PRELIMINARY STATEMENT AND GENERAL OBJECTIONS

 

Plaintiffs’ responses herein to Margolin’s First Set of Interrogatories (the “Responses”) are subject to the following general objections (the “General Objections”). The General Objections may be specifically referred to in the Responses for the purpose of clarity. The failure to specifically incorporate a General Objection, however, should not be construed as a waiver of the General Objections.

 

1. Nothing herein shall be construed as an admission or waiver by Plaintiffs of: (a) their rights respecting admissibility, competency, relevance, privilege, materiality, and authenticity of any information provided in the Responses, any documents identified therein, or the subject matter thereof; (b) their objection due to vagueness, ambiguity, or undue burden; and (c) their rights to object to the use of any information provided in the Responses, any document

 

Page 2 of 17

 

 

identified therein, or the subject matter contained in the Responses during a subsequent proceeding, including the trial of this or any other action.

 

2. The Responses are made solely for the purposes of, and in relation to, this litigation.

 

3. Plaintiffs object to the Interrogatories to the extent they seek documents and information protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or seeks the work product of counsel.

 

4. Plaintiffs have not completed: (a) their investigation of facts, witnesses, or documents relating to this case, (b) discovery in this action, (c) their analysis of available data, and (d) their preparations for trial. Thus, although a good faith effort has been made to supply pertinent information where the same has been requested, it is not possible in some instances for unqualified Responses to be made to the Discovery Requests. Further, the Responses are necessarily made without prejudice to Plaintiffs’ right to produce evidence of subsequently discovered fact, witnesses, or documents, as well as any new theories or contentions that Plaintiffs may adopt. The Responses are further given without prejudice to Plaintiffs’ right to provide information concerning facts, witnesses, or documents omitted by the Responses as a

result of oversight, inadvertence, good faith error, or mistake. Plaintiffs have responded to the Interrogatories based on information that is presently available to them and to the best of their knowledge to date. The Responses may include hearsay and other forms of evidence that may be neither reliable nor admissible.

 

Without waiving their General Objections, Plaintiffs respond to the Interrogatories as follows:

In addition to the General Objections, Plaintiffs further object to this Interrogatory on the grounds that it exceeds the limit under Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(a)(1) for number of Interrogatories that may be propounded without leave.

 

Without waiving any objections, Plaintiffs respond: Margolin acquired no more than what Zandian held at the time of the execution sales, which was one-third (1/3) undivided interest in the parcels of raw land that the subject of this Adversary Proceeding, and therefore Margolin may claim, at most, a tenancy-in-common interest with the Plaintiffs as to the parcels he executed upon and sold to himself. Plaintiffs is not now, nor ever has been, a party to the underlying action by which Margolin obtained his Default Judgment against Zandian, which provides the authority underlying his execution sales against Zandian’s interest. Plaintiffs has

 

Page 8 of 17

 


 

never transferred any interest in the subject parcels to Zandian. Plaintiffs are not joint tenants with the Zandian.

 

In addition, Margolin failed to record an affidavit required for a proper judgment abstract under NRS 17.150(4) and failed to otherwise include information required under that statute as part of his Default Judgment. Thus, Margolin never had a valid judgment lien against any of the affected parcels before the execution sales.

 

The proof of these facts is a matter of public record and not subject to reasonable dispute. See also documents bates-stamped WFZ1 to WFZ2598 served with Plaintiffs’ Initial Disclosures and supplements thereto. Investigation is continuing and this Response will be supplemented if and when appropriate.
