REQUEST NO 1: All DOCUMENTS that RELATE to the Arenzano Trust.
Plaintiffs Response: Plaintiff objects to this request on the grounds that it is overly broad,
unduly burdensome and harassing and unlimited as to scope and time. Because plaintiff does not
control the trust, and is not entitled to any distribution from the trust, plaintiff further objects to
this request on the grounds that it seeks documents that are neither relevant nor reasonably
calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in this action. Plaintiff further objects to
this request on the grounds that it calls for the production of irrelevant documents that are
protected from disclosure by plaintiffs and third parties' Constitutionally protected right of
privacy_ Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it seeks documents that are
protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege andlor the attorney work-product
doctrine. Those documents include communications between plaintiff and his counsel, the trust -
and their counsel, and the beneficiaries and their counseL
Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections and limitations, Plaintiff responds
as follows: Plaintiff has no trust documents responsive to this request in his possession or control.
The trust is irrevocable and Plaintiff has no control or fmancial interest in it. The trust was set up
over 14 years ago, well prior to defendant's judgment. Trust documents are believed by plaintiff to
be in the possession and control of the attorney and Trustee, Joseph J. Praske, however, the
18 requested documents are irrelevant to the propounding parties' judgment collection efforts and are
19 otherwise subject to the privileges and privacy rights set forth above.

administration and disposition of Plaintiffs property, owned by plaintiff at any time in any
capacity, before or after death including will, trust, gifts, or power of attorney, or any other
method of estate planning and further refers to the transfer of any assets owned by Plaintiff at any
time to any PERSON or ENTITY collectively on the ground that such an expansive group of
definitions imposes a burden greater than what is required by the California Rules of Civil
Procedure and makes the requests overly broad, unduly burdensome, oppressive, harassing andlor
not otherwise reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of evidence relevant to the inquiry

California Rules of Civil Procedure, (2) KPC is only entitled to request information about Mr.
Gaggero's current assets, and (3) the request is not limited to scope and time. The notion that
KPC is limited to information about Mr. Gaggero's current assets is erroneous and contrary to
well-settled authority relating to a judgment debtors scope of inquiry. KPC is entitled to any
document that will aid in their enforcement efforts including trust documents dating 20 years ago,
if necessary. Mr. Gaggero cannot withhold any documents on this basis for any ofKPC's requests.
While the request appears broad this is due to Mr. Gaggero's conduct in establishing a complex
scheme involving numerous entities, trusts, and foundations. Mr. Gaggero cannot now use this as
a defense to responding to relevant post- judgment discovery requests,
Mr. Gaggero also objects on the basis of his and third parties Constitutional right to
privacy, attorney-client, and attorney-work product privilege. It is well settled that the right of
privacy is not absolute and may be abridged to accommodate a compelling public interest.

Reasons to Compel Production: Mr. Gaggero refuses to produce documents because (1)
defmition of "Estate Plan" is overly broad and imposes greater burden than required by California
Rules of Civil Procedure (2) KPC is only entitled to request information about Gaggero's current
assets, and (3) the request is not limited to scope and time. According to the testimony of Mr.
Gaggero and his estate planning attorney, Mr. Praske, in Gaggero v. Yura, Los Angeles Superior
Court (Case No BC239810) Mr. Gaggero's "estate plan" implemented an estate plan comprised of
multiple partnerships, multiple corporations, and multiple trusts or foundations. The Estate Plan is
clearly defmed in KPC's requests and includes the estate plan Mr. Gaggero described in his
testimony. Vhile the request appears broad this is due to l1r. Gaggero's conduct in establishing a
complex scheme involving numerous entities, trusts, and foundations. Mr. Gaggero cannot now
use this as a defense to responding to relevant post- judgment discovery requests. Moreover, the
notion that KPC is limited to information about Mr. Gaggero's current assets is erroneous and
contrary to well-settled authority relating to a judgment debtors scope of inquiry.
Mr. Gaggero also objects on the basis of his and third parties Constitutional right to
privacy, attorney-client, and attorney-work product privilege. It is well settled that the right of
privacy is not absolute and may be abridged to accommodate a compelling public interest.

3 complex scheme involving numerous entities, trusts, and foundations. Mr. Gaggero cannot now
4 use this as a defense to responding to relevant post- judgment discovery requests. Moreover, the
5 notion that KPC is limited to information about Mr. Gaggero's current assets is erroneous and
6 contrary to well-settled authority relating to a judgment debtors scope of inquiry. KPC is entitled
7 to any document that will aid in their enforcement efforts including trust documents dating 20
8 years ago, ifnecessary.

privacy is not absolute and may be abridged to accommodate a compelling public interest.

REQUEST NO 7: All DOCUMENTS that RELATE to any trust in which YOU are the
trustor regardless of YOUR present income or financial interest.
Plaintiff's Response: Plaintiff objects to this request on the grounds that it is overly broad,
unduly burdensome and harassing and unlimited as to scope and time. Because plaintiff does not
control the trust, and is not entitled to any distribution from the trust, plaintiff further objects to
this request on the grounds that it seeks documents that are neither relevant nor reasonably
calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in this action. Plaintiff further objects to
this request on the grounds that it calls for the production of irrelevant documents that are
protected from disclosure by plaintiffs and third parties' Constitutionally protected right of
privacy. Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it seeks documents that are
protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege andlor the attorney work-product
doctrine. Those documents include communications between plaintiff and his counsel, the trust
and their counsel, and the beneficiaries and their counsel.
Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections and limitations, Plaintiff responds
as follows: Plaintiff has no trust documents responsive to this request in his possession or control.
Trust documents are believed to be in the possession and control of the attorney and Trustee,
Joseph J. Praske, however, the requested documents are irrelevant to the propounding parties'
judgment collection efforts and are otherwise subject to the privileges and privacy rights set forth

REQUEST NO 13:AIIDOCUMENTS that RELATE to litigation expenses paid by YOU or
anv PERSON or ENTITY on your behalf since 200l.
Plaintifrs Response: Plaintiff objects to this request on the grounds that the term "on
YOUR behalf' is overly broad and compound. Plaintiff further objects to this request on the
grounds that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome and harassing and unlimited as to scope and
time. Plaintifffurther objects to this request on the grounds that it seeks documents that are neither
relevant nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in this action.
Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it calls for the production of irrelevant
documents that are protected from disclosure by plaintiff's and third parties' Constitutionally
protected right of privacy. Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it seeks
documents that are protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege and/or the attorney
work-product doctrine.
Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections and limitations, Plaintiffresponds
as follows: The specified time period is overly broad and unrelated to any reasop.able attempt to
collect this judgment. If the propounding party agrees to limit this request to a relevant and
reasonable time period, Plaintiff will produce documents reasonably responsive to this request in
plaintiffs possession and control that are not privileged. As to fees paid by plaintiff that are not
privileged, those documents have already been produced in discovery in this action and the

Gaggero v. Knapp, Petersen & Clarke, et al in the Los Angeles Superior Case No BC286924 and
Bunge v. 511 o.F.W L.P., et al in Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. SCI00361 are responsive
to this request. Documents reflecting the identity of the person or entity making payments for Mr.
Gaggero's personal litigation expenses are not privileged. KPC also agrees to limit the requests to
expenses paid since October 1,2008.
Mr. Gaggero also objects on the basis of his and third parties Constitutional right to
privacy, attorney-client, and attorney-work product privilege. It is well settled that the right of
privacy is not absolute and may be abridged to acco!!uTIodate a compelling public interest.
Moskowitz v. Superior Court, 137 Cal.App.3d 313, 316 (1982) (citations omitted). One such

to the extent that Mr. Gaggero seeks to withhold any document pursuant to any objection he must
identify with particularity the documents withheld and the objection, including but not limited to
claims of privilege. Hernandez v. Superior Court (2003) 112 Cal. App. 4th 285,291; Code Civ.

harassing. Additionally, Mr. Gaggero responds that there are no documents responsive documents

REQUEST NO 15: All DOCUMENTS that RELATE to the transfer of any asset owned at
any time by YOU as part of YOUR ESTATE PLANNING.
Plaintiff's Response: Plaintiff objects to the definition of ESTATE PLAN set forth in
Defendant's Definitions in that it includes but is not limited to the preparation of any plan of
administration and disposition of Plaintiffs property, owned by plaintiff at any time in any
capacity, before or after death including will, trust, gifts, or power of attorney, or any other
method of estate planning and further refers to the transfer of any assets owned by Plaintiff at any
time to any PERSON or ENTITY collectively on the ground that such an expansive group of
definitions imposes a burden greater than what is required by the California Rules of Civil
Procedure and makes the requests overly broad, unduly burdensome, oppressive, harassing andlor
not otherwise reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of evidence relevant to the inquiry
into Plaintiffs current assets, which is the sole subject ofthis discovery.
Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it is not limited to any relevant
scope and time period. Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it seeks
documents that are neither relevant nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of
admissible evidence in this action. Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it

REQUEST NO 20:All DOCUMENTS that RELATE to real property located at 3501
Canada Larga, Ventura California, 93001.
Plaintiff's Response: Plaintiff objects to this request on the grounds that it is overly broad
as to time and scope as to be unduly burdensome and harassing. Plaintiff further objects to this
request on the grounds that it seeks documents that are neither relevant nor reasonably calculated
to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in this action as plaintiff is not the owner of said
real property. Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it calls for the production
of irrelevant documents that are protected from disclosure by plaintiff's and third parties'
Constitutionally protected right of privacy. Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds
that it seeks documents that are protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege and/or
the attorney work-product doctrine.
Reasons to Compel Production: Mr. Gaggero's primary residence is a 1,500 acre ranch
located at 3501 Canada Larga, Ventura. The property is owned by the Giganin Trust, which is a
judgment debtor via Mr. Praske, in his capacity ofthe Giganin Trust.
Mr. Gaggero also objects on the basis of his and third parties Constitutional right to
privacy, attorney-client, and attorney-work product privilege. It is well settled that the right of
privacy is not absolute and may be abridged to accommodate a compelling public interest.

REQUEST NO 25: All DOCUMENTS that RELATE to any income earned by YOUR since
2010
Plaintiff's Response: Plaintiff objects to this request on the grounds that it is overly broad
as to time and scope as to be unduly burdensome and harassing. Plaintiff further objects to this
request on the grounds that it seeks documents that are neither relevant nor reasonably calculated
to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in this action. Plaintiff further objects to this
request on the grounds that it calls for the production of irrelevant documents that are protected
from disclosure by plaintiffs and third parties' Constitutionally protected right of privacy.
Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it seeks documents that are protected
from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege andlor the attorney work-product doctrine.
Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections and limitations, Plaintiff responds
as follows: Plaintiff will produce any documents responsive to this Request in his possession and
control ifthe propounding party agrees to limit the document request to the relevant time period.
Reasons to Compel Production: Mr. Gaggero's income in the last two years is directly
relevant to KPC's enforcement of their judgment. See Troy, supra 186 CaLApp.3d at 1114
(employment records for preceding five years are relevant for enforcing judgment). These
objections are made in bad faith and wholly without meritless. Mr. Gaggero also objects on the
basis of his and third parties Constitutional right to privacy, attorney-client, and attorney-work
_pLOducLprivilege.~tis_welLsettkd_thaLthe_ righLofpriv:ac)dsnoLabsolute_andmay_be_abridgedto__________ _
accommodate a compelling public interest. Moskowitz v. Superior Court, 137 Cal.App.3d 313,
316 (1982) (citations omitted). One such interest is uncovering the truth in legal proceedings by
allowing broad discovery. Id. Additionally, to the extent that Mr. Gaggero seeks to withhold any

document pursuant to any objection he must identify with particularity the documents withheld

REQUEST NO 28: All deeds, leases, mortgages, or any other DOCUMENT evidencing any
interest or ownership, including equitable interest or ownership, by YOU in real property at
any time since 1997.
Plaintiff's Response: Plaintiff objects to this request on the grounds that it is overly broad
as to time and scope as to be unduly burdensome and harassing. Plaintiff further objects to this
request on the grounds that it seeks documents that are neither relevant nor reasonably calculated
to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in this action. Plaintiff further objects to this
request on the grounds that it calls for the production of irrelevant documents that are protected
from disclosure by plaintiffs and third parties' Constitutionally protected right of privacy.
9 Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grOlmds that it seeks documents that are protected
10 from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege andlor the attorney work-product doctrine.
11 Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections and limitations, Plaintiff responds
12 as follows: Plaintiffhas no documents responsive to this request in his possession or control which
13 would evidence any interest or ownership held in real property after entry of judgment in this
14 matter
15 Reasons to Compel Production: Plaintiff objects to this request on the grounds that it is
16 overly broad as to time and scope as to be unduly burdensome and harassing. Mr. Gaggero
17 responds that he no documents responsive to this request in his possession or control which would
18 evidence any interest or ownership held in real property after entry ofjudgment in this matter.
19 Mr. Gaggero's response again improperly limits the scope of the request. This request seeks
20 documents that will provide infonnation relating to Mr. Gaggero's ownership interests in assets,
21 notwithstanding, that legal title is held by an entity, trust, or foundation. Documents responsive to

Reasons to Compel Production: Plaintiff objects to this request on the grounds that it is
overly broad as to time and scope as to be unduly burdensome and harassing. These are not proper
grounds to refuse to comply with discovery requests. This request seeks documents relating to Mr.
Gaggero's ownership of stock certificates and bonds held by Mr. Gaggero in his personal capacity
or through his ownership or control of an entity, foundation, or trust that holds legal title to the
stock certificates and bonds. KPC has agreed to limit this request to documents since January 1,

Mr. Gaggero also objects on the basis of his and third parties Constitutional right to

Plaintiffs Response: Plaintiff objects to this request on the grounds that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome and harassing and unlimited as to scope and time. Because plaintiff does not control the trust, and is not entitled to any distribution from the trust, plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it seeks documents that are neither relevant nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in this action. Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it calls for the production of irrelevant documents that are protected from disclosure by plaintiffs and third parties' Constitutionally protected right of privacy_ Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it seeks documents that are protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege andlor the attorney work-product doctrine. Those documents include communications between plaintiff and his counsel, the trust - and their counsel, and the beneficiaries and their counseL Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections and limitations, Plaintiff responds as follows: Plaintiff has no trust documents responsive to this request in his possession or control. The trust is irrevocable and Plaintiff has no control or fmancial interest in it. The trust was set up over 14 years ago, well prior to defendant's judgment. Trust documents are believed by plaintiff to be in the possession and control of the attorney and Trustee, Joseph J.

Plaintiff further objects to this request on the grounds that it seeks documents that are neither relevant nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence in this action as plaintiff is not the owner of said real property.

Subject to and without waiving the foregoing objections and limitations, Plaintiff responds as follows: Plaintiff will produce any documents responsive to this Request in his possession and control ifthe propounding party agrees to limit the document request to the relevant time period. Reasons to Compel Production: Mr. Gaggero's income in the last two years is directly relevant to KPC's enforcement of their judgment. See Troy, supra 186 CaLApp.3d at 1114 (employment records for preceding five years are relevant for enforcing judgment). These objections are made in bad faith and wholly without meritless.
