Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 2030.210 et seq., Plaintiff, ANNE ANDERSON, for herself, and as a Parent and Next Friend of CHARLES ANDERSON, and as Administratrix of the Estate of JAMES ANDERSON (“Plaintiff”) hereby responds to the Special Interrogatories, Set One, of Defendant BEATRICE FOODS INC. (“Defendant”) as follows: **__GENERAL RESPONSE__** 1. Plaintiff’s response to Defendant’s Special Interrogatories, Set One, is made to the best of Plaintiff’s present knowledge, information, and belief. Said responses are at all times subject to such additional or different information that discovery or further investigation may disclose and, while based on the present state of Plaintiff’s recollection and understanding, is subject to such refreshing of recollection, and such additional knowledge of facts, as may result from Plaintiff’s further discovery and investigation. Plaintiff reserves the right to make any use of, or to introduce at any hearing and at trial, information and/or documents responsive to Defendant’s Special Interrogatories, Set One discovered subsequent to the date of this response. 2. Plaintiff reserves all objections or other questions as to the competency, relevance, materiality, privilege or admissibility as evidence in any subsequent proceeding or in trial of this or any action for any purpose whatsoever of this response. 3. Plaintiff reserves the right to object on any ground at any time to such other or supplemental interrogatories as Defendant may at any time propound involving or relating to the subject matter of these interrogatories. 4. For interrogatories which ask Plaintiff to identify documents she relies upon, see documents bates labeled M00001 – M00543 produced in response to Defendant Actual Assets, Inc.’s Request For Production of Documents, Set One. (we more than like will need to delete this highlighted section but, just incase we come up with some sort of document for submittal, here is the correct verbiage) - Amanda **__GENERAL OBJECTIONS__** 1. Plaintiff objects to the interrogatories in their entirety, and to each interrogatory contained therein, to the extent they seek information or production of documents protected by the attorney-client or the attorney work product privilege. Such information or production of documents is beyond the scope of discovery and shall not be disclosed in response to any of these interrogatories. Any inadvertent disclosure or production thereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any privilege with respect to such information or documents or of any work product doctrine which may attach thereto. 2. Plaintiff objects to this set of interrogatories, and to each interrogatory contained therein, on the ground they are overbroad and unduly burdensome. Discovery has only recently commenced in this matter. Plaintiff responds in light of information known to date or discoverable upon reasonable inquiry. Plaintiff reserves the right to amend and/or supplement these responses to reflect subsequently discovered facts or evidence, and/or to introduce such facts or evidence at trial or at any other appropriate time during this action. 3. Plaintiff objects to any interrogatory to the extent it seeks to require Plaintiff to search for information about documents no longer in existence or in Plaintiff’s possession, custody or control, on the grounds that said interrogatory is overly broad, would subject Plaintiff to undue annoyance, oppression, burden, and expense, and seeks to impose upon Plaintiff an obligation to investigate information or materials from third parties or sources who are equally accessible to Defendants.
