Pro Se Plaintiff Bo Zou files Plaintiff’s response in opposition to Defendant’s motion for
protective order. Defendant has been abusing protective orders in the discrimination case. Until
now, Defendant frivolously filed three (3) protective orders (Dkt. Nos. 20, 54, 94) without a
good cause, only based on Defendant’s lies to and blatantly misleading the Court.
(A). Defendant’s first protective order (Dkt. No. 20) filed on March 4, 2020, Defendant
asserted Plaintiff’s so-called threat to a third party and request a protective order. But, the
protective order granted by the Court was used to protect Defendant’s so-called secret
documents or files. Defendant falsified a lot of documents with the protective order. See
EXHIBIT “19”; and Dkt. Nos. 60, 86.
(B). Defendant’s second protective order (Dkt. No. 54) filed on June 18, 2020, Defendant
refused Defendant’s deposition with lies. Defendant lied and asserted Plaintiff did not notify
Defendant prior to June 5, 2020. See Dkt. No. 51, Pg. 3. However, Plaintiff has shown the Court
Plaintiff’s email to notify Defendant for deposition on June 2, 2020. See Dkt. No. 68, EXHIBIT
“2”. Plaintiff has given Defendant Twenty-one (21) days’ notice by e-mail, and Eighteen (18)
days’ notice by written notice. Plaintiff’s notice of deposition is in compliance with Fed. R. Civ.
P. 30 (a) and Local Rule LCvR30.1(a)(2). Defendant rejected Defendant’s deposition violating
1
Fed. R. Civ. P. 30 and Local Rule LCvR30.1(a)(2). But, Defendant still sought protective order
with Defendant’s lies to and blatantly misleading the Court.
(C). Defendant filed Defendant’s third protective order (Dkt. No. 94) on August 11, 2020,
to request “Plaintiff to seek Leave of Court prior to making any further filings or serving
Defendant with any additional discovery requests or noticing any depositions, and further order
that Defendant is not required to respond to Plaintiff’s pending baseless motions.” But,
Defendant could not provide any rule, statute or authority to support Defendant’s protective
order. Defendant frivolously filed Defendant’s protective order to avoid sanctioning because
Plaintiff has filed Plaintiff’s motions to sanction on Defendant for Defendant’s perjury, falsified
documents, concealed document, contempt of the Court and other misconducts supported by
factual evidence in Plaintiff’s motions. See Dkt. Nos. 86, 89.
Also, Defendant filed a lot of frivolous and baseless motions to avoid producing documents,
sanctioning (including contempt of the Court), deposing, etc. See Dkt. Nos. 19, 20, 32, 44, 50, 51,
53, 54, 80, 94. Defendant seeks for this protective order to avoid sanctioning for Defendant’s
perjury, falsifying documents, refusing to produce documents, etc. See Dkt. Nos. 86, Pg. 3.
Moreover, Defendant seeks for this protective order to avoid sanctioning for Defendant’s
contempt of the Court. See Dkt. No. 89; Dkt. No. 100, Pg. 3, 4.
Further, Defendant did not confer with Plaintiff Defendant’s protective order and submitted
a certification in Defendant’s motion. Defendant’s protective order must be denied by the Court.
____________________
1
(1) In General. A party or any person from whom discovery is sought may move for a protective order in the
court where the action is pending—or as an alternative on matters relating to a deposition, in the court for the
district where the deposition will be taken. The motion must include a certification that the movant has in good
faith conferred or attempted to confer with other affected parties in an effort to resolve the dispute without
court action… (emphasis added).
2
With respect to all motions or objections relating to discovery pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 through 37 and
45, this Court shall refuse to hear any such motion or objection unless counsel for movant first advises the
Court in writing that counsel personally have met and conferred in good faith and, after a sincere attempt to
resolve differences, have been unable to reach an accord.

2. Defendant seeks for protective order without a good cause
Defendant requested the Court that “Defendant moves the Court for a Protective Order
requiring Plaintiff to seek Leave of Court prior to making any further filings or serving
Defendant with any additional discovery requests or noticing any depositions, and further order
that Defendant is not required to respond to Plaintiff’s pending baseless motions.” See Dkt. No.
94, Pg. 1. However, there is NOT any rule, statue or authority to support Defendant’s requests to
limit or prohibit Plaintiff’s litigation right. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c)(1), a party may only
seek protective order with a good cause as follows:
(A) forbidding the disclosure or discovery;
(B) specifying terms, including time and place or the allocation of expenses, for the disclosure or
discovery;
(C) prescribing a discovery method other than the one selected by the party seeking discovery;
(D) forbidding inquiry into certain matters, or limiting the scope of disclosure or discovery to certain
matters;
(E) designating the persons who may be present while the discovery is conducted;
(F) requiring that a deposition be sealed and opened only on court order;
(G) requiring that a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information
not be revealed or be revealed only in a specified way; and
(H) requiring that the parties simultaneously file specified documents or information in sealed envelopes,
to be opened as the court directs.
Defendant’s requests for protective order are not in compliance with the protective orders
specified in Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c)(1). Defendant seeks for protective order without a good
cause. Defendant’s requests for protective order must be denied by the Court.
3. Plaintiff’s requests for production of documents are in compliance with Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure 26, 34
A. Plaintiff must file motions to compel and for sanction because Defendant objected
to Plaintiff’s all requests for production of documents
Until now, Plaintiff filed five sets of requests for production of documents, total seventy-
nine (79) requests. However, Defendant always objected to Plaintiff’s requests and refused to
produce documents Plaintiff requested. This is why Plaintiff must file requests for production
of document, motions to compel and motions for sanctions. The Court never find that Defendant
answered a non-objection response to Plaintiff’s first, second, fourth and fifth sets of requests for
3
production of documents. In Plaintiff’s third set of requests for production of documents,
Defendant not only objected to Plaintiff’s requests, but also cheated and misled the Court. See
Dkt. No. 60. Plaintiff lists Defendant’s responses to Plaintiff’s five sets of requests for
production of documents as follows:
(1). Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s first request for production of documents (47
requests). See EXHIBIT “1”. Plaintiff’s all requests were objected and refused.
(2). Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s second set of requests for production of documents
(10 requests). See EXHIBIT “2”. Plaintiff’s all requests were objected and refused.
(3). Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s third set of requests for production of documents. (8
requests). See EXHIBIT “3”. Defendant’s not only refused to produce documents but also
cheated and misled the Court. See Dkt. No. 60, Pg. 2, 3, 4.
(4). Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s fourth set of requests for production of documents (6
requests). See EXHIBIT “4”. Defendant’s refused to produce documents. See Dkt. No. 86, Pg. 2.
Defendant committed perjury, falsified documents, concealed documents, and lied to and misled
the Court. See Dkt. No. 86, Pg. 3, 4.
(5). Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s fifth set of requests for production of documents (8
requests). See EXHIBIT “5”. Plaintiff’s all requests were objected and refused initially.
It’s very necessary for Plaintiff to file motions to compel and motions for sanctions.
Defendant asserted that Plaintiff filed so-called baseless motions (Dkt. No.’s 22, 24, 30, 31, 34,
38, 40, 41, 45, 59, 60, 67, 72, 76, 77, 85, and 86). See Dkt. No. 94, Pg. 2. Plaintiff lists
Plaintiff’s motions and shows the Court Plaintiff’s motions are necessary as follows:
(a). For Dkt. Nos. 22, 24, 30, 31, the Court ruled on Plaintiff’s motions to compel and for
sanctions for Plaintiff’s first and second sets of requests for production of documents. But,
Defendant still refuses to produce RFP Nos. 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 21, and 26 requested in Plaintiff’s first
request for production of documents even if the Court ordered Defendant to produce the
documents. See Dkt. No. 37, Pg. 3, 5, 6.
(b). For Dkt. No. 38, the motion is pending for District Judge to rule. Plaintiff filed the
motion because magistrate judge’s rulings are clearly erroneous or contrary to law.
(c). For Dkt. No. 40, Plaintiff’s motion for change of Magistrate Judge, which is pending in
the Court. Plaintiff filed the motion because Magistrate Judge displayed a high favoritism to
Defendant, or antagonism to Plaintiff in the proceedings. Plaintiff’s motion is in compliance with
4
28 U.S.C. §455(a).
(d). For Dkt. Nos. 40, 45, the Court ruled on Plaintiff’s motions for hearing.
(e). For Dkt. No. 59, the Court ruled on Plaintiff’s motion to Strike Defendant’s Response
and motion for sanction. Defendant filed Defendant’s Response to Plaintiff’s Motion to
Reconsider (Dkt. No. 49). But, Defendant did NOT serve on Plaintiff “Defendant’s Response to
Plaintiff’s motion to reconsider”. Defendant violated Fed. R. Civ. P. 5. It’s necessary for
Plaintiff to file Plaintiff’s motion to Strike Defendant’s Response and motion for sanction. But,
Defendant was never sanctioned by the Court for Defendant’s violation.
(f). For Dkt. No. 60, Plaintiff’s motion to compel and for sanctions for Plaintiff’s third set
request for production of documents, which is pending in the Court. Defendant refused to
produce documents, committed perjury, falsified documents, missed deadline of discovery, etc.
(g). For Dkt. No. 67, Plaintiff’s motion to object to the Court minute order (Dkt. No. 58) for
granting Defendant’s Opposed Motion to Stay Deposition. The motion is pending in the Court.
Plaintiff objected to the Court incorrect order, which was based on Defendant’s lies to refuse
Defendant’s deposition. Defendant violated Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(a) and Local rule LCvR30.1(a)(2).
Plaintiff’s motion is in compliance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(a) and Local rule LCvR30.1(a)(2).
(h). For Dkt. No. 72, Plaintiff’s motion for objecting to the Court order for joint status
report, which is pending in the Court. First, both parties filed a joint status report to the Court on
January 8, 2020. See Dkt. No. 16. Plaintiff has the right to object to file another joint status
report, which would help Defendant alter the terms both parties agreed in the joint status report.
Plaintiff’s motion is necessary and never baseless.
(i). For Dkt. Nos. 76, 77, Plaintiff’s motion for objecting to Magistrate Judge’s rulings (Dkt.
No. 70) issued on July 9, 2020, and motion to request the District Judge to rule pursuant to
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The motions are pending in the Court. Plaintiff’s motions are
necessary and never baseless because Magistrate Judge’s rulings are clearly erroneous or
contrary to law. Plaintiff’s motions are in compliance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a).
(j). For Dkt. No. 85, Plaintiff’s motion for Objecting to the court order to refer Plaintiff’s
motion for change of magistrate judge to magistrate judge herself, which is pending in the Court.
The District Judge should have ruled on “Plaintiff’s motion for change of magistrate judge”
(Dkt. No. 40), but referred Plaintiff’s motion to Magistrate Judge herself. Plaintiff’s motion for
objecting is necessary and in compliance with 28 U.S.C. §455(a), and never baseless.
5
(k). For Dkt. No. 86, Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Production of Documents for Fourth Set
of Requests for Documents, and Motion for Sanctions, which are pending in the Court.
Defendant refused to provide documents Defendant should have provided. Also, Defendant
committed perjury, falsified documents, concealed documents and lied to and misled the Court.
Plaintiff’s motion is necessary and never baseless.
Defendant must show the Court which motion listed above Plaintiff should not file,
and which rule or which statute Plaintiff violated.
B. Defendant’s lies to and misleading the Court in Defendant’s motion for Protective
order
Defendant lied and asserted that “This is illustrated by Plaintiff’s most recent and baseless
motion for contempt, see Dkt. No. 89, in which Plaintiff blatantly attempts to mislead the Court
(and blatantly attempted to mislead Defendant) with respect to the Court’s order on his motion
to compel.” See Dkt. No. 94, Pg. 2.
But, Defendant’s lies cannot cover factual evidence. Plaintiff has provided detailed factual
evidence for Defendant’s contempt of the Court in “Plaintiff’s motion for contempt” (Dkt. Nos.
89, 100). Plaintiff shows the Court Plaintiff’s grounds and factual evidence as follows:
First of all, in Plaintiff’s original RFP Nos. 2, 3, 4, 7, Plaintiff clearly stated that what
documents Plaintiff requested on January 13, 2020 (EXHIBIT “1”, Pg. 6, 7, 8), including what
type of documents, who made, which project, when, etc. as follows:
(a). RFP. 2: Provide all piping specifications made by Plaintiff in PDF format for Stock
Plant project on February 21, 2019, and piping class specifications made by Plaintiff for Husky
1 & 2 projects on April 30, 2019. (emphasis added)
(b). RFP. 3: Provide all piping class specifications for XTO project in PDF format, which
includes the versions prior to and after February 21, 2019. (emphasis added)
(c). RFP. 4: Provide Linde technical piping specifications in PDF format, which includes
the version prior to February 21, 2019 and the current version. (emphasis added)
(d). RFP. 7: Provide all piping class specifications made by Plaintiff in PDF format for
Defendant’s LR6400 project on August 6, 2019. (emphasis added)
On March 3, 2020, Plaintiff in good faith narrowed the requests for piping class
specifications to C40 and C60 only. See EXHIBIT “6”.
Further, Plaintiff clearly showed the Court that “Plaintiff states that Plaintiff has narrowed
6
the requests to Cryogenic piping class specifications C40 and C60 on March 2 & 3, 2020. But,
Defendant still rejected Plaintiff’s request.” in Plaintiff’s motion to compel documents for
Plaintiff’s first request for production of documents. See Dkt. No. 22, Pg. 4. Also, the Court
ordered Defendant to produce these documents following Plaintiff’s requests.
After Plaintiff narrowed all piping class specifications to C40 and C60, and granted by the
Court. Plaintiff’s requests for RFP Nos. 2, 3, 4, 7 should be as follows:
(a). RFP. 2: Provide C40 and C60 piping class specifications made by Plaintiff in PDF
format for Stock plant project on February 21, 2019, and piping class specifications made by
Plaintiff for Husky 1 & 2 projects on April 30, 2019.
(b). RFP. 3: Provide C40 and C60 piping class specifications for XTO project in PDF
format, which includes the versions prior to and after February 21, 2019.
(c). RFP. 4: Provide Linde technical piping specifications C40 and C60 in PDF format,
which includes the version prior to February 21, 2019 and the current version.
(d). RFP. 7: Provide C40 and C60 piping class specifications made by Plaintiff in PDF
format for Defendant’s LR6400 project on August 6, 2019.
The due date of producing documents ordered by Court’s second order (Dkt. No. 70) is
July 14, 2020. Defendant deliberately produced harassed piping class specifications made by
Kenny Sharp, NOT by Plaintiff on July 9, 2020. See EXHIBIT “7”. Three weeks later, on July
30, 2020, Plaintiff found that Defendant never produced the documents ordered by the Court. So,
Plaintiff in good faith requested Defendant to produce the documents following Plaintiff’s
requests and the Court’s order on July 30, August 4 and 5, 2020. See EXHIBIT “8”. Defendant
must show the Court how could Plaintiff misrepresent the Court’s order after Defendant
had deliberately produced wrong and harassed piping class specification made by Kenny
Sharp and refused to produce other documents? Plaintiff never contacted Defendant to
request “all versions” piping class specification before Defendant deliberately produced piping
class specification made by Kenny Sharp. In Plaintiff’s email sent to Defendant on July 30, 2020,
Plaintiff only used the “original” requests, but made “Plaintiff” with bold mark to remind
Defendant of producing piping class specification made by Plaintiff, NOT by Kenny Sharp.
7
See EXHIBIT “7”. For example:
Finally, on August 5, 2020, Plaintiff clearly reminded Defendant of producing what piping class
specification and who made. See EXHIBIT “8”. Plaintiff shows the Court for RFP’s 2 as below:
But, Defendant did not give Plaintiff any response and refused to produce any documents to
follow the Court order. On the contrary, Defendant alleged Plaintiff mispresent the Court order.
Defendant obviously and blatantly misleads the Court.
Moreover, Defendant asserted that Defendant produced all the documents “As to the other
purported items in Plaintiff’s motion for contempt, Defendant expressly informed Plaintiff that it
produced all documents in possession, and that there were no other responsive documents.” See
Dkt. No. 94, Pg. 3 (emphasis added). The Court should order Defendant to appear before this
Court to show what documents Defendant produced. Defendant deliberately produced a lot of
harassed piping class specifications made by Kenny Sharp, NOT by Plaintiff on July 9, 2020.
See EXHIBIT “7”. The Court can see the documents (catalog) produced by Defendant are never
the documents Plaintiff requested and ordered by the Court. Defendant never produced any C40
or C60 piping class specifications made by Plaintiff and ordered by the Court even if plaintiff
requested Defendant to produce these documents over and over. See EXHIBIT “8”.
Further, Defendant asserted “Defendant expressly informed Plaintiff that it produced all
documents in possession, and that there were no other responsive documents.” i.e. Defendant
does not possess these documents. Plaintiff shows the Court the evidence that these documents
exist, and are possessed by Defendant as follows:
For RFP. No. 2, the evidence for Plaintiff to make piping class specification for Stock plant
project on February 21, 2019. See EXHIBIT “9”.
The evidence for Plaintiff to make piping class specification for Husky 1 & 2 projects on
8
April 30, 2019. See EXHIBIT “10”.
For RFP. No. 3, C40 and C60 piping class specifications for XTO project exist and
possessed by Defendant. See EXHIBIT “9”.
For RFP. No. 4, technical piping specifications C40 and C60, which includes the version
prior to February 21, 2019 and the current version, exist and possessed by Defendant. See
EXHIBIT “9”.
For RFP. No. 7, C40 and C60 piping class specifications for Defendant’s LR6400 project
on August 6, 2019 exist and possessed by Defendant. See EXHIBIT “11”. Defendant blatantly
lied to and misled the Court again. Defendant is in contempt of the Court without any questions.
For RFP. No. 6, piping engineer job’s sheets for Defendant’s LR6400 project when
Plaintiff started to assign jobs to younger piping design engineers, Mr. Kenny Sharp and Mr.
Dustin Duncan, exist and possessed by Defendant. See EXHIBIT “12”.
For RFP. No. 21, Defendant’s contribution on Plaintiff’s insurance exists, and is possessed
by Defendant. Plaintiff only knows Plaintiff’s contribution. See EXHIBIT “13”.
For RFP. No. 26, the documents exist, and are possessed by Defendant. Defendant admitted
Kenny Sharp made a big mistake, but covered Kenny Sharp’s mistake. See EXHIBIT “14”. Also,
when Plaintiff complained Kenny Sharp on May 10, 2010, Plaintiff clearly stated that Defendant
wasted a lot of money to solve the problem made by Kenny Sharp. See EXHIBIT “15”.
C. Plaintiff’s Factual evidence to disclose Defendant’s obvious and blatantly
misleading the Court on Plaintiff’s requests for production of Documents
Plaintiff only requested Eleven (11) sets written discovery until now, including:
(1). Five sets of requests for production of documents, total seventy-nine (79) requests;
(2). Three sets of interrogatories, total twenty-three (23) interrogatories;
(3). Three sets of admissions, total twenty-three (23) admissions.
Both interrogatories and admissions Plaintiff requested are less than the numbers of requests
of twenty-five (25) specified by Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(a)(1) and Local Rule LCvR36.1, respectively.
For Plaintiff’s total seventy-nine (79) requests for production of documents, there are fifty-seven
(57) requests in Plaintiff’s first and second sets of requests for production of documents. There
are only about average seven (7) requests/set for Plaintiff’s third, fourth and fifth sets of requests
for production of documents. Defendant must show the Court how Plaintiff harasses
Defendant with only seven (7) requests/set for production of documents.
9
Moreover, Defendant always objected and refused to produce documents. See
EXHIBIT “1”—“5”. Defendant even refused to produce documents RFP. 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 21, 26
even if these documents are ordered to produce by the Court on May 19, 2020. See Dkt. No. 37.
Further, Plaintiff could not even get Plaintiff’s emails communicated with Plaintiff’s
supervisor Jerry Gump, young engineers Kenny Sharp and Dustin Duncan, and other key
witnesses. Defendant does its best to prevent Plaintiff from getting evidence by concealing
documents, committing perjury, falsifying documents, etc.
For Plaintiff’s first and second sets of requests for production of documents, Defendant
objected to all the requests. See EXHIBIT “1”, “2”. Defendant must show the Court how
Defendant was oppressed or harassed, and how big tremendous burdens was posed on
Defendant by Plaintiff’s requests. Moreover, the Court never alleged that Plaintiff’s requests
are burdensome or harassed after ruling. See Dkt. No. 37. Defendant’s assertions all are lies and
pretext. For example, for Plaintiff’s second set of requests for production of documents RFP 3, 6,
7, Defendant asserted that “Plaintiff later explained in one his motions to compel that he needed
these documents to show how his former attorneys attempted to “cheat” him. The Court denied
Plaintiff’s motion to compel these documents.” See Dkt. No. 94, Pg. 4 (emphasis added). For
RFP 6, 7, Defendant had repeatedly asserted with the same pretext as that in Defendant’s
Response in Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Production of Documents for Plaintiff’s
Second Request for Documents. See Dkt. No. 35, Pg. 3, 4. For RFP 3, Defendant never asserted
before. See Dkt. No. 35, Pg. 2. In order to demonstrate Defendant counsels blatantly mislead the
Court, Plaintiff lists RFP 3, 6, 7, and answers Defendant’s assertions as follows:
(a). REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 3: Provide any documents, emails, text messages, records of
phone calls received via any third parties, but not limited to person, companies, recruiters, or government
agency, who contact my former employers, my former clients, and my former colleagues, IRS, Social Security
Administration, any Federal and Local Court regarding Plaintiffs employment information, tax, Social Security
earning, and any lawsuit information since October 18, 2019.
The request is never relevant to Defendant’s assertion for Plaintiff to allege former attorneys
so-called “cheating”. Plaintiff has the right to request the documents because Defendant contacted
Plaintiff’s former employers without Plaintiff’s permission. See Dkt. No. 34. The Court can see
Plaintiff’s request never harasses Defendant. Defendant had objected to Plaintiff’s request and
refused to produce any documents. See EXHIBIT “2”, Pg. 8.
Defendant must show the Court how Plaintiff harassed Defendant? How tremendous
10
burdens Plaintiff posed on Defendant? Where is Defendant asserted “cheating” by
Plaintiff’s former attorneys?
(b). REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 6: Provide any documents, emails, mails, text messages,
records of phone calls received from and replied to Attorney Loren Gibson in September, 2019, and since
October, 2019.
Attorney Loren Gibson was ever interested in the discrimination case. Loren Gibson sent an
investigation letter to Defendant in September, 2019. Since then, Loren Gibson never contacted
Plaintiff any more even if Plaintiff called him and left a message, or sent him a few emails. The
documents Plaintiff requested involved in the investigation letter for the case. The most important
documents requested by Plaintiff are Defendant’s replies to the investigation letter. These documents
are relevant to the case. The Court can see Plaintiff’s request is reasonable and relevant to the case.
(c). REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 7: Provide any documents, emails, mails, text messages,
discussion, records of phone calls received from and replied to Attorney Johnnie J. James III since October 25,
2019.
Attorney Johnnie J. James III signed a representing agreement with Plaintiff on October 25,
2019. Johnnie J. James III called Defendant counsel Rector G. Jonathan to see whether the case may
be solved at outside of this Court around October 28, 2019. On November 1, 2019, Johnnie J. James
III told Plaintiff Defendant’s counsel Rector G. Jonathan told him that settlement needs ninety (90)
days to be finished. Although Plaintiff filed complaint to the Court on October 18, 2019, Plaintiff did
not serve the pleadings on Defendant, yet. After ninety (90) days, the case would be dismissed
automatically. So, Plaintiff alleged both Defendant’s counsel Rector G. Jonathan and Attorney
Johnnie J. James III cheating, not only Johnnie J. James III’s cheating. See Dkt. No. 30, Pg. 7. Also,
Johnnie J. James III asked for Plaintiff around in one week to go to his office to review some
documents, which would be provided by Defendant. Plaintiff’s request for the documents is
reasonable and in compliance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26, 34. The Court has ruled and never alleged
that Plaintiff’s requests are burdensome or harassed Defendant. Defendant misled the Court.
For Plaintiff’s third set of requests for production of documents, Defendant’s not only
refused to produce documents but also cheated and misled the Court. See Dkt. No. 60, Pg. 2, 3, 4.
Defendant asserted that “Plaintiff sought correspondence between Defendant and third parties
regarding “Plaintiff’s apartment matter” and “Plaintiff’s complaint of car damage.” See Dkt.
No. 94, Pg. 4. Plaintiff lists RFP Nos. 6, 7, 8 and answers Defendant’s assertions as follows:
(a). REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 6: Provide emails between Ms. Genie Churchill and Ms.
Cheryl Roberts of the third party National Corporate Housing-Tulsa, on October 15, 2018, involving in
11
Plaintiff’s apartment matter. (E-mails must be screenshot and attached a copy of content).
Plaintiff requested the emails involving in Plaintiff’s apartment matter because Defendant
provided some emails between Genie Churchill and Cheryl Roberts to allege Plaintiff. See
EXHIBIT “16”. Plaintiff’s request for emails between Genie Churchill and Cheryl Roberts are
reasonable and relevant to the discrimination case.
(b). REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 7: Provide emails between Ms. Amie Schlosberg of
Defendant and Ms. Stephanie Canada of the third party GEMINI ROSEMONT, on June 11, 2019, involving in
Plaintiff’s complaints and car damage. (E-mails must be screenshot and attached a copy of content).
(c). REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 8: Provide emails between Ms. Amie Schlosberg and Ms.
Deana Hoey on June 11, 2019, involving in Plaintiff’s complaints and car damage. (E-mails must be
screenshot and attached a copy of content).
Defendant objected to Plaintiff’s requests for RFP Nos. 7, 8 in Defendant’s response. Also,
Defendant never produced any documents. See EXHIBIT “3”, Pg. 7, 8. Plaintiff requested the
emails involving in Plaintiff’s complaints and car damage because Defendant provided some
emails between Amie Schlosberg and Stephanie Canada, and between Amie Schlosberg and
Deana Hoey to allege Plaintiff. See EXHIBIT “17”. Plaintiff’s request for emails between Amie
Schlosberg and Stephanie Canada, and between Amie Schlosberg and Deana Hoey are
reasonable and relevant to the discrimination case. Defendant must show the Court how
Plaintiff harassed Defendant? How tremendous burdens Plaintiff posed on Defendant?
For Plaintiff’s fourth set of requests for production of documents, Defendant objected to
all the requests. See EXHIBIT “4”. Defendant asserted that “In Plaintiff’s fourth set of requests
for production, he continued to seek correspondence between Defendant and third-party ICC
Group—correspondence which this Court already held was irrelevant to his lawsuit.” See Dkt.
No. 94, Pg. 4. Defendant misled the Court again. Plaintiff lists RFP 5 as follows:
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 5: Provide documents or communications between
Defendant and ICC Group Inc. (ICC) except the email ICC contacted the Defendant on February 24, 2020.
Defendant’s objected to Plaintiff’s request and refused to produce any documents. See
EXHIBIT “4”, Pg. 7. However, the Court never prohibited Plaintiff from getting any documents
from Defendant involving any third parties, including ICC Group Inc. (“ICC”). The Court order
only denied Plaintiff’s subpoena to ICC to request Plaintiff’s employment documents and any
documents with other third parties. See Dkt. No. 37, Pg. 10.
Defendant got Plaintiff’s email from ICC with improper means without Plaintiff’s
12
permission, and willfully used Plaintiff’s email to allege Plaintiff threated ICC and Defendant’s
safety. See EXHIBIT “18”. So, Plaintiff needs to request Defendant to produce any other emails
or documents got from ICC for the case, except Plaintiff’s email submitted to the Court by
Defendant. Plaintiff’s request is in compliance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26, 34. Defendant must
show the Court why Plaintiff could not request Defendant to produce other emails or
documents got from ICC?
For Plaintiff’s Fifth set of requests for production of documents, including supplemental
request, Plaintiff lists Plaintiff’s requests as follows:
PLAINTIFF’S FIFTH SET OF REQUESTS FOR
PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
1. Provide e-mails between Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s supervisor Jerry Gump
from April 28, 2019 to August 7, 2019.
4. Provide e-mails between Plaintiff and Terry Albrecht from June 1, 2019 to
July 26, 2019.
7. Provide PRIV 0001, 0002 listed on Defendant’s Privilege Log. These organization
charts made on September 5, 2019 are never work product privilege.
PLAINTIFF’S FIFTH SET OF REQUESTS FOR
PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS--SUPPLEMENTAL
1. Please provide all documents obtained/received by way of subpoena or deposition on
written questions, relating to this Lawsuit, Plaintiff, or the factual or legal claims in the
Complaint.
Defendant objected to all the requests and refused to produce any documents initially. See
EXHIBIT “5”. After Plaintiff in good faith to request Defendant to produce documents over and
over, Plaintiff finally produced RFP No. 7 documents PRIV 0001, 0002. See EXHIBIT “19”. But,
13
some documents in PRIV 0001, 0002 are falsified by Defendant. Defendant had stated that both
Kenny Sharp and Dustin Duncan are piping design engineers only, NOT piping engineers. See Dkt.
No. 86, EXHIBIT “3”, Pg. 4. But, the document of “Linde [Zou] 002830” shows that both Kenny
Sharp and Dustin Duncan are piping engineers. Defendant continued falsifying documents. This is
why Defendant does its best to prevent Plaintiff from filing further motions.
After Plaintiff requested Defendant to produce documents over and over, Defendant answered
Plaintiff’s supplemental request as“Regardless, we have no documents responsive to this request, but
will supplement should we receive any.” See EXHIBIT “20”.
For RFP 6, Plaintiff requested Defendant to produce Defendant’s internal investigation report
for Plaintiff’s complaint. Deana Hoey mentioned she investigated some people except Jerry Gump,
such as Adam Milad’s supervisor Jehna Ferster, etc. The internal investigation report is very strongly
relevant to the case. However, Defendant refused to produce the report. Defendant must show the
Court how Plaintiff harassed Defendant or posed tremendous burdens on Defendant.
The emails between Plaintiff and other five (5) colleagues are direct evidence for the
discrimination case. The emails, between Plaintiff and Jerry Gump, Kenny Sharp, and Dustin Duncan,
can show Plaintiff was treated differently from young engineers or discriminated by Defendant. The
the emails, between Plaintiff and Terry Albrecht, Kelly Leitch, can demonstrate Plaintiff’s excellent
work and Plaintiff have the capability as an equipment engineer for job reassignment. But, Defendant
refused to produce these documents. Defendant must show the Court how Plaintiff harassed
Defendant or posed tremendous burdens on Defendant.
Defendant’s pretext for Plaintiff’s requests for these emails is that “Plaintiff’s most recent set
of discovery requests seeks months’ worth of e-mails—without any subject matter or other
limitation whatsoever—between Plaintiff and six other custodians. See Exhibit 5, Plaintiff’s Fifth
Set of Requests for Production. But this Court has already ruled on Plaintiff’s overly broad
email requests and ordered Plaintiff to provide the names of only two custodians for Defendant
to conduct searches, see Dkt. No. 37 at pp. 4-5, which Defendant has already provided.” See Dkt.
No. 94, Pg. 4 (emphasis added). However, the Court ordered Plaintiff to provide the names of
only two custodians for Defendant to conduct searches for RFP 15—19 in Plaintiff’s first
request for Production of Documents. The Court order states that “As a reasonable limit on
Requests 15-19, which are vague and would require extensive ESI searches, the Court orders
Plaintiff to provide the names of two custodians, or individuals within the company, whose email
accounts are most likely to contain relevant information.” See Dkt. No. 37,Pg. 4 (emphasis
14
added). Plaintiff lists RFP Nos.15—19 as follows:
15. Provide working e-mails, discussions, conversations, Telephone conversations, correspondences or
memos among defendant’s top management, engineering manager and HR supervisor, HR employee,
i.e. among President Carlos Conerly, Vice President Becky Ford, Vice President David Close, Mr.
Jerry Gump, Mr. Aaron Watson and Ms. Deana Hoey dated from 05/06/2019 to 10/31/2019, in which
George, George Zou, Bo, Zou or Bo Zou is mentioned.
16. Provide working e-mails, correspondences or memos among defendant’s former head of operation
Mr. Art Thompson, engineering manager Mr. Gerald (Jerry) Gump, and piping group leader Mr. Eli
McDaniel dated from 08/10/2018 to 10/31/2019, in which George, George Zou, Bo, Zou or Bo Zou
is mentioned.
17. Provide working e-mails among engineering manager Mr. Gerald (Jerry) Gump, Mr. Eli
McDaniel, Mr. Kenny Sharp, Mr. Dustin Duncan and Ms. Nancy Hubbard dated from 9/10/2018 to
10/31/2019, in which George, George Zou, Bo, Zou or Bo Zou is mentioned.
18. Provide working e-mails among engineering manager Mr. Gerald (Jerry) Gump, Mr. Adam Milad,
Mr. Kyle Hennessey, Mr. Charlie Davis, Mr. Amol Sawant and Bob Wang dated from 09/20/2018 to
10/31/2019, in which George, George Zou, Bo, Zou or Bo Zou is mentioned.
19. Provide working e-mails among engineering manager Mr. Gerald (Jerry) Gump, Mr. Arthur Denzau,
and Mr. Vaibhav Patel dated from 10/01/2018 to 10/31/2019, in which George, Bo, Zou, George Zou
or Bo Zou is mentioned.
The Court can see that RFP Nos. 15—19 ordered by the Court are entirely different from RFP
Nos. 1—5 in Plaintiff’s fifth set of requests for production of documents. Defendant misled the
Court again. Plaintiff’s requests for production of documents are reasonable and in compliance with
Fed. R. Civ. P. 26, 34, and Local Rules. Further, Plaintiff requested Defendant to produce documents
for Plaintiff’s fifth set of requests for production of documents on June 22 & 23, 2020. But,
Defendant never objected to Plaintiff’s requests before. Defendant’s allegation for Plaintiff’s
discovery is frivolous and baseless.
4. Conclusion
WHEREFORE, Defendant’s motion for protective order must be denied because the motion
for protective order is frivolous and baseless, and without a certification. Defendant never
produced the documents ordered by the Court by the due date of July 14, 2020. Defendant is in
contempt of the Court. Defendant willfully and deliberately concealed documents, and misled the
Court. Plaintiff’s requests for production of documents are in compliance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26,
34, and Local Rules. Defendant filed the motion to avoid sanctioning. Plaintiff respectfully
requests the Court enter an order denying Defendant’s motion for protective order.

DEFENDANT'S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFF'S SECOND REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION – PAGE 3
DEFENDANT’S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES
TO PLAINTIFF'S FIRST REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION
RESPONSE: Defendant objects to RFP No. 2 because it seeks information and/or documents
protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, and/or
other privileges and immunities. Defendant further objects to this RFP as overly broad and
unduly burdensome. As worded, this RFP would require Defendant to search the emails, text
messages and phone records of all Defendant’s “agents, employees, attorneys, and other persons
acting for or on behalf of Defendant” to determine whether any of those individuals may have
mentioned or discussed the factual or “legal” allegations in Plaintiff’s Complaint with any “third
parties, but not limited to person, companies, job recruiters, or government agency.” The burden
associated with searching, collecting, and reviewing such documents is therefore not
proportional to the needs of this case. Finally, Defendant further objects to this RFP as an
attempt to solicit information to further Plaintiff’s harassment of third-parties who may possess
information related to Plaintiff’s employment history.
Defendant states that it has not communicated with any job recruiters, companies, or government
agencies about Plaintiff’s employment with Defendant other than ICC Group after Plaintiff’s
service of a subpoena duces tecum on that company. Defendant is withholding documents
pursuant to its objections.
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 2: Provide any documents, emails, text messages,
records of phone calls received from any third parties, but not limited to person, companies, or
government agency, about Plaintiffs personal information, employment information, tax return
information, security earning information, etc. since October 18, 2019
RESPONSE: Defendant objects to RFP No. 3 because it seeks information and/or documents
protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, and/or
other privileges and immunities. Defendant further objects to this RFP as overly broad and
unduly burdensome. As worded, this RFP would require Defendant to search the emails, text
messages and phone records of all Defendant’s “agents, employees, attorneys, and other persons
acting for or on behalf of Defendant” to determine whether any of those individuals may have
mentioned or discussed Plaintiff’s employment, financial information, tax return information,
social security information or “etc.” with any “third parties, but not limited to person, companies,
or government agency.” The burden associated with searching, collecting, and reviewing such
documents is therefore not proportional to the needs of this case. Finally, Defendant further
objects to this RFP as an attempt to solicit information to further Plaintiff’s harassment of third-
parties who may possess information related to Plaintiff’s employment history.
Defendant states that it has not received any documents from third parties related to Plaintiff’s
lawsuit. Defendant is withholding documents pursuant to its objections.
DEFENDANT'S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFF'S SECOND REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION – PAGE 7
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 3: Provide any documents, emails, text messages,
records of phone calls received via any third parties, but not limited to person, companies,
recruiters, or government agency, who contact my former employers, my former clients, and my
former colleagues, IRS, Social Security Administration, any Federal and Local Court regarding
Plaintiffs employment information, tax, Social Security earning, and any lawsuit information
since October 18, 2019.
RESPONSE: Defendant objects to RFP No. 3 because it seeks information and/or documents
protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, and/or
other privileges and immunities. Defendant further objects to this RFP as overly broad and
unduly burdensome. As worded, this RFP would require Defendant to search the emails, text
messages and phone records of all Defendant’s “agents, employees, attorneys, and other persons
acting for or on behalf of Defendant” to determine whether any of those individuals may have
mentioned or discussed Plaintiff’s employment with any “third parties, but not limited to person,
companies, or government agency.” The burden associated with searching, collecting, and
reviewing such documents is therefore not proportional to the needs of this case. Defendant
further objects to this RFP as an attempt to solicit information to further Plaintiff’s harassment of
third-parties who may possess information related to Plaintiff’s employment history. Finally,
Defendant objects to this RFP because, as phrased, it seeks documents unknown and/or not
within the possession, custody or control of the Defendant to the extent it seeks documents
showing communication between third parties outside of the control of Defendant (e.g.¸
correspondence between Plaintiff’s “former employers,” “former clients,” “former colleagues,”
and various government agencies and state and federal courts). Defendant is withholding
documents pursuant to its objections.
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 4: Provide any documents, emails, text messages,
records of phone calls received via all agents, representatives, or employees of LENA who
contact my former employers, my former clients, my former colleagues, IRS, Social Security
Administration, any Federal and Local Court regarding Plaintiffs employment information, tax,
Social Security earning, and any lawsuit information since October 18, 2019.
RESPONSE: Defendant objects to RFP No. 4 because it seeks information and/or documents
protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, and/or
other privileges and immunities. Defendant further objects to this RFP as overly broad and
unduly burdensome. As worded, this RFP would require Defendant to search the emails, text
messages and phone records of all Defendant’s “agents, employees, attorneys, and other persons
acting for or on behalf of Defendant” to determine whether any of those individuals may have
mentioned or discussed Plaintiff’s employment with any “third parties, but not limited to person,
companies, or government agency.” The burden associated with searching, collecting, and
reviewing such documents is therefore not proportional to the needs of this case. Defendant
further objects to this RFP as an attempt to solicit information to further Plaintiff’s harassment of
third-parties who may possess information related to Plaintiff’s employment history. Finally,
Defendant objects to this RFP because, as phrased, it seeks documents unknown and/or not
within the possession, custody or control of the Defendant to the extent it seeks documents
showing communication between third parties outside of the control of Defendant (e.g.¸
correspondence between Plaintiff’s “former employers,” “former clients,” “former colleagues,”
DEFENDANT'S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFF'S SECOND REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION – PAGE 8
and various government agencies and state and federal courts). Defendant is withholding
documents pursuant to its objections.
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 5: Provide all documents and evidence to support
Defendant's non-discrimination and defense.
RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this request as it is facially overbroad, premature, and unduly
burdensome. See, e.g., Cotracom Commodity Trading Co. v. Seaboard Corp., 189 F.R.D. 655, 665 (D.
Kan. 1999) (holding that “omnibus” phrases rendered discovery request facially overbroad and unduly
burdensome); Mackey v. IBP, Inc., 167 F.R.D. 186, 197-98 & 205-06 (D. Kan. 1996) (“Such phrases
often require the answering party to engage in mental gymnastics to determine what information may or
may not be remotely responsive.”); Robbins v. Camden City Bd. of Education, 105 F.R.D. 49, 60 (D.N.J.
1985) (discussing that “a literal reading” of a request for all documents that “refer to or relate to” plaintiff
“would require the defendant to provide a copy of every document in its possession, since all of these
documents could conceivably ‘refer or relate’ to plaintiff's employment.”); Milburn v. Life Investors Ins.
Co. of Am., No. CIV-04-0459-C, 2005 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 47362, at *5 (W.D. Okla. Jan. 19, 2005)
(rejecting use of “the omnibus term ‘reflecting’ in conjunction with a general category of documents . . .
fails to meet the particularity requirement of Rule 34”); American Friends Serv. Cmte. v. City & County
of Denver, No. 02-N-740 (CBS), 2004 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 18474, at *14 (D. Colo. Feb. 19, 2004)
(discussing that a “global” discovery request that seeks all documents relating to a particular event is
objectionable).This request seeks documents protected by attorney-client privilege and the work
product doctrine. It effectively seeks Defense counsel’s entire file. Defendant further objects that
the request is vague and confusing in its use of the phrase “all documents and evidence” as it
does not identify the documents with reasonable particularity as required by Rule 34(b)(1)(A).
Defendant refers Plaintiff to the documents previously produced and reserves the right to
supplement, as necessary. Defendant is not withholding documents pursuant to its objections.
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 6: Provide any documents, emails, mails, text messages,
records of phone calls received from and replied to Attorney Loren Gibson in September, 2019,
and since October, 2019.
RESPONSE: This request is overly broad, irrelevant, and not reasonably calculated to lead to
admissible evidence. Defendant objects to this request because it seeks information in Plaintiff’s
possession or equally available to Plaintiff. For example, Plaintiff is the best source of
information regarding his former attorneys in this case. Plaintiff is also the best source of
information regarding his former attorney’s communications, if any. Defendant further objects to
this RFP as an attempt to solicit information to further Plaintiff’s harassment of third-parties.
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 7: Provide any documents, emails, mails, text messages,
discussion, records of phone calls received from and replied to Attorney Johnnie J. James III
since October 25, 2019
RESPONSE: This request is overly broad, irrelevant, and not reasonably calculated to lead to
admissible evidence. Defendant objects to this request because it seeks information in Plaintiff’s
possession or equally available to Plaintiff. For example, Plaintiff is the best source of
information regarding his former attorneys in this case. Plaintiff is also the best source of
DEFENDANT'S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFF'S SECOND REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION – PAGE 9
information regarding his former attorney’s communications, if any. Defendant further objects to
this RFP as an attempt to solicit information to further Plaintiff’s harassment of third-parties.
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 8: Provide any documents, emails, mails, text messages,
discussion, records of phone calls received from and replied to any other Attorneys, excluding
Littler Attorneys, Mr. Loren Gibson and Mr. Johnnie J. James III, since September 3, 2019.
RESPONSE: This request is overly broad, irrelevant, and not reasonably calculated to lead to
admissible evidence. Defendant objects to this request because it seeks information in Plaintiff’s
possession or equally available to Plaintiff. For example, Plaintiff is the best source of
information regarding his former attorneys in this case. Plaintiff is also the best source of
information regarding his former attorney’s communications, if any. Defendant further objects to
this RFP as an attempt to solicit information to further Plaintiff’s harassment of third-parties.
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 9: Provide any documents, emails, text messages,
records of phone calls received from any job recruiters about any job position discussion with
Plaintiff.
RESPONSE: This request is irrelevant, overly broad, vague, ambiguous, and not reasonably
calculated to lead to admissible evidence. Whether job recruiters contacted Defendant following
Plaintiff’s separation from employment is not materially relevant to the claims or defenses in this
action. Defendant further objects to this RFP as an attempt to solicit information to further
Plaintiff’s harassment of third-parties.
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 10: Provide any documents, emails, text messages,
records of phone calls received from any job recruiters about any job position discussion with
Plaintiff.
RESPONSE: This request is irrelevant, overly broad, vague, ambiguous, and not reasonably
calculated to lead to admissible evidence. Whether job recruiters contacted Defendant following
Plaintiff’s separation from employment is not materially relevant to the claims or defenses in this
action. Defendant further objects to this RFP as an attempt to solicit information to further
Plaintiff’s harassment of third-parties.

DEFENDANT'S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFF'S FOURTH REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION – PAGE 2
GENERAL OBJECTIONS
The following general objections apply to each Request for Production and are hereby
1. Defendant objects to Plaintiff’s requests for production to the extent the intended
subject matter or requests inquire, in whole or in part, into the communications between
attorneys and clients (or between or among clients or clients’ representatives and their lawyers’
representatives) made in confidence for the purpose of facilitating the rendition of professional
legal services, all of such communications are protected from discovery by the attorney-client
privilege.
2. Defendant objects to Plaintiff’s requests for production to the extent the intended
subject matter or requests inquire, in whole or in part, into the mental impressions, conclusions,
3. Defendant objects to Plaintiff’s requests for production to the extent the intended
body, or medical committee, such is protected from discovery by the peer-review and medical-
committee privileges.
4. Defendant objects to Plaintiff’s requests for production to the extent the intended
subject matter or requests inquire, in whole or in part, into written statements of potential
witnesses or parties, or for party communications made in connection with the investigation of
DEFENDANT'S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFF'S FOURTH REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION – PAGE 3
this lawsuit, or for any matter protected from disclosure by any other privilege, such is protected
5. Defendant objects to Plaintiff’s requests for production to the extent that they seek
information regarding events outside the proper temporal scope or geographical scope of
discovery. Discovery should be limited to a reasonable time frame and reasonable geographic
area. Defendant objects to providing information concerning events that occurred outside of a
operations.
9. Defendant has made a good faith effort to interpret the written requests in a
common sense manner consistent with the issues in the litigation. To the extent that Plaintiff
believes that Defendant has placed a different or narrow construction of the language in a
particular request where this objection has been asserted, then Defendant objects to the request
on the grounds that it is vague and susceptible to differing interpretations, and on the grounds
that it is over broad and seeks more information than is reasonable in the context of the issues
DEFENDANT'S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFF'S FOURTH REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION – PAGE 4
10. Defendant objects to Plaintiff’s requests for production to the extent that
Plaintiff’s requests are vague, overbroad, unduly burdensome, seek information that is not
relevant to the claims or defenses of the parties and not reasonably calculated to lead to the
discovery of admissible evidence, and requires Defendant to take action beyond those required
11. Defendant objects to Plaintiff’s requests for production to the extent Plaintiff
seeks to require Defendant to produce documents not relevant, or not in its possession, custody,
or control.
12. Defendant objects to Plaintiff’s requests for production to the extent that they
require a narrative response and require Defendant to marshal the evidence. Defendant contends
that such requests are more appropriately areas for deposition inquiry.
The foregoing General Objections are made in response to every numbered Request for
Production in Plaintiff’s Fourth Set of Requests for Production to Defendant and are
incorporated into the following answers to each such Request, and each such answer is made
subject to the foregoing objections. In addition, by stating that any documents do not exist,
Defendant represents only that to Defendants’ knowledge those documents do not exist and that
in other reasons for Plaintiff's termination except the reason that Plaintiff's position was
eliminated.
RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this Request as vague and confusing, in that it asks
DEFENDANT'S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFF'S FOURTH REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION – PAGE 5
Defendant to state “provide documents and communications involving in other reasons for
Plaintiff’s termination except the reason that Plaintiff’s position was eliminated.” As stated
previously in other discovery responses, Plaintiff’s position was eliminated as part of the
Interrogatory No. 6. Defendant further refers Plaintiff to Linde [Zou] 000220 and Linde [Zou]
000290-91, previously produced. See Linde [Zou] 000220 and Linde [Zou] 000290-91,
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 2: Provide documents to show the starting date of the
RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this Request as it seeks documents that are neither relevant
to the allegations in this case nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible
evidence. Further, Defendant objects to the Request on the grounds and to the extent that it
seeks private, proprietary, confidential, and/or sensitive business information, or information that
Defendant states that LR 640 started on or about June 2019 and LRSV 200 started on or
about August 2019. By way of further response, Defendant will produce the piping
specifications, subject to a protective order, pursuant to the Court’s May 19, 2020 Order.
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 3: Provide the promotion documents and e-mails for
RESPONSE: Defendant objects to Request No. because it is misleading, confusing, and vague.
The interrogatory requires the adoption of an improper assumption, that “tenured” means a
promotion.
Defendant will produce documents showing Kenney Sharp and Dustin Duncan’s
DEFENDANT'S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFF'S FOURTH REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION – PAGE 6
employment history with Linde. Defendant is not withholding documents pursuant to its
objections.
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 4: Provide both Kenny Sharp and Dustin Duncan's job
RESPONSE: Defendant will produce copies of the Job Description for Kenney Sharp and
Dustin Duncan’s positions with Linde during the relevant time period. Defendant is not
Defendant and ICC Group Inc. (ICC) except the email ICC contacted the Defendant on February
24, 2020.
RESPONSE: Defendant objects to Request No. 5 because the request is irrelevant and beyond
the scope of Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 26(b)(1), as the Court has previously held. See Dkt. No. 37, p
10 (holding that Plaintiff’s request for post-employment communication between ICC and others
was an “overly speculative fishing expedition for information that may or may not exist and that
has no discernible relevance to the current litigation.”). Further, Plaintiff cannot use the
discovery process as a fishing expedition to continue harassing Defendant and other parties.
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 6: Provide the e-mail Plaintiff sent to the process

Plaintiff’s request to emails sent between Plaintiff and Jerry Gump insofar as they relate to
Plaintiff’s May 2019 complaint, Plaintiff’s job performance, and the August 2019 reduction-in-
force. By way of further response, Defendant refers Plaintiff to documents previously produced.

supplement emails pertaining to the narrowed scope. Defendant is not withholding any
documents.
REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 5: Provide e-mails between Plaintiff and Kelly
RESPONSE: Defendant objects to this Request as duplicative, vague, facially overbroad, and
not proportional to the needs of the case, considering all Rule 26(b)(1) factors. The request, as
phrased, is irrelevant and an overly broad fishing expedition that will result in production of
Plaintiff’s request to emails sent between Plaintiff and Kelley Leitch insofar as they relate to
Plaintiff’s May 2019 complaint and Plaintiff’s job performance. By way of further response,
supplement emails pertaining to the narrowed scope. Defendant is not withholding any

RESPONSE: This request assumes facts not in evidence and is duplicative of previously-issued
Complaints, which are contained at Linde [Zou] 000269 – 000289, Linde [Zou] 000295- 000296,
and Linde [Zou] 001669-001672, previously produced, and Linde [Zou] 002127-002128, Linde
[Zou] 002154-002157. After diligent review by Defendant, Defendant states there are no other

REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 7: Provide PRIV 0001, 0002 listed on Defendant’s
Privilege Log. These organization charts made on September 5, 2019 are never work
product privilege.
RESPONSE: This request is duplicative of previously-issued requests for production and seeks
information in violation of the Court’s May 19, 2020 Order [Dkt. No. 37]. The request seeks
information that is irrelevant, confidential, and not reasonably calculated to lead to admissible
evidence. Defendant refers to Linde [Zou] 000294, previously produced in accordance with the
May 19, 2020 Order. Defendant is withholding documents as set out in the Privilege Log,
previously produced.

Responses 6/12/19: George Zou
Thank you for the detailed information you provided us on 5/10/19. We take
ethics reports very seriously here at Linde. We encourage our employees to
report any unethical issues. We did a complete investigation on each incident you
pointed out.
• We do not feel that the Crestwood and XTO project mistakes were
purposely done. Ball valves was a new process to Linde and we all are here
to learn and grow. Kenny Sharp and his performance will be addressed as
we see appropriate
• WE appreciate the help you provided RTFE for the cryogenic service – it was
greatly appreciated
• Adam Milad was promoted as we deem appropriate for the business and
appreciate your concern but feel how we handle Adam and his position is a
management decision
• The only training we have uncovered that was cancelled was the new hire
training or Linde process and systems – this was cancelled for everyone
• The bidding process and bid received with BWFS had nothing to do with
Adam Milad. WE have very strict procedures and when it comes to our
procurement and proposal process
• Jerry Gump does not know or have a connection with Carlos Hernandez or
BWFS
• You and Adam’s previous relationship has nothing to do with Linde and our
processes
Again, thank you for bringing this to us. If you have any other specific information
you need us to investigate we will be glad to assist you.
Thanks

Subject: FW: OWP‐Linde‐ Incident Report‐ employee
Hello Deana,
In early May, I was contacted by our Building Management company, Gemini Rosemont, to inform me about an incident
with one of our employees, George Zou. George had contacted building security to report that his vehicle had been
damaged in the parking garage and he wanted permission to park in visitor parking, as well as to have Rosemont pay for
the damages. Of course, without any witnesses or evidence that the damage actually occurred in the parking garage,
there isn’t really anything that Rosemont can do, but George continues to contact them for an “update”.
I haven’t spoken with George about this, but wondered if you can have a conversation with him to let him know that
Rosemont is not responsible for damage to vehicles in the parking garage per the attached sign that’s posted at the
entrance to the parking garage?
Please see the email messages below as well as a copy of the incident report that the building security took from
George. If you need any additional information or have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,
Amie Schlosberg

He hasn’t said specifically; he asks for an update.
I believe we have provided everything we can provide and there is nothing more we can do…
Thanks so much for your help, Amie!

Hi Stephanie,
No, I didn’t realize it was continuing. When he calls, he wants to know when someone will take care of the repairs?
What specifically does he ask for an update on?
I will speak to his manager and our HR department about this. Thank you for letting me know.

Good afternoon Amie,
Mr. Zou has called our office a couple of times in the last month or so, trying to get an update – has anyone at Linde
spoken with him about this?
Unfortunately, without witnesses or evidence, there is nothing more we can do.
Will you, or someone else within Linde, please speak with him regarding this incident?
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you!

Hi, Amie‐
While we do have cameras covering strategic entry/exit points, etc. in the garage and parking areas, it would be
prohibitive to attempt to cover all of the parking spaces in the garage. Unfortunately, the area where Mr. Zou was
parked isn’t covered. Trying to ascertain exactly what happened and why, is very challenging. It’s not that we dispute
Mr. Zou’s contention that it was intentionally damaged here; we would explore the reasons why it happened as this
occurrence is quite rare here. Has there been any type of confrontation or conflict lately? There have been times when
damage like this has occurred off site in an individual’s neighborhood, or at the grocery store, etc.; then they’ve noticed
it here and assumed this is where the damage occurred.
Mr. Zou stated to Security that we should have cameras that cover every parking space ( 1,770 spaces in the One
Warren garage ). Security did inform him that parking in Visitor Parking would not be acceptable and took his statement
for the Incident Report, but Security is not authorized to discuss whom would be the responsible party for damages.
There is signage posted at the entrance to the parking garage which states the rules of responsibility for those parking in
the garage.
Please contact me with any further questions or concerns.
Thank you,

Good morning Scott,
Thank you for alerting me to the situation with Mr. Zou. We had another incident last year when an employee’s vehicle
was stolen and we had video footage of the incident. Are there any video cameras in the area that might have caught
the incident to allow us to contact the other party? I assume the security team advised Mr. Zou that it is not acceptable
to park in the visitor parking lot. I would imagine they also told Mr. Zou that the building management company cannot
be responsible for the damage. Can you please confirm?
Thank you,

Hi, Amie‐
Our lobby security guard was contacted by one of your employees, Bo Zou, about damage to his vehicle. Bo believes that
this damage occurred in the One Warren Parking garage. A copy of the Incident Report is attached.
While it is unfortunate that Mr. Zou has incurred damage to his vehicle, we have no way of verifying that the damage did
occur in the parking garage. Per terms of the Lease we cannot be held responsible for damage to personal property. I
would recommend Mr. Zou contact his insurance carrier for a possible claim.
Please contact me with any questions regarding this issue.
Thank you,

[EXTERNAL E-MAIL]
Jessica/Jeff –
I hope you are well. My name is David Nijhawan, and I am in house counsel at ICC. We received the attached subpoena
from a party adverse to you. It looks, from pacer, that he filed a civil suit against your client, Linde, in October and refiled
on 1/15/20.
We view this subpoena as too short of a time window, requires us to produce documents (which there are none b/c of
the vagueness of the subpoena), extremely overbroad, irrelevant to anything pertaining to us, and subjects us to undue
burden.
We plan to either object to it or hire outside counsel to quash it. We don’t have contacts in Oklahoma that I’m aware of
to hire as counsel either.
Let me know your thoughts on this – perhaps this is something you might want to move to quash?

Mr. Zou –
We received your notice of subpoena. My name is David Nijhawan, and I am general counsel at ICC. Please
communicate with me directly.
We object to the subpoena on several grounds pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Moreover, as you are
aware, counsel for the adverse party in your lawsuit objects as well. If further action continues on your part, we do
intend to file a motion to quash.
The gravamen of our objections rests in FRCP 45 and its applicable provisions:
1) The request is overbroad and not narrowly tailored
2) The method of service remains flawed (we never received a paper copy)
3) The time limit for the request remains deficient
4) You violated the civil procedure rules by not notifying your adverse party through their counsel
5) Documents you request remain wholly unrelated to your lawsuit against Linde Engineering
6) Responding to this would cause undue hardship on us to produce due, primarily, to the scope
7) It would require us to produce documents over 100 miles away
Sincerely,
David

Mr. Zou:
ICC is only required to serve you with written objections to your subpoena under Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(2)(B). ICC provided
these objections to you by email on February 24, 2020.
Further, your email contains language that is clearly threatening and harassing to ICC and its employees. Cease and
desist from any further email communication with myself or ICC employees, or ICC will take all appropriate legal
action. If you have any additional questions about the subpoena or ICC’s response to that subpoena, please put those
questions in writing and send them to my attention via US mail at the following address:

Mr. David,
Please file a motion to quash in Court this week by you or the adverse party in my lawsuit. I shall see whether
Judge will support your motion.
I hereby need to remind ICC and you again not to make a risk to help other third parties against Federal Law or
State Law. Otherwise, ICC will experience a big trouble in lawsuit. Also, I don't want to see anybody is put to
jail or his/her whole life is destroyed in helping any third parties against law.
Opposing Party contacted my former employers, former clients and other agencies without my permission had
been against Federal Law and Law of State of Oklahoma.

As an attorney, you know whether ICC and some ICC employees have put a leg in illegal actions. I have hired
an investigation agency starting to investigate all illegal actions against me in my employment record, IRS,
Social Security, local and Federal courts, etc. I shall give opposing party a "lethal" strike in my lawsuit in the
near future.
For ICC, the best way is immediately to issue all the documents to me as I required. Perhaps, ICC and some ICC
employees will be safe as long as ICC would like to get an agreement with me.
Good luck!
Sincerely,
George
