This action arises from allegations of construction defect concerning a condominium unit
purchased by Plaintiffs Felipe Rodriguez (“Rodriguez”) and Mary Barrett (“Barrett” and
collectively with Rodriguez “Plaintiffs”). Each unit of the subject condominium are part of
Defendant homeowners’ association 1401 Camden, Inc. Association (“Defendant”). Defendant
previously brought three motions to compel further responses to deposition questions and
requests for production of documents propounded on Rodriguez, Barrett, and third-party Kathie
Kent (“Kent”) in connection with the notices of deposition for those individuals. Plaintiffs served
objections to the document demands, claiming they called for the protection of documents
protected by the attorney-client, work product, mediation, and trade secret privileges. Plaintiffs
oppose Defendant’s motions to compel.
The Court granted Defendant’s motions and ordered Plaintiffs to provide supplemental
objections as well as a privilege log for each document withheld on the basis of privilege.
