Griever/Plaintiff's First Requests to RDA

Staddon vs. Griever: Legal Documents: Plaintiffs' First Requests to RDA

Editor's Notes

• Formal Title: Plaintiffs' First Interrogatories, Request for Production of Documents, and Notice to Produce at Trial to Defendant The ReDistribution Alternative, Inc.
• The first sentence under "A. General" seems ungrammatical; is it lawyerese, or a missing/extra word somewhere? If you take out the "and" after "9-11-33, ", it makes more sense.
