Q: Discovery - Copyright case in CA
I have filed a copyright lawsuit in CA as a pro se litigant. Does opposing counsel need to verify his responses to Plaintiff’s Request for Production of Documents? He has produced no documents and objects to all but two requests. Thank you.
A:
If you filed a copyright case in pro per, you are swimming in very deep water with a lot of sharks. Opposing counsel does not need to verify Objections that are responses, but if he did not object to 2 of your requests those responses must be verified by the Defendant. If you do not agree with his objections you can file a motion to compel further responses. If you think he properly objected to the form of your request, the easiest path is to send a new set of modified requests that correct the problems raised by the objections.
