1 TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:
2 Please take notice that on July 20, 2012 at 1:30 a.m. at 111 North Hill Street, Los
3 Angeles, California 90012 or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, Defendants and
4 Judgment Creditors Knapp, Petersen and Clarke, Stephen Ray Garcia, Stephen Harris, and Andre
5 Jardini (KPC) will move this Court to compel Judgment Debtor, Stephen Gaggero to produce
6 documents in response to KPC's Request for Production of Documents (Set Two). This motion is
7 made pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 2023.010 and 2031.010, et seq. on the
8 following grounds:
9 1. KPC is entitled to the documents requested in Request for Production of
10 Documents (Set Two). Each request is designed to elicit information that will assist KPC in
11 enforcing their judgment. Mr. Gaggero has failed to provide a proper basis for withholding the
12
13
14
15
16
documents and has failed to substantial his claims ofprivilege or objections.
2. Mr. Gaggero, aided by his attorney, David Chatfield, has abused the discovery
process by making, without substantial justification, unmeritorious objection and evasive
responses to discovery. Mr. Gaggero and Mr. Chatfield's objections were solely to delay and
obstruct KPC's post-judgment discovery. KPC therefore requests sanctions in the amount of
17 $5,000 and an award of attorney fees in bringing this motion in the amount of $10,840 jointly
18 against Mr. Gaggero and Mr. Chatfield.
19 This motion is based upon this notice of motion and motion, the attached memorandum of
20 points and authorities, the accompanying Declaration of Austa Wakily, and, all pleadings and
21 papers on file in this action, and such additional facts and argument as may be presented at or
22 before the time ofthe hearing.

1 I. INTRODUCTION
2 Judgment Debtor, Stephen Gaggero, a wealthy real estate developer, implemented a
3 complex estate plan in 1997, as part of an asset protection scheme to cheat his creditors. The
4 estate plan involved transferring all of his personal wealth to multiple corporations and
5 partnerships that were in turn owned by one of his trusts and/or foundation. Immediately after
6 implementing the estate plan, Mr. Gaggero's estate planning attorney, and trustee of his trusts,
7 Joseph Praske, appointed him as the "asset manager" of the trusts and foundation. As the asset
8 manager Mr. Gaggero retained complete control of all his property, including decisions relating to
9 refinancing, tax, insurance, buying, selling, improving, and designing some ultimate disposition.
10 Additionally, Mr. Gaggero continues to reap the fmancial benefit from the assets in the estate plan
11 through his personal tax returns. Despite, Mr. Gaggero's substantial wealth, he has refused to pay
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
one penny towards the judgment.
Mr. Gaggero's present conduct is entirely consistent with his well-documented abuse of
the litigation and discovery process. The trial court in the underlying lawsuit found that:
"The evidence clearly and unequivocally supports the conclusion that although there was
no legal justification whatsoever for refusing to pay the judgment in full, Mr. Gaggero
never had any intention to payoff that obligation 100 cents on the dollar. Rather, his
absolutely single-minded focus was on delay as a tactic to force the VNBC judgment
creditors to accept a deeply discounted payoff. Every strategy devised or advocated by Mr.
Gaggero with respect to the VNBC judgrnentcreejitors w~s designed tQ make ilso difficult
and so expensive to continue the fight that they would capitulate.... (fn: In fact, it appears
this same strategy worked with respect to other judgment creditors" '
21 Using the same estate plan as a shield, Mr. Gaggero obstinately refuses to respond to post-
22 judgment discovery asserting claims of irrelevance, privilege, and invasion of privacy rights on
23 behalfofhis corporations, trusts, and partnerships. Mr. Gaggefo has refusedto produce documents
--
24 relating to the implementation of his estate plan arguing the transfers are irrelevant to KPC's
25 enforcement efforts. In fact, according to Mr. Gaggero, KPC is only entitled to information about
26 his finances after the entry ofjudgment and in some instances only-to his current assets.Mr.
27 Gaggero maintains that after giving away $35,000,000 worth of assets as part ofthe estate plan he

1 is now destitute. KPC has made substantial efforts in attempting to resolve the present discovery
2 dispute without the Court's intervention, including substantially limiting and clarifying the
3 requested documents. Mr. Gaggero simply refuses to cooperate.
4 Remarkably, while claiming that is he is destitute in response to KPC's post-judgment
5 discovery, Mr. Gaggero, in his personal capacity, is presently litigating a third legal malpractice
6 lawsuit against KPC. In this pending lawsuit Mr. Gaggero claims that he lost the ability to
7 purchase three ocean front properties in Santa Monica exceeding $2,000,000.00.1
KPC,
8 respectfully requests that this Court compel Mr. Gaggero to produce documents requested in the
9 Requests for Production of Documents (Set Two). Additionally, KPC seeks an award of attorney
10 fees and costs they incurred in bringing this motion in the amount of $10,840.00. Finally, KPC
11 requests sanctions against Mr. Gaggero's attorney in the amount of $5,000 for his collusion in Mr.
12 Gaggero's efforts to defraud his judgment creditors and to commit a fraud on the courts.

PROCEDURAL AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND
A. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
KPC filed the present Request for Production of Documents (Set Two) on January 31,
17 2012 seeking 38 categories of documents pertaining to Mr. Gaggero's estate plan, business,
18 entities, and general fmances. See Declaration of Austa Wakily (Decl. AW ~ 3, Exh. B). Mr.
19 Gaggero's responses were due on March 6,2012 . (ld. at ~ 3). On March 1,2012, Mr. Gaggero's
20 attorney, David Chatfield, requested a 30 day extension to respond citing to Mr. Gaggero's travel
21 schedule and other lawsuits as a basis for the request. (Id at ~ 4, Exh. C). As a matter of
22 professional courtesy Mr. Gaggero's deadline to respond was extended to March 20, 2012. (ld).
23 Mr. Gaggero served responses to KPC's Request for Production of Documents (Set Two) on
~-
24
25 1 KPC, pursuant to California Evidence Code Sections 452(d) and (h), respectfully requests that
this Court take judicial notice of the records and pleading filed in the present case, including the
26 Motion to Amend the Judgment to Add AdditioilalJudgrri~mt Debtors, and Mr. Gaggero's pending
lawsuits in Gaggero v Knapp, Petersen & Clarke, et aI, Los Angeles County Superior Court (Case
27 ND. BC286924) and Bunge v. 511 OF. W L.P., et aI, Los Angeles County Superior Court, (Case

~
1 March 20, 2012. (Id., at ~ 5, Exh. D ). The responses included general boilerplate objections
2 stating in part "[r]equests for documents relating to assets transferred, sold or liquidated over a
3 decade are clearly irrelevant to his judgment enforcement and will not be produced by plaintiff'
4 among numerous other boilerplate and frivolous responses. (Id). Mr. Gaggero did not produce a
5 privilege log or any documents. (Id). KPC, through counsel, responded to Mr. Gaggero's
6 responses on April 2, 2012. (Id. ~ 6, Exh. E). After delays by Mr. Chatfield, the parties met and
7 conferred on April 19, 2012. (Id. ~~ 7-9, Exh. F). Mr. Chatfield agreed to (1) provide

supplemental responses removing all boilerplate andlor or inapplicable objections, (2) provide a
"privilege log" for documents withheld pursuant to a claim of privilege, and (3) produce all
documents that are responsive to the requests that are not privileged. (Id. ~ 9, Exh. G).The
deadline to provide supplemental responses was April 30, 2012. (Id). Mr. Chatfield did not
produce any documents or a privilege log, serving only supplemental responses with baseless
objections. (Id. ~ 10, Exh. H). Mr. Chatfield did not respond to inquiries relating to his intention to
produce a privilege log or documents as he agreed during the meet and confer. (Id. ~ 11, Exh. 1).
KPC on May 11, 2012 afforded Mr. Gaggero another opportunity to resolve the discovery
disputes informally. (Id. ~ 11, Exh. J). Specifically, KPC, through counsel, sent Mr. Chatfield a 22
page letter stating the relevance of each documents requested, clarifying the scope of each request,
and providing case law and authority supporting each request. (Id). After two extensions Mr.
Gaggero was required to produce responsive documents and a privilege log no later than May 24,
2012. (Id.~. 14-15, Exh. K). Mr. Gaggero again refused. Rather, on May 24,2012 at 9:59 p.m.,
Mr. Chatfield notified KPC that a motion for protective order was filed relating to the requests.
(Id. ~ 16, Exh. L). The proposed protective order sought, among other things, to preclude KPC
from using evidence obtained in the present post-judgment collection efforts in their defense ofthe
pending legal lllaipractice lawsuit asserted against thc:In by Mr.. Gaggero. (lcl). In sum, Mr.
Gaggero is seeking the Court's aid to allow him to testify about his vast wealth in pursuing a
lawsuit while asserting that he is penniless in response to post-judgment discovery. (Id). KPC after
further delay tactics was forced to bring this motion. (Id. ~~ 17-18, Exh. M).

1 B. FACTUAL BACKGROUND
2 Mr. Gaggero created an estate plan in or about 1997. (Id. ~ 20, Exh. N). As part of the
3 estate plan Mr. Gaggero transferred approximately $35,000,000 into various entities, including
4 limited partnerships and limited liability companies. (Id). At the time of the transfer Mr. Gaggero
5 was sole the owner of all the entities into which he transferred his assets. (Id). He subsequently
6 transferred his ownership interests in the entities into one of two trusts or a foundation. (Id). Mr.
7 Gaggero continued to retain control over all assets that he transferred as an "asset manager" for the
8 properties and the trusts and foundation. (Id). Based on Mr. Gaggero's and Mr. Praske's
9 testimony during the Gaggero v. Yura trial, Mr. Gaggero's transfer of his assets into his various
10 entities and subsequently into one of his trusts was nothing more than an attempt to shield his
11 assets from creditors. (Id). Mr. Gaggero is the equitable owner of all assets that are a part of his
12 estate plan and KPC as the judgment creditors are entitled to all documents relating to his estate.
13 KPC, on April 10, 2012 filed a Motion to Amend the Judgment to add Mr. Gaggero's
14 trusts, foundation, and business entities as his alter egos. The Motion was granted on May 29,
15 2012. (Id). The amended judgment precludes Mr. Gaggero's further baseless objections on·
16 grounds of irrelevance and privacy, Mr. Gaggero's continued refusal to produce documents will be
17 clearly in bad faith and warrants sanctions.

19 III. DISCUSSION
20 A. LEGAL STANDARD
21 Post-judgment discovery is accorded the widest scope for inquiry concerning property and
22 business affairs ofthe debtor; the object of the proceedings being to compel the judgment debtor
23 to give information concerning his property. "Public policy does not support a judgment debtor's
24 attempt to be fess than candid about his assets and- ability to pay the-judgment especially when a
25 defmite legislative policy has established a procedure for aiding judgment creditors' collection of
26 their judgments." Youngv. Keele (1987) 188 Cal.App.3d 1090, 1093.

)
Here, the critical timeframe in ascertaining Mr. Gaggero's assets is approximately 15 years
ago when he implemented the estate plan. (Id. ~~ 13, 20, Exh. J, N). Mr. Gaggero seeks to curtail
the scope ofdiscovery to assets in his personal name after the entry ofjudgment and in some cases
to his current assets. (rd. ~~ 9-10, G, H). This is plainly wrong and contrary to case law. Troy v.
Superior Court (1986) 186 Cal.App.3d 1006, 1114 Gudgment debtor required to answer questions
relating to the transfer of any assets within the last 10 years). KPC is entitled to documents
relating to Mr. Gaggero's estate plan implemented over 15 years ago.
Mr. Gaggero has also objected to documents relating to his business entities and his
employment asserting a myriad of boilerplate and improper objections. (DecL AW ~ 10, Exh. H).
Case law is clear that KPC is entitled to information relating to Mr. Gaggero'sbusiness affairs.
Troy, supra 186 Cal.App.3d at 1114 citing Martin-Trigona v. Gouletas (7th Cir. 1980) 634 F.2d
354, 360 Gudgment debtor is obligated to answer questions relating to partners, co-shareholders,
co-officers and co-directors, and the contents of a will could reveal the existence and location of
assets owned by the judgment debtor). Additionally, documents relating to a judgment debtor's
employment records for the preceding five years are relevant and proper inquiry for post-judgment
discovery. Id. Mr. Gaggero's continued objections and refusal to provide these documents on
grounds of Constitutional right to privacy, third party privacy, or irrelevance are clearly be in bad
18 faith.

B. KPC'S REQUESTS SEEK DOCUMENTS THAT WILL AID IN THE
ENFORCEMENT OF THEIR JUDGMENT
Estate Plan: Requests 1-6, 15 seek documents relating to the Arenzano Trust, Giganin
Trust, and Aqua Sante Foundation and all entities or assets within the estate plan. Mr. Gaggero
testified that he implemented an estate plan 15 years ago which is comprised of the two trusts,
foundation, and multiple business entities. Mr. Gaggero is the trustor of these trusts and the
26 manager ofthe trusts,foundation, and assets within the estate plan. (Decl. AW ~·13, Exh. J).

Trusts and Foundations Generally: Requests 7-10 seek documents relating to all trusts

1 "estate plan." An example is the Terra Mar trust associated with Mr. Gaggero which has been
2 identified in the Bunge v. 511 G.F. W L.P., et aI, (2008) Los Angeles County Superior Court,(Case
3 No. SCI00361). (Decl. AW ~ 13, Exh. J).
4 General Finances: Requests 11-13, 25, 37 seek documents relating to Mr. Gaggero's
5 ability to live a lavish lifestyle, including vacationing overseas, living on a 1,500 acre ranch, and
6 spending hundreds ofthousands of dollars pursuing lawsuits, while claiming he is destitute. These
7 requests seek information concerning Mr. Gaggero's sources of income, financial benefits, right or
8 access to payments of any kind. (Id. ~ 13, Exh. J).

Assets: Requests 14, 20, 28, 30, and 36 seeks documents designed to elicit information
about Mr. Gaggero's current assets, millions of dollars he transferred to third parties, and
information about his ownership interest in the Canada Larga ranch. These documents will aid
KPC in identifying the present legal title ofthe properties as well as ascertaining the consideration
Mr. Gaggero received as part of the transfer which can be used to satisfy the judgment. (Id. ~ 13,
Exh.J).
Post-Judgment Discovery: Request 16 seeks documents relating to attempts of other
judgment creditors in enforcing their judgment against Mr. Gaggero. KPC is clearly entitled to all
documents relating to Mr. Gaggero's involvement in post-judgment discovery. (Id. ~ 13, Exh. J).
Business Entities: Requests 18, 33-34 seek documents relating to any entity, broadly
defined as a corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, general
partnership, trusts, foundation, or other partnership or association in which Mr. Gaggero is an
officer or member in his personal capacity. The requests also seek information relating to any
partr1ership in which Pacific Coast Management or Avalon Corporation is the general partner. (Id.
~ 13, Exh. J).
C. MR. GAGGERO HAS IGNORED IDS OBLIGATION TO COMPLY WITH
POST-DISCOVERY
Mr. Gaggero in response to requests, 1-5, 7-10, 15, asserts that responsive documents are
"helieved to be" in:MI. Praske's possession or control. (Id. ~, 10-11, Exh. H). First, Mr. Gaggero,

~l
;
1 pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure Section 2031.230, must "affirm that a diligent search and
2 a reasonable inquiry has been made in an effort to comply with that demand." (Decl. AW ~~ 6,
3 9,13, Exh. E, G, J). To the extent Mr. Gaggero claims that he is unable to comply, he must state
4 "whether the inability to comply is because the particular item or category has never existed, has
5 been destroyed, has been lost, misplaced or stolen, or has never been, or is no longer, in the
6 possession, custody or control ofthe responding party. (ld). The statement shall set forth the name
7 and address of any natural person or organization known or believed by that party to have
8 possession, custody or control ofthat item or category of item." (Id). Second, Mr. Gaggero must at
9 a minimum request the documents relating to his estate plan from his estate planning attorney,
10 Joseph Praske, who has an ethical obligation comply with his client's request. Mr. Gaggero did
11 not comply with the requests despite the noticed provided by KPC in the meet and confer
12 correspondence to Mr. Chatfield. (Id). Finally, Mr. Praske in Bunge v. 511 OF. W L.P has filed a .
13 motion for protective order relating to Mr. Gaggero's trust documents. Mr. Gaggero is actively
14 involved in that lawsuit as it relates to his business entities. Clearly Mr. Gaggero is fully aware
15 whether Mr. Praske has possession of the trust documents, but is intentionally refusing to comply
16 with his obligation.
17
18
19
D. MR. GAGGERO IS REQUIRED TO IDENTIFY WITH PARTICULARITY
DOCUMENTS WITHHELD PURSUANT TO ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING
CLAIMS OF PRIVILEGE
20 California Code of Civil Procedure § 2031.240(b)(1) requires Mr. Gaggero to identify with
21 particularity documents withheld pursuant to any objection, including but not limited to claims of
22 privilege. Hernandez v. Superior Court (2003) 112 Cal. App. 4th 285, 291. Mr. Gaggero is
23 required to set forth clearly the extent of, and the specific ground for, the objection. If an objection
24 is based on a clilim of privilege, the particular privilege invoked shall be stated. ffanobjection is
25 based on a claim that the infonnation sought is protected work product under Chapter 4
-
26 (commencing with Section 2018.010), that claim shall be expressly asserted." Code Civ. Proc. §§
27 203I.240(b)(1), (2). Importantly, objections made to requests for production of documents that do

1 not exists or are not in the attorney's or party's possession violate an attorney's ethical duty under
2 the Business and Professions Code to act truthfully and constitute bad faith. Bihun v. AT&T Info.
3 Sys. (1993) 13 Cal. App. 4th 976,991 n 5.
4 The purpose of a "privilege log" is to provide a specific factual description of documents
5 In aid of substantiating a claim of privilege in connection with a request for document
6 production." Hernandez, supra 112 Cal. App. 4th 285 at 292 citing Korea Data Systems Co. v.
7 Superior Court (1997) 51 Cal. App. 4th 1513, 1516-1517. The information in a privilege log or
8 accompanying any other claim ofprivilege must be sufficiently specific to permit the trial court to
9 determine whether each withheld document is or is not privileged. Kaiser Found. Hosp. v.
10 Superior Court (1998) 66 Cal. App. 4th 1217, 1228.
11 Mr. Gaggero, as the party who is seeking to assert this privilege has "[t]he burden of
12 showing the need for such protection." San Diego Professional Assn. v. Superior Court (1962) 58
13 Cal. 2d 194, 204. Mr. Gaggero must provide a specific factual description for each document
14 withheld sufficient to substantiate a claim of privilege in connection with a request for document
15 production. Hernandez, supra 112 Cal. App. 4th 285 at 292 citing Korea Data Systems Co. v.
16 Superior Court (1997) 51 Cal. App. 4th 1513,1516-1517. Mr. Gaggero has not established that
17 any of the documents he is seeking to withhold is subject to any privilege, thus, KPC respectfully
18 requests that this Court compel Mr. Gaggero to produce all documents without further objection.
19 (Decl. AW ~ 10, Exh. H).
20 E. MR. GAGGERO CANNOT ASSERT THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT OR
ATTORNEY WORK-PRODUCT PRIVILEGE TO COMMITT A FRAUD
21
22 The attorney-client privilege authorizes a client to refuse to disclose, and to prevent others
23 from disclosing, information communicated in confidence to the attorney and legal advice
-
24 received in return. Evid. Code, § 954. The privilege does not apply where the "services of the
25 lawyer were sought or obtained to enable or aid anyone to commit or plan to commit a crime or a
26 fraud." Evid. Code, § 956. To invoke crime/fraud exception to attorney-client privilege, the
27 proponent must make prima facie showing that services of lawyer were sought or obtained to

1 enable or to aid anyone to commit or plan to commit crime or fraud. State Farm Fire & Casualty
2 Co. v. Superior Court (1997) 54 Cal.App.4th 625. Here, Mr. Gaggero, while he was a judgment
3 debtor, retained Mr. Praske to implement an asset protection scheme to conceal his assets from
4 creditors. (Decl. AW ~ 20, Exh. N). Mr. Praske continues his work relating to the estate plan as the
5 trustee ofthe trusts or foundation and in his capacity as an officer of the various business entities.
6 Id.
7 Importantly, Mr. Gaggero only asserts this privilege as part of his efforts to defraud
8 judgment creditors. (Id. ~~16-17, 20, Exh. L, N). Mr. Gaggero in pursuing a breach of contract
9 lawSl.lit against in Gaggero v. Yura did not assert the attorney client privilege relating to his estate
10 plan. (Id. ~ 20, N). In fact both he and Mr. Praske testified in great lengths about the
11 implementation of the estate plan and Mr. Gaggero's authority to command resources within the
12 estate to purchase property in excess of 1 million dollars. (Id). Mr. Gaggero's cannot assert the
13 attorney-client privilege selectively to defraud his judgment creditors. Finally, Mr. Praske's
14 knowledge of the fraud is irrelevant for the crime-fraud exception to the attorney client privilege
15 to apply; instead, the application of it turns on Mr. Gaggero's intent. Freedom Trust v. Chubb
16 Group ofIns. Companies (1999) 38 F.Supp.2d 1170. There is no doubt that Mr. Gaggero was and
17 is perpetrating a fraud in implementing the estate plan designed to conceal his assets from his
18 judgment creditors.

It is well settled that the right of privacy is not absolute and it may be abridged to

316 (1982) (emphasis added). One such interest is uncovering the truth in legalproceedings by
allowing broad discovery. Id. When the right of privacy and the public interest conflict, the court
must balancethe inten.~stsfor a fair resolution ofthe lawsuit. Here, Mr. Gaggero seeks toassertthe .

On May 29, 2012 KPC's Motion to Amend the Judgment to Add Additional Judgment
Debtors came on for hearing before Judge Robert L. Hess. Judge Hess granted the motion adding
Pacific Coast Management, 511 OFW LP, Gingerbread Court LP, Malibu Broad Beach LP,
Marina Glencoe LP, Blu House LLC, Boardwalk Sunset LLC, and Joseph Praske, trustee, of the
Giganin Trust, Arenzano Family Trust, and Aquasante Foundation as judgment debtors. Mr.
Gaggero, therefore, can no longer assert the privacy rights of the trusts, foundation, and entities in
support ofhis refusal to comply with post-judgment discovery. (Id. ~20, Exh. N).

DECLARATION OF AUSTA WAKILY IN SUPPORT OF MOTION
TO COMPEL POST JUDGMENT REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
I, Austa Wakily, declare:
1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law by the State Bar of California. I am an
associate at the law firm Miller LLP and the attorney of record for the defendants and judgment
creditors, Knapp, Petersen & Clarke, Stephen Ray Garcia, Stephen Harris, and Andre Jardini
(collectively referred to as "KPC") in this action. I first became involved in the handling of the
post-judgment enforcement efforts in this action in mid-November 2012. I am also the attorney of
record in another lawsuit involving judgment debtor Stephen Gaggero against KPC for purported
legal malpractice. Since that time I have become familiar with the pleadings, records and files in
this action including the appeal and the amended judgment, including numerous transcripts and
various lawsuits in which Stephen Gaggero has been a party.
2. KPC obtained a judgment against Mr. Gaggero on May 19, 2008 in the amount of
$1,327,697,994.50 and amended on December 28, 2010 to include attorney fees and costs after
Mr. Gaggero unsuccessfully appealed the underlying judgment. KPC's judgment as of December
28,2012 totaled $1,841,535.80. Attached as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy ofthe amended
judgment.
3. I personally drafted 38 Requests for Pl:oduction of Documents (Set Two) pursuant
to Code of Civil Procedure § 708.030. Attached as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of the
requests served on January 31, 2012. The requests were specifically drafted to obtain information
to aid in the collection of the judgment including information relating to Mr. Gaggero's estate
plan, entities and assets within the estate plan, and third parties who have knowledge, possession,
or control of Gaggero's assets. Mr. Gaggero's respons_es were due on March6, 2012..
4. Mr. Gaggero's counsel ofrecord, David Chatfield, on March 1,2012 sent a letter to
our. office requesting a.30 day extension due in part to Gaggero's travel schedule and other
litigation. As a professional courtesy Mr. Chatfield, on March 2, 2012 was granted a two week

extension. Mr. Gaggero's deadline to respond was extended to March 20, 2012. Attached as
Exhibit C are copies ofthe letters relating to the extension.
5. Mr. Gaggero, through his counsel, served responses on March 20, 2012. No
documents were produced with the responses. A copy ofthe responses is attached as Exhibit D
6. After receiving and reviewing the responses I sent a letter dated April 2, 2012 to
Mr. Chatfield proposing to meet and confer on April 6, 2012 in an attempt to avoid having to
bring a motion to compel. Attached as Exhibit E is a copy ofmy letter to Mr. Chatfield.
7. Mr. Chatfield responded by email on April 3, 2012 stating that he was not available
to meet and confer on April 9, 2012 but was available any time after 10:00 on April 12, 2012.
Based on Mr. Chatfield's response I proposed to meet and confer on April 12,2012 at 3:00 pm.
Mr. Chatfield responded by email on April 6, 2012 agreeing to meet and confer on April 12, 2012
and extending our deadline to file a motion to compel to May 11,2012. Attached as Exhibit F is
a copy ofthe email.
8. I received a call from Mr. Chatfield's secretary on April 11, 2012 stating that Mr.
Chatfield could not make the scheduled meet and confer on April 12, 2012 due to an urgent
matter. Mr. Chatfield's secretary further informed me that he would be available to reschedule
the meet and confer to April 19,2012 at 3:00 p.m. and that we would also receive a one week
extension to file a motion to compel to May 18, 2012. I sent an email to Mr. Chatfield
confirming my conversation with his secretary. The email is included as part ofExhibit F.
9. On April 19, 2012 I called Mr. Chatfield to discuss the responses to the request for
production of documents. Mr. Chatfield agreed to (1) provide supplemental responses removing
all boilerplate and/or or inapplicable objections, (2) provide a "privilege log" for documents
withheld pursuant to a claim ofprivilege, and (3) produce all documents that are responsive to the
requests·that are not privileged. The deadline to provide supplemental responses was April 30,
2012. A copy ofmy email to Mr. Chatfield confirming our discussions is attached as Exhibit G.
10. Mr. Gaggero, through is counsel, served supplemental responses on April 30, 2012.
Mr. Gaggero again did not produce any documents. Attached as Exhibit H is a true and correct

copy of Mr. Gaggero's supplemental responses to the request for production of documents (set
two).
11. After reviewing the supplemental responses served on May 2, 2012 it became
readily apparent that Mr. Gaggero had no intention of producing the requested documents. My
agreement with Mr. Chatfield to allow him to supplement his responses to April 30, 2012
required him to comply with the three conditions to which he agreed. Mr. Gaggero's
supplemental responses did not include a privilege log or any document production. Additionally,
while the supplemental responses have removed the "General Objections" each objection
continues to assert imorooer boilerolate objections.......L .a. oJ ,
12. I sent Mr. Chatfield an email on May 2,2012 inquiring whether he would produce
a privilege log. Mr. Chatfield did not respond. Attached as Exhibit I is a copy of this email
communication.
13. I sent Mr. Chatfield a twenty one page meet and confer letter on May 11, 2012
addressing the deficiencies in the supplemental responses, limiting the scope of certain request,
and clarifying the requests. Attached as Exhibit J is a copy of the meet and confer letter sent on
May 11,2012.
14. In the letter I provide Mr. Gaggero to respond to the Meet and Confer no later than
May 15,2012. Mr. Chatfield emailed me on May 14,2012 requesting a two week extension of
our respective-deadlines due to a deadline to file an opposition In a reIated motion. I responded
on May 14,2012 agreeing to provide him a one week extension to May 22, 2012. Attached as
Exhibit K is a copy ofthe email correspondence.
15. On May 21,2012, Mr. Chatfield's assistant, Dawn Masters called me to request an
additional two day extension for Mr. Chatfield to respond to the meet and confer letter dated May
11~2012.(agreedto provide Mr. Chatfield until May 24, 2012 to respond conditioned on a two
day extension for filing the motion to compel to May 31, 2012. Attached with Exhibit K is a copy
- -- ---
of my email to Mr. Chatfield and Ms. Masters confmning my telephone conversation with Ms.
27 Masters.

16. Mr. Chatfieldemailed me on May 24,2012 at 9:59 p.m. to state that he has filed a
motion for protective order. Attached as Exhibit L is a copy of Mr. Chatfield's email to me and
the proposed protective order. After reviewing the protective order I believe that Mr. Gaggero's
purpose in seeking the order is to prohibit KPC from using evidence obtained from post-judgment
discovery against him in his pending legal malpractice lawsuit against KPC. (Exh. L, ~ 4
Protective Order). I previously explained to Mr. Chatfield in response to a protective order in the
debtor examination proceeding that we will not agree to any protective order that will allow Mr.
Gaggero to commit perjury in prosecuting a lawsuit against KPC while also precluding them
from enforcing their judgment. This is documented in my email attached with Exhibit L.
17. I responded to Mr. Chatfield's email on May 25, 2012 to clarify his misstatements
that were confirmed in my emails. I also informed him that we would proceed with filing a
motion to compel based on his client's failure to cooperate with post-judgment discovery.
Attached as Exhibit M is a copy ofmy email to Mr. Chatfield.
18. Mr. Chatfield responded requesting further meet and confers on the discovery and
requesting that I do not file a motion to compel. In response I emailed Mr. Chatfield to confirm
that he produced with his May 24, 2012 supplemental responses the privilege log he stated he
would produce on April 30, 2012. Mr. Chatfield confirmed that he has not produced a privilege
log and intends to comply. I explained in a response that his client's deadline to respond was May
24~ 2012requiring actual -compliance and not another assertion of an intent to comply. Attached -
with ~~itit-M is a copy ofthe email.,~',,:;',.,.';; :.~,,,~./ .... ;.' '.
19. KPC subsequently received 15 pages of documents produced in response to
Request for Production of Documents (Set Two). The documents are considerably insufficient in
responding to KPC's requests.
20. On May 29, -2012 KPC'sMotion to Amend the Judgment to Add AdditionaI"
Judgment Debtors came on for hearing before Judge Robert L. Hess. Judge Hess granted the
motion adding Pacific Coast Management, 511 OFW LP, Gingerbread Court LP, Malibu Broad
Beach LP, Marina Glencoe LP, Blu House LLC, Boardwalk Sunset LLC, and Joseph Praske,

trustee, of the Giganin Trust, Arenzano Family Trust, and Aquasante Foundation as judgment
debtors. Attached as Exhibit N is a true and correct copy of the Motion to Amend the Judgment
and signed order.
21. Mr. Chatfield notified me immediately after the Court granted KPC's Motion to
Amend the Judgment that he will file a notice of appeaL Based on Mr. Chatfield's statements
and Mr. Gaggero's numerous appeals I believe that he will appeal the Court's ruling and continue
refusing to cooperate with post-judgment discovery on that basis.
22. Based on Mr. Chatfield's and Mr. Gaggero's tactics in abusing the discovery
process I believe that any request for further meet and confers is solely as a delay tactic and will
not result in the production of any documents. As a result, it has been necessary to bring this
motion.
23. I personally drafted and reviewed each request in the Request for Production of
Documents (Set Two). Each of the requests is likely to lead to information that will aid KPC in
enforcing their judgment.
24. In order to bring this, I expended no less 20 hours preparing the motion and
accompanying separate statement, declaration, and exhibits. Additionally, I spent 20 hours
reviewing Mr. Gaggero's responses and supplemental responses to the request for production of
document, preparing the meet and correspondences to Mr. Chatfield, and meeting and conferring
with Mr. Chatfield. I expect to spend additIonal five (5) hours preparing-any reply briefs and
attending the hearing on this matter.
25. My hourly rate is $240. I seek an award of attorney's fees for $10,800 for 45 hours
ofwork at $240 per hour, plus the $40.00 filing fee for a total of$10,840.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the
foregoing IS true and correct and that this declaration was executed on May g/,2012 at Los
Angeles, California.

1 PlaintiffStephenM. Gaggero (''Plaintiff') hereby responds and objects to Defendant
2 Knapp, Petersen & Clarke's (''Defendant'') Request for Production ofDocUlP.ents. The response
3 contains both general and specific objections, which are incorporated .into each individual
4 response.
5 PRELThfiNARYSTATEMENT
6 Nothing in this response shall be construed as waiving any rights or objections that might
7 otherwise be available to Plaintiff, Plaintiffmakes this response subject to and without waiver of:
8 (1) the right to make additional objections or seek protective orders in the event additional
9 review offiles results in further information;
10 (2) the right to object to other discovery directed to the subject matter ofthe Requests; and
11 (3) the right to revlse, correct, supplement, or clarify the response.
12 GENERAL OBJECTIONS
13 1. Plaintiffobjects generally to the Requests, and to each individual Request, on the
14 grounds that they are. overly broad and unduly burdensome and harassing in that they are clearly
15 not li:r.i:rited to docUment~ necessary to aid in the enforcement ofthe judgment for fees and costs in
16 this matter. Requests for documents relating to assets transferred, sold or liquidated over a decade
17 ago are clearly irrelevant to this judgment enforcement and will not be produced byplaintiff.
18 2. Plaintiffobjects generally to the Requests, and to each individual Request, to the
19 extent that they call for information protected from discovery or disclosure by anyprivilege or
"-:' --.---:~--.: .,-.:-~~ -.-~'~ :--: --.~'.'--.-.",::.--._-._-:.- "._." :~"- .... "___7 ....."._" _. ~ ", __ :"_.: ~~_~_~ .... "'~.._ ~ _':_.'.'_-. .' ._. .. _.....: ..._.._~ . . . . . _. _ ....
20 doctrine, including, without limitation, the attorney-client privilege, the attorney work product
21 doctrine, and anyprivilege or doctrine that protects infoITnation from discovery or disClosure
22 because it otherwise reflects the impressions, conclusions, opinions, legal research, litigation plans
23 or theories ofPlaintiffs attorneys. By providing certain information requested herein, Plaintiff
24 does notwaiveanypriyilege or protection that is or maybe applicable to such information.

1 applicable to such information.
2 4. Plaintiffobjects generally to the Requests, and to each individual Request, to the
3 extent tha{theypmport to impose upon Plaintiffobligations beyond those imposed under the Code
4 of Civil Procedure or Court Rules.
5 5. Plaintiffobjects generally to the Requests, and to each individual Request, to the
6 extent that they request information that is in the possession, custody or control of:Defendants.
7 6. Plaintiffobjects generally to the Requests, and to each individual Reqll:est, to the
8 extent that they seek information that is not in the custody or control ofPlaintiff. Plaintifffurther
9 objects generally to the Requests to the extent that they seek information that is publicly available,
10 or to which Plaintiffhas aCcess equal to as Plaintiff, or which PlaintiffOr Plaintiffs counsel could
.11 obtain with equal effort.
12 7. Plaintiffobjects generally to the Requests, and to each individual request, to the
13 extent that they seek disclosure ofinformation that is confidential and/or proprietary.
14 8. Plaintiff objects generally to the Requests, and to each Request, because they are
15 vague, ambiguous, unintelligible, undated, unsigned, and overly broad, in that they contain
16 undefined terms or pmport to impose definitions that are both internally inconsistent and
----------n- ·-mcompatltrle witlrb1'ditrary,-common;-·orestablished-meanings:--Aecordingly,·iti.-mterpreting-and- .-----._.-
18 construing the requests, Plaintiffwill give words their ordinary meaning, common, and established
19 :ine~g~, s?_that._tJ:1e.r~SIJonses and objections will not be subject to misinterpretation. When the
__ .. "..... :. _':_'::::" __ :.:~ .. _M. __ .~. __.::_ ...._ ••" __ ' __ '_::-.__.::-'..::_..__ .. " ..,': .... _. :__ ~.•.. _ ~_.-: ... . _...... .
20 response uses the present tense, plaintiffwill presume that defendants are referring to the present
21 time. When the request uses the word "since" plaintiffunderstands the word to have the meaning
22 set forth in Webster's dictionary "after a time in the past.;'
23 9. Plaintiffobjects to the definition ofthe terms "you" and "your" set forth in
24 _Paragraph 1 ofDefendant'spe:fi.nitions in that it collectiyely n~fers to Plaintiff, together with his
