1 TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:
2 Please take notice that on July 20, 2012 at 1:30 a.m. at 111 North Hill Street, Los
3 Angeles, California 90012 or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, Defendants and
4 Judgment Creditors Knapp, Petersen and Clarke, Stephen Ray Garcia, Stephen Harris, and Andre
5 Jardini (KPC) will move this Court to compel Judgment Debtor, Stephen Gaggero to produce
6 documents in response to KPC's Request for Production of Documents (Set Two). This motion is
7 made pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 2023.010 and 2031.010, et seq. on the
8 following grounds:
9 1. KPC is entitled to the documents requested in Request for Production of
10 Documents (Set Two). Each request is designed to elicit information that will assist KPC in
11 enforcing their judgment. Mr. Gaggero has failed to provide a proper basis for withholding the
12
13
14
15
16
documents and has failed to substantial his claims ofprivilege or objections.
2. Mr. Gaggero, aided by his attorney, David Chatfield, has abused the discovery
process by making, without substantial justification, unmeritorious objection and evasive
responses to discovery. Mr. Gaggero and Mr. Chatfield's objections were solely to delay and
obstruct KPC's post-judgment discovery. KPC therefore requests sanctions in the amount of
17 $5,000 and an award of attorney fees in bringing this motion in the amount of $10,840 jointly
18 against Mr. Gaggero and Mr. Chatfield.
19 This motion is based upon this notice of motion and motion, the attached memorandum of
20 points and authorities, the accompanying Declaration of Austa Wakily, and, all pleadings and
21 papers on file in this action, and such additional facts and argument as may be presented at or
22 before the time ofthe hearing.

1 I. INTRODUCTION
2 Judgment Debtor, Stephen Gaggero, a wealthy real estate developer, implemented a
3 complex estate plan in 1997, as part of an asset protection scheme to cheat his creditors. The
4 estate plan involved transferring all of his personal wealth to multiple corporations and
5 partnerships that were in turn owned by one of his trusts and/or foundation. Immediately after
6 implementing the estate plan, Mr. Gaggero's estate planning attorney, and trustee of his trusts,
7 Joseph Praske, appointed him as the "asset manager" of the trusts and foundation. As the asset
8 manager Mr. Gaggero retained complete control of all his property, including decisions relating to
9 refinancing, tax, insurance, buying, selling, improving, and designing some ultimate disposition.
10 Additionally, Mr. Gaggero continues to reap the fmancial benefit from the assets in the estate plan
11 through his personal tax returns. Despite, Mr. Gaggero's substantial wealth, he has refused to pay
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
one penny towards the judgment.
Mr. Gaggero's present conduct is entirely consistent with his well-documented abuse of
the litigation and discovery process. The trial court in the underlying lawsuit found that:
"The evidence clearly and unequivocally supports the conclusion that although there was
no legal justification whatsoever for refusing to pay the judgment in full, Mr. Gaggero
never had any intention to payoff that obligation 100 cents on the dollar. Rather, his
absolutely single-minded focus was on delay as a tactic to force the VNBC judgment
creditors to accept a deeply discounted payoff. Every strategy devised or advocated by Mr.
Gaggero with respect to the VNBC judgrnentcreejitors w~s designed tQ make ilso difficult
and so expensive to continue the fight that they would capitulate.... (fn: In fact, it appears
this same strategy worked with respect to other judgment creditors" '
21 Using the same estate plan as a shield, Mr. Gaggero obstinately refuses to respond to post-
22 judgment discovery asserting claims of irrelevance, privilege, and invasion of privacy rights on
23 behalfofhis corporations, trusts, and partnerships. Mr. Gaggefo has refusedto produce documents
--
24 relating to the implementation of his estate plan arguing the transfers are irrelevant to KPC's
25 enforcement efforts. In fact, according to Mr. Gaggero, KPC is only entitled to information about
26 his finances after the entry ofjudgment and in some instances only-to his current assets.Mr.
27 Gaggero maintains that after giving away $35,000,000 worth of assets as part ofthe estate plan he

1 is now destitute. KPC has made substantial efforts in attempting to resolve the present discovery
2 dispute without the Court's intervention, including substantially limiting and clarifying the
3 requested documents. Mr. Gaggero simply refuses to cooperate.
4 Remarkably, while claiming that is he is destitute in response to KPC's post-judgment
5 discovery, Mr. Gaggero, in his personal capacity, is presently litigating a third legal malpractice
6 lawsuit against KPC. In this pending lawsuit Mr. Gaggero claims that he lost the ability to
7 purchase three ocean front properties in Santa Monica exceeding $2,000,000.00.1
KPC,
8 respectfully requests that this Court compel Mr. Gaggero to produce documents requested in the
9 Requests for Production of Documents (Set Two). Additionally, KPC seeks an award of attorney
10 fees and costs they incurred in bringing this motion in the amount of $10,840.00. Finally, KPC
11 requests sanctions against Mr. Gaggero's attorney in the amount of $5,000 for his collusion in Mr.
12 Gaggero's efforts to defraud his judgment creditors and to commit a fraud on the courts.

PROCEDURAL AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND
A. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
KPC filed the present Request for Production of Documents (Set Two) on January 31,
17 2012 seeking 38 categories of documents pertaining to Mr. Gaggero's estate plan, business,
18 entities, and general fmances. See Declaration of Austa Wakily (Decl. AW ~ 3, Exh. B). Mr.
19 Gaggero's responses were due on March 6,2012 . (ld. at ~ 3). On March 1,2012, Mr. Gaggero's
20 attorney, David Chatfield, requested a 30 day extension to respond citing to Mr. Gaggero's travel
21 schedule and other lawsuits as a basis for the request. (Id at ~ 4, Exh. C). As a matter of
22 professional courtesy Mr. Gaggero's deadline to respond was extended to March 20, 2012. (ld).
23 Mr. Gaggero served responses to KPC's Request for Production of Documents (Set Two) on
~-
24
25 1 KPC, pursuant to California Evidence Code Sections 452(d) and (h), respectfully requests that
this Court take judicial notice of the records and pleading filed in the present case, including the
26 Motion to Amend the Judgment to Add AdditioilalJudgrri~mt Debtors, and Mr. Gaggero's pending
lawsuits in Gaggero v Knapp, Petersen & Clarke, et aI, Los Angeles County Superior Court (Case
27 ND. BC286924) and Bunge v. 511 OF. W L.P., et aI, Los Angeles County Superior Court, (Case

~
1 March 20, 2012. (Id., at ~ 5, Exh. D ). The responses included general boilerplate objections
2 stating in part "[r]equests for documents relating to assets transferred, sold or liquidated over a
3 decade are clearly irrelevant to his judgment enforcement and will not be produced by plaintiff'
4 among numerous other boilerplate and frivolous responses. (Id). Mr. Gaggero did not produce a
5 privilege log or any documents. (Id). KPC, through counsel, responded to Mr. Gaggero's
6 responses on April 2, 2012. (Id. ~ 6, Exh. E). After delays by Mr. Chatfield, the parties met and
7 conferred on April 19, 2012. (Id. ~~ 7-9, Exh. F). Mr. Chatfield agreed to (1) provide

supplemental responses removing all boilerplate andlor or inapplicable objections, (2) provide a
"privilege log" for documents withheld pursuant to a claim of privilege, and (3) produce all
documents that are responsive to the requests that are not privileged. (Id. ~ 9, Exh. G).The
deadline to provide supplemental responses was April 30, 2012. (Id). Mr. Chatfield did not
produce any documents or a privilege log, serving only supplemental responses with baseless
objections. (Id. ~ 10, Exh. H). Mr. Chatfield did not respond to inquiries relating to his intention to
produce a privilege log or documents as he agreed during the meet and confer. (Id. ~ 11, Exh. 1).
KPC on May 11, 2012 afforded Mr. Gaggero another opportunity to resolve the discovery
disputes informally. (Id. ~ 11, Exh. J). Specifically, KPC, through counsel, sent Mr. Chatfield a 22
page letter stating the relevance of each documents requested, clarifying the scope of each request,
and providing case law and authority supporting each request. (Id). After two extensions Mr.
Gaggero was required to produce responsive documents and a privilege log no later than May 24,
2012. (Id.~. 14-15, Exh. K). Mr. Gaggero again refused. Rather, on May 24,2012 at 9:59 p.m.,
Mr. Chatfield notified KPC that a motion for protective order was filed relating to the requests.
(Id. ~ 16, Exh. L). The proposed protective order sought, among other things, to preclude KPC
from using evidence obtained in the present post-judgment collection efforts in their defense ofthe
pending legal lllaipractice lawsuit asserted against thc:In by Mr.. Gaggero. (lcl). In sum, Mr.
Gaggero is seeking the Court's aid to allow him to testify about his vast wealth in pursuing a
lawsuit while asserting that he is penniless in response to post-judgment discovery. (Id). KPC after
further delay tactics was forced to bring this motion. (Id. ~~ 17-18, Exh. M).

1 B. FACTUAL BACKGROUND
2 Mr. Gaggero created an estate plan in or about 1997. (Id. ~ 20, Exh. N). As part of the
3 estate plan Mr. Gaggero transferred approximately $35,000,000 into various entities, including
4 limited partnerships and limited liability companies. (Id). At the time of the transfer Mr. Gaggero
5 was sole the owner of all the entities into which he transferred his assets. (Id). He subsequently
6 transferred his ownership interests in the entities into one of two trusts or a foundation. (Id). Mr.
7 Gaggero continued to retain control over all assets that he transferred as an "asset manager" for the
8 properties and the trusts and foundation. (Id). Based on Mr. Gaggero's and Mr. Praske's
9 testimony during the Gaggero v. Yura trial, Mr. Gaggero's transfer of his assets into his various
10 entities and subsequently into one of his trusts was nothing more than an attempt to shield his
11 assets from creditors. (Id). Mr. Gaggero is the equitable owner of all assets that are a part of his
12 estate plan and KPC as the judgment creditors are entitled to all documents relating to his estate.
13 KPC, on April 10, 2012 filed a Motion to Amend the Judgment to add Mr. Gaggero's
14 trusts, foundation, and business entities as his alter egos. The Motion was granted on May 29,
15 2012. (Id). The amended judgment precludes Mr. Gaggero's further baseless objections on·
16 grounds of irrelevance and privacy, Mr. Gaggero's continued refusal to produce documents will be
17 clearly in bad faith and warrants sanctions.

19 III. DISCUSSION
20 A. LEGAL STANDARD
21 Post-judgment discovery is accorded the widest scope for inquiry concerning property and
22 business affairs ofthe debtor; the object of the proceedings being to compel the judgment debtor
23 to give information concerning his property. "Public policy does not support a judgment debtor's
24 attempt to be fess than candid about his assets and- ability to pay the-judgment especially when a
25 defmite legislative policy has established a procedure for aiding judgment creditors' collection of
26 their judgments." Youngv. Keele (1987) 188 Cal.App.3d 1090, 1093.

)
Here, the critical timeframe in ascertaining Mr. Gaggero's assets is approximately 15 years
ago when he implemented the estate plan. (Id. ~~ 13, 20, Exh. J, N). Mr. Gaggero seeks to curtail
the scope ofdiscovery to assets in his personal name after the entry ofjudgment and in some cases
to his current assets. (rd. ~~ 9-10, G, H). This is plainly wrong and contrary to case law. Troy v.
Superior Court (1986) 186 Cal.App.3d 1006, 1114 Gudgment debtor required to answer questions
relating to the transfer of any assets within the last 10 years). KPC is entitled to documents
relating to Mr. Gaggero's estate plan implemented over 15 years ago.
Mr. Gaggero has also objected to documents relating to his business entities and his
employment asserting a myriad of boilerplate and improper objections. (DecL AW ~ 10, Exh. H).
Case law is clear that KPC is entitled to information relating to Mr. Gaggero'sbusiness affairs.
Troy, supra 186 Cal.App.3d at 1114 citing Martin-Trigona v. Gouletas (7th Cir. 1980) 634 F.2d
354, 360 Gudgment debtor is obligated to answer questions relating to partners, co-shareholders,
co-officers and co-directors, and the contents of a will could reveal the existence and location of
assets owned by the judgment debtor). Additionally, documents relating to a judgment debtor's
employment records for the preceding five years are relevant and proper inquiry for post-judgment
discovery. Id. Mr. Gaggero's continued objections and refusal to provide these documents on
grounds of Constitutional right to privacy, third party privacy, or irrelevance are clearly be in bad
18 faith.

B. KPC'S REQUESTS SEEK DOCUMENTS THAT WILL AID IN THE
ENFORCEMENT OF THEIR JUDGMENT
Estate Plan: Requests 1-6, 15 seek documents relating to the Arenzano Trust, Giganin
Trust, and Aqua Sante Foundation and all entities or assets within the estate plan. Mr. Gaggero
testified that he implemented an estate plan 15 years ago which is comprised of the two trusts,
foundation, and multiple business entities. Mr. Gaggero is the trustor of these trusts and the
26 manager ofthe trusts,foundation, and assets within the estate plan. (Decl. AW ~·13, Exh. J).
27
Trusts and Foundations Generally: Requests 7-10 seek documents relating to all trusts

1 "estate plan." An example is the Terra Mar trust associated with Mr. Gaggero which has been
2 identified in the Bunge v. 511 G.F. W L.P., et aI, (2008) Los Angeles County Superior Court,(Case
3 No. SCI00361). (Decl. AW ~ 13, Exh. J).
4 General Finances: Requests 11-13, 25, 37 seek documents relating to Mr. Gaggero's
5 ability to live a lavish lifestyle, including vacationing overseas, living on a 1,500 acre ranch, and
6 spending hundreds ofthousands of dollars pursuing lawsuits, while claiming he is destitute. These
7 requests seek information concerning Mr. Gaggero's sources of income, financial benefits, right or
8 access to payments of any kind. (Id. ~ 13, Exh. J).

Assets: Requests 14, 20, 28, 30, and 36 seeks documents designed to elicit information
about Mr. Gaggero's current assets, millions of dollars he transferred to third parties, and
information about his ownership interest in the Canada Larga ranch. These documents will aid
KPC in identifying the present legal title ofthe properties as well as ascertaining the consideration
Mr. Gaggero received as part of the transfer which can be used to satisfy the judgment. (Id. ~ 13,
Exh.J).
Post-Judgment Discovery: Request 16 seeks documents relating to attempts of other
judgment creditors in enforcing their judgment against Mr. Gaggero. KPC is clearly entitled to all
documents relating to Mr. Gaggero's involvement in post-judgment discovery. (Id. ~ 13, Exh. J).
Business Entities: Requests 18, 33-34 seek documents relating to any entity, broadly
defined as a corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, general
partnership, trusts, foundation, or other partnership or association in which Mr. Gaggero is an
officer or member in his personal capacity. The requests also seek information relating to any
partr1ership in which Pacific Coast Management or Avalon Corporation is the general partner. (Id.
~ 13, Exh. J).
C. MR. GAGGERO HAS IGNORED IDS OBLIGATION TO COMPLY WITH
POST-DISCOVERY
Mr. Gaggero in response to requests, 1-5, 7-10, 15, asserts that responsive documents are
"helieved to be" in:MI. Praske's possession or control. (Id. ~, 10-11, Exh. H). First, Mr. Gaggero,
-9-

~l
;
1 pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure Section 2031.230, must "affirm that a diligent search and
2 a reasonable inquiry has been made in an effort to comply with that demand." (Decl. AW ~~ 6,
3 9,13, Exh. E, G, J). To the extent Mr. Gaggero claims that he is unable to comply, he must state
4 "whether the inability to comply is because the particular item or category has never existed, has
5 been destroyed, has been lost, misplaced or stolen, or has never been, or is no longer, in the
6 possession, custody or control ofthe responding party. (ld). The statement shall set forth the name
7 and address of any natural person or organization known or believed by that party to have
8 possession, custody or control ofthat item or category of item." (Id). Second, Mr. Gaggero must at
9 a minimum request the documents relating to his estate plan from his estate planning attorney,
10 Joseph Praske, who has an ethical obligation comply with his client's request. Mr. Gaggero did
11 not comply with the requests despite the noticed provided by KPC in the meet and confer
12 correspondence to Mr. Chatfield. (Id). Finally, Mr. Praske in Bunge v. 511 OF. W L.P has filed a .
13 motion for protective order relating to Mr. Gaggero's trust documents. Mr. Gaggero is actively
14 involved in that lawsuit as it relates to his business entities. Clearly Mr. Gaggero is fully aware
15 whether Mr. Praske has possession of the trust documents, but is intentionally refusing to comply
16 with his obligation.
17
18
19
D. MR. GAGGERO IS REQUIRED TO IDENTIFY WITH PARTICULARITY
DOCUMENTS WITHHELD PURSUANT TO ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING
CLAIMS OF PRIVILEGE
20 California Code of Civil Procedure § 2031.240(b)(1) requires Mr. Gaggero to identify with
21 particularity documents withheld pursuant to any objection, including but not limited to claims of
22 privilege. Hernandez v. Superior Court (2003) 112 Cal. App. 4th 285, 291. Mr. Gaggero is
23 required to set forth clearly the extent of, and the specific ground for, the objection. If an objection
24 is based on a clilim of privilege, the particular privilege invoked shall be stated. ffanobjection is
25 based on a claim that the infonnation sought is protected work product under Chapter 4
-
26 (commencing with Section 2018.010), that claim shall be expressly asserted." Code Civ. Proc. §§
27 203I.240(b)(1), (2). Importantly, objections made to requests for production of documents that do

1 not exists or are not in the attorney's or party's possession violate an attorney's ethical duty under
2 the Business and Professions Code to act truthfully and constitute bad faith. Bihun v. AT&T Info.
3 Sys. (1993) 13 Cal. App. 4th 976,991 n 5.
4 The purpose of a "privilege log" is to provide a specific factual description of documents
5 In aid of substantiating a claim of privilege in connection with a request for document
6 production." Hernandez, supra 112 Cal. App. 4th 285 at 292 citing Korea Data Systems Co. v.
7 Superior Court (1997) 51 Cal. App. 4th 1513, 1516-1517. The information in a privilege log or
8 accompanying any other claim ofprivilege must be sufficiently specific to permit the trial court to
9 determine whether each withheld document is or is not privileged. Kaiser Found. Hosp. v.
10 Superior Court (1998) 66 Cal. App. 4th 1217, 1228.
11 Mr. Gaggero, as the party who is seeking to assert this privilege has "[t]he burden of
12 showing the need for such protection." San Diego Professional Assn. v. Superior Court (1962) 58
13 Cal. 2d 194, 204. Mr. Gaggero must provide a specific factual description for each document
14 withheld sufficient to substantiate a claim of privilege in connection with a request for document
15 production. Hernandez, supra 112 Cal. App. 4th 285 at 292 citing Korea Data Systems Co. v.
16 Superior Court (1997) 51 Cal. App. 4th 1513,1516-1517. Mr. Gaggero has not established that
17 any of the documents he is seeking to withhold is subject to any privilege, thus, KPC respectfully
18 requests that this Court compel Mr. Gaggero to produce all documents without further objection.
19 (Decl. AW ~ 10, Exh. H).
20 E. MR. GAGGERO CANNOT ASSERT THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT OR
ATTORNEY WORK-PRODUCT PRIVILEGE TO COMMITT A FRAUD
21
22 The attorney-client privilege authorizes a client to refuse to disclose, and to prevent others
23 from disclosing, information communicated in confidence to the attorney and legal advice
-
24 received in return. Evid. Code, § 954. The privilege does not apply where the "services of the
25 lawyer were sought or obtained to enable or aid anyone to commit or plan to commit a crime or a
26 fraud." Evid. Code, § 956. To invoke crime/fraud exception to attorney-client privilege, the
27 proponent must make prima facie showing that services of lawyer were sought or obtained to

)
1 enable or to aid anyone to commit or plan to commit crime or fraud. State Farm Fire & Casualty
2 Co. v. Superior Court (1997) 54 Cal.App.4th 625. Here, Mr. Gaggero, while he was a judgment
3 debtor, retained Mr. Praske to implement an asset protection scheme to conceal his assets from
4 creditors. (Decl. AW ~ 20, Exh. N). Mr. Praske continues his work relating to the estate plan as the
5 trustee ofthe trusts or foundation and in his capacity as an officer of the various business entities.
6 Id.
7 Importantly, Mr. Gaggero only asserts this privilege as part of his efforts to defraud
8 judgment creditors. (Id. ~~16-17, 20, Exh. L, N). Mr. Gaggero in pursuing a breach of contract
9 lawSl.lit against in Gaggero v. Yura did not assert the attorney client privilege relating to his estate
10 plan. (Id. ~ 20, N). In fact both he and Mr. Praske testified in great lengths about the
11 implementation of the estate plan and Mr. Gaggero's authority to command resources within the
12 estate to purchase property in excess of 1 million dollars. (Id). Mr. Gaggero's cannot assert the
13 attorney-client privilege selectively to defraud his judgment creditors. Finally, Mr. Praske's
14 knowledge of the fraud is irrelevant for the crime-fraud exception to the attorney client privilege
15 to apply; instead, the application of it turns on Mr. Gaggero's intent. Freedom Trust v. Chubb
16 Group ofIns. Companies (1999) 38 F.Supp.2d 1170. There is no doubt that Mr. Gaggero was and
17 is perpetrating a fraud in implementing the estate plan designed to conceal his assets from his
18 judgment creditors.

It is well settled that the right of privacy is not absolute and it may be abridged to
accommodate a compelling public interest. Moskowitz v. Superior Court, 137 Cal.App.3d 313,
316 (1982) (emphasis added). One such interest is uncovering the truth in legalproceedings by
allowing broad discovery. Id. When the right of privacy and the public interest conflict, the court
must balancethe inten.~stsfor a fair resolution ofthe lawsuit. Here, Mr. Gaggero seeks toassertthe .
constitutional right to privacy for each response, without any description as to. what documents he

On May 29, 2012 KPC's Motion to Amend the Judgment to Add Additional Judgment
Debtors came on for hearing before Judge Robert L. Hess. Judge Hess granted the motion adding
Pacific Coast Management, 511 OFW LP, Gingerbread Court LP, Malibu Broad Beach LP,
Marina Glencoe LP, Blu House LLC, Boardwalk Sunset LLC, and Joseph Praske, trustee, of the
Giganin Trust, Arenzano Family Trust, and Aquasante Foundation as judgment debtors. Mr.
Gaggero, therefore, can no longer assert the privacy rights of the trusts, foundation, and entities in
support ofhis refusal to comply with post-judgment discovery. (Id. ~20, Exh. N).

For the foregoing reasons, judgment creditors KPC, respectfully request this Court to

DECLARATION OF AUSTA WAKILY IN SUPPORT OF MOTION
TO COMPEL POST JUDGMENT REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
I, Austa Wakily, declare:
1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law by the State Bar of California. I am an
associate at the law firm Miller LLP and the attorney of record for the defendants and judgment
creditors, Knapp, Petersen & Clarke, Stephen Ray Garcia, Stephen Harris, and Andre Jardini
(collectively referred to as "KPC") in this action. I first became involved in the handling of the
post-judgment enforcement efforts in this action in mid-November 2012. I am also the attorney of
record in another lawsuit involving judgment debtor Stephen Gaggero against KPC for purported
legal malpractice. Since that time I have become familiar with the pleadings, records and files in
this action including the appeal and the amended judgment, including numerous transcripts and
various lawsuits in which Stephen Gaggero has been a party.
2. KPC obtained a judgment against Mr. Gaggero on May 19, 2008 in the amount of
$1,327,697,994.50 and amended on December 28, 2010 to include attorney fees and costs after
Mr. Gaggero unsuccessfully appealed the underlying judgment. KPC's judgment as of December
28,2012 totaled $1,841,535.80. Attached as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy ofthe amended
judgment.
3. I personally drafted 38 Requests for Pl:oduction of Documents (Set Two) pursuant
to Code of Civil Procedure § 708.030. Attached as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of the
requests served on January 31, 2012. The requests were specifically drafted to obtain information
to aid in the collection of the judgment including information relating to Mr. Gaggero's estate
plan, entities and assets within the estate plan, and third parties who have knowledge, possession,
or control of Gaggero's assets. Mr. Gaggero's respons_es were due on March6, 2012..
4. Mr. Gaggero's counsel ofrecord, David Chatfield, on March 1,2012 sent a letter to
our. office requesting a.30 day extension due in part to Gaggero's travel schedule and other
litigation. As a professional courtesy Mr. Chatfield, on March 2, 2012 was granted a two week

extension. Mr. Gaggero's deadline to respond was extended to March 20, 2012. Attached as
Exhibit C are copies ofthe letters relating to the extension.
5. Mr. Gaggero, through his counsel, served responses on March 20, 2012. No
documents were produced with the responses. A copy ofthe responses is attached as Exhibit D
6. After receiving and reviewing the responses I sent a letter dated April 2, 2012 to
Mr. Chatfield proposing to meet and confer on April 6, 2012 in an attempt to avoid having to
bring a motion to compel. Attached as Exhibit E is a copy ofmy letter to Mr. Chatfield.
7. Mr. Chatfield responded by email on April 3, 2012 stating that he was not available
to meet and confer on April 9, 2012 but was available any time after 10:00 on April 12, 2012.
Based on Mr. Chatfield's response I proposed to meet and confer on April 12,2012 at 3:00 pm.
Mr. Chatfield responded by email on April 6, 2012 agreeing to meet and confer on April 12, 2012
and extending our deadline to file a motion to compel to May 11,2012. Attached as Exhibit F is
a copy ofthe email.
8. I received a call from Mr. Chatfield's secretary on April 11, 2012 stating that Mr.
Chatfield could not make the scheduled meet and confer on April 12, 2012 due to an urgent
matter. Mr. Chatfield's secretary further informed me that he would be available to reschedule
the meet and confer to April 19,2012 at 3:00 p.m. and that we would also receive a one week
extension to file a motion to compel to May 18, 2012. I sent an email to Mr. Chatfield
confirming my conversation with his secretary. The email is included as part ofExhibit F.
9. On April 19, 2012 I called Mr. Chatfield to discuss the responses to the request for
production of documents. Mr. Chatfield agreed to (1) provide supplemental responses removing
all boilerplate and/or or inapplicable objections, (2) provide a "privilege log" for documents
withheld pursuant to a claim ofprivilege, and (3) produce all documents that are responsive to the
requests·that are not privileged. The deadline to provide supplemental responses was April 30,
2012. A copy ofmy email to Mr. Chatfield confirming our discussions is attached as Exhibit G.
10. Mr. Gaggero, through is counsel, served supplemental responses on April 30, 2012.
Mr. Gaggero again did not produce any documents. Attached as Exhibit H is a true and correct

copy of Mr. Gaggero's supplemental responses to the request for production of documents (set
two).
11. After reviewing the supplemental responses served on May 2, 2012 it became
readily apparent that Mr. Gaggero had no intention of producing the requested documents. My
agreement with Mr. Chatfield to allow him to supplement his responses to April 30, 2012
required him to comply with the three conditions to which he agreed. Mr. Gaggero's
supplemental responses did not include a privilege log or any document production. Additionally,
while the supplemental responses have removed the "General Objections" each objection
continues to assert imorooer boilerolate objections.......L .a. oJ ,
12. I sent Mr. Chatfield an email on May 2,2012 inquiring whether he would produce
a privilege log. Mr. Chatfield did not respond. Attached as Exhibit I is a copy of this email
communication.
13. I sent Mr. Chatfield a twenty one page meet and confer letter on May 11, 2012
addressing the deficiencies in the supplemental responses, limiting the scope of certain request,
and clarifying the requests. Attached as Exhibit J is a copy of the meet and confer letter sent on
May 11,2012.
14. In the letter I provide Mr. Gaggero to respond to the Meet and Confer no later than
May 15,2012. Mr. Chatfield emailed me on May 14,2012 requesting a two week extension of
our respective-deadlines due to a deadline to file an opposition In a reIated motion. I responded
on May 14,2012 agreeing to provide him a one week extension to May 22, 2012. Attached as
Exhibit K is a copy ofthe email correspondence.
15. On May 21,2012, Mr. Chatfield's assistant, Dawn Masters called me to request an
additional two day extension for Mr. Chatfield to respond to the meet and confer letter dated May
11~2012.(agreedto provide Mr. Chatfield until May 24, 2012 to respond conditioned on a two
day extension for filing the motion to compel to May 31, 2012. Attached with Exhibit K is a copy
- -- ---
of my email to Mr. Chatfield and Ms. Masters confmning my telephone conversation with Ms.

16. Mr. Chatfieldemailed me on May 24,2012 at 9:59 p.m. to state that he has filed a
motion for protective order. Attached as Exhibit L is a copy of Mr. Chatfield's email to me and
the proposed protective order. After reviewing the protective order I believe that Mr. Gaggero's
purpose in seeking the order is to prohibit KPC from using evidence obtained from post-judgment
discovery against him in his pending legal malpractice lawsuit against KPC. (Exh. L, ~ 4
Protective Order). I previously explained to Mr. Chatfield in response to a protective order in the
debtor examination proceeding that we will not agree to any protective order that will allow Mr.
Gaggero to commit perjury in prosecuting a lawsuit against KPC while also precluding them
from enforcing their judgment. This is documented in my email attached with Exhibit L.
17. I responded to Mr. Chatfield's email on May 25, 2012 to clarify his misstatements
that were confirmed in my emails. I also informed him that we would proceed with filing a
motion to compel based on his client's failure to cooperate with post-judgment discovery.
Attached as Exhibit M is a copy ofmy email to Mr. Chatfield.
18. Mr. Chatfield responded requesting further meet and confers on the discovery and
requesting that I do not file a motion to compel. In response I emailed Mr. Chatfield to confirm
that he produced with his May 24, 2012 supplemental responses the privilege log he stated he
would produce on April 30, 2012. Mr. Chatfield confirmed that he has not produced a privilege
log and intends to comply. I explained in a response that his client's deadline to respond was May
24~ 2012requiring actual -compliance and not another assertion of an intent to comply. Attached -
with ~~itit-M is a copy ofthe email.,~',,:;',.,.';; :.~,,,~./ .... ;.' '.
19. KPC subsequently received 15 pages of documents produced in response to
Request for Production of Documents (Set Two). The documents are considerably insufficient in
responding to KPC's requests.
20. On May 29, -2012 KPC'sMotion to Amend the Judgment to Add AdditionaI"
Judgment Debtors came on for hearing before Judge Robert L. Hess. Judge Hess granted the
motion adding Pacific Coast Management, 511 OFW LP, Gingerbread Court LP, Malibu Broad
Beach LP, Marina Glencoe LP, Blu House LLC, Boardwalk Sunset LLC, and Joseph Praske,

trustee, of the Giganin Trust, Arenzano Family Trust, and Aquasante Foundation as judgment
debtors. Attached as Exhibit N is a true and correct copy of the Motion to Amend the Judgment
and signed order.
21. Mr. Chatfield notified me immediately after the Court granted KPC's Motion to
Amend the Judgment that he will file a notice of appeaL Based on Mr. Chatfield's statements
and Mr. Gaggero's numerous appeals I believe that he will appeal the Court's ruling and continue
refusing to cooperate with post-judgment discovery on that basis.
22. Based on Mr. Chatfield's and Mr. Gaggero's tactics in abusing the discovery
process I believe that any request for further meet and confers is solely as a delay tactic and will
not result in the production of any documents. As a result, it has been necessary to bring this
motion.
23. I personally drafted and reviewed each request in the Request for Production of
Documents (Set Two). Each of the requests is likely to lead to information that will aid KPC in
enforcing their judgment.
24. In order to bring this, I expended no less 20 hours preparing the motion and
accompanying separate statement, declaration, and exhibits. Additionally, I spent 20 hours
reviewing Mr. Gaggero's responses and supplemental responses to the request for production of
document, preparing the meet and correspondences to Mr. Chatfield, and meeting and conferring
with Mr. Chatfield. I expect to spend additIonal five (5) hours preparing-any reply briefs and
attending the hearing on this matter.
25. My hourly rate is $240. I seek an award of attorney's fees for $10,800 for 45 hours
ofwork at $240 per hour, plus the $40.00 filing fee for a total of$10,840.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the
foregoing IS true and correct and that this declaration was executed on May g/,2012 at Los
Angeles, California.

1 PlaintiffStephenM. Gaggero (''Plaintiff') hereby responds and objects to Defendant
2 Knapp, Petersen & Clarke's (''Defendant'') Request for Production ofDocUlP.ents. The response
3 contains both general and specific objections, which are incorporated .into each individual
4 response.
5 PRELThfiNARYSTATEMENT
6 Nothing in this response shall be construed as waiving any rights or objections that might
7 otherwise be available to Plaintiff, Plaintiffmakes this response subject to and without waiver of:
8 (1) the right to make additional objections or seek protective orders in the event additional
9 review offiles results in further information;
10 (2) the right to object to other discovery directed to the subject matter ofthe Requests; and
11 (3) the right to revlse, correct, supplement, or clarify the response.
12 GENERAL OBJECTIONS
13 1. Plaintiffobjects generally to the Requests, and to each individual Request, on the
14 grounds that they are. overly broad and unduly burdensome and harassing in that they are clearly
15 not li:r.i:rited to docUment~ necessary to aid in the enforcement ofthe judgment for fees and costs in
16 this matter. Requests for documents relating to assets transferred, sold or liquidated over a decade
17 ago are clearly irrelevant to this judgment enforcement and will not be produced byplaintiff.
18 2. Plaintiffobjects generally to the Requests, and to each individual Request, to the
19 extent that they call for information protected from discovery or disclosure by anyprivilege or
"-:' --.---:~--.: .,-.:-~~ -.-~'~ :--: --.~'.'--.-.",::.--._-._-:.- "._." :~"- .... "___7 ....."._" _. ~ ", __ :"_.: ~~_~_~ .... "'~.._ ~ _':_.'.'_-. .' ._. .. _.....: ..._.._~ . . . . . _. _ ....
20 doctrine, including, without limitation, the attorney-client privilege, the attorney work product
21 doctrine, and anyprivilege or doctrine that protects infoITnation from discovery or disClosure
22 because it otherwise reflects the impressions, conclusions, opinions, legal research, litigation plans
23 or theories ofPlaintiffs attorneys. By providing certain information requested herein, Plaintiff
24 does notwaiveanypriyilege or protection that is or maybe applicable to such information.

1 applicable to such information.
2 4. Plaintiffobjects generally to the Requests, and to each individual Request, to the
3 extent tha{theypmport to impose upon Plaintiffobligations beyond those imposed under the Code
4 of Civil Procedure or Court Rules.
5 5. Plaintiffobjects generally to the Requests, and to each individual Request, to the
6 extent that they request information that is in the possession, custody or control of:Defendants.
7 6. Plaintiffobjects generally to the Requests, and to each individual Reqll:est, to the
8 extent that they seek information that is not in the custody or control ofPlaintiff. Plaintifffurther
9 objects generally to the Requests to the extent that they seek information that is publicly available,
10 or to which Plaintiffhas aCcess equal to as Plaintiff, or which PlaintiffOr Plaintiffs counsel could
.11 obtain with equal effort.
12 7. Plaintiffobjects generally to the Requests, and to each individual request, to the
13 extent that they seek disclosure ofinformation that is confidential and/or proprietary.
14 8. Plaintiff objects generally to the Requests, and to each Request, because they are
15 vague, ambiguous, unintelligible, undated, unsigned, and overly broad, in that they contain
16 undefined terms or pmport to impose definitions that are both internally inconsistent and
----------n- ·-mcompatltrle witlrb1'ditrary,-common;-·orestablished-meanings:--Aecordingly,·iti.-mterpreting-and- .-----._.-
18 construing the requests, Plaintiffwill give words their ordinary meaning, common, and established
19 :ine~g~, s?_that._tJ:1e.r~SIJonses and objections will not be subject to misinterpretation. When the
__ .. "..... :. _':_'::::" __ :.:~ .. _M. __ .~. __.::_ ...._ ••" __ ' __ '_::-.__.::-'..::_..__ .. " ..,': .... _. :__ ~.•.. _ ~_.-: ... . _...... .
20 response uses the present tense, plaintiffwill presume that defendants are referring to the present
21 time. When the request uses the word "since" plaintiffunderstands the word to have the meaning
22 set forth in Webster's dictionary "after a time in the past.;'
23 9. Plaintiffobjects to the definition ofthe terms "you" and "your" set forth in
24 _Paragraph 1 ofDefendant'spe:fi.nitions in that it collectiyely n~fers to Plaintiff, together with his
25 a.gents, eri::llJloyee~-ern:ployet, attorney, accountant, investigator, or anyone else acting onPla:ifitiff's

Re: Gaggero v. Knapp, Petersen & Clarke, et al
Los Angeles Superior Court (BC286925)
Mr. Chatfield:
Reply To:
austa@millerllp.com
I write to address your responses to Defendants Request for Production ofDocuments (Set Two).
I propose that we meet and confer on Friday April 6, 2012 at 11:00 am to allow sufficient time
for filing a motion to compeL Alternatively, please amend your responses no later than
Thursday AprilS, 2012 to remove all boilerplate objections and address the improper responses.
I appreciate your cooperation in resolving these matters expeditiously.
GENERAL RESPONSES
1. Improper Boilerplate Objections
Boilerplate, blanket objections are prohibited under the discovery statute. Such objections
provide -no~explanation as to how the objection- is proper or how-it-appliesin the context used.
See, Korea Data Systems Co. Ltd. v. Superior Court (1997) 51 Cal. App. 4th 1513, 1516-1517.
Plaintiff has included eleven (11) paragraphs of boilerplate objections which are incorporated
into every response. The boilerplate objections make it impossible for defendants to determine
which documents have been withheld, if any, and the extent to which a particular objection
applies to a Request.
2. Privilege Log
~ -- ---- - - - - - - .-- ----- - -- - -- - - -- --~- . - - -
California Code of Civil Procedure Section ~031.240(b)(1) requires Mr. Gaggero to
identify with particularity documents withheld pursuant to any objection, including but not
limited to claims of privilege. Hernandez v. Superior Court (2003) 112 Cal. App. 4th 285, 29l.

objection. If an objection is based on a claim of privilege, the particular privilege invoked shall
be stated. If an objection is based on a claim that the information sought is protected work

asserted." Code Civ. Proc. §§ 2031.240(b)(1), (2).
April 2, 2012

Plaintiff must provide the following for each document withheld pursuant to any claim of
privilege:
1) Identity of each document;
2) The author(s) ofthe document;
3) Recipients;
4) Date ofpreparation; and
5) The specific privilege(s) asserted.
The purpose of a "privilege log" is to provide a specific factual description of documents
in aid of substantiating a claim of privilege in connection with a request for document
production." Hernandez, supra 112 Cal. App. 4th 285 at 292 citing Korea Data Systems Co.
supra 51 Cal. App. 4th at 1516-1517. The information in a privilege log or accompanying any
other claim of privilege must be sufficiently specific to permit the trial court to determine
whether each withheld document is or is not privileged. Kaiser Found. Hosp. v. Superior Court
(1998) 66 Cal. App. 4th 1217, 1228.
Attorney-Client Privilege: The party claiming the attorney-client privilege "has the
burden of establishing the preliminary facts necessary to support its exercise, i.e., a
communication made in the course of an attorney-client relationship." Costco Wholesale Corp.
v. Superior Court, (2009) 47 Cal. 4th 725, 733 (citations omitted). The attorney-client product
privilege does not apply to independent facts, such as disclosure ofnames of witnesses, existence
of photos, meetings, persons in attendance and subject matter of the meetings and other
evidence. Smith v. Superior Court (1961) 189 Cal.App.2d 5, 11; State Farm Fire & Casualty
Co. v. Superior Court (1997) 54 Cal. App. 4th 625, 639. The privilege also does not apply to
documents prepared by a party simply because the documents were presented to the attorney.
Wellpoint Health Networks, Inc. v. Superior Court (1997) 59 Cal.App.4th 110, 119. To the
extent Mr. Gaggero is withholding documents pursuant to the attorney-client privilege he must
provide a privilege log.
Work Product Privilege: Plaintiff also is required to provide a privilege log for all
documents withheld through the work-product privilege. Mr. Gaggero fails to state the specific
grounds for the objectioiuls required by Code of CivilProcedilleSection 2031.240(b)(2): "The
burden of showing need for such protection is upon the party claiming such need." San Diego
Professional Assn. v. Superior Court (1962) 58 Cal. 2d 194, 204.
Confidential and/or Proprietary- Right to Privacy: Mr. Gaggero also asserts,
generally, objections pursuant to the right to privacy for himself and on behalf of unidentified
third persons. Plaintiff is required to state which documents, if any, he is withholding on the
grounds that the documents are protected under a right to privacy.
Please provide a privilege log for each document withheld pursuant to any privilege no later
than April 6, 2012.

3. All Documents Relating to Mr. Gaggero's Estate Plan
Mr. Gaggero states in his general objections that he refuses to provide any documents
relating to relating to his estate plan by asserting that "[r]equests for documents relating to assets
transferred, sold or liquidated over a decade are clearly irrelevant to his judgment enforcement
and will not be produced by plaintiff." We completely disagree with this objection.
We are, as you know, aware that Mr. Gaggero created an estate plan in or about 1997. As
part of the estate plan Mr. Gaggero transferred approximately $30,000,000 from his personal
portfolio into various entities, including limited partnerships and limited liability companies. At
the time of the transfer Mr. Gaggero was sole the owner of all the entities into which he
transferred his assets. He subsequently transferred his ownership interests in the entities. into one
of his self-settled trusts. Mr. Gaggero continues to retain control over all assets that he
transferred as an "asset manager" for the properties. Further, he has appointed his estate
planning attorney, Joseph Praske, as the trustee for his trusts. Mr. Praske refers to Mr. Gaggero is
the "decision maker" with respect to ail assets in the "estate pian." Further stiil, both Mr.
Gaggero and Mr. Praske refer to the estate plan as comprising Gaggero's estate. These
documents are relevant to not only the creation of the estate plan, but information as to whether
Mr. Gaggero retained any control over the assets in the estate, including his current access the
resources in the estate.
Based on Mr. Gaggero's and Mr. Praske's testimony during the Gaggero v. Yura trial,
Mr. Gaggero's transfer of his assets into his various entities and subsequently into one of his
trusts is nothing more than an attempt to shield his assets from creditors. Mr. Gaggero is the
equitable owner of all assets that are a part of his estate plan and KPC as the judgment creditors
are entitled to all documents relating to his estate.
4. "YOU" and "YOUR"
Mr. Gaggero improperly attempts to limit the scope of the judgment creditors request by
re-defIning the term "YOU" and "YOUR." The term "YOU" and "YOUR" is defmed as
''Responding Party arid his agents~ employee, eriipl()yer,att6riley, ·accoililtfult; investigator;· ot·
anyone else acting on Responding Party's behalf."
As discussed under number 3 above, Mr. Gaggero as part of his estate plan transferred all
ofhis assets and money to·various corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships,
general pminerships, and other business entities. Mr. Gaggero now operates his business and
personal matters through these entities. For example, Mr. Gaggero's legal fees in several cases
were paid by PacifIc Coast Management and Avalon Corporation. He also acts as the
.. -"representative" on behalf of the various-business entities, such·as 511 O.F.W.LF,-Malibu
Broadbeach, LP, and Marina Glencoe,LP, to name a few.
.Einally,thedefmitionQ("YQ:U"_and. "YQlJR"in~lQdedmfu~Regllest f'Q1:PrQdjlctio1J.9:f
Documents (Set Two) is no more expansive than the defInition approved by the judicial counsel
in Form Interrogatories. Mr. Gaggero's assertion that the defInition of "YOU" and "YOUR"
"imposes a burden greater than what is required by the California Rules of Civil Procedure" is
~--------~u1ll~reiel~hDuhneri~t.----------------------------------~-------------------------

5. "ESTATE PLAN"
ESTATE PLAN includes but is not limited to the preparation of any plan of
administration and disposition of YOUR property, ovvned by YOU 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. ESTATE PLAN also refers to the "Estate Plan" YOU testified about during the
GAGGERO V. YURA triaL ESTATE PLAN further refers to the transfer of any assets ovvned
by you at any time to any PERSON or ENTITY.
Mr. Gaggero objects to this defInition as "over broad, unduly burdensome, and not
otherwise reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence relevant to the .inquiry into
Plaintiffs current assets, which is the sole subject of this discovery." Judgment creditors,
KPC, have not limited the scope of this discovery to Mr. Gaggero's current assets. KPC is
entitled to all information that will aid in the enforcement of its judgment against Mr. Gaggero
and that includes all information and documents related to Mr. Gaggero's estate plan, regardless
ofthe date of creation. KPC is entitled to all documents requested.
6. Publicly Available Documents
Plaintiff objects to documents to the extent that they are publicly available or to which
Defendant has equal access as to Plaintiff. Defendants are entitled to request documents, albeit
public, that are in Plaintiffs possession, custody, or controL To the extent plaintiff is refusing to
provide documents pursuant to this objection, he must identify the documents to which he refers.
Plaintiffs objection on this ground requires defendants to guess which documents have been
produced, thus, is inappropriate. KPC need not guess what publicly available documents are
responsive to each request.
7. Vague, Ambiguous, and Overbroad
Mr. Gaggeto includes among the general objections that each Request is vague,
ambiguous, intelligible, undated, unsigned, and overly broad. The objections of "vague,
.ambiguous, ullintelligible'; is atechnical objeCtion ana cai:uiofbe a basis·for-refusing to produce·
documents. Standon Co., Inc. v. Superior Court (1990) 225 CaL App. 3d 898, 901.
Vague and ambiguous: Such objections are valid only if the question is totally
unintelligible. Where the question is somewhat ambiguous, but the nature of the information
sought is apparent, the proper solution is to provide an appropriate response. Deyo v. Kilbourne
(1978) 84 Cal. App. 3d 771, 783.
. Unduly Burdensome: ·Plaintiff has' asserted this nuisance objection without any facts
quantifying why the production would be unduly·burdensome; The scope of discovery is broad
and the judgment creditors, as discussed below, are entitled to all the documents sought in the
. . .. Requestfor ProductionofDocuments,SetIwo).
I·
I
Overly Broad; This is not a valid obj€Gtion to any ofoth€ r€qu€sts. As diSGuss€d below, the
judgment creditors are entitled to discovery of any matter, not privileged, that is likely to aid in
r------ilie enforcemenfOfjudgment.
April 2, 2012
Page 5
8. Relevance
Post-judgment discovery is accorded the widest scope for inquiry concerning property
and business affairs of the debtor; the object of the proceedings being to compel the judgment
debtor to give information concerning his property. "Public policy does not support a judgment
debtor's attempt to be less than candid about his assets and ability to pay the judgment especially
when a defInite legislative policy has established a procedure for aiding judgment creditors
collection oftheir judgments." Young v. Keele (1987) 188 CaLApp.3d 1090, 1093.
KPC, as the judgment creditors, therefore, are entitled to conduct the full panoply of
discovery in obtaining information related to Mr. Gaggero's assets, i.e., his estate plan.
Mr. Gaggero also objects generally to the Requests to the extent they seek information
"outside the relevant time period." All documents requested are relevant to the enforcement of
judgment against Mr. Gaggero including documents relating to the transfer of his assets 'and the
creation ofhis estate plan.
SPECIFIC REQUESTS
Requests 6, 11, 12-17,21,23,24,29, and 35 includes only boilerplate objection without further
indication as to whether the documents exist or will be produced. Mr. Gaggero must produce all
documents responsive to these requests or provide a privilege log substantiating the privileges
asserted no later than April 9, 2012.
Requests 1-10,14-15 seeks documents related to Mr. Gaggero's estate plan, including Arenzano
Trust, Giganin Trust, and Aqua Sante Foundation that Mr. Gaggero's estate planning attorney,
Joseph Praske, identifIed as part of Mr. Gaggero's estate. The trustor of each trust is Mr.
Gaggero and the trustee is Mr. Praske. Requests 1-3 are limited specifIcally to the three trusts
and are not limited in time. The remaining requests 4-10 seek documents relating to all trusts,
entities, or foundations that relate to the estate plan, but which have not otherwise been identifIed
iriRequests: Requests14 aridl) also seek documents relating -tOilietrallster ot Mr~-(}aggero's
assets as part of his estate plan- as he testified in Yura. All documents relating to the estate plan
will lead to information of his continued ownership interests or the value he received as part of
his transfer.
Requests 11-13,24,37-38 seek documents relating to the payment of various expenses on Mr.
Gaggero's behalf. As a result of Mr. Gaggero's estate plan he claims to have retained nothing in
his personal name. He claims he does not have a checking account yet he lives on a 1,500 acre
-- ranch. --Mr;-Gaggeropresumablyhas some -living~expenses,-inc1udinghis constant out of state-
traveling. As stated above, Mr; Gaggero's litigation expenses were paid for by PacifIc Coast
Management and Avalon Corporation. These entities also paid for Mr. Gaggero's personal bills,
such asutility._andJris_ dog's~v.eterinary~bills,basecLoll-his_testimouyinthe_underlying case on _
August 2, and 7, 2007. KPC is entitled to obtain all documents relating to any'income Mr.
Gaggero receives from any entity, paid in any form, inGluding through the payment of his
expenses.
April 2, 2012
Page 6
Requests 16-17 seeks documents relating to attempts of other judgment creditors in enforcing
their judgment against Mr. Gaggero. We are aware that Mr. Gaggero is and has been a judgment
debtor for other cases. Some ofthe other judgments have been paid offby Mr. Gaggero or one of
the entities in his estate or his trustee. Clearly these requests relate to Mr. Gaggero's finances and
are relevant to our clients attempt to collect on a $2,000,000 judgment.
Request 18- This request seeks all documents related to the various entities Mr. Gaggero or his
attorney established in which he continues to act as an officer or member. There is no basis to
. withhold these documents.
Requests 19-20 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 part of Mr. Gaggero's
estate. All documents related to these requests are relevant to enforcement of KPCs $2,000,000
judgment against Mr. Gaggero.
Requests 21-23 Mr. Gaggero's tax documents are an independent method of confIrming his
income, including those derived from assets within his estate. Because Mr. Gaggero has refused
to disclose information relating to his assets we are left with no option but to seek tax documents
to clearly ascertain his financial information.
Request 25 seeks all documents related to Mr. Gaggero's income since 2010. Mr. Gaggero
stated that he will produce responsive documents if we agree to limit the request to the relevant
time period. We will not agree to limit the requests. Mr. Gaggero's income earned in the last 2
years is likely to lead to information to aid in the enforcement of a judgment. Further, there is no
explanation in the responses as to why request should be limited.
Requests 26 and 27 seeks all documents relating to accounts with a fmancial institutions,
including bank statements for personal or business accounts in which Mr. Gaggero has a legal
or equitable interest. Mr. Gaggero testified in Yura that he provides money to Pacific Coast
Management and then uses its checking ·account. Mr. Gaggero has an equitable interest in
accounts include Pacific Coast Management. Mr. Gaggero is required to produce all documents
relating to bank statements for personal arid business accounts in whicli neisan-equitable oWner, .
i.e., where he has authority to issue checks to pay his expenses or expenses associated with his
assets.
Requests 28-30 requests all documents evidencing Mr. Gaggero's ownership interest, at any
time, in any asset, including property, stocks and bonds, held by him in any capacity. These
requests seek to obtain information on all assets owned by Mr. Gaggero since 1997 to determine
what he transferred as part of his estate planning and determine the value he received for each
- transfer. - - - ...... --- ~ -
Requests 31-34 seeks all documents related to Pacific Coast Management and Avalon
Corporation..Mr. Gaggero,. personally_orthrough his_attorney,set up both thes_eCOIporationsand
as such should have access to all documents. These corporations are part of his estate plan and
are relevant to KPC's enforcement ofjudgment..
April 2, 2012

,~
/
Request 35 seeks all documents relating to Mr. Gaggero's relationship to other entities. Mr.
Gaggero has been involved in numerous lawsuits naming the corporations, limited partnerships,
and limited liability companies in which he transferred his assets as a party. Mr. Gaggero's
involvement has been in his personal capacity or as a "representative" on behalf of an entity.
Documents responsive to this request will provide information relating to Mr. Gaggero's
continued equitable ownership of all assets in his estate, via the business entities, and on that
basis is clearly relevant.

personal property. These documents are relevant to establishing Mr. Gaggero's ownership or
equitable ownership ofhis assets.

Plaintiffs responses above. I propose that we meet and confer on Friday April 6 2012 at 11:00

Meet and Confer re Request for Production of Documents (Set Two)
This email will confirm our meet and confer regarding the defendant's Request for Production of Documents (Set
Two). Per our agreement you will (1) provide supplemental responses removing all boilerplate and/or or inapplicable
objections, (2) provide a privilege log for documents withheld pursuant to a claim of privilege, and (3) produce all
documents that are responsive to the requests that are not privileged. The agreed deadline to provide the above is April
30,2012.
During our call you informed me that the anticipated response relating to the trusts is that Mr. Gaggero does not have
possession, custody, or control of the documents because those documents are in ~v1r. Praske's possession. As!
explained Mr. Gaggero at a minimum must request those documents from Mr. Praske. Mr. Gaggero cannot place
documents within his control to another party and refuse to disclose them on that basis. Mr. Gaggero retained Mr.
Praske as an estate planning attorney to implement his estate plan. Mr. Gaggero is the trustor of the trusts and
continues to exert full control and influence over Mr. Praske relating to not only the trusts but all assets in the
trust. Mr. Gaggero can request from Mr. Praske, his attorney, all documents relating to the implementation of his
estate plan including the trust documents. Mr. Praske as his attorney has an ethical obligation to comply with that
request.
Finally, you informed me that you intend to limit the dates for the documents, however, you will specify the dates in the
supplemental responses. This will allow me to review and determine whether we disagree on the proposed
limits. Please note that we will not agree to limit the relevant time frame to post entry of judgment, particularly with
respect to documents relating to the estate plan. As you know, Mr. Gaggero's estate plan was implemented in or about
1997 and since then he has conducted all business and personal matters through the trusts or entities owned by the
trusts. Limiting the timeframe of post-judgment discovery will preclude defendants from obtaining key information
relating to Mr. Gaggero's true financial status.
~-
We look forward to receiving the supplemental responses no later than April 30, 2012. We will reply to your
supplemental responses and meet and confer, as necessary.
Thanks,
Austa Wakily

I write to address your supplemental responses to Defendants Request for Production of
Documents (Set Two) dated April 30, 2012. After reviewing your objections we have agreed to
certain limitation. A substantial number of deficiencies remain, notably, the fact that your client
has not produced any documents or a privilege log. Nevertheless, we will provide you one more
opportunity to produce all responsive documents, subject to the below limitations no later than
May 15,2012.
Pursuant to our agreement we will file a motion to compel no later than May 18, 2012. We will
extend your deadline to produce documents by_one week to May 22, 2012 if you agreeJo allow_
us to have until May 29, 2012 to file the motion to compeL In light of your failure to produce
documents and a privilege log by April 30, 2012, which was a condition of the April 30

extension, and given your client's history of refusing to comply with discovery requests,
documented in his over forty lawsuits, we cannot agree to any extension beyond May 22,2012

STEPHEN GAGGERO'S ESTATE PLAN
Mr. GaggeroI, fifteen (15) years ago, transferred all of his personal assets, worth $35,000,000,
as part of an estate plan. His estate is comprised of two trusts, one foundation, multiple
partnerships, and multiple corporations. The two trusts are the Giganin Trust and the Arenzano
Trust. The foundation is the Aqua Sante Foundation. The Giganin Trust is a qualified personal
residence trust with the ownership of Mr. Gaggero's primary residence, a 1,500 acre ranch in
Ventura, California. The Aquasante Foundation is believed to be an off-shore foundation that
either owns or manages Mr. Gaggero's trusts and entities. The Arenzano Trust is an off-shore
trust organized under the laws of Anguilla. Typically, with these off-shore trusts, the trustor
purports to give away the legal ownership interests to the trust yet continues to enjoy their full
use and benefit. Additionally, as is the case here, the trustor retains substantial control over the
administration of the trusts and trust property. Mr. Gaggero has testified under penalty of
perjury that he is the asset manager of the two trusts and foundations and all assets within the
estate plan.'; As part of this Mr. Gaggero stated that he is responsible for refinancing, dealing
with tax issues, insurance issues, making decisions to... buy or sell the asset, to improve the
asset, overseeing any improvement to the asset, financing, designing some ultimate disposition
ofthe asset.
Implementing the estate plan involved two steps. First, Mr. Gaggero transferred his assets into a
limited liability company or limited partnership in which he had full ownership either through
shares or membership interests. Second, he transferred his ownership interest in these entities to
one of his trusts or foundation. By 1999 he had absolutely nothing in his personal name.
Immediately after the implementation of the estate plan, Joseph Praske, the estate planning
attorney and trustee of the trusts, appointed Gaggero as the asset manager of all assets within
the estate plan. Although Mr. Gaggero transferred legal title to various entities ownedby trusts
and a foundation- his accountant, James Walter testified under penalty of perjury that the gains
and losses for the assets in the estate plan ultimately flow through Mr. Gaggero's tax returns.
According to Mr. Gaggero's testimony, every asset prior to the completion of his estate plan was
owned 100% by him either by virtue of his membership interest in the company, shares in the
-corporatio.l1s,oroirecftiUefotlie-properly.------ - -. _._- --.. - ------ -
Mr. Gaggero attempts to circumvent KPC's discovery requests by asserting that the trusts are
irrevocable Qr that he is not entitled to any distribution is baseless. There is no doubt that
Mr. Gaggero is the true owner ofthe trust property and has financial interests in the assets within
the estate plan as all gains on the properties flow through his tax returns.

RELEVANCE OF DOCUMENTS REQUESTED
Post-judgment discovery is accorded the widest scope for inquiry concerning property and
business affairs ofthe debtor; the object ofthe proceedings being to compel the judgment debtor
to give infonnation concerning his property. Public policy does not support a judgment debtor's
attempt to be less than candid about his assets and ability to pay the judgment especially when a
defInite legislative policy has established a procedure for aiding judgment creditors' collection of
their judgments. Young v. Keele (1987) 188 CaLApp.3d 1090, 1093.
The critical timeframe in ascertaining Mr. Gaggero's assets is approximately 15 years ago when
he implemented the estate plan. Mr. Gaggero seeks to curtail the scope of discovery to assets in
his personal name after the entry of judgment and in some cases to his current assets. This is
plainly wrong and contrary to case law. Troy v. Superior Court (1986) 186 Cal.App.3d 1006,
1114 Gudgment debtor required to answer questions relating to the transfer of any assets within
the last 10 years). Here, Mr. Gaggero's estate plan was implemented over 15 years ago, thus,
where relevant the requests properly seek documents dating back to the implementation of the
estate plan.
KPC is also entitled to information relating to his business affairs. Troy, supra 186 Cal.App.3d at
1114 citing Martin-Trigona v. Gouletas (7th Cir. 1980) 634 F.2d 354, 360 Gudgment debtor is
obligated to answer questions relating to partners, co-shareholders, co-offIcers and co-directors,
and the contents of a will could reveal the existence and location of assets owned by the
judgment debtor). Additionally, documents relating to a judgment debtor's employment records
for the preceding five years are relevant and proper inquiry for post-judgment discovery. fd.
Continued objections and refusal to provide these documents on grounds of Constitutional right
to privacy, third party privacy, or irrelevance will clearly be in bad faith.
KPC's requests seek documents concerning the following categories, discussed in more detail
below.
.. . ~state-Plan:iequests·l:6,15 seeks docuiiierits-refatirigto llieAIemano Tritst~· Gigariin Trust,
and Aqua Sante Foundation and all entities or assets within the estate plan. Mr. Gaggero
established the estate plan 15 years ago and is the trustor of these trusts and within a class of
benefIciaries. Documents requested in this category seek infQnuatiQU about Mr. Gaggero's
assets that are in the possession and/or control ofa third party.

Assets: requests 14,20,28,30, and 36 seeks documents designed to elicit infonnation about Mr.
Gaggero's current assets, millions of dollars he transferred to third parties, and information about
his ownership interest in the Canada Larga ranch. These documents,will aid KPC in identifying
the present legal title of the properties as well as ascertaining the consideration Mr. Gaggero
received as part ofthe transfer which can be used to satisfy the judgment.
Post-Judgment Discovery: request 16 seeks documents relating to attempts of other judgment
creditors in enforcing their judgment against Mr. Gaggero. We are aware previous judgments
against Mr. Gaggero have been satisfied. KPC is clearly entitled to all documents relating to Mr.
Gaggero's involvement in post-judgment discovery.
Business Entities: requests 18,33-34 seeks documents relating to any entity, broadly defmed as
a corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, general partnership, trusts,
foundation, or other partnership or association in which Mr. Gaggero is an officer or member in
his personal capacity. The requests also seek information relating to any partnership in which
Pacific Coast Management or Avalon Corporation is the general partner.
DUTY TO CONDUCT REASONABLE SEARCH
Although I addressed this during our meet and confer on April 19, 2012, and confrrmed in my
email on the same date, I will repeat it in this letter based on Mr. Gaggero's supplemental
responses. Mr. Gaggero at a minimum must request those documents from Mr. Praske. Mr.
Gaggero cannot place documents within his control to another party and refuse to disclose them
on that basis. Mr. Gaggero retained Mr. Praske as an estate planning attorney to implement his
estate plan. Mr. Gaggero is the trustor of the trusts and continues to exert full control and
influence over Mr. Praske relating to not only the trusts but all assets in the trust. Mr. Gaggero
can request from Mr. Praske, his attorney, all documents relating to the implementation of his
estate plan including the trust documents. Mr. Praske as his attorney has an ethical obligation to
comply with that request.
Mr. Gaggero for requests, 1-5, 7-10, 15, asserts that responsive documents are believed to be
-in.-Mr~Praske'spossessioii -orcontr6l: Firsf,MI. -Gagge:fo~ pmslianf [6-the Code-6fCivil
Procedure Section 2031.230, must affirm that a diligent search and a reasonable inquiIy has
been made in an effort to comply with that demand. To the extent Mr. Gaggero claims that he is
unable to comply, he must state whether the inability to comply is because the partiCUlar item or
category has never existed, has been destroyed, has been lost, misplaced or stolen, or has never
been, or is no longer, in the possession, custody or control ofthe responding party. The statement
shall set forth the name and address of any natural person or organization known or believed by

his trust documents. Clearly he is fully aware whether Mr. Praske has possession of the trust
documents, but is intentionally refusing to comply with his obligation.

PRIVILEGE LOG
California Code of Civil Procedure § 2031.240(b)(1) requires Mr. Gaggero to identify with
particularity documents withheld pursuant to any objection, including but not limited to claims
of privilege. Hernandez v. Superior Court (2003) 112 Cal. App. 4th 285, 291. Mr. Gaggero is
required to set forth clearly the extent of, and the specific ground for, the objection. If an
objection is based on a claim of privilege, the particular privilege invoked shall be stated. If an
objection is based on a claim that the information sought is protected work product under
Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 2018.010), that claim shall be expressly asserted. Code
Civ. Proc. §§ 2031.240(b)(1), (2).
The purpose of a privilege log is to provide a specificfactual description of documents in aid
of substantiating a claim of privilege in connection with a request for document production.
Hernandez, supra 112 Cal. App. 4th 285 at 292 citing Korea Data Systems Co. v. Superior Court
(1997) 51 Cal. App. 4th 1513, 1516-1517. The information in a privilege log or accompanying
any other claim of privilege must be sufficientiy specific to permit the triai court to determine
whether each withheld document is or is not privileged. Kaiser Found. Hosp. v. Superior Court
(1998) 66 Cal. App. 4th 1217, 1228. Gaggero has not established that any ofthe documents he is
seeking to withhold is subject to any privilege.
During our meet and confer you stated you would produce a privilege log, which you have failed
to provide. Please note that objections made to requests for production of documents that do not
exists or are not in the attorney's or party's possession violate an attorney's ethical duty under
the Business and Professions Code to act truthfully and constitute bad faith. Bihun v. ATTInfo.
Sys. (1993) 13 Cal. App. 4th 976, 991 n 5.
Attorney-Client Privilege: The party claiming the attorney-client privilege has the burden of
establishing the preliminary facts necessary to support its exercise, i.e., a communication made
in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Costco Wholesale COlp. v. Superior Court,
(2009) 47 Cal. 4th 725, 733 (citations omitted). KPC's Request for Production of Documents
(Set Two) seeks information relating in part to Mr. Gaggero's estate plan. Mr. Gaggero retained
an estafejJ1anningattomey;1bsephPhiske,m-6r aoourr99Tt6-fuiplemeiit Ills esfate-plaii. Upon-
the completion the estate plan Mr. Praske continued to provide·services to Mr. Gaggero in his
capacity as a trustee and officer of the various entities in which Mr. Gaggero transferred his
assets. Mr. Gaggero has the initial burden ofproviding facts that demonstrate the communication
subject to the attorney client privilege objection was made during the course ofan attorney-client
relationship and not in Mr. Praske's capacity as a trustee or officer of an entity.

-Work Product Privilege: The attorney work product doctrine protects the mental processes of
the attorney. The privilege does not protect notes made by attorney while attorney was acting as
business agent for a client. Watt Industries, Inc. v. Superior Court of City and County ofSan
Francisco (1981) 115 CaLApp.3d 802. Similarly, a report which is not the product of an attorney
or his agents or employees is not an attorney work product, and an attorney cannot, by
retroactive adoption, convert the independent work of another, already performed, into his own.
Bank ofthe Orient v. Superior Court City and County ofSan Francisco ( 1977) 67 CaLApp.3d
588. Information regarding events provable at trial or identity and location of physical evidence
cannot be brought within work product privilege simply by transmitting it to attorney. Mack
v. Superior Court In andFor Sacramento County (1968) 259 Cal.App.2d 7.
Mr. Gaggero, as the party who is seeking to assert this privilege has [t]he burden of showing the
need for such protection. San Diego Professional Assn. v. Superior Court (1962) 58 Cal. 2d
194, 204. Mr. Gaggero must provide a specificfactual description for each document withheld
sufficient to substantiate a claim of privilege in connection with a request for document
production. Hernandez, supra 112 CaL App. 4th 285 at 292 citing Korea Data Systems Co. v.
Superior Court (1997) 51 CaL App. 4th 1513, 1516-1517.
Mr. Gaggero has asserted the attorney client and attorney-work product privilege for every
response without identifying which documents, if any, is subject to a particular privilege.
Additionally, for each response, in addition to the attorney-client and attorney work-product
privilege, Mr. Gaggero asserts numerous other objections. Such objections, as previously
explained, are improper as it provides no explanation as to how the objection is proper or how it
applies in the context used. See, Korea Data Systems Co. Ltd v. Sup. Ct. (Amazing Technologies
Corp.) (1997) 51 Cal. App. 4th 1513, 1516-1517. Mr. Gaggero is required to provide a privilege
log for every response.
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PRIVACY
Constitutional Right to Privacy: Mr. Gaggero asserts in response to each request an objection
based on his and third parties' Constitutional right to privacy. Because Mr. Gaggero failed to
-identirydocuments- ptirsuiinl -tf anydaiID-oCpnvilegeas requrredby Civir -Code Sections
2031.240(b)(1) and (2) it is entirely unclear to what extent or what documents Mr. Gaggero
purports are private. Presumably, these documents relate to Mr. Gaggero's assets, estate plan,
and other finances. As stated above, these documents are directly relevant to KPC's enforcement
oftheir judgment in this case. It is well settled that the right of privacy is not absolute and may
be abridged to accommodate a compelling public interest. Moskowitz v. Superior Court, 137

the estate plan from 2000-2005.
May 10,2012

--,,)
Although Mr. Gaggero was candid about his estate plan in the Gaggero v. Yura trial he has taken
every opportunity to impede KPC's efforts to obtain information relating to that estate plan. He
has provided frivolous objections and no documents in response to any ofKPC's post-judgment
request for production of documents. You are aware that KPC filed a motion to compel
responses to post-judgment special interrogatories. Rather than provide further responses, Mr.
Gaggero appealed the trial court's ruling. Mr. Gaggero even refused to answer the simple
question ofhis current address claiming he had a Constitutional right to privacy.
In fact, it is precisely because of Mr. Gaggero's refusal to provide information about the estate
plan through post-judgment special interrogatories that KPC has been forced to expend time and
resources in requesting documents dating back to the implementation of his estate plan, assets,
and asset transfers. There is no doubt Mr. Gaggero continues to have full access and control over
the assets and money transferred into the estate, yet he has refused to satisfy his legal obligation
toKPC.
Mr. Gaggero has not and cannot set forth a compelling reason to assert the Constitutional right to
privacy on his and third parties behalf in this enforcement proceeding. Mr. Gaggero cannot
selectively assert the Constitutional right to privacy relating to his estate plan when it is to his
benefit.
Finally, because each response includes multiple objections it is entirely unclear whether any
documents have in fact been withheld on this ground. Mr. Gaggero must identify documents
withheld pursuant to the Constitutional right to privacy and identify whether he is asserting it on
his behalfor on behalfof a third party.

SPECIFIC RESPONSES
/)
The following addresses objections asserted for each request other than relevance, attorney-client
privilege, work-product privilege, and/or Constitutional right to privacy which has been
discussed above.
ESTATE PLAN
Request No.1: All DOCUMENTS that RELATE to the Arenzano Trust.
Mr. Gaggero refuses to produce documents on the grounds that (1) that the request is unlimited
as to scope and time, overly broad, unduly burdensome and harassing, and (2) the trust is an
irrevocable trust created 14 years ago, Gaggero does not control the trust, and is not entitled
to any distributions.
As discussed above, Mr. Gaggero's objection that the trust is irrevocable, created 14 years ago,
and that he does not control it or is entitled to any distributions is baseless and an improper
ground to refuse to comply with this request. Mr. Gaggero, after completion of the estate plan
and transfer ofall legal title retained substantial control over the assets. While he now purports to
have no control and it not entitled to distributions he clearly has full control and authority
over the entity or individual that does have control of the trust. In any event, KPC is entitled to
all documents relating to the Arenzano Trust to aid in the enforcement oftheir judgment.
Additionally, to the extent that the request is expansive- it is directly because of Mr. Gaggero's-
decision to implement an estate plan designed to cheat his creditors. We will not limit the time
period for responsive documents; however, we will limit the scope of this request to the
following categories ofdocuments relating to the Arenzano Trust since its inception:
e Arenzano Trust documents or any document establishing the Arenzano Trust;
e Documents that are incorporated by reference or referred to in the Arenzano Trust
documents, but which do not constitute the Arenzano Trust documents;
e Amendments, revisions, or modifications to the Arenzano Trust;

fmancing, sale, transfer, or exchange;

• Registration of the Trust documents with a registrar, company, department of foreign
ministries, or Anguilla's Commercial Online Registration Network system (ACORN);

irrevocable trust created 13 years ago, Mr. Gaggero does not control it, and is not entitled to
any distributions.
We are aware, as you know, that Mr. Gaggero transferred his ownership interest in his 3,500 acre
ranch to the Giganin trust and is the beneficiary of the trust. KPC is entitled to all documents
relating to the Giganin Trust to determine Mr. Gaggero's interests in the property. Mr.
Gaggero's remaining objections are without merit.
We will not agree to limit the time period for responsive documents, however, we will, agree to
limit the scope of this request to the following categories of documents relating to the Giganin
Trust since its inception:
• Giganin Trust documents and any document implementing the Giganin Trust;
• Documents that are incorporated by reference or referred to in the Giganin Trust
documents; but which do not constitute the Giganin Trustdocuments;

Request No.3: All DOCUMENTS that RELATE to the Aquasante Foundation.
Mr. Gaggero refuses to produce documents on the grounds that (1) that the request is unlimited
as to scope and time, overly broad, unduly burdensome and harassing, (2) the trust is an
irrevocable trust created 14 years ago, Mr. Gaggero does not control it, and is not entitled to
any distributions.
Mr. Gaggero identified the Aquasante Foundation as the foundation that is part ofhis estate plan.
KPC is entitled to documents that will reveal information about the foundation, jurisdiction of
the foundation, and Mr. Gaggero's interest, rights, and assets in the foundation, whether direct or
indirect via his entities and trusts.
We will not agree to limit the time period for responsive documents, however, we will, agree to
limit the scope ofthis request to the following categories of documents relating to the Aquasante
Foundation:

Request No.4: All DOCUMENTS that·RELATE to any trust or foundation that is part ofYOUR
ESTATE PLAN
Mr. Gaggero refuses to produce documents because (1) definition of Estate Plan is overly
broad and imposes a 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.
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 of KPC'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.
We will, however, agree to limit to this request to the following categories of documents,
regardless ofhis present income interest, relating to the Estate Plan:
1. Trusts in which Mr. Gaggero is or was the trustor, trust protector, trust advisor, at any
time since January 1, 1997;

2. Trusts in which Mr. Gaggero is or was the trust manager or asset manager for the

and in which he has authority relating to the disposition, sale, exchange, transfer, or

Declaration of Establishment, Foundation Charter and/or by-laws, and documents referencing
Mr. Gaggero. For the items above relating to the production of Trust documents KPC seeks the
Trust documents, letter of wishes, memorandum of wishes, and any documents referencing Mr.
Gaggero.

We will not agree to any further time limitations as this request seeks information relating to the
assets, estimated at $30,000,000 by Mr. Gaggero, prior to the completion of the estate plan.
Additionally, this request seeks documents prior to 1997 based on Mr. Gaggero's testimony that

The request is limited to any trust in which Mr. Gaggero is the trust protector- the request is

request seeks documents that relate to any post-judgment discovery. We will agree to exclude
from this request any communications relating to Mr. Gaggero's responses with his attorneys,
however, KPC is entitled to the post-judgment discovery propounded to Mr. Gaggero, Mr.
Gaggero's responses, and any documents produced in response to any post-judgment discovery.

discovery involving Mr. Gaggero. Of course, we will exclude from this request post-judgment
discovery served in the present collection efforts.

confer were not in good faith and that you had no inte)1tion of resolving any discovery disputes
without court intervention. Further, as you know, we are well aware of Mr. Gaggero's delay
.tactics and abuse ofthe litigation and discovery process. Nevertheless, we provide you with this
limited opportunity to comply with' KPC's request for production of documents, subject to the
above limitations, no later than May 15, 2012. Again, because you have reneged on your

Request for Production of Documents (Set Two)
Ijust spoke with Ms. Masters regarding the Request for Production of Documents (Set Two) and the protective order
requested in the debtor examination. First, Ms. Masters stated that you were seeking a 2 day extension to respond to
the Request for Production of Documents. She indicated that you would produce documents, however, that was not
clear. Nevertheless, I agreed to the 2 day extension conditioned on a similar extension for our motion to compel. The
deadline to respond to Request for Production of Documents (Set Two) as revised in my meet and confer dated May 10,
2012 will be extended from May 22, 2012 to May 24, 2012. Our new deadline to file a motion to compel is May 31,
2012. There has been substantia! de!ays in producing responsive documents so this wi!! be our !ast extension.
Ms. Masters also inquired whether we would be willing to reconsider our position to the protective order in the debtor
exam. While we remain willing to address Mr. Gaggero's right to privacy we cannot agree to the protective order as you
have filed. First, the debtor examination proceedings are public and there is no compelling interest to justify excluding
the public in this case. Second, the protective order seeks to preclude KPC from using the debtor examination in any
other proceeding, including in defending against the present malpractice case. We cannot agree to those unreasonable
restrictions. At this time we plan to oppose the motion, however, we are willing to discuss a protective order agreeable
to both parties:
Sincerely,
Austa Wakily

Dear Mr. Chatfield,
During our previous meet and confer you stated that you would produce some documents and a privilege log by April
3D, 2012. We have received neither of those. We are not interested in pushing the deadlines solely to delay the
discovery. As I state in my letter- we will provide you with a one week extension and upon the showing of some good
faith effort by your client to comply with post-judgment discovery we can discuss further extensions. Please confirm
whether you would like the one week extension at this time.
Sincerely,
Austa

This letter is in short response to your letter ofMay 10,2012, that was not received by me until May 14,2012
and, because of that, I was unable to provide you with a substantive response by the May 15,2012 to the
deadline. A more lengthy response will follow under separate cover to address in more detail the assertions
made in your May 10, 2012 letter. Attached to this letter are some documents responsive to your Requests for
--Production,-we are-still gathering documents-thatwill-beprodueedin-thenearfuture;-In-addition, we intendto - - _. -..
produce additional documents after the court enters a protective order in this matter. We have filed a motion for
protective order because you have not agreed to stipulate to a protective order relating to the discovery in this
matter. Ifyou are willing to stipulate to the Court's entry of the proposed protective order we have filed with the
Court let me know.
At this time we are in the process of completing the second supplemental response to KPC's Second Set of
Production responses that have been modifiedandlor limited-by your May 10, 2012 letter including our -
~--,s=ta=tement of comQIiance and additional comQIiance conditioned u:gon§ntry ofthe :grotective order. I ex:gect to
have the second supplemental responses completed by tomorrow at which time I will be sending it to our client
for review, comments and/or verification. As soon as I receive back a returned verification to the responses I
will send them to you.
Very truly yours,
David Blake Chatfield

RE: Gaggero v. Knapp, Petersen  Clarke
Pursuant to our agreement, documented in my emails to you and your response, we agreed to extend your deadline to
respond to the meet and confer to May 22, 2012 and then another extension to May 24, 2012. You are well aware that
the deadline was no longer May 15, 2012 and have had considerable time to reply given that the requests were served
on January 31, 2012 and your assurance that you would provide documents and a privilege log by April 30, 2012.
With respect to the protective order- we would have appreciated the professional courtesy of an informal attempt to
reach an agreement without the necessity of filing a protective order. I briefly reviewed the protective order in which
you state that you attempted to meet and confer regarding a protective order on the request for production of
documents on May 1, 2010. In support of your motion you include false statements about the our May 1, 2012
telephone conversation. You called me on May 1, 2012 for two reasons both relating to the debtor examination of Mr.
Gaggero set on May 9, 2012. First, you stated that neither you or Mr. Gaggero was available for the debtor exam
scheduled on May 9, 2012. Second, you requested a protective order with respect to the debtor examination. You did
not provide any explanation justifying either request and on that basis I disagreed. You filed that protective order 3 days
later to obstruct our efforts to take the debtor examination of Mr. Gaggero. At no time did you discuss a protective
order for the Request for Production of Documents (Set Two).
Your assistant Dawn Masters called me to request that I reconsider my position relating to the protective order for the
debtor examination. My email to you and Ms. Masters on May 21, 2012 at 4:16 pm documents our conversation and
addresses the protective order for the debtor examination.
Nevertheless, we will file the motion to compel in light of your client's continued refusal to cooperate in post-judgment
discovery. We can resolve all issues relating to the protective order before the Court. Finally, we will supplement our
motion for post-judgment enforcement costs to reflect the additional costs incurred as a result of Mr. Gaggero's tactics.
Sincerely,
Austa

Dear Ms. Wakily,
This letter is in short response to your letter ofMay 10,2012, thatwas not received by me until May 14,2012
and, because ofthat, I was unable to provide you with a substantive response by the May 15,2012 to the
deadline. A more lengthy response will follow under separate cover to address in more detail the assertions
made in your May 10, 2012 letter. Attached to this letter are some documents responsive to your Requests for
Production, we are still gathering documents that will be produced in the near future. In addition, we intend to
produce additional documents after the court enters a protective order in this matter. We have filed a motion for
protective order because you have not agreed to stipulate to a protective order relating to the discovery in this
matter. Ifyou are willing to stipulate to the Court's entry ofthe proposed protective order we have filed with the
Court let me know.
At this time we are in the process of completing the second supplemental response to KPC's Second Set of
Production responses that have been modified andlor limited by your May 10, 2012 letter, including our
statement of compliance and additional compliance conditioned upon entry ofthe protective order. I expect to
have the second supplemental responses completed by tomorrow at which time I will be sending it to our client
for review, comments andlor verification. As soon as I receive back a returned verification to the responses I
will send them to you.
Very truly yours,

Mr. Chatfield,
Your deadline to produce the documents and privilege log was April 30, 2012 and extended based on the narrowed
scope of requests to May 24, 2012 (yesterday). There is simply no basis to rely on your further assurances that you will
comply or are in the process of complying rather than actual compliance. We have expended substantial time and
energy in our efforts to obtain the documents we requested on January 31, 2012. Finally, we fully intend to recoup all
costs that have been incurred as a result of your client's abuse of the meet and confer process.

Dear Ms. Wakily,
I'm sure that you must do what you have been instructed to do. Your threatened motion to compel appears to be
unwarranted, premature, and punitive. As stated previously, our second supplemental responses that we are preparing to
send out to you will state whether any documents are being withheld under a claim of privilege and will identify any such
documents as required by c.c.P. 2031.240. We again ask that you reconsider your threatened actions. If there are issues
that still need to be resolved, after you receive the second supplemental set of responses and document production in
progress, then we do so informally utilizing the required meet and confer process.

1 I. INTRODUCTION

assets, worth $35,000,000, into corporations, general partnerships, limited partnership, limited
liability companies, and self-settled trusts as part of an estate plan. Implementing the estate plan
involved two steps. First, Gaggero transferred his assets into a limited liability company or limited
partnership in which he owned completely. Second, he transferred his ownership interest in those
entities to one ofhis trusts or foundation. Gaggero's primary residence, a 3,500 acre ranch, is also
owned by one of these trusts. By 1999 he had absolutely nothing in his personal name.
Consequently, he conducts all personal and business matters through his trusts or business entities.
Gaggero continues to exert full control over all of the assets in the estate as the asset manager
and has absolute authority to command payment ofmoney by the trusts.
With the assistance of his attorneys, David ChatfIeld and Joseph Praske, Gaggero has used
this estate plan to avoid his obligation on a $1,520,943.30 judgment, now over $2,000,000, entered
against him by this Court. Gaggero has not only boldly touted his estate plan impenetrable, but he
and his attorneys have steadfastly refused to respond to post-judgment discovery claiming that the
information relating to his trusts or entities is irrelevant, invades third party privacy rights,
attorney client privilege, and other frivolous objections. When pushed - he simply claims to have
no responsive documents or information, then appeals. When ordered by this Court to provide
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
further responses - Gaggero disregarded it in its entirety. Gaggero's behavior is entirely consistent
with this Court's observations in the underlying trial. This Court, for exari:lple, found Gaggero,
was often argumentative or evasive or deliberately obtuse in his answers. Gaggero was wildly
evasive [w]hen asked about his various trusts, foundations, corporations and other entities
supposedly created as part of his estate plan~ The Court noted similar credibility issues for
Gaggero's attorney, ChatfIeld. This motion seeks to remedy that tack.

1 and his counseL Basic discovery designed to ferret out the structure of Gaggero's assets have
2 been met with frivolous responses and antagonism by Gaggero and his attorney, Chatfield. KPC is
3 further discouraged by the fact that the transfers occurred in 1997- beyond the limitations period
4 for fraudulent conveyance.

Ironically, the Court may recall, it was Gaggero who insisted on attorney fees provisions
in all his attorney-client retainer agreements (he has hired and fired dozens of lawyers), including
those with defendant, KPC, whom he - according to the Gaggero script - sued for legal
malpracticefor every matter they ever represented him. Gaggero's modus operandi was to use the
attorney fee provision to whipsaw his former counsel into favorable resolutions after he sued
them, yet when hoisted on his own petard, Gaggero unabashedly asserted·that his assets were
impervious to execution. Such a one-way street cannot stand.
Fortunately, the California Legislature enacted Civil Code Section 187 to address precisely
this situation. Section 187 grants courts the authority to use all necessary means to carry its
jurisdiction into effect, even those not provided for by statute, to compel obedience to its
judgments, orders, and process. Under the plain language of Section 187 and case law interpreting
the statute this Court has broad authority to amend the judgment to add Gaggero's alter egos.
Pursuant to Section 187, KPC seeks to add Gaggero's trusts and foundation as judgment
debtors through Praske, as the trustee. KPC also seeks to pierce seven business entities controlled
19 by Gaggero: one corporation and six limited partnerships and limited liability companies. Pacific
20 Coast Management, a Nevada corporation, is in essence Gaggero's personal bank account, and

9 A. UNDERLYING MALPRACTICE ACTION RESULTING IN JUDGMENT
AGAINST GAGGERO
10
11 Gaggero retained the law firm ofKnapp, Petersen  Clarke to handle a number ofmatters,
12 including five lawsuits that are the basis ofthe underlying judgment. The cases included: Gaggero
13 v. Venice North Beach Coalition (VNC) which involved a malicious prosecution case filed by
14 against a group of homeowners who unsuccessfully opposed one of his real estate developments.
15 The suit was dismissed as a result of an anti-SLAPP motion and VNBC was awarded
16 approximately $100,000 in attorneys' fees (approximately 150,000 at the time Gaggero retained
17 KPC); Gaggero v. Stacey involved a lawsuit filed by Gaggero against the attorney who handled
18 the VNBC matter for legal malpractice. KPC obtained a $350,000 judgment for Gaggero; First

Gaggero, in or about 1997, began the creation of an estate plan to protect his substantial
wealth. (Id., ,-r 4, Exb.. Cat 94:10-15, 95:3-9). Gaggero worked with his estate planning attorney,
Praske, to transfer all assets and property he personally owned, including his 3,500 acre personal
residence, to various limited liability companies, general partnerships, limited partnerships, and.
corporations. (ld., ,-r 7, Exb.. F pp. 935-939). Gaggero fIrst transferred all his assets into limited
liability companies and limited partnerships. (Id., ,-r 4, Exb.. C at 96:9-19). Every asset that
Gaggero owned prior to the completion ofhis estate plan was owned 100% by him either by virtue
of his membership interest in the company, shares in the corporations, or direct title to the
property. (Id., ,-r 4, Exh. C at 100:10-14). Gaggero transferred approximately $35,000,000 to
$40,000,000 from his personal portfolio to an entity. (ld., ,-r 4, Exh. C at 104:22-26). Upon
Gaggero's transfer of his assets to the various entities he would transfer his full ownership
interests in those companies to one ofhis trusts. (ld., ,-r 7, Exh. F at 935:23-28, 936:1). At the end

ofthe day, all of Gaggero's property was held by either a limited partnership or a limited liability
company, which in tum, is owned by one ofhis trusts. (Id., ,-r 7, Exh. F at 937:1-7). As of2005 the
value ofthe assets in the estate has increased substantially. (Id.,,-r 7, Exb.. F at 942:8-10).
Gaggero's estate is comprised of three trusts (two trusts and one foundation), multiple
-- - -- - -- - _. - - - -
partnerships, and multiple corporations. (Id., ,-r 5, Exb.. D at 309:19-21). The three trusts are the
Giganin Trust, Arenzano Trust, and Aqua Sante Foundation. (Id., ,-r 7, Exb.. F at 936:25-28). The
27 personal residence is owned by another one of Gaggero's trusts, either the Arenzano Trust or:------~-l-

Aquasante Foundation. (Id., 'i[4, Exh. C at 91:10-15). The Arenzano Trust is an off-shore trust
organized under the laws ofAnguilla -known for its strong asset protection laws. (Id., 'i[20, Exh. S
at 69:1-11). The Aqua Sante Foundation is the third trust identified by Praske and Gaggero as
comprising Gaggero's estate. (ld., 'i[7, Exh. F at 936:25-28). All of Gaggero's assets have been
transferred to an entity that is owned by one ofthese three trusts. (Id., 'i[7, Exh. F at 937:1-7). All
of Gaggero's personal and business matters are handled through his alter ego entities. In fact, one
of the entities owned by Gaggero's trusts pays his utility bills, food expenses, dog's veterinary
bills, and provides him with a car. (ld., 'i['i[12, l3, 20, Exh. K at 69:22-28; Exh. L at 47:9-10; Exh.
Sat 80:21-25,81:1-4).
Praske, as the trustee of the trusts, has control over all the entities and assets in the estate
plan. (Id., 'i[5, Exh. D at 3l3: 12-14). Praske is the trustee ofthe trusts or foundation that owns the
shares to the corporations. (Id., 'i[5, Exh. D at 3l3:1-8). He is the trustee, managing member, or
majority membership owner with 100% ownership of all the various entities. (Id., 'i[ 5, Exh. D at
3l3:1-8). Praske's role, however, is limited to advice. (Id., 'i[10, Exh. I at 4028:11-15).
Gaggero has retained control over his wealth as the asset manager of all the assets. (Id., 'i[
5, Exh. D at 314:4-7) (emphasis added). In this capacity, Gaggero is in charge of refinancing,
dealing with tax issues, insurance issues, making decisions to... buy or sell the asset, to improve
the asset, overseeing any improvement to the asset, financing, designing some ultimate disposition
19 of the asset. (Id., 'i[4, Exh. Cat 110:12-19). Gaggero makes determination as to the highest and
20 best use of all the assets. (Id., 'i[ 4, Exh. C at 115:15-20). He also represented the trust in
21 negotiating the purchase of a $1,500,000 ocean front property in Santa Monica. (Id., 'i[4, Exh. Cat
22 110:3-9). According to Praske, Gaggero is the decisionmaker with respect to all the real estate
- - --- - -~- --- --- - -- --- - -- - -- - - - - -
23 held in the estate plan and he looks to him in making those determinations. (Id., 'i['i[8, 10, Exh. G at

1 Aqua Sante Foundation. (Id, ~ 7, Exh. F pp. 994-995). He is the beneficiary of the Giganin Trust
2 in the sense that it is his personal residence. (Id., ~ 7, Exh. F at 937:24-28). Praske is the trustee of
3 all three trusts. (Id, ~ 7, Exh. F at 995:18-19). Praske was retained by all of the entities that
4 comprised part of Gaggero's estate. (Id, ~ 7, Exh. F at 905:1-2). The trusts own entities created
5 by Gaggero for the sole purpose of owning real property. (Id, ~ 20, Exh. S pp. 40-49, 53-55).
6 Praske is the agent for service of process for all entities associated with Gaggero. (Id, ~~ 16-17,
7 Exh. 0, P). The business addresses ofthe various entities are also identical. (Id, ~~ 16-17, Exh. 0,
8 P). While there are numerous other entities and trusts that are part of Gaggero's estate, KPC, has
9 sufficient evidence to support the alter ego liability for the trusts and entities identified in this
10 motion. KPC will file additional motions to amend this judgment, as necessary, to pierce
11 Gaggero's asset protection plan.
12 C. POST-JUDGMENT DISCOVERY EFFORTS
13 Because Gaggero transferred all ownership interest in his assets to various entities, trusts,
14 and foundation he refuses to respond to post-judgment discovery asserting that he has no
15 attachable interest. (Id, ~ 18, Exh. Q). Gaggero further asserts that any information related to his
16 corporations, partnerships, trusts or foundation are irrelevant and violate the privacy rights of third
17 parties. (Id, ~~ 18-19, Exh. Q, R).
18 KPC, after numerous appeals and stays in the underlying matter, served post-judgment
19 Special Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents (Set One) on April 25, 2011.
20 Despite a three week extension, Gaggero did not produce any documents in response to the
21 Requests. (Id, ~ 18). With respect to the special interrogatories, Gaggero provided evasive and
22 frivolous responses. (Id, ~ 18, Exh. Q). KPC filed a motion to compel further responses to post-
23 judgment special interrogatories on August 9, 2011. This Court granted the motion to compel on- - - - - - - 1

3 Gaggero and extension to March 20, 2012 to accommodate his travel/vacation schedule. (Id., ~
4 19). Gaggero again failed to produce any documents including only boilerplate and improper
5 objections based on relevance and invasion of privacy. (Id., ~ 19, Exh. R). Further post-judgment
6 discovery propounded to Gaggero will be similarly futile without amendment ofjudgment.

GAGGERO'S ALTER EGOS AS JUDGMENT DEBTORS
1. Courts Have Inherent Authority to Prevent Frustration, Abuse, Or Disregard
of Their Process
13 Every court has the power to compel obedience to its judgments, orders, and process in an
14 action or proceeding pending before it, and to use all necessary means to carry its jurisdiction
15 into effect, even if those means are not specifically pointed out in statutes. Code Civ. Proc. §187;
16 Fairfield v. Superior Court fa! Los Angeles County (1966) 246 Cal. App. 2d 113, 120 (emphasis
17 added). In order to see that justice is done, great liberality is encouraged in allowing amendments
18 brought pursuant to Section 187. Misik v. DArco (2011) 197 Cal. App. 4th 1065, 1075. Section
19 187 authorizes a court to amend its judgment to impose liability upon an alter ego who had control
20 ,ofthe litigation, and was therefore represented in it. Alexander v. Abbey ofthe Chimes (1980) 104
21 Cal.App.3d 39, 45. Here, Gaggero clearly has full control of the estate plan and continues to
22 access all its resources as he sees fit. The trusts and entities in Gaggero's estate are his alter egos
23 and shoull be -alcled- as judgment debtors. Thls judgmfmt has little, if any, effect without an
24 amendment to the judgment piercing Gaggero's estate plan.

(2010) 191 CaLAppAth 486, 517. Although the doctrine is most often applied to corporations, it
also applies to trusts. Id at 520-521; In re SchwarzkopJ(9th Cir.2010) 626 F.3d 1032, 1037-1040.
Because a trust is not a legal entity, the proper procedure to reach trust property is to sue the
trustee in his or her representative capacity. Galdjie v. Darwish (2003) 113 CaLAppAth 1331,
1343. Additionally, equitable. ownership in a trust is sufficient to meet the ownership requirement
for purposes of alter ego liability. Id at 1339. KPC, therefore, seeks to add Joseph Praske, as
trustee ofGaggero's trusts.
Alter ego liability exists when two conditions are met: First, there is such a unity ofinterest
and ownership that the individuality, or separateness, ofthe individual and corporation has ceased;
and, Second, adherence to the fiction ofthe separate existence ofthe corporation would sanction a
fraud or promote injustice. Greenspan, supra 191 Cal.AppAth. at 511. Factors suggesting an alter
ego relationship include, in part: the identical equitable ownership in the two entities; the
treatment by an individual of the assets of the corporation as his own; the use of the same office
or business location; the employment of the same employees and/or attorney; the use of a
corporation as a mere shell, instrumentality or conduit for a single venture or the business of an
individual or another corporation; the concealment and misrepresentation of the identity of the
responsible ownership, management and fmancial interest, or concealment of personal business
18 activities; the disregard of legal formalities and the failure to maintain arm's length relationships
19 among related entities; the diversion of assets from a corporation by or to a stockholder or other
20 person or entity, to the detriment of creditors, or the manipulation of assets between entities so as
21 to concentrate the assets in one and the liabilities in another and; commingling of funds and other
22 assets and failure to segregate funds of the separate entities. See Associated Vendors, Inc. v.
23 Oakland Meat Co., Inc. (1962) 210 CaLApp.2d 825, 838-840 (citations omitted). Because not-----~-~--~~-I

1 Applying the above factors, there is no doubt that the trusts comprising Gaggero's estate
2 plan are his alter egos. As stated above, the plan took several months to implement and involved
3 two key steps. First, Gaggero transferred all his assets to corporations, limited liability companies,
4 or limited partnerships in which he had 100% ownership interest. (Id., ~ 4, Exh. Cat 100:10-14).
5 Second, Gaggero transferred his ownership interests in the various business entities in one of his
6 three self-settled trusts. (Jd., ~~ 4,7, Exh. C at 100:10-14; Exh. F pp. 936). Gaggero, at the end of
7 the day, concealed all his assets in an entity owned by his trusts. By implementing the estate plan
8 Gaggero is forcing his creditors to penetrate multiple layers of sham entities in order to ultimately
9 pierce his estate plan. All of his personal and investment matters are handled through the sham
10 entities that are owned by his trusts.
11 Gaggero's various trusts, foundation, and business entities are all part of one estate plan
12 (his estate). The trusts and entities in his estate plan constitute a single enterprise and have no
13 separate identity. (Id., ~ 6, Exh. E at 617:8-14). When asked how he would take title to a property,
14 Gaggero stated I could take this asset in my name, transfer it to an entity, a limited liability
15 company, a limited partnership, a general partnership, or a corporation, and then have one of the
16 trusts or the foundation subsume... that entity into the estate plan, just like I did the other
17 properties in 1997 and 1998. (Id., ~ 6, Exh. E at 617:8-14). Gaggero does not distinguish between
18 the different trusts or foundation in the estate plan, nor does he distinguish between the entities in
1----------------------- -~---------- ---------~-- --------~ -- ---------- --- --------~---- - ------ --------------------- --- -- - ------------------- ----
19 the estate plan. Gaggero, in purchasing a property or asset, looks at the liquidity ofthe trust at the
20 time in determining how to acquire the property within his estate. (Jd., ~ 4, Exh. Cat 119:13-23).
21 Finally, all gains on the properties flow through Gaggero's tax returns via the trusts and all other
22 entities. (Id., ~ 10, Exh. I at 4035:4-7).
23 Gaggero also has retained full control over all assets in the trusts as the asset manager. (Id.,
1----------1
24 ~~ 4, 9, Em. C at 120:2-6, 121:22-23; Exh. H pp. 3426). Gaggero testified that he always had

26_trllst. (Id., '11_ 4~ Exh. C at 120:2-?, 121:22-23). With respect to his ability to!,urchasea
27$1,100,000 ocean front property GaggerQ testified that [a]t all times I commanded the
28

,
)
1 resources to purchase this all cash or with a mortgage, and if there happened to be a 1031
2 exchange opportunity available, I would have exchanged it into one of the entities that were
3 owned by my trust. (Id, .~ 9, Exh. H pp. 3426-3427). Again, Gaggero looked at the estate as a
4 whole in determining how to acquire additional property.
5 Gaggero as the asset manager has authority to negotiate on behalf ofthe trust to purchase
6 properties. (Id, ~ 4, Exh. C at 110:3-9). He is in charge of refmancing, dealing with tax issues,
7 insurance issues, making decisions to buy or sell the asset, to improve the asset, overseeing any
8 improvement to the asset, fmancing, designing some ultimate disposition of the asset. (Id, ~ 4,
9 Exh. C at 110:12-19). Gaggero makes all decisions with respect to all the real estate held in the
10 estate plan and Praske follows his recommendations. (Id, ~ 8, Exh. Gat 1002:25..28). Ultimately,
11 all assets in the estate plan are controlled by Gaggero, as the equitable owner and asset manager.
12 (Id, ~ 8, Exh. Gat 1002:16-28, 1003:1-3).
13 Finally, both Gaggero and Praske refer to the trusts, foundation, entities, and its assets as
14 constituting Gaggero's estate plan or Gaggero's personal estate. (Id, ~~ 7, 9, Exh. F at
15 936:25-28; Exh. H at 3426: 5-8). Gaggero refers all assets within the estate plan as his assets or
16 my assets. (Id, ~ 6, Exh. E at 617:3-7). Praske also refers to the trusts as belonging to Gaggero.
17 (Id, ~ 7, Exh. F pp. 936-937). For example, in a declaration Praske stated that he is the trustee of
18 Gaggero's personal estate which has funds well in excess of $1,100,000. (Id, ~ 14, Exh. M).
19 Praske also described the Arenzano Trust, Giganin Trust, and Aqua Sante Foundation as the three
20 Trusts that are part of Gaggero's estate. (Id, ~~ 7, 14, Exh. F at 936:24-28; Exh. M). Gaggero
21 should not be permitted to access the funds and resources in his estate plan, which are clearly
22 under his control when it is to his benefit, but hide behind the same estate plan when it is to his
..•
23 detriment. The Giganin Trust, Arenzano Trust, and Aqua Sante Foundation, should therefore be
24 added as judgment debtors via Praske as the trustee.

One of the corporations identified by Gaggero as part of the estate plan is Pacific Coast
Management (PCM). (ld., , 12, Exh. K at 39:17-21). Gaggero uses his alter ego, PCM to write
checks on his behalf so as to avoid retaining any assets in his personal name, including a personal
bank account. (ld, , 13, Exh. L at 47:9-10). Gaggero provides PCM money and PCM writes
check on his behalf. (Id, '13, Exh. L at 47:9-10). Checks were written by PCM. I paid for it. I
give PCM the money. PCM writes the checks. They write checks for me. They pay my utilities.
They pay my credit card, they pay for my dog's vet bills. I mean PCM manages my life. They
are a management company for me personally. (Id, ,12, Exh. Kat 69:22-28(emphasis added)..
P.C.M. only manages my estates, entities, and assets (ld, , 13, Exh. L. at 47:9-10)
(emphasis added).
Although PCM pays for all of Gaggero's personal expenses and manages his life
Gaggero could not answer basic questions·relating the entity. Gaggero did not know whether PCM
had Articles of Incorporation, whether there were officers or directors, if he was a director, and
when it was formed. (Id, , 12, Exh. K pp. 37- 39). PCM's in house counsel, Chatfield, similar
did not know basic information relating to the entities, including the ownership, place of
incorporation, and the entities that retained him as an in-house counsel. (Id, '2, Exh. A pp. 13-
14). PCM, clearly was established by Gaggero as part of the estate plan designed to evade
creditors and has been used as his alter ego. Since PCM is willing to provide Gaggero money and
19 resources to pursue countless lawsuits, PCM should not have a problem paying adverse judgments
20 that arise from those lawsuits. PCM, therefore, should be added as a judgment debtor.

10 created as part of Gaggero's estate plan for the sole purpose of moving his property out creditors
11 reach. The entities, thus, should be disregarded and added as judgment debtors. (ld., ~ 4, Exh. C at

13 Less than one year after establishing the above companies, Gaggero established Malibu

E. PRESERVING THE SEPARATE EXISTENCE OF THE CORPORATIONS
AND GAGGERO WILL SANCTION A FRAUD AND PRODUCE AN UNJUST
RESULT
The second requirement for application ofthe alter ego doctrine is fmding that the facts are
such that adherence to the fiction of the separate existence of the corporation would sanction a
fraud or promote injustice. Greenspan, supra 191 Cal.App.4th. at 511. The test for this
requirement is that ifthe acts are treated as those ofthe corporation alone, it will produce an unjust
or inequitable result. Mesler v. Bragg Management Co. (1985) 39 Cal.3d 290, 300. In this case
allowing Gaggero to avoid his obligation through the use of his estate plan, set up to shield his
personal assets from creditors, will result in an injustice to KPC and other creditors. Gaggero
created the estate plan 15 years ago foreclosing claims for fraudulent conveyance. Additionally,
piercing Gaggero's estate plan is likely to deter his continued disregard ofthis Court's orders and
other court orders.

1 1. Pacific Coast Management Corporation
2 Pacific Coast Management isa Nevada corporation. (Id, ~ 19, Exh. R). Nevada law
3 recognizes reverse corporate piercing as an appropriate avenue to impose liability on a judgment
4 debtor's alter ego. The application of the doctrine is especially appropriate when the judgment
5 debtor uses an entity to hide assets or secretly conduct business as part of an attempt to avoid his
6 pre-existing liability. LFC Marketing Group, Inc. v. Loomis (2000) 116 Nev. 896, 903. As
7 discussed in detail above Pacific Coast Management, as an entity that manages Gaggero's life, is
8 clearly subject to alter ego liability. Because it is a Nevada corporation, and Nevada recognizes
9 reverse corporate piercing, Pacific Coast Management can properly be added as a judgment
10 debtor.!
11 2. Limited Liability Companies and Limited Partnerships
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
Under California law an entity or series of entities created with no business purpose and
simply as a means of shielding personal assets from creditor is viewed as the alter ego of the
individual debtor and will be disregarded to prevent injustice. In re Turner, Bkrtcy. (N.D. Cal
2005) 335 B.R. 140, 146. California also recognizes the application of reverse-piercing to impose
alter ego liability against a corporation for a judgment incurred by its sole shareholder. Taylor v.
Newton (1953) 117 CaLApp.2d 752, 758-60; See e.g. Fleet Credit Corp. v. TML Bus Sales, Inc.
(9th Cir.1995) 65 F.3d 119, 120 (it is beyond cavil that an inequitable result would follow were
19 the Court to permit the judgment debtor to shield himself with corporate form); But see Postal
20 Instant Press, Inc. v. Kaswa Corp. (2008) 162 CaLApp.4th 1510, 1518 (court refused to apply
21 reverse piercing where judgment creditors sought to use corporate assets to collect on a former
22 shareholder's personal debt).
23 California more recently addressed reverse-piercing in Postal Instant Press, Inc. supra,
1 - - - - - - - - 1
24 162 CaLAppAth at 1518. The judgment creditors in Postal Instant Press sought to use a

1 apply reverse piercing because (1) the corporate form 'was .not being ririsused; (2) innocent
2 shareholders of the corporation would be adversely affected by a decision that would require a
3 corporation to pay for the debts'of an individual shareholder, and (3) the judgment creditors had
4 sufficient h?gal remedies to pursue without the necessity of reverse piercing. Id. at 1522-1523.
5 Postal Instant Press does not address the situation, as is here, where an individual uses a
6 corporation or other entity as an alter ego to shelter personal assets rather than the other way
7 around. Postal Instant Press is inapposite.

Assuming, however, that Postal Instant Press applies to Gaggero's business entities, KPC
meets the standards to justify its application. Postal Instant Press recognized that there may be
circumstances in which reverse piercing is acceptable. Id. at 1524. To apply reverse piercing ~C
must show that innocent creditors would be adequately protected ·and that there are inadequate
legal remedies. Id. Here, there are no innocent shareholders. The trusts; foundation, and entities
are part of Gaggero's estate plan and are merely his alter ego. He established the entities to
shelter his wealth and continues to have full access and control over his assets. (Id., , 4, Exh. C at
120:2-6, 121:22-23). Second, because tht;: transfers occurred in 1997 KPC cannot pursue claims
for fraudulent transfer. Thus, to the extent this case involves the application of reverse corporate
piercing, it is appropriate and within this ·Court's authority.

    a.. .....J .....J 0::: W .....J .....J 'i/ 1 TO ALLPARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD: 2 Please take notice that on July 20, 2012 at 1:30 a.m. at 111 North Hill Street, Los 3 Angeles, California 90012 or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, Defendants and 4 Judgment Creditors Knapp, Petersen and Clarke, Stephen Ray Garcia, Stephen Harris, and Andre 5 Jardini (KPC) will move this Court to compel Judgment Debtor, Stephen Gaggero to produce 6 documents in response to KPC's Request for Production of Documents (Set Two). This motion is 7 made pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 2023.010 and 2031.010, et seq. on the 8 following grounds: 9 1. KPC is entitled to the documents requested in Request for Production of 10 Documents (Set Two). Each request is designed to elicit information that will assist KPC in 11 enforcing their judgment. Mr. Gaggero has failed to provide a proper basis for withholding the 12 13 14 15 16 documents and has failed to substantial his claims ofprivilege or objections. 2. Mr. Gaggero, aided by his attorney, David Chatfield, has abused the discovery process by making, without substantial justification, unmeritorious objection and evasive responses to discovery. Mr. Gaggero and Mr. Chatfield's objections were solely to delay and obstruct KPC's post-judgment discovery. KPC therefore requests sanctions in the amount of 17 $5,000 and an award of attorney fees in bringing this motion in the amount of $10,840 jointly 18 against Mr. Gaggero and Mr. Chatfield. 19 This motion is based upon this notice of motion and motion, the attached memorandum of 20 points and authorities, the accompanying Declaration of Austa Wakily, and, all pleadings and 21 papers on file in this action, and such additional facts and argument as may be presented at or 22 before the time ofthe hearing. 23 24 25 26 27 28 -2- NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

    0.. ....J ....J a:::: w ....J ....J 1 I. INTRODUCTION 2Judgment Debtor, Stephen Gaggero, a wealthy real estate developer, implemented a 3 complex estate plan in 1997, as part of an asset protection scheme to cheat his creditors. The 4 estate plan involved transferring all of his personal wealth to multiple corporations and 5 partnerships that were in turn owned by one of his trusts and/or foundation. Immediately after 6 implementing the estate plan, Mr. Gaggero's estate planning attorney, and trustee of his trusts, 7 Joseph Praske, appointed him as the "asset manager" of the trusts and foundation. As the asset 8 manager Mr. Gaggero retained complete control of all his property, including decisions relating to 9 refinancing, tax, insurance, buying, selling, improving, and designing some ultimate disposition. 10 Additionally, Mr. Gaggero continues to reap the fmancial benefit from the assets in the estate plan 11 through his personal tax returns. Despite, Mr. Gaggero's substantial wealth, he has refused to pay 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 one penny towards the judgment. Mr. Gaggero's present conduct is entirely consistent with his well-documented abuse of the litigation and discovery process. The trial court in the underlying lawsuit found that: "The evidence clearly and unequivocally supports the conclusion that although there was no legal justification whatsoever for refusing to pay the judgment in full, Mr. Gaggero never had any intention to payoff that obligation 100 cents on the dollar. Rather, his absolutely single-minded focus was on delay as a tactic to force the VNBC judgment creditors to accept a deeply discounted payoff. Every strategy devised or advocated by Mr. Gaggero with respect to the VNBC judgrnentcreejitors w~s designed tQ make ilso difficult and so expensive to continue the fight that they would capitulate.... (fn: In fact, it appears this same strategy worked with respect to other judgment creditors" ' 21 Using the same estate plan as a shield, Mr. Gaggero obstinately refuses to respond to post- 22 judgment discovery asserting claims of irrelevance, privilege, and invasion of privacy rights on 23 behalfofhis corporations, trusts, and partnerships. Mr. Gaggefo has refusedto produce documents -- 24 relating to the implementation of his estate plan arguing the transfers are irrelevant to KPC's 25 enforcement efforts. In fact, according to Mr. Gaggero, KPC is only entitled to information about 26 his finances after the entry ofjudgment and in some instances only-to his current assets.Mr. 27 Gaggero maintains that after giving away $35,000,000 worth of assets as part ofthe estate plan he 28 MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO COMPEL POST JUDGMENT REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

    a.. .....J .....J 0::: W .....J .....J '/ 1 is nowdestitute. KPC has made substantial efforts in attempting to resolve the present discovery 2 dispute without the Court's intervention, including substantially limiting and clarifying the 3 requested documents. Mr. Gaggero simply refuses to cooperate. 4 Remarkably, while claiming that is he is destitute in response to KPC's post-judgment 5 discovery, Mr. Gaggero, in his personal capacity, is presently litigating a third legal malpractice 6 lawsuit against KPC. In this pending lawsuit Mr. Gaggero claims that he lost the ability to 7 purchase three ocean front properties in Santa Monica exceeding $2,000,000.00.1 KPC, 8 respectfully requests that this Court compel Mr. Gaggero to produce documents requested in the 9 Requests for Production of Documents (Set Two). Additionally, KPC seeks an award of attorney 10 fees and costs they incurred in bringing this motion in the amount of $10,840.00. Finally, KPC 11 requests sanctions against Mr. Gaggero's attorney in the amount of $5,000 for his collusion in Mr. 12 Gaggero's efforts to defraud his judgment creditors and to commit a fraud on the courts. 13 14 n. 15 16 PROCEDURAL AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND A. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND KPC filed the present Request for Production of Documents (Set Two) on January 31, 17 2012 seeking 38 categories of documents pertaining to Mr. Gaggero's estate plan, business, 18 entities, and general fmances. See Declaration of Austa Wakily (Decl. AW ~ 3, Exh. B). Mr. 19 Gaggero's responses were due on March 6,2012 . (ld. at ~ 3). On March 1,2012, Mr. Gaggero's 20 attorney, David Chatfield, requested a 30 day extension to respond citing to Mr. Gaggero's travel 21 schedule and other lawsuits as a basis for the request. (Id at ~ 4, Exh. C). As a matter of 22 professional courtesy Mr. Gaggero's deadline to respond was extended to March 20, 2012. (ld). 23 Mr. Gaggero served responses to KPC's Request for Production of Documents (Set Two) on ~- 24 25 1 KPC, pursuant to California Evidence Code Sections 452(d) and (h), respectfully requests that this Court take judicial notice of the records and pleading filed in the present case, including the 26 Motion to Amend the Judgment to Add AdditioilalJudgrri~mt Debtors, and Mr. Gaggero's pending lawsuits in Gaggero v Knapp, Petersen & Clarke, et aI, Los Angeles County Superior Court (Case 27 ND. BC286924) and Bunge v. 511 OF. W L.P., et aI, Los Angeles County Superior Court, (Case No. SC100361). 28 -5- MOTION TO COMPEL POST TIJDGMENT REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

    0.... ...J ...J 0::: ill ...J ...J ~ 1 March 20,2012. (Id., at ~ 5, Exh. D ). The responses included general boilerplate objections 2 stating in part "[r]equests for documents relating to assets transferred, sold or liquidated over a 3 decade are clearly irrelevant to his judgment enforcement and will not be produced by plaintiff' 4 among numerous other boilerplate and frivolous responses. (Id). Mr. Gaggero did not produce a 5 privilege log or any documents. (Id). KPC, through counsel, responded to Mr. Gaggero's 6 responses on April 2, 2012. (Id. ~ 6, Exh. E). After delays by Mr. Chatfield, the parties met and 7 conferred on April 19, 2012. (Id. ~~ 7-9, Exh. F). Mr. Chatfield agreed to (1) provide 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 supplemental responses removing all boilerplate andlor or inapplicable objections, (2) provide a "privilege log" for documents withheld pursuant to a claim of privilege, and (3) produce all documents that are responsive to the requests that are not privileged. (Id. ~ 9, Exh. G).The deadline to provide supplemental responses was April 30, 2012. (Id). Mr. Chatfield did not produce any documents or a privilege log, serving only supplemental responses with baseless objections. (Id. ~ 10, Exh. H). Mr. Chatfield did not respond to inquiries relating to his intention to produce a privilege log or documents as he agreed during the meet and confer. (Id. ~ 11, Exh. 1). KPC on May 11, 2012 afforded Mr. Gaggero another opportunity to resolve the discovery disputes informally. (Id. ~ 11, Exh. J). Specifically, KPC, through counsel, sent Mr. Chatfield a 22 page letter stating the relevance of each documents requested, clarifying the scope of each request, and providing case law and authority supporting each request. (Id). After two extensions Mr. Gaggero was required to produce responsive documents and a privilege log no later than May 24, 2012. (Id.~. 14-15, Exh. K). Mr. Gaggero again refused. Rather, on May 24,2012 at 9:59 p.m., Mr. Chatfield notified KPC that a motion for protective order was filed relating to the requests. (Id. ~ 16, Exh. L). The proposed protective order sought, among other things, to preclude KPC from using evidence obtained in the present post-judgment collection efforts in their defense ofthe pending legal lllaipractice lawsuit asserted against thc:In by Mr.. Gaggero. (lcl). In sum, Mr. Gaggero is seeking the Court's aid to allow him to testify about his vast wealth in pursuing a lawsuit while asserting that he is penniless in response to post-judgment discovery. (Id). KPC after further delay tactics was forced to bring this motion. (Id. ~~ 17-18, Exh. M). -6- MOTION TO COMPEL POST JUDGMENT REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
  • 7.
    a.. .....J .....J a::: ill .....J .....J 1 B. FACTUALBACKGROUND 2 Mr. Gaggero created an estate plan in or about 1997. (Id. ~ 20, Exh. N). As part of the 3 estate plan Mr. Gaggero transferred approximately $35,000,000 into various entities, including 4 limited partnerships and limited liability companies. (Id). At the time of the transfer Mr. Gaggero 5 was sole the owner of all the entities into which he transferred his assets. (Id). He subsequently 6 transferred his ownership interests in the entities into one of two trusts or a foundation. (Id). Mr. 7 Gaggero continued to retain control over all assets that he transferred as an "asset manager" for the 8 properties and the trusts and foundation. (Id). Based on Mr. Gaggero's and Mr. Praske's 9 testimony during the Gaggero v. Yura trial, Mr. Gaggero's transfer of his assets into his various 10 entities and subsequently into one of his trusts was nothing more than an attempt to shield his 11 assets from creditors. (Id). Mr. Gaggero is the equitable owner of all assets that are a part of his 12 estate plan and KPC as the judgment creditors are entitled to all documents relating to his estate. 13 KPC, on April 10, 2012 filed a Motion to Amend the Judgment to add Mr. Gaggero's 14 trusts, foundation, and business entities as his alter egos. The Motion was granted on May 29, 15 2012. (Id). The amended judgment precludes Mr. Gaggero's further baseless objections on· 16 grounds of irrelevance and privacy, Mr. Gaggero's continued refusal to produce documents will be 17 clearly in bad faith and warrants sanctions. 18 19 III. DISCUSSION 20 A. LEGAL STANDARD 21 Post-judgment discovery is accorded the widest scope for inquiry concerning property and 22 business affairs ofthe debtor; the object of the proceedings being to compel the judgment debtor 23 to give information concerning his property. "Public policy does not support a judgment debtor's 24 attempt to be fess than candid about his assets and- ability to pay the-judgment especially when a 25 defmite legislative policy has established a procedure for aiding judgment creditors' collection of 26 their judgments." Youngv. Keele (1987) 188 Cal.App.3d 1090, 1093. 27 1 18--,..~_ _ __ , _ -7- MOTION TO COMPEL POST JUDGMENT REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS I

    0.. ....I ....I 0:: W ....I .....1 ~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ) Here, the criticaltimeframe in ascertaining Mr. Gaggero's assets is approximately 15 years ago when he implemented the estate plan. (Id. ~~ 13, 20, Exh. J, N). Mr. Gaggero seeks to curtail the scope ofdiscovery to assets in his personal name after the entry ofjudgment and in some cases to his current assets. (rd. ~~ 9-10, G, H). This is plainly wrong and contrary to case law. Troy v. Superior Court (1986) 186 Cal.App.3d 1006, 1114 Gudgment debtor required to answer questions relating to the transfer of any assets within the last 10 years). KPC is entitled to documents relating to Mr. Gaggero's estate plan implemented over 15 years ago. Mr. Gaggero has also objected to documents relating to his business entities and his employment asserting a myriad of boilerplate and improper objections. (DecL AW ~ 10, Exh. H). Case law is clear that KPC is entitled to information relating to Mr. Gaggero'sbusiness affairs. Troy, supra 186 Cal.App.3d at 1114 citing Martin-Trigona v. Gouletas (7th Cir. 1980) 634 F.2d 354, 360 Gudgment debtor is obligated to answer questions relating to partners, co-shareholders, co-officers and co-directors, and the contents of a will could reveal the existence and location of assets owned by the judgment debtor). Additionally, documents relating to a judgment debtor's employment records for the preceding five years are relevant and proper inquiry for post-judgment discovery. Id. Mr. Gaggero's continued objections and refusal to provide these documents on grounds of Constitutional right to privacy, third party privacy, or irrelevance are clearly be in bad 18 faith. 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 B. KPC'S REQUESTS SEEK DOCUMENTS THAT WILL AID IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF THEIR JUDGMENT Estate Plan: Requests 1-6, 15 seek documents relating to the Arenzano Trust, Giganin Trust, and Aqua Sante Foundation and all entities or assets within the estate plan. Mr. Gaggero testified that he implemented an estate plan 15 years ago which is comprised of the two trusts, foundation, and multiple business entities. Mr. Gaggero is the trustor of these trusts and the 26 manager ofthe trusts,foundation, and assets within the estate plan. (Decl. AW ~·13, Exh. J). 27 Trusts and Foundations Generally: Requests 7-10 seek documents relating to all trusts +-----------..____1- or foundations in which Mr Gaggero may have assets, hut which he may....assert is not part of the 28 -8- MOTION TO CO:tv1PEL POST JUDGMENT REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

    a.. --I --I ~ W --I --I ~ 1 "estate plan."An example is the Terra Mar trust associated with Mr. Gaggero which has been 2 identified in the Bunge v. 511 G.F. W L.P., et aI, (2008) Los Angeles County Superior Court,(Case 3 No. SCI00361). (Decl. AW ~ 13, Exh. J). 4 General Finances: Requests 11-13, 25, 37 seek documents relating to Mr. Gaggero's 5 ability to live a lavish lifestyle, including vacationing overseas, living on a 1,500 acre ranch, and 6 spending hundreds ofthousands of dollars pursuing lawsuits, while claiming he is destitute. These 7 requests seek information concerning Mr. Gaggero's sources of income, financial benefits, right or 8 access to payments of any kind. (Id. ~ 13, Exh. J). 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 '17 28 Assets: Requests 14, 20, 28, 30, and 36 seeks documents designed to elicit information about Mr. Gaggero's current assets, millions of dollars he transferred to third parties, and information about his ownership interest in the Canada Larga ranch. These documents will aid KPC in identifying the present legal title ofthe properties as well as ascertaining the consideration Mr. Gaggero received as part of the transfer which can be used to satisfy the judgment. (Id. ~ 13, Exh.J). Post-Judgment Discovery: Request 16 seeks documents relating to attempts of other judgment creditors in enforcing their judgment against Mr. Gaggero. KPC is clearly entitled to all documents relating to Mr. Gaggero's involvement in post-judgment discovery. (Id. ~ 13, Exh. J). Business Entities: Requests 18, 33-34 seek documents relating to any entity, broadly defined as a corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, general partnership, trusts, foundation, or other partnership or association in which Mr. Gaggero is an officer or member in his personal capacity. The requests also seek information relating to any partr1ership in which Pacific Coast Management or Avalon Corporation is the general partner. (Id. ~ 13, Exh. J). C. MR. GAGGERO HAS IGNORED IDS OBLIGATION TO COMPLY WITH POST-DISCOVERY Mr. Gaggero in response to requests, 1-5, 7-10, 15, asserts that responsive documents are "helieved to be" in:MI. Praske's possession or control. (Id. ~, 10-11, Exh. H). First, Mr. Gaggero, -9- MOTION TO COMPEL POST JUDGMENT REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
  • 10.
    /' 0::: W .....I .....I ~l ; 1 pursuant tothe Code of Civil Procedure Section 2031.230, must "affirm that a diligent search and 2 a reasonable inquiry has been made in an effort to comply with that demand." (Decl. AW ~~ 6, 3 9,13, Exh. E, G, J). To the extent Mr. Gaggero claims that he is unable to comply, he must state 4 "whether the inability to comply is because the particular item or category has never existed, has 5 been destroyed, has been lost, misplaced or stolen, or has never been, or is no longer, in the 6 possession, custody or control ofthe responding party. (ld). The statement shall set forth the name 7 and address of any natural person or organization known or believed by that party to have 8 possession, custody or control ofthat item or category of item." (Id). Second, Mr. Gaggero must at 9 a minimum request the documents relating to his estate plan from his estate planning attorney, 10 Joseph Praske, who has an ethical obligation comply with his client's request. Mr. Gaggero did 11 not comply with the requests despite the noticed provided by KPC in the meet and confer 12 correspondence to Mr. Chatfield. (Id). Finally, Mr. Praske in Bunge v. 511 OF. W L.P has filed a . 13 motion for protective order relating to Mr. Gaggero's trust documents. Mr. Gaggero is actively 14 involved in that lawsuit as it relates to his business entities. Clearly Mr. Gaggero is fully aware 15 whether Mr. Praske has possession of the trust documents, but is intentionally refusing to comply 16 with his obligation. 17 18 19 D. MR. GAGGERO IS REQUIRED TO IDENTIFY WITH PARTICULARITY DOCUMENTS WITHHELD PURSUANT TO ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING CLAIMS OF PRIVILEGE 20 California Code of Civil Procedure § 2031.240(b)(1) requires Mr. Gaggero to identify with 21 particularity documents withheld pursuant to any objection, including but not limited to claims of 22 privilege. Hernandez v. Superior Court (2003) 112 Cal. App. 4th 285, 291. Mr. Gaggero is 23 required to set forth clearly the extent of, and the specific ground for, the objection. If an objection 24 is based on a clilim of privilege, the particular privilege invoked shall be stated. ffanobjection is 25 based on a claim that the infonnation sought is protected work product under Chapter 4 - 26 (commencing with Section 2018.010), that claim shall be expressly asserted." Code Civ. Proc. §§ 27 203I.240(b)(1), (2). Importantly, objections made to requests for production of documents that do 28 -10- MOTION TO COMPEL POST JUDGMENT REQUEST FORPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

The information in a privilege log or 8 accompanying any other claim ofprivilege must be sufficiently specific to permit the trial court to 9 determine whether each withheld document is or is not privileged. Kaiser Found. Hosp. v. 10 Superior Court (1998) 66 Cal.

Mr. Gaggero must provide a specific factual description for each document 14 withheld sufficient to substantiate a claim of privilege in connection with a request for document 15 production. Hernandez, supra 112 Cal. App. 4th 285 at 292 citing Korea Data Systems Co. v. 16 Superior Court (1997) 51 Cal. App. 4th 1513,1516-1517. Mr. Gaggero has not established that 17 any of the documents he is seeking to withhold is subject to any privilege, thus, KPC respectfully 18 requests that this Court compel Mr. Gaggero to produce all documents without further objection. 19 (Decl. AW ~ 10, Exh. H). 20 E. MR. GAGGERO CANNOT ASSERT THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT OR ATTORNEY WORK-PRODUCT PRIVILEGE TO COMMITT A FRAUD 21 22 The attorney-client privilege authorizes a client to refuse to disclose, and to prevent others 23 from disclosing, information communicated in confidence to the attorney and legal advice - 24 received in return. Evid. Code, § 954. The privilege does not apply where the "services of the 25 lawyer were sought or obtained to enable or aid anyone to commit or plan to commit a crime or a 26 fraud." Evid. Code, § 956. To invoke crime/fraud exception to attorney-client privilege, the 27 proponent must make prima facie showing that services of lawyer were sought or obtained to 28 -11- MOTION TO COJvIPEL POST JUDGMENT REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

Here, Mr. Gaggero, while he was a judgment 3 debtor, retained Mr. Praske to implement an asset protection scheme to conceal his assets from 4 creditors. (Decl. AW ~ 20, Exh. N). Mr. Praske continues his work relating to the estate plan as the 5 trustee ofthe trusts or foundation and in his capacity as an officer of the various business entities. 6 Id. 7 Importantly, Mr. Gaggero only asserts this privilege as part of his efforts to defraud 8 judgment creditors. (Id. ~~16-17, 20, Exh. L, N). Mr. Gaggero in pursuing a breach of contract 9 lawSl.lit against in Gaggero v. Yura did not assert the attorney client privilege relating to his estate 10 plan. (Id. ~ 20, N). In fact both he and Mr. Praske testified in great lengths about the 11 implementation of the estate plan and Mr. Gaggero's authority to command resources within the 12 estate to purchase property in excess of 1 million dollars. (Id). Mr. Gaggero's cannot assert the 13 attorney-client privilege selectively to defraud his judgment creditors. Finally, Mr. Praske's 14 knowledge of the fraud is irrelevant for the crime-fraud exception to the attorney client privilege 15 to apply; instead, the application of it turns on Mr. Gaggero's intent. Freedom Trust v. Chubb 16 Group ofIns. Companies (1999) 38 F.Supp.2d 1170. There is no doubt that Mr. Gaggero was and 17 is perpetrating a fraud in implementing the estate plan designed to conceal his assets from his 18 judgment creditors. 19 F.

I am an attorney licensed to practice law by the State Bar of California. I am an associate at the law firm Miller LLP and the attorney of record for the defendants and judgment creditors, Knapp, Petersen & Clarke, Stephen Ray Garcia, Stephen Harris, and Andre Jardini (collectively referred to as "KPC") in this action. I first became involved in the handling of the post-judgment enforcement efforts in this action in mid-November 2012. I am also the attorney of record in another lawsuit involving judgment debtor Stephen Gaggero against KPC for purported legal malpractice. Since that time I have become familiar with the pleadings, records and files in this action including the appeal and the amended judgment, including numerous transcripts and various lawsuits in which Stephen Gaggero has been a party. 2. KPC obtained a judgment against Mr. Gaggero on May 19, 2008 in the amount of $1,327,697,994.50 and amended on December 28, 2010 to include attorney fees and costs after Mr. Gaggero unsuccessfully appealed the underlying judgment. KPC's judgment as of December 28,2012 totaled $1,841,535.80. Attached as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy ofthe amended judgment. 3. I personally drafted 38 Requests for Pl:oduction of Documents (Set Two) pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure § 708.030. Attached as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of the requests served on January 31, 2012. The requests were specifically drafted to obtain information to aid in the collection of the judgment including information relating to Mr. Gaggero's estate plan, entities and assets within the estate plan, and third parties who have knowledge, possession, or control of Gaggero's assets. Mr. Gaggero's respons_es were due on March6, 2012.. 4. Mr. Gaggero's counsel ofrecord, David Chatfield, on March 1,2012 sent a letter to our. office requesting a.30 day extension due in part to Gaggero's travel schedule and other litigation. As a professional courtesy Mr. Chatfield, on March 2, 2012 was granted a two week -14- MOTION TO COMPEL POST JUDGMENT REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUJv.IENTS

Attached as Exhibit C are copies ofthe letters relating to the extension. 5. Mr. Gaggero, through his counsel, served responses on March 20, 2012. No documents were produced with the responses. A copy ofthe responses is attached as Exhibit D 6. After receiving and reviewing the responses I sent a letter dated April 2, 2012 to Mr. Chatfield proposing to meet and confer on April 6, 2012 in an attempt to avoid having to bring a motion to compel. Attached as Exhibit E is a copy ofmy letter to Mr. Chatfield. 7. Mr. Chatfield responded by email on April 3, 2012 stating that he was not available to meet and confer on April 9, 2012 but was available any time after 10:00 on April 12, 2012. Based on Mr. Chatfield's response I proposed to meet and confer on April 12,2012 at 3:00 pm. Mr. Chatfield responded by email on April 6, 2012 agreeing to meet and confer on April 12, 2012 and extending our deadline to file a motion to compel to May 11,2012. Attached as Exhibit F is a copy ofthe email. 8. I received a call from Mr. Chatfield's secretary on April 11, 2012 stating that Mr. Chatfield could not make the scheduled meet and confer on April 12, 2012 due to an urgent matter. Mr. Chatfield's secretary further informed me that he would be available to reschedule the meet and confer to April 19,2012 at 3:00 p.m. and that we would also receive a one week extension to file a motion to compel to May 18, 2012. I sent an email to Mr. Chatfield confirming my conversation with his secretary. The email is included as part ofExhibit F. 9. On April 19, 2012 I called Mr. Chatfield to discuss the responses to the request for production of documents. Mr. Chatfield agreed to (1) provide supplemental responses removing all boilerplate and/or or inapplicable objections, (2) provide a "privilege log" for documents withheld pursuant to a claim ofprivilege, and (3) produce all documents that are responsive to the requests·that are not privileged. The deadline to provide supplemental responses was April 30, 2012. A copy ofmy email to Mr. Chatfield confirming our discussions is attached as Exhibit G. 10. Mr. Gaggero, through is counsel, served supplemental responses on April 30, 2012. Mr. Gaggero again did not produce any documents.

After reviewing the supplemental responses served on May 2, 2012 it became readily apparent that Mr. Gaggero had no intention of producing the requested documents. My agreement with Mr. Chatfield to allow him to supplement his responses to April 30, 2012 required him to comply with the three conditions to which he agreed. Mr. Gaggero's supplemental responses did not include a privilege log or any document production. Additionally, while the supplemental responses have removed the "General Objections" each objection continues to assert imorooer boilerolate objections.......L .a. oJ , 12. I sent Mr. Chatfield an email on May 2,2012 inquiring whether he would produce a privilege log. Mr. Chatfield did not respond. Attached as Exhibit I is a copy of this email communication. 13. I sent Mr. Chatfield a twenty one page meet and confer letter on May 11, 2012 addressing the deficiencies in the supplemental responses, limiting the scope of certain request, and clarifying the requests. Attached as Exhibit J is a copy of the meet and confer letter sent on May 11,2012. 14. In the letter I provide Mr. Gaggero to respond to the Meet and Confer no later than May 15,2012. Mr. Chatfield emailed me on May 14,2012 requesting a two week extension of our respective-deadlines due to a deadline to file an opposition In a reIated motion. I responded on May 14,2012 agreeing to provide him a one week extension to May 22, 2012. Attached as Exhibit K is a copy ofthe email correspondence. 15. On May 21,2012, Mr. Chatfield's assistant, Dawn Masters called me to request an additional two day extension for Mr. Chatfield to respond to the meet and confer letter dated May 11~2012.(agreedto provide Mr. Chatfield until May 24, 2012 to respond conditioned on a two day extension for filing the motion to compel to May 31, 2012.

Mr. Chatfieldemailed me on May 24,2012 at 9:59 p.m. to state that he has filed a motion for protective order. Attached as Exhibit L is a copy of Mr. Chatfield's email to me and the proposed protective order. After reviewing the protective order I believe that Mr. Gaggero's purpose in seeking the order is to prohibit KPC from using evidence obtained from post-judgment discovery against him in his pending legal malpractice lawsuit against KPC. (Exh. L, ~ 4 Protective Order). I previously explained to Mr. Chatfield in response to a protective order in the debtor examination proceeding that we will not agree to any protective order that will allow Mr. Gaggero to commit perjury in prosecuting a lawsuit against KPC while also precluding them from enforcing their judgment. This is documented in my email attached with Exhibit L. 17. I responded to Mr. Chatfield's email on May 25, 2012 to clarify his misstatements that were confirmed in my emails. I also informed him that we would proceed with filing a motion to compel based on his client's failure to cooperate with post-judgment discovery. Attached as Exhibit M is a copy ofmy email to Mr. Chatfield. 18. Mr. Chatfield responded requesting further meet and confers on the discovery and requesting that I do not file a motion to compel. In response I emailed Mr. Chatfield to confirm that he produced with his May 24, 2012 supplemental responses the privilege log he stated he would produce on April 30, 2012. Mr. Chatfield confirmed that he has not produced a privilege log and intends to comply. I explained in a response that his client's deadline to respond was May 24~ 2012requiring actual -compliance and not another assertion of an intent to comply.

Attached as Exhibit N is a true and correct copy of the Motion to Amend the Judgment and signed order. 21. Mr. Chatfield notified me immediately after the Court granted KPC's Motion to Amend the Judgment that he will file a notice of appeaL Based on Mr. Chatfield's statements and Mr. Gaggero's numerous appeals I believe that he will appeal the Court's ruling and continue refusing to cooperate with post-judgment discovery on that basis. 22. Based on Mr. Chatfield's and Mr. Gaggero's tactics in abusing the discovery process I believe that any request for further meet and confers is solely as a delay tactic and will not result in the production of any documents. As a result, it has been necessary to bring this motion. 23. I personally drafted and reviewed each request in the Request for Production of Documents (Set Two). Each of the requests is likely to lead to information that will aid KPC in enforcing their judgment. 24. In order to bring this, I expended no less 20 hours preparing the motion and accompanying separate statement, declaration, and exhibits. Additionally, I spent 20 hours reviewing Mr. Gaggero's responses and supplemental responses to the request for production of document, preparing the meet and correspondences to Mr. Chatfield, and meeting and conferring with Mr. Chatfield. I expect to spend additIonal five (5) hours preparing-any reply briefs and attending the hearing on this matter. 25. My hourly rate is $240. I seek an award of attorney's fees for $10,800 for 45 hours ofwork at $240 per hour, plus the $40.00 filing fee for a total of$10,840. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing IS true and correct and that this declaration was executed on May g/,2012 at Los Angeles, California. -18- MOTION TO COJv.lPEL POST JUDGMENT REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

Knapp, Petersen & Clarke, et al Los Angeles Superior Court (BC286925) Mr. Chatfield: Reply To: austa@millerllp.com I write to address your responses to Defendants Request for Production ofDocuments (Set Two). I propose that we meet and confer on Friday April 6, 2012 at 11:00 am to allow sufficient time for filing a motion to compeL Alternatively, please amend your responses no later than Thursday AprilS, 2012 to remove all boilerplate objections and address the improper responses. I appreciate your cooperation in resolving these matters expeditiously. GENERAL RESPONSES 1. Improper Boilerplate Objections Boilerplate, blanket objections are prohibited under the discovery statute. Such objections provide -no~explanation as to how the objection- is proper or how-it-appliesin the context used. See, Korea Data Systems Co. Ltd. v. Superior Court (1997) 51 Cal. App. 4th 1513, 1516-1517. Plaintiff has included eleven (11) paragraphs of boilerplate objections which are incorporated into every response. The boilerplate objections make it impossible for defendants to determine which documents have been withheld, if any, and the extent to which a particular objection applies to a Request. 2. Privilege Log ~ -- ---- - - - - - - .-- ----- - -- - -- - - -- --~- . - - - California Code of Civil Procedure Section ~031.240(b)(1) requires Mr. Gaggero to identify with particularity documents withheld pursuant to any objection, including but not limited to claims of privilege.

    April 2, 2012 Page2 Plaintiff must provide the following for each document withheld pursuant to any claim of privilege: 1) Identity of each document; 2) The author(s) ofthe document; 3) Recipients; 4) Date ofpreparation; and 5) The specific privilege(s) asserted. The purpose of a "privilege log" is to provide a specific factual description of documents in aid of substantiating a claim of privilege in connection with a request for document production." Hernandez, supra 112 Cal. App. 4th 285 at 292 citing Korea Data Systems Co. supra 51 Cal. App. 4th at 1516-1517. The information in a privilege log or accompanying any other claim of privilege must be sufficiently specific to permit the trial court to determine whether each withheld document is or is not privileged. Kaiser Found. Hosp. v. Superior Court (1998) 66 Cal. App. 4th 1217, 1228. Attorney-Client Privilege: The party claiming the attorney-client privilege "has the burden of establishing the preliminary facts necessary to support its exercise, i.e., a communication made in the course of an attorney-client relationship." Costco Wholesale Corp. v. Superior Court, (2009) 47 Cal. 4th 725, 733 (citations omitted). The attorney-client product privilege does not apply to independent facts, such as disclosure ofnames of witnesses, existence of photos, meetings, persons in attendance and subject matter of the meetings and other evidence. Smith v. Superior Court (1961) 189 Cal.App.2d 5, 11; State Farm Fire & Casualty Co. v. Superior Court (1997) 54 Cal. App. 4th 625, 639. The privilege also does not apply to documents prepared by a party simply because the documents were presented to the attorney. Wellpoint Health Networks, Inc. v. Superior Court (1997) 59 Cal.App.4th 110, 119. To the extent Mr. Gaggero is withholding documents pursuant to the attorney-client privilege he must provide a privilege log. Work Product Privilege: Plaintiff also is required to provide a privilege log for all documents withheld through the work-product privilege. Mr. Gaggero fails to state the specific grounds for the objectioiuls required by Code of CivilProcedilleSection 2031.240(b)(2): "The burden of showing need for such protection is upon the party claiming such need." San Diego Professional Assn. v. Superior Court (1962) 58 Cal. 2d 194, 204. Confidential and/or Proprietary- Right to Privacy: Mr. Gaggero also asserts, generally, objections pursuant to the right to privacy for himself and on behalf of unidentified third persons. Plaintiff is required to state which documents, if any, he is withholding on the grounds that the documents are protected under a right to privacy. Please provide a privilege log for each document withheld pursuant to any privilege no later than April 6, 2012.

    April 2, 2012 Page3 3. All Documents Relating to Mr. Gaggero's Estate Plan Mr. Gaggero states in his general objections that he refuses to provide any documents relating to relating to his estate plan by asserting that "[r]equests for documents relating to assets transferred, sold or liquidated over a decade are clearly irrelevant to his judgment enforcement and will not be produced by plaintiff." We completely disagree with this objection. We are, as you know, aware that Mr. Gaggero created an estate plan in or about 1997. As part of the estate plan Mr. Gaggero transferred approximately $30,000,000 from his personal portfolio into various entities, including limited partnerships and limited liability companies. At the time of the transfer Mr. Gaggero was sole the owner of all the entities into which he transferred his assets. He subsequently transferred his ownership interests in the entities. into one of his self-settled trusts. Mr. Gaggero continues to retain control over all assets that he transferred as an "asset manager" for the properties. Further, he has appointed his estate planning attorney, Joseph Praske, as the trustee for his trusts. Mr. Praske refers to Mr. Gaggero is the "decision maker" with respect to ail assets in the "estate pian." Further stiil, both Mr. Gaggero and Mr. Praske refer to the estate plan as comprising Gaggero's estate. These documents are relevant to not only the creation of the estate plan, but information as to whether Mr. Gaggero retained any control over the assets in the estate, including his current access the resources in the estate. Based on Mr. Gaggero's and Mr. Praske's testimony during the Gaggero v. Yura trial, Mr. Gaggero's transfer of his assets into his various entities and subsequently into one of his trusts is nothing more than an attempt to shield his assets from creditors. Mr. Gaggero is the equitable owner of all assets that are a part of his estate plan and KPC as the judgment creditors are entitled to all documents relating to his estate. 4. "YOU" and "YOUR" Mr. Gaggero improperly attempts to limit the scope of the judgment creditors request by re-defIning the term "YOU" and "YOUR." The term "YOU" and "YOUR" is defmed as ''Responding Party arid his agents~ employee, eriipl()yer,att6riley, ·accoililtfult; investigator;· ot· anyone else acting on Responding Party's behalf." As discussed under number 3 above, Mr. Gaggero as part of his estate plan transferred all ofhis assets and money to·various corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, general pminerships, and other business entities. Mr. Gaggero now operates his business and personal matters through these entities. For example, Mr. Gaggero's legal fees in several cases were paid by PacifIc Coast Management and Avalon Corporation. He also acts as the .. -"representative" on behalf of the various-business entities, such·as 511 O.F.W.LF,-Malibu Broadbeach, LP, and Marina Glencoe,LP, to name a few. .Einally,thedefmitionQ("YQ:U"_and. "YQlJR"in~lQdedmfu~Regllest f'Q1:PrQdjlctio1J.9:f Documents (Set Two) is no more expansive than the defInition approved by the judicial counsel in Form Interrogatories. Mr. Gaggero's assertion that the defInition of "YOU" and "YOUR" "imposes a burden greater than what is required by the California Rules of Civil Procedure" is ~--------~u1ll~reiel~hDuhneri~t.----------------------------------~-------------------------

    I April 2, 2012 Page4 5. "ESTATE PLAN" ESTATE PLAN includes but is not limited to the preparation of any plan of administration and disposition of YOUR property, ovvned by YOU 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. ESTATE PLAN also refers to the "Estate Plan" YOU testified about during the GAGGERO V. YURA triaL ESTATE PLAN further refers to the transfer of any assets ovvned by you at any time to any PERSON or ENTITY. Mr. Gaggero objects to this defInition as "over broad, unduly burdensome, and not otherwise reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence relevant to the .inquiry into Plaintiffs current assets, which is the sole subject of this discovery." Judgment creditors, KPC, have not limited the scope of this discovery to Mr. Gaggero's current assets. KPC is entitled to all information that will aid in the enforcement of its judgment against Mr. Gaggero and that includes all information and documents related to Mr. Gaggero's estate plan, regardless ofthe date of creation. KPC is entitled to all documents requested. 6. Publicly Available Documents Plaintiff objects to documents to the extent that they are publicly available or to which Defendant has equal access as to Plaintiff. Defendants are entitled to request documents, albeit public, that are in Plaintiffs possession, custody, or controL To the extent plaintiff is refusing to provide documents pursuant to this objection, he must identify the documents to which he refers. Plaintiffs objection on this ground requires defendants to guess which documents have been produced, thus, is inappropriate. KPC need not guess what publicly available documents are responsive to each request. 7. Vague, Ambiguous, and Overbroad Mr. Gaggeto includes among the general objections that each Request is vague, ambiguous, intelligible, undated, unsigned, and overly broad. The objections of "vague, .ambiguous, ullintelligible'; is atechnical objeCtion ana cai:uiofbe a basis·for-refusing to produce· documents. Standon Co., Inc. v. Superior Court (1990) 225 CaL App. 3d 898, 901. Vague and ambiguous: Such objections are valid only if the question is totally unintelligible. Where the question is somewhat ambiguous, but the nature of the information sought is apparent, the proper solution is to provide an appropriate response. Deyo v. Kilbourne (1978) 84 Cal. App. 3d 771, 783. . Unduly Burdensome: ·Plaintiff has' asserted this nuisance objection without any facts quantifying why the production would be unduly·burdensome; The scope of discovery is broad and the judgment creditors, as discussed below, are entitled to all the documents sought in the . . .. Requestfor ProductionofDocuments,SetIwo). I· I Overly Broad; This is not a valid obj€Gtion to any ofoth€ r€qu€sts. As diSGuss€d below, the judgment creditors are entitled to discovery of any matter, not privileged, that is likely to aid in r------ilie enforcemenfOfjudgment.
  • 71.
    April 2, 2012 Page5 8. Relevance Post-judgment discovery is accorded the widest scope for inquiry concerning property and business affairs of the debtor; the object of the proceedings being to compel the judgment debtor to give information concerning his property. "Public policy does not support a judgment debtor's attempt to be less than candid about his assets and ability to pay the judgment especially when a defInite legislative policy has established a procedure for aiding judgment creditors collection oftheir judgments." Young v. Keele (1987) 188 CaLApp.3d 1090, 1093. KPC, as the judgment creditors, therefore, are entitled to conduct the full panoply of discovery in obtaining information related to Mr. Gaggero's assets, i.e., his estate plan. Mr. Gaggero also objects generally to the Requests to the extent they seek information "outside the relevant time period." All documents requested are relevant to the enforcement of judgment against Mr. Gaggero including documents relating to the transfer of his assets 'and the creation ofhis estate plan. SPECIFIC REQUESTS Requests 6, 11, 12-17,21,23,24,29, and 35 includes only boilerplate objection without further indication as to whether the documents exist or will be produced. Mr. Gaggero must produce all documents responsive to these requests or provide a privilege log substantiating the privileges asserted no later than April 9, 2012. Requests 1-10,14-15 seeks documents related to Mr. Gaggero's estate plan, including Arenzano Trust, Giganin Trust, and Aqua Sante Foundation that Mr. Gaggero's estate planning attorney, Joseph Praske, identifIed as part of Mr. Gaggero's estate. The trustor of each trust is Mr. Gaggero and the trustee is Mr. Praske. Requests 1-3 are limited specifIcally to the three trusts and are not limited in time. The remaining requests 4-10 seek documents relating to all trusts, entities, or foundations that relate to the estate plan, but which have not otherwise been identifIed iriRequests: Requests14 aridl) also seek documents relating -tOilietrallster ot Mr~-(}aggero's assets as part of his estate plan- as he testified in Yura. All documents relating to the estate plan will lead to information of his continued ownership interests or the value he received as part of his transfer. Requests 11-13,24,37-38 seek documents relating to the payment of various expenses on Mr. Gaggero's behalf. As a result of Mr. Gaggero's estate plan he claims to have retained nothing in his personal name. He claims he does not have a checking account yet he lives on a 1,500 acre -- ranch. --Mr;-Gaggeropresumablyhas some -living~expenses,-inc1udinghis constant out of state- traveling. As stated above, Mr; Gaggero's litigation expenses were paid for by PacifIc Coast Management and Avalon Corporation. These entities also paid for Mr. Gaggero's personal bills, such asutility._andJris_ dog's~v.eterinary~bills,basecLoll-his_testimouyinthe_underlying case on _ August 2, and 7, 2007. KPC is entitled to obtain all documents relating to any'income Mr. Gaggero receives from any entity, paid in any form, inGluding through the payment of his expenses.
  • 72.
    April 2, 2012 Page6 Requests 16-17 seeks documents relating to attempts of other judgment creditors in enforcing their judgment against Mr. Gaggero. We are aware that Mr. Gaggero is and has been a judgment debtor for other cases. Some ofthe other judgments have been paid offby Mr. Gaggero or one of the entities in his estate or his trustee. Clearly these requests relate to Mr. Gaggero's finances and are relevant to our clients attempt to collect on a $2,000,000 judgment. Request 18- This request seeks all documents related to the various entities Mr. Gaggero or his attorney established in which he continues to act as an officer or member. There is no basis to . withhold these documents. Requests 19-20 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 part of Mr. Gaggero's estate. All documents related to these requests are relevant to enforcement of KPCs $2,000,000 judgment against Mr. Gaggero. Requests 21-23 Mr. Gaggero's tax documents are an independent method of confIrming his income, including those derived from assets within his estate. Because Mr. Gaggero has refused to disclose information relating to his assets we are left with no option but to seek tax documents to clearly ascertain his financial information. Request 25 seeks all documents related to Mr. Gaggero's income since 2010. Mr. Gaggero stated that he will produce responsive documents if we agree to limit the request to the relevant time period. We will not agree to limit the requests. Mr. Gaggero's income earned in the last 2 years is likely to lead to information to aid in the enforcement of a judgment. Further, there is no explanation in the responses as to why request should be limited. Requests 26 and 27 seeks all documents relating to accounts with a fmancial institutions, including bank statements for personal or business accounts in which Mr. Gaggero has a legal or equitable interest. Mr. Gaggero testified in Yura that he provides money to Pacific Coast Management and then uses its checking ·account. Mr. Gaggero has an equitable interest in accounts include Pacific Coast Management. Mr. Gaggero is required to produce all documents relating to bank statements for personal arid business accounts in whicli neisan-equitable oWner, . i.e., where he has authority to issue checks to pay his expenses or expenses associated with his assets. Requests 28-30 requests all documents evidencing Mr. Gaggero's ownership interest, at any time, in any asset, including property, stocks and bonds, held by him in any capacity. These requests seek to obtain information on all assets owned by Mr. Gaggero since 1997 to determine what he transferred as part of his estate planning and determine the value he received for each - transfer. - - - ...... --- ~ - Requests 31-34 seeks all documents related to Pacific Coast Management and Avalon Corporation..Mr. Gaggero,. personally_orthrough his_attorney,set up both thes_eCOIporationsand as such should have access to all documents. These corporations are part of his estate plan and are relevant to KPC's enforcement ofjudgment..
  • 73.
    April 2, 2012 Page7 ,~ / Request 35 seeks all documents relating to Mr. Gaggero's relationship to other entities. Mr. Gaggero has been involved in numerous lawsuits naming the corporations, limited partnerships, and limited liability companies in which he transferred his assets as a party. Mr. Gaggero's involvement has been in his personal capacity or as a "representative" on behalf of an entity. Documents responsive to this request will provide information relating to Mr. Gaggero's continued equitable ownership of all assets in his estate, via the business entities, and on that basis is clearly relevant. Request 36 seeks insurance policies that include Mr. Gaggero as an insured for any real or personal property. These documents are relevant to establishing Mr. Gaggero's ownership or equitable ownership ofhis assets. Please contact me immediately to meet and confer on the deficiencies addressed in Plaintiffs responses above. I propose that we meet and confer on Friday April 6 2012 at 11:00 am. Alternatively, please amend your responses no later than Thursday April 5, 2012. Ifwe do not hear from you by Friday we will be forced to file a motion to compel to protect our clients' interest.

    Austa Wakily From: Sent: To: Subject: Dear Mr.Chatfield, () Austa Wakily Thursday, April 19, 2012 4:33 PM davidblakec@hotmail.com Meet and Confer re Request for Production of Documents (Set Two) This email will confirm our meet and confer regarding the defendant's Request for Production of Documents (Set Two). Per our agreement you will (1) provide supplemental responses removing all boilerplate and/or or inapplicable objections, (2) provide a privilege log for documents withheld pursuant to a claim of privilege, and (3) produce all documents that are responsive to the requests that are not privileged. The agreed deadline to provide the above is April 30,2012. During our call you informed me that the anticipated response relating to the trusts is that Mr. Gaggero does not have possession, custody, or control of the documents because those documents are in ~v1r. Praske's possession. As! explained Mr. Gaggero at a minimum must request those documents from Mr. Praske. Mr. Gaggero cannot place documents within his control to another party and refuse to disclose them on that basis. Mr. Gaggero retained Mr. Praske as an estate planning attorney to implement his estate plan. Mr. Gaggero is the trustor of the trusts and continues to exert full control and influence over Mr. Praske relating to not only the trusts but all assets in the trust. Mr. Gaggero can request from Mr. Praske, his attorney, all documents relating to the implementation of his estate plan including the trust documents. Mr. Praske as his attorney has an ethical obligation to comply with that request. Finally, you informed me that you intend to limit the dates for the documents, however, you will specify the dates in the supplemental responses. This will allow me to review and determine whether we disagree on the proposed limits. Please note that we will not agree to limit the relevant time frame to post entry of judgment, particularly with respect to documents relating to the estate plan. As you know, Mr. Gaggero's estate plan was implemented in or about 1997 and since then he has conducted all business and personal matters through the trusts or entities owned by the trusts. Limiting the timeframe of post-judgment discovery will preclude defendants from obtaining key information relating to Mr. Gaggero's true financial status. ~- We look forward to receiving the supplemental responses no later than April 30, 2012. We will reply to your supplemental responses and meet and confer, as necessary.

    May 10,2012 Page 2 / STEPHENGAGGERO'S ESTATE PLAN Mr. GaggeroI, fifteen (15) years ago, transferred all of his personal assets, worth $35,000,000, as part of an estate plan. His estate is comprised of two trusts, one foundation, multiple partnerships, and multiple corporations. The two trusts are the Giganin Trust and the Arenzano Trust. The foundation is the Aqua Sante Foundation. The Giganin Trust is a qualified personal residence trust with the ownership of Mr. Gaggero's primary residence, a 1,500 acre ranch in Ventura, California. The Aquasante Foundation is believed to be an off-shore foundation that either owns or manages Mr. Gaggero's trusts and entities. The Arenzano Trust is an off-shore trust organized under the laws of Anguilla. Typically, with these off-shore trusts, the trustor purports to give away the legal ownership interests to the trust yet continues to enjoy their full use and benefit. Additionally, as is the case here, the trustor retains substantial control over the administration of the trusts and trust property. Mr. Gaggero has testified under penalty of perjury that he is the asset manager of the two trusts and foundations and all assets within the estate plan.'; As part of this Mr. Gaggero stated that he is responsible for refinancing, dealing with tax issues, insurance issues, making decisions to... buy or sell the asset, to improve the asset, overseeing any improvement to the asset, financing, designing some ultimate disposition ofthe asset. Implementing the estate plan involved two steps. First, Mr. Gaggero transferred his assets into a limited liability company or limited partnership in which he had full ownership either through shares or membership interests. Second, he transferred his ownership interest in these entities to one of his trusts or foundation. By 1999 he had absolutely nothing in his personal name. Immediately after the implementation of the estate plan, Joseph Praske, the estate planning attorney and trustee of the trusts, appointed Gaggero as the asset manager of all assets within the estate plan. Although Mr. Gaggero transferred legal title to various entities ownedby trusts and a foundation- his accountant, James Walter testified under penalty of perjury that the gains and losses for the assets in the estate plan ultimately flow through Mr. Gaggero's tax returns.

    May 10,2012 Page 3 RELEVANCEOF DOCUMENTS REQUESTED Post-judgment discovery is accorded the widest scope for inquiry concerning property and business affairs ofthe debtor; the object ofthe proceedings being to compel the judgment debtor to give infonnation concerning his property. Public policy does not support a judgment debtor's attempt to be less than candid about his assets and ability to pay the judgment especially when a defInite legislative policy has established a procedure for aiding judgment creditors' collection of their judgments. Young v. Keele (1987) 188 CaLApp.3d 1090, 1093. The critical timeframe in ascertaining Mr. Gaggero's assets is approximately 15 years ago when he implemented the estate plan. Mr. Gaggero seeks to curtail the scope of discovery to assets in his personal name after the entry of judgment and in some cases to his current assets. This is plainly wrong and contrary to case law. Troy v. Superior Court (1986) 186 Cal.App.3d 1006, 1114 Gudgment debtor required to answer questions relating to the transfer of any assets within the last 10 years). Here, Mr. Gaggero's estate plan was implemented over 15 years ago, thus, where relevant the requests properly seek documents dating back to the implementation of the estate plan. KPC is also entitled to information relating to his business affairs. Troy, supra 186 Cal.App.3d at 1114 citing Martin-Trigona v. Gouletas (7th Cir. 1980) 634 F.2d 354, 360 Gudgment debtor is obligated to answer questions relating to partners, co-shareholders, co-offIcers and co-directors, and the contents of a will could reveal the existence and location of assets owned by the judgment debtor). Additionally, documents relating to a judgment debtor's employment records for the preceding five years are relevant and proper inquiry for post-judgment discovery. fd. Continued objections and refusal to provide these documents on grounds of Constitutional right to privacy, third party privacy, or irrelevance will clearly be in bad faith. KPC's requests seek documents concerning the following categories, discussed in more detail below. .. . ~state-Plan:iequests·l:6,15 seeks docuiiierits-refatirigto llieAIemano Tritst~· Gigariin Trust, and Aqua Sante Foundation and all entities or assets within the estate plan. Mr. Gaggero established the estate plan 15 years ago and is the trustor of these trusts and within a class of benefIciaries. Documents requested in this category seek infQnuatiQU about Mr. Gaggero's assets that are in the possession and/or control ofa third party.

    May 10,2012 Page 4 Assets:requests 14,20,28,30, and 36 seeks documents designed to elicit infonnation about Mr. Gaggero's current assets, millions of dollars he transferred to third parties, and information about his ownership interest in the Canada Larga ranch. These documents,will aid KPC in identifying the present legal title of the properties as well as ascertaining the consideration Mr. Gaggero received as part ofthe transfer which can be used to satisfy the judgment. Post-Judgment Discovery: request 16 seeks documents relating to attempts of other judgment creditors in enforcing their judgment against Mr. Gaggero. We are aware previous judgments against Mr. Gaggero have been satisfied. KPC is clearly entitled to all documents relating to Mr. Gaggero's involvement in post-judgment discovery. Business Entities: requests 18,33-34 seeks documents relating to any entity, broadly defmed as a corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, general partnership, trusts, foundation, or other partnership or association in which Mr. Gaggero is an officer or member in his personal capacity. The requests also seek information relating to any partnership in which Pacific Coast Management or Avalon Corporation is the general partner. DUTY TO CONDUCT REASONABLE SEARCH Although I addressed this during our meet and confer on April 19, 2012, and confrrmed in my email on the same date, I will repeat it in this letter based on Mr. Gaggero's supplemental responses. Mr. Gaggero at a minimum must request those documents from Mr. Praske. Mr. Gaggero cannot place documents within his control to another party and refuse to disclose them on that basis. Mr. Gaggero retained Mr. Praske as an estate planning attorney to implement his estate plan. Mr. Gaggero is the trustor of the trusts and continues to exert full control and influence over Mr. Praske relating to not only the trusts but all assets in the trust. Mr. Gaggero can request from Mr. Praske, his attorney, all documents relating to the implementation of his estate plan including the trust documents. Mr. Praske as his attorney has an ethical obligation to comply with that request. Mr. Gaggero for requests, 1-5, 7-10, 15, asserts that responsive documents are believed to be -in.-Mr~Praske'spossessioii -orcontr6l: Firsf,MI. -Gagge:fo~ pmslianf [6-the Code-6fCivil Procedure Section 2031.230, must affirm that a diligent search and a reasonable inquiIy has been made in an effort to comply with that demand. To the extent Mr. Gaggero claims that he is unable to comply, he must state whether the inability to comply is because the partiCUlar item or category has never existed, has been destroyed, has been lost, misplaced or stolen, or has never been, or is no longer, in the possession, custody or control ofthe responding party. The statement shall set forth the name and address of any natural person or organization known or believed by .. thaflfarty to-have- possession;-eustoay or-control of th:atitem or-categ-ory-ufitem:11- Second,-we-· ----~~~are_aware_that-Ivfr-;-GaggeF0~in-an0ther-lawsuit-has-fileEl-a-m0ti0n-f0r-pf0teGtiv~0fEler-felating-t0~-~-·-~-­ his trust documents. Clearly he is fully aware whether Mr. Praske has possession of the trust documents, but is intentionally refusing to comply with his obligation.

    May 10,2012 Page 5 PRIVILEGELOG California Code of Civil Procedure § 2031.240(b)(1) requires Mr. Gaggero to identify with particularity documents withheld pursuant to any objection, including but not limited to claims of privilege. Hernandez v. Superior Court (2003) 112 Cal. App. 4th 285, 291. Mr. Gaggero is required to set forth clearly the extent of, and the specific ground for, the objection. If an objection is based on a claim of privilege, the particular privilege invoked shall be stated. If an objection is based on a claim that the information sought is protected work product under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 2018.010), that claim shall be expressly asserted. Code Civ. Proc. §§ 2031.240(b)(1), (2). The purpose of a privilege log is to provide a specificfactual description of documents in aid of substantiating a claim of privilege in connection with a request for document production. Hernandez, supra 112 Cal. App. 4th 285 at 292 citing Korea Data Systems Co. v. Superior Court (1997) 51 Cal. App. 4th 1513, 1516-1517. The information in a privilege log or accompanying any other claim of privilege must be sufficientiy specific to permit the triai court to determine whether each withheld document is or is not privileged. Kaiser Found. Hosp. v. Superior Court (1998) 66 Cal. App. 4th 1217, 1228. Gaggero has not established that any ofthe documents he is seeking to withhold is subject to any privilege. During our meet and confer you stated you would produce a privilege log, which you have failed to provide. Please note that objections made to requests for production of documents that do not exists or are not in the attorney's or party's possession violate an attorney's ethical duty under the Business and Professions Code to act truthfully and constitute bad faith. Bihun v. ATTInfo. Sys. (1993) 13 Cal. App. 4th 976, 991 n 5. Attorney-Client Privilege: The party claiming the attorney-client privilege has the burden of establishing the preliminary facts necessary to support its exercise, i.e., a communication made in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Costco Wholesale COlp. v. Superior Court, (2009) 47 Cal. 4th 725, 733 (citations omitted).

    1--·- I May 10,2012 Page 6 -WorkProduct Privilege: The attorney work product doctrine protects the mental processes of the attorney. The privilege does not protect notes made by attorney while attorney was acting as business agent for a client. Watt Industries, Inc. v. Superior Court of City and County ofSan Francisco (1981) 115 CaLApp.3d 802. Similarly, a report which is not the product of an attorney or his agents or employees is not an attorney work product, and an attorney cannot, by retroactive adoption, convert the independent work of another, already performed, into his own. Bank ofthe Orient v. Superior Court City and County ofSan Francisco ( 1977) 67 CaLApp.3d 588. Information regarding events provable at trial or identity and location of physical evidence cannot be brought within work product privilege simply by transmitting it to attorney. Mack v. Superior Court In andFor Sacramento County (1968) 259 Cal.App.2d 7. Mr. Gaggero, as the party who is seeking to assert this privilege has [t]he burden of showing the need for such protection. San Diego Professional Assn. v. Superior Court (1962) 58 Cal. 2d 194, 204. Mr. Gaggero must provide a specificfactual description for each document withheld sufficient to substantiate a claim of privilege in connection with a request for document production. Hernandez, supra 112 CaL App. 4th 285 at 292 citing Korea Data Systems Co. v. Superior Court (1997) 51 CaL App. 4th 1513, 1516-1517. Mr. Gaggero has asserted the attorney client and attorney-work product privilege for every response without identifying which documents, if any, is subject to a particular privilege. Additionally, for each response, in addition to the attorney-client and attorney work-product privilege, Mr. Gaggero asserts numerous other objections. Such objections, as previously explained, are improper as it provides no explanation as to how the objection is proper or how it applies in the context used. See, Korea Data Systems Co. Ltd v. Sup. Ct. (Amazing Technologies Corp.) (1997) 51 Cal. App. 4th 1513, 1516-1517. Mr. Gaggero is required to provide a privilege log for every response. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PRIVACY Constitutional Right to Privacy: Mr. Gaggero asserts in response to each request an objection based on his and third parties' Constitutional right to privacy. Because Mr. Gaggero failed to -identirydocuments- ptirsuiinl -tf anydaiID-oCpnvilegeas requrredby Civir -Code Sections 2031.240(b)(1) and (2) it is entirely unclear to what extent or what documents Mr. Gaggero purports are private. Presumably, these documents relate to Mr. Gaggero's assets, estate plan, and other finances. As stated above, these documents are directly relevant to KPC's enforcement oftheir judgment in this case. It is well settled that the right of privacy is not absolute and may be abridged to accommodate a compelling public interest. Moskowitz v.

    May 10,2012 Page 7 --,,) AlthoughMr. Gaggero was candid about his estate plan in the Gaggero v. Yura trial he has taken every opportunity to impede KPC's efforts to obtain information relating to that estate plan. He has provided frivolous objections and no documents in response to any ofKPC's post-judgment request for production of documents. You are aware that KPC filed a motion to compel responses to post-judgment special interrogatories. Rather than provide further responses, Mr. Gaggero appealed the trial court's ruling. Mr. Gaggero even refused to answer the simple question ofhis current address claiming he had a Constitutional right to privacy. In fact, it is precisely because of Mr. Gaggero's refusal to provide information about the estate plan through post-judgment special interrogatories that KPC has been forced to expend time and resources in requesting documents dating back to the implementation of his estate plan, assets, and asset transfers. There is no doubt Mr. Gaggero continues to have full access and control over the assets and money transferred into the estate, yet he has refused to satisfy his legal obligation toKPC. Mr. Gaggero has not and cannot set forth a compelling reason to assert the Constitutional right to privacy on his and third parties behalf in this enforcement proceeding. Mr. Gaggero cannot selectively assert the Constitutional right to privacy relating to his estate plan when it is to his benefit. Finally, because each response includes multiple objections it is entirely unclear whether any documents have in fact been withheld on this ground. Mr. Gaggero must identify documents withheld pursuant to the Constitutional right to privacy and identify whether he is asserting it on his behalfor on behalfof a third party. r......---....--.-.------..--.

    May 10,2012 Page 8 SPECIFICRESPONSES /) The following addresses objections asserted for each request other than relevance, attorney-client privilege, work-product privilege, and/or Constitutional right to privacy which has been discussed above. ESTATE PLAN Request No.1: All DOCUMENTS that RELATE to the Arenzano Trust. Mr. Gaggero refuses to produce documents on the grounds that (1) that the request is unlimited as to scope and time, overly broad, unduly burdensome and harassing, and (2) the trust is an irrevocable trust created 14 years ago, Gaggero does not control the trust, and is not entitled to any distributions. As discussed above, Mr. Gaggero's objection that the trust is irrevocable, created 14 years ago, and that he does not control it or is entitled to any distributions is baseless and an improper ground to refuse to comply with this request. Mr. Gaggero, after completion of the estate plan and transfer ofall legal title retained substantial control over the assets. While he now purports to have no control and it not entitled to distributions he clearly has full control and authority over the entity or individual that does have control of the trust. In any event, KPC is entitled to all documents relating to the Arenzano Trust to aid in the enforcement oftheir judgment. Additionally, to the extent that the request is expansive- it is directly because of Mr. Gaggero's- decision to implement an estate plan designed to cheat his creditors. We will not limit the time period for responsive documents; however, we will limit the scope of this request to the following categories ofdocuments relating to the Arenzano Trust since its inception: e Arenzano Trust documents or any document establishing the Arenzano Trust; e Documents that are incorporated by reference or referred to in the Arenzano Trust documents, but which do not constitute the Arenzano Trust documents; e Amendments, revisions, or modifications to the Arenzano Trust; e Arenzano Trust Property, including all documents relating to the disposition, acquisition, fmancing, sale, transfer, or exchange; e Management ofthe Arenzano Trust; ----------e-Ownersbip-of-the-Arenzano-Trust; l- I e Trustor, Trustee, Beneficiaries, Nominee Trustee, Registered agent, and Secretary, if any; --- - -e---'frust-AQ:visof.,-'I'-rust-P-J:otector(sj-or-an:y-per-sol1,-entity,--or-£oundatioll--with-an-y--r-ights--or--- authority over the administration ofthe Arenzano Trust otArelizafiO Trust PfOpertySmce the implementation ofthe Arenzano Trust;

We are aware, as you know, that Mr. Gaggero transferred his ownership interest in his 3,500 acre ranch to the Giganin trust and is the beneficiary of the trust. KPC is entitled to all documents relating to the Giganin Trust to determine Mr. Gaggero's interests in the property. Mr. Gaggero's remaining objections are without merit. We will not agree to limit the time period for responsive documents, however, we will, agree to limit the scope of this request to the following categories of documents relating to the Giganin Trust since its inception: • Giganin Trust documents and any document implementing the Giganin Trust; • Documents that are incorporated by reference or referred to in the Giganin Trust documents; but which do not constitute the Giganin Trustdocuments; • Amendments, revisions, or modifications to the Giganin Trust; • Giganin Trust Property; • Ownership ofthe Giganin Trust; 1~--------·--Management-of-the-6iganin-'Frtlst; Ir- - - I • Trustor, Trustee, Beneficiaries, other individuals or entities with rights or obligations -under the-Giganin Trust;

Request No.3: All DOCUMENTS that RELATE to the Aquasante Foundation. Mr. Gaggero refuses to produce documents on the grounds that (1) that the request is unlimited as to scope and time, overly broad, unduly burdensome and harassing, (2) the trust is an irrevocable trust created 14 years ago, Mr. Gaggero does not control it, and is not entitled to any distributions. Mr. Gaggero identified the Aquasante Foundation as the foundation that is part ofhis estate plan. KPC is entitled to documents that will reveal information about the foundation, jurisdiction of the foundation, and Mr. Gaggero's interest, rights, and assets in the foundation, whether direct or indirect via his entities and trusts. We will not agree to limit the time period for responsive documents, however, we will, agree to limit the scope ofthis request to the following categories of documents relating to the Aquasante Foundation: • Declaration of Establishment or any other document relating to the establishment of the Aquasante Foundation; • Founder, Guardian, Beneficiary, Secretary, and Registered Agent; • -Folinaation-CoiliiCiI-anClIor Managefnetit BoClyincludihg individuals;-ehtities,trtIsts~ -ot - other foundations; • Supervisory Board; • Foundation Charter and!or by-laws; • - Foundation properlY,-assets,-arid -endoWinent,iricltidirig,Dufiloflfuiited to, ownership-of - -~---~--~~~entities-andfor-trusts; • Provisions for management and administration of the foundation not included in the Declaration ofEstablishment; 1- -- -- - ----------- ------- --. -- -- - - - ~ ~ ~- -- - ---~ -~- - ~ ~- - - - - - -- ---- ---~- ~-- ------ ------------~~ -~ - ~ I • Amendments, modification, changes, and revisions to the Declaration ofEstablisbment;

Request No.4: All DOCUMENTS that·RELATE to any trust or foundation that is part ofYOUR ESTATE PLAN Mr. Gaggero refuses to produce documents because (1) definition of Estate Plan is overly broad and imposes a 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. 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 of KPC'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. We will, however, agree to limit to this request to the following categories of documents, regardless ofhis present income interest, relating to the Estate Plan: 1.

Additionally the request seeks documents that relate to any post-judgment discovery. We will agree to exclude from this request any communications relating to Mr. Gaggero's responses with his attorneys, however, KPC is entitled to the post-judgment discovery propounded to Mr. Gaggero, Mr. Gaggero's responses, and any documents produced in response to any post-judgment discovery.

First, Ms. Masters stated that you were seeking a 2 day extension to respond to the Request for Production of Documents. She indicated that you would produce documents, however, that was not clear. Nevertheless, I agreed to the 2 day extension conditioned on a similar extension for our motion to compel. The deadline to respond to Request for Production of Documents (Set Two) as revised in my meet and confer dated May 10, 2012 will be extended from May 22, 2012 to May 24, 2012. Our new deadline to file a motion to compel is May 31, 2012. There has been substantia! de!ays in producing responsive documents so this wi!! be our !ast extension. Ms. Masters also inquired whether we would be willing to reconsider our position to the protective order in the debtor exam. While we remain willing to address Mr. Gaggero's right to privacy we cannot agree to the protective order as you have filed. First, the debtor examination proceedings are public and there is no compelling interest to justify excluding the public in this case. Second, the protective order seeks to preclude KPC from using the debtor examination in any other proceeding, including in defending against the present malpractice case. We cannot agree to those unreasonable restrictions. At this time we plan to oppose the motion, however, we are willing to discuss a protective order agreeable to both parties: Sincerely, Austa Wakily Austa Wakily -MillerTLLP~ ..

    Austa Wakily From: Sent: To: Subject: Mr. Chatfield, AustaWakily Friday, May 25, 2012 9:30 AM 'david chatfield' RE: Gaggero v. Knapp, Petersen Clarke Pursuant to our agreement, documented in my emails to you and your response, we agreed to extend your deadline to respond to the meet and confer to May 22, 2012 and then another extension to May 24, 2012. You are well aware that the deadline was no longer May 15, 2012 and have had considerable time to reply given that the requests were served on January 31, 2012 and your assurance that you would provide documents and a privilege log by April 30, 2012. With respect to the protective order- we would have appreciated the professional courtesy of an informal attempt to reach an agreement without the necessity of filing a protective order. I briefly reviewed the protective order in which you state that you attempted to meet and confer regarding a protective order on the request for production of documents on May 1, 2010. In support of your motion you include false statements about the our May 1, 2012 telephone conversation. You called me on May 1, 2012 for two reasons both relating to the debtor examination of Mr. Gaggero set on May 9, 2012. First, you stated that neither you or Mr. Gaggero was available for the debtor exam scheduled on May 9, 2012. Second, you requested a protective order with respect to the debtor examination. You did not provide any explanation justifying either request and on that basis I disagreed. You filed that protective order 3 days later to obstruct our efforts to take the debtor examination of Mr. Gaggero. At no time did you discuss a protective order for the Request for Production of Documents (Set Two). Your assistant Dawn Masters called me to request that I reconsider my position relating to the protective order for the debtor examination. My email to you and Ms. Masters on May 21, 2012 at 4:16 pm documents our conversation and addresses the protective order for the debtor examination. Nevertheless, we will file the motion to compel in light of your client's continued refusal to cooperate in post-judgment discovery. We can resolve all issues relating to the protective order before the Court. Finally, we will supplement our motion for post-judgment enforcement costs to reflect the additional costs incurred as a result of Mr. Gaggero's tactics. Sincerely, Austa From: david chatfield [mailto:davidblakec@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 9:58 PM To: austa@millerllp.com Subject: Gaggerov; Knapp,Petersen- Clarke Dear Ms. Wakily, Below is the cover letter for the documents that were mailed to you today.

    Austa Wakily MillerLLP 515 SouthFlower Street, Suite 2150 Los Angeles, CA 90071-2201 ) Re: Gaggero v. Knapp, Petersen Clarke BC286925 Dear Ms. Wakily, This letter is in short response to your letter ofMay 10,2012, thatwas not received by me until May 14,2012 and, because ofthat, I was unable to provide you with a substantive response by the May 15,2012 to the deadline. A more lengthy response will follow under separate cover to address in more detail the assertions made in your May 10, 2012 letter. Attached to this letter are some documents responsive to your Requests for Production, we are still gathering documents that will be produced in the near future. In addition, we intend to produce additional documents after the court enters a protective order in this matter. We have filed a motion for protective order because you have not agreed to stipulate to a protective order relating to the discovery in this matter. Ifyou are willing to stipulate to the Court's entry ofthe proposed protective order we have filed with the Court let me know. At this time we are in the process of completing the second supplemental response to KPC's Second Set of Production responses that have been modified andlor limited by your May 10, 2012 letter, including our statement of compliance and additional compliance conditioned upon entry ofthe protective order. I expect to have the second supplemental responses completed by tomorrow at which time I will be sending it to our client for review, comments andlor verification. As soon as I receive back a returned verification to the responses I will send them to you.

Knapp, Petersen Clarke Mr. Chatfield, Your deadline to produce the documents and privilege log was April 30, 2012 and extended based on the narrowed scope of requests to May 24, 2012 (yesterday). There is simply no basis to rely on your further assurances that you will comply or are in the process of complying rather than actual compliance. We have expended substantial time and energy in our efforts to obtain the documents we requested on January 31, 2012. Finally, we fully intend to recoup all costs that have been incurred as a result of your client's abuse of the meet and confer process.

Knapp, Petersen Clarke Dear Ms. Wakily, I'm sure that you must do what you have been instructed to do. Your threatened motion to compel appears to be unwarranted, premature, and punitive. As stated previously, our second supplemental responses that we are preparing to send out to you will state whether any documents are being withheld under a claim of privilege and will identify any such documents as required by c.c.P. 2031.240. We again ask that you reconsider your threatened actions. If there are issues that still need to be resolved, after you receive the second supplemental set of responses and document production in progress, then we do so informally utilizing the required meet and confer process.

We ask that you reconsider your threatened actions and if there are issues that need to be resolved, after you receive the second supplemental set of responses, after the motion for protective order is heard, and after the ultimate document production, that we do so informally utilizing the required meet and confer process.

    · )scheduled onMay 9,2012. Second, you' requested a protective order with respect10 the debtor examination. You did not provide any explanation justifying either request and on that basis I disagreed. You filed that protective order 3 days later to obstruct our efforts to take the debtor examination of Mr. Gaggero. At no time did you discuss a protective order for the Request for Production of Documents (Set Two). Your assistant Dawn Masters called me to request that I reconsider my position relating to the protective order for the debtor examination. My email to you and Ms. Masters on May 21, 2012 at 4:16 pm documents our conversation and addresses the protective order for the debtor examination. Nevertheless, we will file the motion to compel in light of your client's continued refusal to cooperate in post-judgment discovery. We can resolve all issues relating to the protective order before the Court. Finally, we will supplement our motion for post-judgment enforcement costs to reflect the additional c:osts incurred as a result of Mr. Gaggero's tactics.

    0... ....J ....J n:: W ....J ....J ~ 1 I. INTRODUCTION -2Judgment Debtor Stephen Gaggero, fIfteen (15) years ago, transferred all of his personal 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 assets, worth $35,000,000, into corporations, general partnerships, limited partnership, limited liability companies, and self-settled trusts as part of an estate plan. Implementing the estate plan involved two steps. First, Gaggero transferred his assets into a limited liability company or limited partnership in which he owned completely. Second, he transferred his ownership interest in those entities to one ofhis trusts or foundation. Gaggero's primary residence, a 3,500 acre ranch, is also owned by one of these trusts. By 1999 he had absolutely nothing in his personal name. Consequently, he conducts all personal and business matters through his trusts or business entities. Gaggero continues to exert full control over all of the assets in the estate as the asset manager and has absolute authority to command payment ofmoney by the trusts. With the assistance of his attorneys, David ChatfIeld and Joseph Praske, Gaggero has used this estate plan to avoid his obligation on a $1,520,943.30 judgment, now over $2,000,000, entered against him by this Court. Gaggero has not only boldly touted his estate plan impenetrable, but he and his attorneys have steadfastly refused to respond to post-judgment discovery claiming that the information relating to his trusts or entities is irrelevant, invades third party privacy rights, attorney client privilege, and other frivolous objections. When pushed - he simply claims to have no responsive documents or information, then appeals. When ordered by this Court to provide - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - further responses - Gaggero disregarded it in its entirety. Gaggero's behavior is entirely consistent with this Court's observations in the underlying trial. This Court, for exari:lple, found Gaggero, was often argumentative or evasive or deliberately obtuse in his answers. Gaggero was wildly evasive [w]hen asked about his various trusts, foundations, corporations and other entities supposedly created as part of his estate plan~ The Court noted similar credibility issues for Gaggero's attorney, ChatfIeld. This motion seeks to remedy that tack. __ Jlldgm~ptQr~djJQI:sJl;lftPp,-:p-~t~r~~]l an,(tCJark~'s,_St~mh~l1lS-C!YQa[(ict's, __St~pb~l.l.:fImIi§',- ~~.-.-~ ----- - ._--- - -- --'- ~--- ---- and Andre Jardini's (collectively referred to as KPC) efforts to obtain post-judgment discovery- - - - - - - - --- -- - - -- -- - - - -- - - - - - - - ---- - - ---- - ---- - -- have been frustrated by steady stream of smoke and mirrors, carefully orchestrated by GMgero -1- NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION TO AMEND JUDGMENT TO ADD JUDGMENT DEBTORS

    a.. ....J ....J 0:: W .....I ....J ~ 1 and hiscounseL Basic discovery designed to ferret out the structure of Gaggero's assets have 2 been met with frivolous responses and antagonism by Gaggero and his attorney, Chatfield. KPC is 3 further discouraged by the fact that the transfers occurred in 1997- beyond the limitations period 4 for fraudulent conveyance. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Ironically, the Court may recall, it was Gaggero who insisted on attorney fees provisions in all his attorney-client retainer agreements (he has hired and fired dozens of lawyers), including those with defendant, KPC, whom he - according to the Gaggero script - sued for legal malpracticefor every matter they ever represented him. Gaggero's modus operandi was to use the attorney fee provision to whipsaw his former counsel into favorable resolutions after he sued them, yet when hoisted on his own petard, Gaggero unabashedly asserted·that his assets were impervious to execution. Such a one-way street cannot stand. Fortunately, the California Legislature enacted Civil Code Section 187 to address precisely this situation. Section 187 grants courts the authority to use all necessary means to carry its jurisdiction into effect, even those not provided for by statute, to compel obedience to its judgments, orders, and process. Under the plain language of Section 187 and case law interpreting the statute this Court has broad authority to amend the judgment to add Gaggero's alter egos. Pursuant to Section 187, KPC seeks to add Gaggero's trusts and foundation as judgment debtors through Praske, as the trustee. KPC also seeks to pierce seven business entities controlled 19 by Gaggero: one corporation and six limited partnerships and limited liability companies. Pacific 20 Coast Management, a Nevada corporation, is in essence Gaggero's personal bank account, and 21 unmistakably his alter ego. The limited partnerships and limited liability companies were created 22 by Gaggero solely as a vehicle to transfer his ownership interest in properties to his trusts. The 23 entities have no business purpose other than to shield Gaggero's assets, thus, should be f--~~~--~- 24 disregarded and added as judgment debtors as Gaggero's alter ego.

    i -- - ! a.. ....J ....J 1KPC, therefore, respectfully requests that this Court add Gaggero's alter egos and/or the 2 real parties in interest: Pacific Coast Management, Inc., 511 OFW, LP, Gingerbread Court, LP, 3 Malibu BroadBeach, LP, Marina Glencoe, LP, Blu House, LLC, and Boardwalk Sunset, LLC, and 4 Joseph Praske as trustee ofthe Giganin Trust, Arenzano Family Trust, and Aquasante Foundation. 5 This motion also seeks to add any successors to the entities, trusts, or foundation as judgment 6 debtors. 7 8 II. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND 9 A. UNDERLYING MALPRACTICE ACTION RESULTING IN JUDGMENT AGAINST GAGGERO 10 11 Gaggero retained the law firm ofKnapp, Petersen Clarke to handle a number ofmatters, 12 including five lawsuits that are the basis ofthe underlying judgment. The cases included: Gaggero 13 v. Venice North Beach Coalition (VNC) which involved a malicious prosecution case filed by 14 against a group of homeowners who unsuccessfully opposed one of his real estate developments. 15 The suit was dismissed as a result of an anti-SLAPP motion and VNBC was awarded 16 approximately $100,000 in attorneys' fees (approximately 150,000 at the time Gaggero retained 17 KPC); Gaggero v. Stacey involved a lawsuit filed by Gaggero against the attorney who handled 18 the VNBC matter for legal malpractice. KPC obtained a $350,000 judgment for Gaggero; First 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Federal Bank v. Blanchard (First Federal 1) involved a deficiency judgment against Gaggero (formerly known as Blanchard); Gaggero v. First Federal Bank (First Federal 2) involved a lawsuit filed by Gaggero against First Federal Bank for wrongful foreclosure. Gaggero was awarded $200,000 in damages and $750,000 in attorney fees. Slocumb v. Gaggero involved a -- -- - - - - - . -- - lawsuit against Gaggero for attorneys' fees in the amount of about $150,000 for work done on First Federal 2. Declaration ofAusta Wakily (A.W.

Gaggero appealed the decision, which was subsequently affIrmed. (Id., ,-r 2, Exb.. A-2). 3 KPC fIled an amended judgment on May 2010 including additional attorneys' fees and costs on 4 appeal. (ld., ,-r 3, Exb.. B). KPC has since been unsuccessful in enforcing the judgment against 5 Gaggero. 6 B. ESTATE PLAN 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Gaggero, in or about 1997, began the creation of an estate plan to protect his substantial wealth. (Id., ,-r 4, Exb.. Cat 94:10-15, 95:3-9). Gaggero worked with his estate planning attorney, Praske, to transfer all assets and property he personally owned, including his 3,500 acre personal residence, to various limited liability companies, general partnerships, limited partnerships, and. corporations. (ld., ,-r 7, Exb.. F pp. 935-939). Gaggero fIrst transferred all his assets into limited liability companies and limited partnerships. (Id., ,-r 4, Exb.. C at 96:9-19). Every asset that Gaggero owned prior to the completion ofhis estate plan was owned 100% by him either by virtue of his membership interest in the company, shares in the corporations, or direct title to the property. (Id., ,-r 4, Exh. C at 100:10-14). Gaggero transferred approximately $35,000,000 to $40,000,000 from his personal portfolio to an entity. (ld., ,-r 4, Exh. C at 104:22-26). Upon Gaggero's transfer of his assets to the various entities he would transfer his full ownership interests in those companies to one ofhis trusts. (ld., ,-r 7, Exh. F at 935:23-28, 936:1). At the end ------~--- ~--- 19 20 21 22 - 23 24 ofthe day, all of Gaggero's property was held by either a limited partnership or a limited liability company, which in tum, is owned by one ofhis trusts. (Id., ,-r 7, Exh. F at 937:1-7). As of2005 the value ofthe assets in the estate has increased substantially. (Id.,,-r 7, Exb.. F at 942:8-10). Gaggero's estate is comprised of three trusts (two trusts and one foundation), multiple -- - -- - -- - _. - - - - partnerships, and multiple corporations. (Id., ,-r 5, Exb.. D at 309:19-21). The three trusts are the Giganin Trust, Arenzano Trust, and Aqua Sante Foundation. (Id., ,-r 7, Exb.. F at 936:25-28). The 27 personal residence is owned by another one of Gaggero's trusts, either the Arenzano Trust or:------~-l- 28 -4- NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION TO AMEND JUDGMENT TO ADD JUDGMENT DEBTORS

The Arenzano Trust is an off-shore trust organized under the laws ofAnguilla -known for its strong asset protection laws. (Id., 'i[20, Exh. S at 69:1-11). The Aqua Sante Foundation is the third trust identified by Praske and Gaggero as comprising Gaggero's estate. (ld., 'i[7, Exh. F at 936:25-28). All of Gaggero's assets have been transferred to an entity that is owned by one ofthese three trusts. (Id., 'i[7, Exh. F at 937:1-7). All of Gaggero's personal and business matters are handled through his alter ego entities. In fact, one of the entities owned by Gaggero's trusts pays his utility bills, food expenses, dog's veterinary bills, and provides him with a car. (ld., 'i['i[12, l3, 20, Exh. K at 69:22-28; Exh. L at 47:9-10; Exh. Sat 80:21-25,81:1-4). Praske, as the trustee of the trusts, has control over all the entities and assets in the estate plan. (Id., 'i[5, Exh. D at 3l3: 12-14). Praske is the trustee ofthe trusts or foundation that owns the shares to the corporations. (Id., 'i[5, Exh. D at 3l3:1-8). He is the trustee, managing member, or majority membership owner with 100% ownership of all the various entities. (Id., 'i[ 5, Exh. D at 3l3:1-8). Praske's role, however, is limited to advice. (Id., 'i[10, Exh. I at 4028:11-15). Gaggero has retained control over his wealth as the asset manager of all the assets. (Id., 'i[ 5, Exh. D at 314:4-7) (emphasis added). In this capacity, Gaggero is in charge of refinancing, dealing with tax issues, insurance issues, making decisions to... buy or sell the asset, to improve the asset, overseeing any improvement to the asset, financing, designing some ultimate disposition 19 of the asset. (Id., 'i[4, Exh. Cat 110:12-19). Gaggero makes determination as to the highest and 20 best use of all the assets. (Id., 'i[ 4, Exh. C at 115:15-20). He also represented the trust in 21 negotiating the purchase of a $1,500,000 ocean front property in Santa Monica. (Id., 'i[4, Exh. Cat 22 110:3-9). According to Praske, Gaggero is the decisionmaker with respect to all the real estate - - --- - -~- --- --- - -- --- - -- - -- - - - - - 23 held in the estate plan and he looks to him in making those determinations. (Id., 'i['i[8, 10, Exh. G at 24 1002:25-28; Exh. I at 4028:2-19). 27 Trust. (Id., 'i[ 7, Exh. F at 936:25-28).

    a.. .....I .....I c::: W .....I .....I ) 1 Aqua SanteFoundation. (Id, ~ 7, Exh. F pp. 994-995). He is the beneficiary of the Giganin Trust 2 in the sense that it is his personal residence. (Id., ~ 7, Exh. F at 937:24-28). Praske is the trustee of 3 all three trusts. (Id, ~ 7, Exh. F at 995:18-19). Praske was retained by all of the entities that 4 comprised part of Gaggero's estate. (Id, ~ 7, Exh. F at 905:1-2). The trusts own entities created 5 by Gaggero for the sole purpose of owning real property. (Id, ~ 20, Exh. S pp. 40-49, 53-55). 6 Praske is the agent for service of process for all entities associated with Gaggero. (Id, ~~ 16-17, 7 Exh. 0, P). The business addresses ofthe various entities are also identical. (Id, ~~ 16-17, Exh. 0, 8 P). While there are numerous other entities and trusts that are part of Gaggero's estate, KPC, has 9 sufficient evidence to support the alter ego liability for the trusts and entities identified in this 10 motion. KPC will file additional motions to amend this judgment, as necessary, to pierce 11 Gaggero's asset protection plan. 12 C. POST-JUDGMENT DISCOVERY EFFORTS 13 Because Gaggero transferred all ownership interest in his assets to various entities, trusts, 14 and foundation he refuses to respond to post-judgment discovery asserting that he has no 15 attachable interest. (Id, ~ 18, Exh. Q). Gaggero further asserts that any information related to his 16 corporations, partnerships, trusts or foundation are irrelevant and violate the privacy rights of third 17 parties. (Id, ~~ 18-19, Exh. Q, R). 18 KPC, after numerous appeals and stays in the underlying matter, served post-judgment 19 Special Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents (Set One) on April 25, 2011. 20 Despite a three week extension, Gaggero did not produce any documents in response to the 21 Requests. (Id, ~ 18). With respect to the special interrogatories, Gaggero provided evasive and 22 frivolous responses. (Id, ~ 18, Exh. Q). KPC filed a motion to compel further responses to post- 23 judgment special interrogatories on August 9, 2011. This Court granted the motion to compel on- - - - - - - 1 24 October 5, 2011 ordering Gaggero to provide further responses without objection and awarded 2S~m;:tQtiOJ:),~_~gam~tGCtgg~IOaJ:l.gJlis...cQUP~~1 in.the_amoW1to:(.$2~7QQ,{Jq'J~_._l~,_E?W.,-.N)..G~gg~tQ_. 26 has ignored the court's order in its entirety. 27 28 -6- NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION TO AMEND JUDGMENT TO ADD JUDGMENT DEBTORS

(Id., ~ 19). KPC granted 3 Gaggero and extension to March 20, 2012 to accommodate his travel/vacation schedule. (Id., ~ 4 19). Gaggero again failed to produce any documents including only boilerplate and improper 5 objections based on relevance and invasion of privacy. (Id., ~ 19, Exh. R). Further post-judgment 6 discovery propounded to Gaggero will be similarly futile without amendment ofjudgment. 7 8 m. DISCUSSION 9 A. TillS COURT HAS AUTHORITY TO AMEND THE JUDGMENT TO ADD 10 11 12 GAGGERO'S ALTER EGOS AS JUDGMENT DEBTORS 1. Courts Have Inherent Authority to Prevent Frustration, Abuse, Or Disregard of Their Process 13 Every court has the power to compel obedience to its judgments, orders, and process in an 14 action or proceeding pending before it, and to use all necessary means to carry its jurisdiction 15 into effect, even if those means are not specifically pointed out in statutes. Code Civ. Proc. §187; 16 Fairfield v. Superior Court fa! Los Angeles County (1966) 246 Cal. App. 2d 113, 120 (emphasis 17 added). In order to see that justice is done, great liberality is encouraged in allowing amendments 18 brought pursuant to Section 187. Misik v. DArco (2011) 197 Cal. App. 4th 1065, 1075. Section 19 187 authorizes a court to amend its judgment to impose liability upon an alter ego who had control 20 ,ofthe litigation, and was therefore represented in it. Alexander v. Abbey ofthe Chimes (1980) 104 21 Cal.App.3d 39, 45. Here, Gaggero clearly has full control of the estate plan and continues to 22 access all its resources as he sees fit. The trusts and entities in Gaggero's estate are his alter egos 23 and shoull be -alcled- as judgment debtors. Thls judgmfmt has little, if any, effect without an 24 amendment to the judgment piercing Gaggero's estate plan. 25 26 27 be the assets of the individual for the purpose_ of satisfying a claim.

Although the doctrine is most often applied to corporations, it also applies to trusts. Id at 520-521; In re SchwarzkopJ(9th Cir.2010) 626 F.3d 1032, 1037-1040. Because a trust is not a legal entity, the proper procedure to reach trust property is to sue the trustee in his or her representative capacity. Galdjie v. Darwish (2003) 113 CaLAppAth 1331, 1343. Additionally, equitable. ownership in a trust is sufficient to meet the ownership requirement for purposes of alter ego liability. Id at 1339. KPC, therefore, seeks to add Joseph Praske, as trustee ofGaggero's trusts. Alter ego liability exists when two conditions are met: First, there is such a unity ofinterest and ownership that the individuality, or separateness, ofthe individual and corporation has ceased; and, Second, adherence to the fiction ofthe separate existence ofthe corporation would sanction a fraud or promote injustice. Greenspan, supra 191 Cal.AppAth. at 511. Factors suggesting an alter ego relationship include, in part: the identical equitable ownership in the two entities; the treatment by an individual of the assets of the corporation as his own; the use of the same office or business location; the employment of the same employees and/or attorney; the use of a corporation as a mere shell, instrumentality or conduit for a single venture or the business of an individual or another corporation; the concealment and misrepresentation of the identity of the responsible ownership, management and fmancial interest, or concealment of personal business 18 activities; the disregard of legal formalities and the failure to maintain arm's length relationships 19 among related entities; the diversion of assets from a corporation by or to a stockholder or other 20 person or entity, to the detriment of creditors, or the manipulation of assets between entities so as 21 to concentrate the assets in one and the liabilities in another and; commingling of funds and other 22 assets and failure to segregate funds of the separate entities.

    0.. ....J ....J 0::: w ....J ....J (-,), . ); 1 Applyingthe above factors, there is no doubt that the trusts comprising Gaggero's estate 2 plan are his alter egos. As stated above, the plan took several months to implement and involved 3 two key steps. First, Gaggero transferred all his assets to corporations, limited liability companies, 4 or limited partnerships in which he had 100% ownership interest. (Id., ~ 4, Exh. Cat 100:10-14). 5 Second, Gaggero transferred his ownership interests in the various business entities in one of his 6 three self-settled trusts. (Jd., ~~ 4,7, Exh. C at 100:10-14; Exh. F pp. 936). Gaggero, at the end of 7 the day, concealed all his assets in an entity owned by his trusts. By implementing the estate plan 8 Gaggero is forcing his creditors to penetrate multiple layers of sham entities in order to ultimately 9 pierce his estate plan. All of his personal and investment matters are handled through the sham 10 entities that are owned by his trusts. 11 Gaggero's various trusts, foundation, and business entities are all part of one estate plan 12 (his estate). The trusts and entities in his estate plan constitute a single enterprise and have no 13 separate identity. (Id., ~ 6, Exh. E at 617:8-14). When asked how he would take title to a property, 14 Gaggero stated I could take this asset in my name, transfer it to an entity, a limited liability 15 company, a limited partnership, a general partnership, or a corporation, and then have one of the 16 trusts or the foundation subsume... that entity into the estate plan, just like I did the other 17 properties in 1997 and 1998. (Id., ~ 6, Exh. E at 617:8-14). Gaggero does not distinguish between 18 the different trusts or foundation in the estate plan, nor does he distinguish between the entities in 1----------------------- -~---------- ---------~-- --------~ -- ---------- --- --------~---- - ------ --------------------- --- -- - ------------------- ---- 19 the estate plan. Gaggero, in purchasing a property or asset, looks at the liquidity ofthe trust at the 20 time in determining how to acquire the property within his estate. (Jd., ~ 4, Exh. Cat 119:13-23). 21 Finally, all gains on the properties flow through Gaggero's tax returns via the trusts and all other 22 entities. (Id., ~ 10, Exh. I at 4035:4-7). 23 Gaggero also has retained full control over all assets in the trusts as the asset manager. (Id., 1----------1 24 ~~ 4, 9, Em. C at 120:2-6, 121:22-23; Exh. H pp. 3426). Gaggero testified that he always had - - . ._-.--- .. -.---- --.--~ -- -- --- - -- .- . - - ._- -- --_.--. -- ._---_..... - --- -.._--.- _. --~----~---. 26_trllst. (Id., '11_ 4~ Exh.

    , ) 1 resources topurchase this all cash or with a mortgage, and if there happened to be a 1031 2 exchange opportunity available, I would have exchanged it into one of the entities that were 3 owned by my trust. (Id, .~ 9, Exh. H pp. 3426-3427). Again, Gaggero looked at the estate as a 4 whole in determining how to acquire additional property. 5 Gaggero as the asset manager has authority to negotiate on behalf ofthe trust to purchase 6 properties. (Id, ~ 4, Exh. C at 110:3-9). He is in charge of refmancing, dealing with tax issues, 7 insurance issues, making decisions to buy or sell the asset, to improve the asset, overseeing any 8 improvement to the asset, fmancing, designing some ultimate disposition of the asset. (Id, ~ 4, 9 Exh. C at 110:12-19). Gaggero makes all decisions with respect to all the real estate held in the 10 estate plan and Praske follows his recommendations. (Id, ~ 8, Exh. Gat 1002:25..28). Ultimately, 11 all assets in the estate plan are controlled by Gaggero, as the equitable owner and asset manager. 12 (Id, ~ 8, Exh. Gat 1002:16-28, 1003:1-3). 13 Finally, both Gaggero and Praske refer to the trusts, foundation, entities, and its assets as 14 constituting Gaggero's estate plan or Gaggero's personal estate. (Id, ~~ 7, 9, Exh. F at 15 936:25-28; Exh. H at 3426: 5-8). Gaggero refers all assets within the estate plan as his assets or 16 my assets. (Id, ~ 6, Exh. E at 617:3-7). Praske also refers to the trusts as belonging to Gaggero. 17 (Id, ~ 7, Exh. F pp. 936-937). For example, in a declaration Praske stated that he is the trustee of 18 Gaggero's personal estate which has funds well in excess of $1,100,000. (Id, ~ 14, Exh. M). 19 Praske also described the Arenzano Trust, Giganin Trust, and Aqua Sante Foundation as the three 20 Trusts that are part of Gaggero's estate. (Id, ~~ 7, 14, Exh. F at 936:24-28; Exh. M). Gaggero 21 should not be permitted to access the funds and resources in his estate plan, which are clearly 22 under his control when it is to his benefit, but hide behind the same estate plan when it is to his ..• 23 detriment. The Giganin Trust, Arenzano Trust, and Aqua Sante Foundation, should therefore be 24 added as judgment debtors via Praske as the trustee. 26 27 28 ...

(ld., , 12, Exh. K at 39:17-21). Gaggero uses his alter ego, PCM to write checks on his behalf so as to avoid retaining any assets in his personal name, including a personal bank account. (ld, , 13, Exh. L at 47:9-10). Gaggero provides PCM money and PCM writes check on his behalf. (Id, '13, Exh. L at 47:9-10). Checks were written by PCM. I paid for it. I give PCM the money. PCM writes the checks. They write checks for me. They pay my utilities. They pay my credit card, they pay for my dog's vet bills. I mean PCM manages my life. They are a management company for me personally. (Id, ,12, Exh. Kat 69:22-28(emphasis added).. P.C.M. only manages my estates, entities, and assets (ld, , 13, Exh. L. at 47:9-10) (emphasis added). Although PCM pays for all of Gaggero's personal expenses and manages his life Gaggero could not answer basic questions·relating the entity. Gaggero did not know whether PCM had Articles of Incorporation, whether there were officers or directors, if he was a director, and when it was formed. (Id, , 12, Exh. K pp. 37- 39). PCM's in house counsel, Chatfield, similar did not know basic information relating to the entities, including the ownership, place of incorporation, and the entities that retained him as an in-house counsel. (Id, '2, Exh. A pp. 13- 14). PCM, clearly was established by Gaggero as part of the estate plan designed to evade creditors and has been used as his alter ego. Since PCM is willing to provide Gaggero money and 19 resources to pursue countless lawsuits, PCM should not have a problem paying adverse judgments 20 that arise from those lawsuits. PCM, therefore, should be added as a judgment debtor. 21 D. GAGGERO'S LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES AND LIMITEDPARTNERSHIPS 22 ARE IDS ALTER EGO AND THE REAL PARTIES IN INTEREST 23 Gaggero's limited liability companies and limited partnerships were created for the solec-------~I 24 purpose of taking legal title to his real property.

Praske is the agent for service of process for both 8 companies. (Id., ~ 17, Exh. P). Both companies have as their address 1473F South Victoria Ave, 9 Ste., 201. (Id. ~ 17, Exh. P). Blue House, LLC and Boardwalk Sunset, LLC are two ofthe entities 10 created as part of Gaggero's estate plan for the sole purpose of moving his property out creditors 11 reach. The entities, thus, should be disregarded and added as judgment debtors. (ld., ~ 4, Exh.

These limited partnerships were created on February 5, 15 1998 and have Praske listed as the agent for service of process. (ld., ~ 17, Exh. P). Malibu 16 Broadbeach, LP and Marina Glencoe, were established for the purpose the ownership of property 17 previously owned personally by Gaggero. (Id., ~~ 4, 10,20, Exh. Cat 104:16-21; Exh.

These 7 entities are Gaggero's alter ego and created for the sole purpose of shielding personal assets from 8 creditors.

PRESERVING THE SEPARATE EXISTENCE OF THE CORPORATIONS AND GAGGERO WILL SANCTION A FRAUD AND PRODUCE AN UNJUST RESULT The second requirement for application ofthe alter ego doctrine is fmding that the facts are such that adherence to the fiction of the separate existence of the corporation would sanction a fraud or promote injustice. Greenspan, supra 191 Cal.App.4th. at 511. The test for this requirement is that ifthe acts are treated as those ofthe corporation alone, it will produce an unjust or inequitable result. Mesler v. Bragg Management Co. (1985) 39 Cal.3d 290, 300. In this case allowing Gaggero to avoid his obligation through the use of his estate plan, set up to shield his personal assets from creditors, will result in an injustice to KPC and other creditors. Gaggero created the estate plan 15 years ago foreclosing claims for fraudulent conveyance. Additionally, piercing Gaggero's estate plan is likely to deter his continued disregard ofthis Court's orders and other court orders. F.

    fl. --I --I - ~ W --I --I -~ /) 1 1. PacificCoast Management Corporation 2 Pacific Coast Management isa Nevada corporation. (Id, ~ 19, Exh. R). Nevada law 3 recognizes reverse corporate piercing as an appropriate avenue to impose liability on a judgment 4 debtor's alter ego. The application of the doctrine is especially appropriate when the judgment 5 debtor uses an entity to hide assets or secretly conduct business as part of an attempt to avoid his 6 pre-existing liability. LFC Marketing Group, Inc. v. Loomis (2000) 116 Nev. 896, 903. As 7 discussed in detail above Pacific Coast Management, as an entity that manages Gaggero's life, is 8 clearly subject to alter ego liability. Because it is a Nevada corporation, and Nevada recognizes 9 reverse corporate piercing, Pacific Coast Management can properly be added as a judgment 10 debtor.! 11 2. Limited Liability Companies and Limited Partnerships 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Under California law an entity or series of entities created with no business purpose and simply as a means of shielding personal assets from creditor is viewed as the alter ego of the individual debtor and will be disregarded to prevent injustice. In re Turner, Bkrtcy. (N.D. Cal 2005) 335 B.R. 140, 146. California also recognizes the application of reverse-piercing to impose alter ego liability against a corporation for a judgment incurred by its sole shareholder. Taylor v. Newton (1953) 117 CaLApp.2d 752, 758-60; See e.g. Fleet Credit Corp. v. TML Bus Sales, Inc. (9th Cir.1995) 65 F.3d 119, 120 (it is beyond cavil that an inequitable result would follow were 19 the Court to permit the judgment debtor to shield himself with corporate form); But see Postal 20 Instant Press, Inc. v. Kaswa Corp. (2008) 162 CaLApp.4th 1510, 1518 (court refused to apply 21 reverse piercing where judgment creditors sought to use corporate assets to collect on a former 22 shareholder's personal debt). 23 California more recently addressed reverse-piercing in Postal Instant Press, Inc. supra, 1 - - - - - - - - 1 24 162 CaLAppAth at 1518.

Id. at 1522-1523. 5 Postal Instant Press does not address the situation, as is here, where an individual uses a 6 corporation or other entity as an alter ego to shelter personal assets rather than the other way 7 around. Postal Instant Press is inapposite. 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Assuming, however, that Postal Instant Press applies to Gaggero's business entities, KPC meets the standards to justify its application. Postal Instant Press recognized that there may be circumstances in which reverse piercing is acceptable. Id. at 1524. To apply reverse piercing ~C must show that innocent creditors would be adequately protected ·and that there are inadequate legal remedies. Id. Here, there are no innocent shareholders. The trusts; foundation, and entities are part of Gaggero's estate plan and are merely his alter ego. He established the entities to shelter his wealth and continues to have full access and control over his assets. (Id., , 4, Exh. C at 120:2-6, 121:22-23). Second, because tht;: transfers occurred in 1997 KPC cannot pursue claims for fraudulent transfer. Thus, to the extent this case involves the application of reverse corporate piercing, it is appropriate and within this ·Court's authority. 18 IV.
