or proceeding. (Emphasis added.) It would be

    It is almost axiomatic that the names and addresses of witnesses is discoverable inrmation.Gonzalez v. Superior Court(19 9 5) 33Cal.App.4th 1539, 1546; Smith v. Superior Court(1961)189 Cal.App.2d 6, 11-12.

    1 nonsensical r judicially approved rm interrogatories to cover only a small action of

    2 plaintifs case.

    3 For Interrogatory 121 asks plainti to identi witnesses that she (either personally or

    4 through her counsel) knows to have knowledge of cts relevant to the case. Thus if plainti

    5 knows the identities of witnesses with relevant inrmation beyond the Waer Center apartment

    6 comunity such as current and rer residents at other apartment communities she has an

    obligation to provide their naes current addresses and current telephone numbers in response to

    8 Form Interrogatory 121 There is no signicant burden placed on plainti to provide inrmation

    9 that she already knows.

    10 In addition despite any extreely narrow interpretation of the term incident" plainti

    11 still has an obligation to identify current and rmer residents within her personal experience In

    12 this anner plainti specically alleges that aer her lease expired she spoke to individuals

    13 who also leased apartent units managed by Dendant Archstone all of who were charged r

    14 apartent cleaning and painting and carpet cleaning/replaceent at the end of their tenancies even

    15 though they le their apartment units clean and in the sae condition it was at the inception of

    16 their tenancies subject to reasonable wear and tear." (Third Amended Complaint i 22) Yet

    1 plainti reses to specically identify even these current or rmer residents who are clearly

    18 witnesses in the case.

    19 II. FORM INTERROGATORY 7.

    20 As raised in more detail in dendant's oving brief plaintifs response to For

    21 Interrogory 1 1 contains insufcient cts as to what plainti did to clean her apartment nd

    22 how she cleaned her apartent to be able to reach the conclusion that se le it in the same

    23 condition as it was in at the inception of her residency. Plainti has now agreed to supplement

    24 her response to For Inteogatory 11 as it relates to Requests r Adission Nos. 2, 3, 5, 6, ,

    25 8, 9, and 11 Given that plainti has not yet served this suppleental response dendant reserves

    26 the right to seek rther responses to this discovery request pending its receipt and revew of

    2 plaintis suppleental responses.
