DISCOVERY MEET AND CONFER - HOW TO OVERCOME THE "SANDBAG"
In this episode of Litigation Whiteboard? IP & Entertainment lawyer Steve Vondran discusses what to do when you send out discovery requests to your opponent during litigation (either as a Defendant or Plaintiff) and what to do when you receive a lousy response, which we lawyers refer to as "the sandbag." You want to act quickly and decisively and put them on notice with a meet and confer demand letter requesting a meet and confer phone call. In some jurisdictions in California, for example, the Central District, you may need to request an in-person meeting if both parties are in the same county. Have the call, see if they will amend their responses. If not, you may need to file a motion to compel further responses, and seek sanctions. The worst of all sanctions is "terminating sanctions" where you ask the court to enter judgment in your favor."

    Yesterday in court I was told that they could just dismiss it that the I will landlord and I have a tenant and I'm trying to get him out and it's been since may have been to court 6 times and they keep the clerks will give me all the wrong paperwork the first time around so I had to go in and withdraw all that and redo it then nobody showed up and I showed up😊 shut up towards the end the roll call and check in when she said if you missed your name and she told me she dismissed all my cases so instead of them being in default she wrote that nobody showed up including me and I was there. But anyway I filed motions for the front the first here because Massachusetts have the first year now which is so ridiculous but anyway I filed my emotions and the girl that was the mediator told me that my paper that my paperwork that they could just throw it out like and he could the tenant can get it dismissed because I had too many issues on it instead of just one and getting us to mediate something so now I got to give him 60 days again and with with a half rent every week and it's ridiculous because I've been giving him notices since last July and I started courting me and now I got to wait now two more months and he said plenty of time. Also I served somebody with the notice to go to the first to your court hearing and they said it's supposed to be served by Sheriff 3 weeks beforehand I said well I got it on the 26th and the court date was the 30th so I didn't have time to go to the sheriff so now they gave me another date for him in 3 weeks with another thing to go to the sheriff's department and get it delivered to him so me handing it to him wasn't good enough even though he lives in my house and the other tenant was there and saw me hand it to him

    A physical meeting requirement honestly sounds hilarious to me. 🤣 From my experience up here in Oregon, a lot of attorneys are notoriously difficult to get a hold of over the phone to satisfy conferral requirements. A physical meeting at an office sounds like an absolute nightmare, especially in the age of work from home, where a lot of attorneys are popping into the office on an infrequent basis to meet a client once or twice a month. Stalking the halls of the courthouse and looking for opposing counsel there may be the only way to satisfy the conferral requirement in Orange country unless you are able to have the conferral requirement waived for cause. 😂😂😂😂

    Hello Steve. Are we able to hire an Attorney to do specific tasks? My father has an attorney but she requested to be released the moment he started asking why the Demurrers stated there was little evidence and found out the subpoenas were never sent nor the trust from the originating Attorney sent. He is having a very hard time finding an attorney and she won't do them. He paid $20k and at this stage he cannot do this alone. Its too much. Even the declaration and evidence submission is alot for a person. Especially one who is already under duress. How can you get help to do these things so it doesn't harm your case? Can he hire an attorney to do those things?

    Hello. May I ask whether its a Pleading form or Declaration when a plaintiff must alert the judge of an urgent issue effecting the current standing of the civil lawsuit? I know its last resort ...My father hired an Attorney about 2 years ago, and spent $20k...For 2 subpoenas and to petition a stolen Trust.. At this stage these things haven't been done. Once my father asked her where they are, she didnt answer. We then read it said there was no evidence. My father had a nervous breakdown and showed in Court. The judge asked why. Following that he was sent a file with a note to sign her release. My father again asked her how and why she would do this. We need to use a form to alert the Judge as the attorney isnt answering, and we cannot get help because he isnt pro se. Ive made over 50 calls relentlessly to find help..Im on the verge of breaking down. I dont know what to do to help. I was told by the court to use a pleading form..But the clerk said use a Declaration.. We are having trouble filling it out properly. Please. We need help.

I simply responded that I have not seen my daughter in months and went deep into my issues with why this is an issue. The judge himself apologized and said that they are still working on our outcome.

    Thanks for this video. I am wondering how this actually plays out though. Do they just retract the takedowns, leaving the uploader stuck with a legal bill? For a channel that doesn't make any money, is there realistically any way to get damages/attorney fees? This is relevant to me because last year I was a victim of a cut and dry bad faith takedown resulting in account termination. Eventually they agreed to retract the takedowns, which I guess is a good outcome, but I felt like an abuse victim asking their abuser for forgiveness. My situation was clearly bad faith because I wasn't arguing fair use (it was misidentification) and the person filing the takedowns was very open about their process and admitted that they don't even watch the videos. UA-cam was no help as they apparently have agreements to deny all counter-notifications for some content owners. You briefly mentioned chilling free speech and that is effectively the end result for me. I know what triggered the takedown and even though I am fully within my rights to upload that kind of content, I don't anymore.
