PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S M OTION TO DISM SS ACTION FOR

FAILURE TO APPEAR AT DEPOSITION

Plaintiff Traian Bujduveanu, Pro Se , hereaRer know as GtMovant'', files this response tothe Defendant's M otion to Dismiss Action for Failure to Appear at Depositions pursuant to

Federal Rulets) of Civil Procedure 300944) and 45(b)(c)(d) andtg ,and sutes as follows:

l . On December 06, 201 1 the Defendants filed a M otion to Dismiss Action for Faillzre to

Appear at Deposition (Document #78).

2. The M ovant acknowledges that the Defendrmt's cotmsel attempted to schedule

depositions on the following occasions; October 10, 2011, November 1 1, 2011, and

December 5, 201 1 (Composite Exhibit 1 to Defendants motion).

3. The M ovant further acu owledges that he tmderstands the importance of said depositionsfor the public's interest in expeditious resolution of litigation, the court's need to manageits dockets.

4. It is ms a result of this tmderstanding that the Movant made every attempt to communicate

via emails between the M ovant and the Defendant's counsel as to his inability to make

attend the depositions due to llis documented and court docketed illnesses (SeeComposite Exhibit 1 to this motion).

Furthermore, as evident in the back and forth email correspondences, the Defendant's

cotmsel made no request for current medical docllments to justify the Movant's assertionthat he was unable to attenda which the M ovant would have been glad to provide

, suchthat said docllmentation would result in either a rescheduling of the M ovant's depositionto a time that he was physically able to appear for his deposition, or such that other

Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 86 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/22/2011 Page 1 of 43

Page 2: Plaintiff's response to defendant's motion to dismeiss action for failure to appear at deposition

arrangements for deposing the Movant could be reasonably made ie) via telephone orclose circuit television (See Composite Exhibit 1 to this motion).

6. lt is not clear as to why the Defendant's cotmsel would question the M ovant's health ashe was originally released from the Defendant's Halfway House to home confmement

due to several medical conditions, namely being diar osed with Hepatitis C infection,

Cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes, chronic fatigue, depression, thrombocytopenia, ascites,low platelet cotmt, an possible liver cancer indicated by elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels

shown in blood test and Mltl results (See original Movant's Complaint Exhibit A).

7. Given the fact that the only subsequent changes to the Movant's health condition has

been ones in which his health has further deteriorated, and that the M ovant believed ingood faith that the Defendant's and their counsel were aware of these circllmstnces, and

furthermore that Defendant's cotmsel did not request any updated medical records from

the M ovant indicating a change in his current medical condition, he did not providefttrther proof of his conditions as it was not requested or walvanted under thecirctlmstances.

8. The Defendant's counsel in his motion asserts that because the M ovant was able to

appear at mediation, prepared llis M otion for Sllmmary Judgment, Statement of Facts,and Revised Statements of Facts, the Movant should have been able to make it to the

scheduled depositions; however this assertion does not take into consideration that for thefor the last seven months, the Ascites the M ovant has been battling has caused his

physicians to give him a 50/50 chance of surviving his scheduled surgery, which has been

rescheduled due to his exacerbated medical condition, and the fact that he has used whatlittle remaining energy he had remaining to prepare his motions and court docllments.

(See Composite Exhibit 2 to this motion).

9. Federal Rulets) of Civil Procedure 30(b)(4) deals with the administration of a depositionwhen a party is physically tmable to attend a scheduled deposition it provides additional

avenues for obtaining the information that achieves both the Defendant's need forinformation in regards to the discovery and the M ovant's physical ability to comply:

ttBy Remote Means. The parties may stipulate--or the court may on motionorder- that a deposition be taken by telephone or other remote means. For the

purpose of this rule and Rules 28(a), 37(a) (2), and 37(b) (1), the deposition takesplace where the deponent answers the questions.''

10. n is however would have required a court order, which the Defendant's counsel was

unwilling to acquire. Subdivision (b) (4.). ln order to facilitate less expensive procedures,provision is made for the recording of testimony by other than stenon phic means- e.g.,by mechanical, electronic, or photographic means. Because these methods give rise to

problems of accuracy and trustworthiness, the party taking the deposition is required to

apply for a court order. The order is to specify how the testimony is to be recorded,preservedo and filed, and it may contain whatever additional safeguards the court deems

necessary. W hich leads the M ovant to question whether the Defendant truly questionedthe M ovant's health condition, or whether this was simply a subversive tactic to avoid the

Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 86 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/22/2011 Page 2 of 43

Page 3: Plaintiff's response to defendant's motion to dismeiss action for failure to appear at deposition

court addressing M ovant's Petition for Sllmmary Judgment as they were fearful ofstrength of the M ovant's case.

l 1. Rule 37(d) authorizes the district court to require an attorney ''to pay the reasonableexpenses, including attomeys' fees, caused by the failure'' of its client to appear at adeposition, ''unless the court finds that the fmltlre was substlmtiallyjustified or that othercircumstances make an award of expenses tmjust'' Under Rule 3709(2), which has thesame language as Rule 37(d), the burden of showing substantialjustitkation and specialcircumstances is on the party being sanctioned. FalstaF Brewing Corp. v. M iller Brewing

Co., 702 F.2d 770, 784 (9th Cir.1983). We thus apply the same bttrden of proof for Rule37(d). Since, Movant is the one here in the case facing sanctions, the bttrden of proof forproving that substantialjustitkation for sanctions falls on the Defendants and theircotmsel, and althoujh the Defendant's cotmsel has proven himself to be an expert in thearea of law, his abihty to make material statements of facts towards the M ovant's medicalcondition and ability to make it to depositions is in question.

12. The courts have also fotmd in Hyde & Drath v. Kenneth R. Baker that:tçW e cannot conclude that each of the appellant corporations was substantially

justified in failinj to attend the depositions. Only K'ung's failure to appear wassubstantially justlfied. Although we have declined to reach the merits of theargument that K'unjwas excused from attending the depositions for healthreasons, we do declde that K'tmg had, at the least, a good faith dispute concerning

the question of whether he was obligated to aypear in light of his serious illness.He was therefore substantially justitied in faillng to appear at the deposition. ld.(1n fact he subsequently died of brain cancer). However, as discussed above, noneof the other corporations have a good faith dispute concem ing their failures to

appear. Except for K'tmg, Hyde & Drath has failed to show that its clients were

substantially justitied in violating the court's discovery orders. (Hyde and Drath v.Kenneth R. Baker, et al (24 F.3d 1 162:.''

13. If the Defendant's counsel was truly convinced that the M ovant was avoiding theirrequest for discovery via deposition, they could have exercised their rights under Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 45(b)(c)(d) andtg and filed a Subpoena for Deposition, in whichthe court would issue a Command to Attend a Deposition. This would be done in an

effort to (c)(1) Avoiding Undue Burden or Expense: Sanctions. A party or attorneyresponsible for issuing and serving a subpoena must take reasonable steps to avoid

imposing tmdue burden or expense on a person subject to the subpoena. The issuing courtmust enforce this duty and impose an appropriate sanction- which may include lost

earnings and reasonable attomey's fees--on a party or attorney who fails to comply. Infollowing the rules of civil procedure, the court would issue and order for contempt in

which the issuing court may hold in contempt a person who, having been served, fails

without adequate excuse to obey the subpoena.

14. Given the fact that Defendant's cotmsel knows that they would not have met the burdenof proof requiring the court to issue a subpoena for the M ovant to appear in light of the

critical nature of his health condition, they chose instead to circumvent this process, and

3

Case 1:11-cv-20120-PAS Document 86 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/22/2011 Page 3 of 43

Page 4: Plaintiff's response to defendant's motion to dismeiss action for failure to appear at deposition

use other avenues of acllieving this means to their ends, thus robbing the court of itspower to compel compliance with the rtzles of civil procedure.

15. A district court has wide discretion to establish the time and place of depositions. ln re

Standard Metals Corp., 817 F.2d 625, 628 (101 Cir.1987), cert. dismissed, 488 U.S. 881,109 S.Ctd. 201, 102 L.Ed.2d 171 (1988). Here, the special master explained that it wasnecessary for the Hong Kong depositions to Gke place in San Francisco so that the court

could oversee the proceedings since appellants had disregarded the previous deposition

order. He also noted that appellants had done business and filed suit in the NorthernDistrict of California and should therefore expect to have to appear there. These facts aresum cient to establish that there was no abuse of discretion in ordering the depositions to

occur in San Francisco.

16. Before a district court dismisses a complaint, it must weigh the five factors prescribed in

Wanderer v. Johnston, 9l0 F.2d 652, 656 (9th Cir. 1990). n en, the distlict court mustfind that a party's behavior in igoring the depositions demonstrated willllness, badfaith, or fault. Fjelstad v. Amencan Honda Motor Co., 762 F.2d 1334, 1341 (9thCir.1985).

17. Finally, the fifth factor requires the district court to consider alternate, less severe,

sanctions before ordering dismissal. To determine whether the distict court fultilled this

obligation, the reviewing court examines whether the court (1) explicitly discussed thefeasibility of less drastic sanctions and explained why alternative sanctions would be

inappropriate, (2) implemented altemative sanctions before ordering dismissal, and (3)warned the party of the possibility of dismissal before acttzally ordering it. Adriana, 913F.2d at 1412-13. But, ''explicit discussion of alternatives is Ilnnecessary if the districtcourt acmally tries altematives before employing the ultimate sanction of dismissal.''

M alone, 833 F.2d at 132.

W HERFORE given the fact that Defendant's counsel is tmable to esublish malicious intent,bad faith, or fault in the Movant's failure to appear and because the Defendant's cotmsel

refuses to exercise the legally available options at their disposal to approach the court tocompel the M ovant to comply, the M ovant respectfully requests that Defendant's M otion be

denied.

Thank you for your email.

lt very much appears to me as you are the one qualified to make medical as well as court decisions in this

As you have catœ orically refused to participate in the discovery process and more than that you have totally

ignored the third request for discovery, I suggest that you wait first for a court answer and decision on alI

pending motions.

Dear M r. Chaiet,

Thank you again for your email.

Please be kind and understand that I wish to be as helpful as possible.

However I cannot attend your deposition set by you, due to the inconvenience of being very sick.

W e need to reschedule the deposition during a tim e that I w ill be in good health and l have a clear mind,

as stress can cause my m ind to go completely blank, or even to misremem ber things which could dam age

your cause.

Once again, I believe the Iogic thing here will be to schedule the deposition after the Court will answer aII

pending motions, and also after my surgery.

Best Regards

Traian Bujduveanu

Re: Motion for Summary Judgment,

Dear Mr. Chaiet,

1 believe this is what you wanted me to do from the inception of this case.

The other way around, of course, you would have had to reveal many unpleasant criminal ads committed bythe defendants, and that could have Iead into a criminal investigation by the Department of Justice

.

Again, 1 do not blame you for prottvfing the Defendants because this is your job and you are also paid a îot ofmoney by their insurance company.

With my limited financial resources, I could not have a fair fight, but Iife is not fair aII the time.

Just make sure that the Justice Department do not come aRer them, because they have really got away a few

times with criminal ads.

Best Regards

I am not here to educate you on the rules. However, you are not entirely correct.

The Court does not have your motion on its books.

You cannot sim ply set one, especially without coordinating it with our office.

If you are well enough to draft, file and set a motion for summary judgment, then you should be able toattend a deposition.

M y office will be re-setting your deposition.
