2 advance of the September 26, 2008 hearing on Plaintiff’s motion to compel responses to interrogatories
3 and for sanctions.

I. DETAILS OF THE PARTIES’ DISCOVERY CONFERENCES
5
6 On October 11, 2007, Plaintiff served Requests for Production, Set One (“RPD1”) on Defendant
7 County of Kern. On July 18, 2008, Plaintiff served Requests for Production, Set Three (“RPD3”) on
8 Defendant County of Kern. On January 18, 2008, Defendants served a privilege log on Plaintiff. On
9 January 25, they served a supplemented privilege log on Plaintiff. Defendants have produced documents
10 responsive to the requests in general in multiple installments. However, to date, Defendants have failed
11 to produce documents which they stated they would produce in response to the specific requests detailed
12 below. Moreover, Defendants have withheld documents as indicated in their privilege logs which they
13 should have produced but, to date, have not.
14 The parties met and conferred extensively in person and in writing on the Requests which are at
15 issue in this motion. Defendant initially agreed to produce the documents at various times but ultimately
16 failed to do so. Plaintiff was left no choice but to bring a motion to compel.
17
II. A STATEMENT OF THE NATURE OF THE CASE AND FACTUAL DISPUTES
18
19 Plaintiff David F. Jadwin, D.O., F.C.A.P., former Chair of Pathology at Kern Medical Center
20 (“KMC”) and senior pathologist from October 24, 2000 to October 4, 2007, filed a Complaint with this
21 Court on January 6, 2007. Plaintiff contends that various defendants retaliated against and defamed him
22 for reporting his concerns about patient care quality issues and regulatory violations at KMC. As a
23 result, Plaintiff was forced to take medical and recuperative leave for disabling chronic clinical
24 depression in early 2006. While Plaintiff was on leave, Defendants demoted him in June 2006 to a staff
25 pathologist for “unavailability” and refused to reinstate him upon his return to work on October 4, 2006.
26 On December 7, 2006, he was placed on involuntary administrative leave and restricted to his home
27 during working hours until May 1, 2007. Around May 1, 2007, Defendant informed Plaintiff of its
28 decision to either “buy out” the remaining term of his contract (due to expire on October 4, 2007) or

JOINT STATEMENT re: DISCOVERY DISPUTE re: MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION 2


Case 1:07-cv-00026-OWW-TAG Document 227 Filed 09/23/2008 Page 6 of 19

1 simply let the contract “run out”. On October 4, 2007, Defendants did not renew Plaintiff’s employment
2 contract.
3 Plaintiff’s Complaint alleges whistleblower retaliation, disability discrimination, medical leave
4 interference and retaliation, defamation and deprivation of compensation and professional fees without
5 procedural due process.
6 Defendants contend that the dispute arose out of Plaintiff’s tenure as a pathologist at Kern
7 Medical Center. Plaintiff’s relationship with other members of the medical staff deteriorated to the point
8 of intimidation, hostility and antagonism. Defendants contend, to the extent that any hostile work
9 environment existed, it was caused by Plaintiff.

PLAINTIFF’S POSITION
21
These documents should have been produced long ago.
22
Regarding peer review privilege, this Court has already ruled that there is no peer review
23
privilege in federal law per Agster v. Maricopa County, 422 F.3d 836 (9th Cir. 2005) and that state law
24
based privileges do not apply to this federal action per Boyd v. City and County of San Francisco, 2006
25
WL 1390423 *3 (N.D. Cal. 2006). See Doc. 124, 3:3 - 4:2.
26
Defendants’ privacy objections do not comply with the Stipulation & Order re Privacy (Doc.
27
137). Doc. 137 states in pertinent part:

JOINT STATEMENT re: DISCOVERY DISPUTE re: MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION 4


Case 1:07-cv-00026-OWW-TAG Document 227 Filed 09/23/2008 Page 8 of 19

1 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their


respective counsel that, with regard to balancing the privacy interests of the Defendants
2 against the Plaintiff's need for disclosure, the Plaintiff's need for disclosure prevails as to
documents that reveal the nature of interpersonal work relationships at KMC between
3 core physicians and others, on-the-job behavior towards other members of KMC staff by
core physicians, complaints against core physicians regarding their behavior at KMC
4 and the County's actions in response.
5 As for the HIPAA concern stated with respect to surgical pathology reports, that is baseless.
6 Defendants have had no difficulty producing hundreds of pages of surgical pathology reports in this
7 action with patient identifying information redacted.
8 Plaintiff requests an in camera review by the Court of the above withheld documents to
9 determine whether Defendants’ asserted grounds for withholding them have merit.

22
outside facilities, both slides and KMC reports. Most will have a report from the outside facility when

13 The TAT reports should be printed by pathologist for monthly (or quarterly) periods using the
14 HBO reporting system. Ms. Kathy Griffith should know how to generate these reports. Reports should
15 be generated for all pathologists including Drs. Freedman, Ang, Lang, Liu, Jadwin, Dutt, Shertudke, and
16 Yakhoub. Reports can be generated for Surgical Cases (S99- through S08-), Fine Needle Aspiration

12 RESPONSE TO REOUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 104
13 With regard to Plaintiff, all such notes that Defendants are aware of have been previously
14 produced. With regard to the other individuals, Defendants object to this request on the grounds that it
15 calls for the production of information that is protected by the privacy interests of individuals who are
16 not "comparators" as that term has been defined in the reported cases and is not reasonably calculated to
17 lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
18 PLAINTIFF’S POSITION
19 Defendants are not complying with the Stipulation & Order re Privacy (Doc. 137). Doc. 137
20 states in pertinent part:
21 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their
respective counsel that, with regard to balancing the privacy interests of the Defendants
22 against the Plaintiff's need for disclosure, the Plaintiff's need for disclosure prevails as to
documents that reveal the nature of interpersonal work relationships at KMC between
23 core physicians and others, on-the-job behavior towards other members of KMC staff by
core physicians, complaints against core physicians regarding their behavior at KMC
24 and the County's actions in response.
25 Given that Plaintiff was a chair when he was demoted and a non-chair core physician when he
26 was placed on administrative leave and his contract was not renewed, all core physicians are
27 comparators. It is well settled that Plaintiff is entitled to access comparator evidence to prove his claims.
28 It is not for Defendants to say who is a comparator and who is not for purposes of Plaintiff’s claims.

Q. ASSERTION OF PEER REVIEW PRIVILEGE AND PRIVACY PRIVILEGE
10
In their responses to Plaintiff’s foregoing requests, Defendants at times assert peer review
11
privilege and privacy privilege.
12
PLAINTIFF’S POSITION
13
Regarding peer review privilege, this Court has already ruled that there is no peer review
14
privilege in federal law per Agster v. Maricopa County, 422 F.3d 836 (9th Cir. 2005) and that state law
15
based privileges do not apply to this federal action per Boyd v. City and County of San Francisco, 2006
16
WL 1390423 *3 (N.D. Cal. 2006). See Doc. 124, 3:3 - 4:2.
17
Regarding privacy privilege, Defendants are not complying with the Stipulation & Order re
18
Privacy (Doc. 137). Doc. 137 states in pertinent part:
19
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their
20 respective counsel that, with regard to balancing the privacy interests of the Defendants
against the Plaintiff's need for disclosure, the Plaintiff's need for disclosure prevails as to
21 documents that reveal the nature of interpersonal work relationships at KMC between
core physicians and others, on-the-job behavior towards other members of KMC staff by
22 core physicians, complaints against core physicians regarding their behavior at KMC
and the County's actions in response.

1 reasonable attorney fees, unless the losing party was substantially justified in making or opposing the
2 motion (or other circumstances make such an award unjust). FRCP 37(a)(5); H. K. Porter Co., Inc. v.
3 Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (6th Cir. 1976) 536 F2d 1115, 1124–1125.
4 Plaintiff has met and conferred several times with Defendants in person and in writing, clearing
5 up any “confusion” and responding to any concerns. Despite this, Defendants have insisted on
6 withholding a vast amount of documents in violation of discovery rules and the orders of this Court.
7 Plaintiff requests this court compel Defendants to fully and properly produce documents in response to
8 the foregoing requests without further delay.
9 Pursuant to Rule 37, plaintiff further seeks attorney fees in the amount of $5,120 in consideration
10 of 8.8 of the hours which plaintiff has spent meeting and conferring, preparing this motion and hours
11 Plaintiff anticipates spending attending the hearing on this motion. Finally, plaintiff requests whatever
12 other sanctions this court deems proper and just.

4 this case. Consequently, this request is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of
5 admissible evidence. Defendants also object on the ground that the phrase, “informal or internal
6 complaints” is vague and, depending on interpretation, could include any off-hand gripe by any
7 employee, to the extent it was memorialized in writing. Defendant County of Kern employs
8 several thousand employees. In the past seven years, there could be many documents that fit the
9 description of this request yet none have anything to do with the issues in this case. This request
10 is, accordingly, overbroad and burdensome. Defendants do not believe redaction would resolve
11 these objections.

14 Any and all DOCUMENTS RELATING TO placental evaluations conducted by Plaintiff

15 from June 14, 2006 to the present.

16 RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 78

17 Plaintiff has attempted to narrow this request but the revised request is broader, more

18 burdensome and less calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence than the original

19 request. Defendants object to it for that reason. Defendants object to this request because it is

20 not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence and is burdensome.

21 Defendants also object to this request on the grounds that it seeks information that is shielded

22 from disclosure under HIPAA. There are thousands of placental evaluations for the time period

23 specified and they are not centrally filed or maintained. Locating ones conducted by Plaintiff

24 will require writing a computer program that will sort the files. After the files are sorted, it will

25 require a manual review of each file to find the placental evaluation. It will have to be copied

26 and redacted and copied again. Defendants estimate it will take approximately 90 days to

27 comply with this request. Without waiving these objections, Defendants will attempt to locate,

28 copy and produce the documents requested

Subject: Discovery Responses

Mark, 
 
Thank you for your fax of August 15, 2008. I am writing to meet and confer regarding Defendants’ responses to Plaintiff’s 
latest discovery requests. 
 
RFA2 consisting of RFA nos. 291 to 294 and RFA3 consisting of RFA nos. 295 to 296 request authentication and business 
record determination to documents which were identified in an attached schedule. Defendants have responded as 
follows: 
 
“Defendants object to this request on the ground that it calls for a legal conclusion and, in that sense, is a contention 
inquiry and not a proper request for admission. Defendants will be prepared to address authentication and business 
records determination at the pre‐trial conference.” 
 
Plaintiff’s position is that these are standard authentication and business record RFAs. Plaintiff intends to move to 
compel responses and/or to deem them admitted. 
 
RPD3 includes RPD nos. 104 and 105, requesting handwritten notes of Dr. Kolb and Mr. Bryan, respectively, relating to 
complaints and corrective action of certain persons. Defendants have responded as follows: 
 
“With regard to Plaintiff, all such notes that Defendants are aware of have been previously produced. With regard to the 
other individuals, Defendants object to this request on the grounds that it calls for the production of information that is 
protected by the privacy interests of individuals who are not "comparators" as that term has been defined in the 
reported cases and is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.” 
 
Plaintiff’s position is that Defendants’ are not complying with the Stipulation & Order re Privacy (Doc. 137). Unless 
Defendants produce these documents immediately (and prior to Plaintiff’s re‐convening of Mr. Bryan’s deposition), 
Plaintiff will move to compel not only their production, but also re‐convening of Mr. Bryan’s deposition yet again. 
Plaintiff will also consider moving to compel reconvening of Dr. Kolb’s deposition. 
 
Plaintiff also reminds Defendants that they must supplement all prior document production in conformity with the 
Stipulation & Order re Privacy. It is apparent that Defendants are laboring under an incorrect conception of the nature 
and boundaries of the privacy order which the Court had issued. 
 
Please let me know your response to the foregoing at your earliest convenience as the cutoff date for non‐dispositive 
motions fast approaches. 
 
Sincerely,

Gene Lee

Mark,

Please see below re pathology-related documents. As we discussed during the depos, Plaintiff will be pre-
emptively filing a motion to compel tomorrow but will withdraw the motion once the below documents requests
are resolved.

FNA REPORTS

We need additional computer records in the HBO system that demonstrate the log of changes by date and time
made to the FNA reports sent to UCLA. The reports that we have don’t contain all of the documentation.

REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 65

Any and all DOCUMENTS RELATING TO case send-out logs for Kern Medical

Center’s Pathology Department from January 1, 1999 to the present, including but not limited to

corresponding Kern Medical Center pathology reports and reports from outside consultants.

This should be about 800 or more cases, probably 5 boxes full. These are located in files in the pathology office,
and some in pathology storage.
These are logs of cases that were sent out to outside facilities, both slides and KMC reports. Most will have a
report from the outside facility when the slides were returned to KMC after review.

RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 65

Defendants object to this request to the extent it requests documents that contain

confidential personnel information or information that is protected from disclosure by state or

federal law, including HIPAA and the peer review privilege, or documents that are subject to the

We have not received any semi-annual pathology department notes before or after those written by Jadwin.

The TAT reports should be printed by pathologist for monthly (or


quarterly) periods using the HBO reporting system. Kathy Griffith knows how to generate these reports.
Reports should be generated for:
Freedman, Ang, Lang, Liu, Jadwin, Dutt, Shertudke, and the new pathologist.

Reports can be generated for Surgical Cases (S99- through S08-), Fine Needle Aspiration (F01- through F08-),
Non-Gynecologic Cytology (N01- through N08-) and Bone Marrows (B01- through B08-).

Gene,

The IT guy at KMC says he cannot sort the database to print what you want in less than 4 days. I realize Dr. Jadwin
thinks the IT guy is wrong but that is what I am told. So, no, I cannot produce additional documents by Thursday.

With regard to the pathology turn-around reports, we have consulted with James Pusavat, the interim laboratory
manager, and Eric Santerre, the clinical laboratory supervisor. They both state that the STAR software is not
able to print monthly turnaround reports by pathologist. Eric has verified that no such report exists in the SQL
database. To run the reports Dr. Jadwin has requested would require that Eric (or an outside programmer at ~
$200/hour) write a special SQL report and then program the system with the requisite codes. The reports would
then have to be downloaded into a PC and placed into a readable format - such as Excel.
James and Eric estimate it would take between two to five days, depending on competing workload, to write the
SQL report and program STAR. It would take another 4 to 5 days to print and collate the reports. Nothing in
the FRCP requires the County to create documents that do not exist and cannot be readily generated by existing
software.
If Dr. Jadwin wants to discuss paying for it, that is a different issue.
I will get you an estimate of the cost, if you want.

With regard to the “due process” subjects in the PMK (items 15, 16 and 17), there is no witness who can testify
on these topics. The topics are somewhat artificial and, although I understand you do not intend for them to be
“contention” requests, they are. Existing discovery has established what happened pretty clearly. Dr. Jadwin
did not appear before the JCC at the time it considered removing him as chair. He did not request the
opportunity to appear. He did not communicate with anyone at the County after the JCC meeting about the
vote. He maintained the silence and absence that had characterized the previous several months. Dr. Jadwin
was not consulted before he was placed on administrative leave. The only discussions regarding the non-
renewal of his contract were between you and me and arose in the context of an unsuccessful settlement effort
to buy out his contract. I understand what Mr. Watson said at his deposition but you will find that there were no
discussions of that subject other than the ones you and I had. The “decision” to not renew the contract was no
more than a consequence of not being able to settle the dispute. As to whether the County believes Dr. Jadwin
had a protected constitutional interest in the salary he lost, that is a legal issue.

I am willing to draft some undisputed facts about the issue but cannot complete that tonight. However, for
purposes of the PMK, there is no witness.

With regard to the terms of Dr. Jadwin’s employment contract, base compensation and professional fees, if
the witnesses you depose next Tuesday do not satisfactorily respond to those subjects, we will offer
supplemental witnesses after I return from vacation.

Mark,

As we discussed, please let me know what the status is re:

1) Pathology dept-related documents (Plaintiff’s requests for


production, set one, nos. 65-78)

2) PMK reps who will address items 15-17 of Plaintiff’s PMK depo
notice (due process-related items). Just to remind you, Plaintiff is seeking PMKs who can address: a) the terms
of Plaintiff’s employment contract dated 2002 regarding base comp and professional fees, b) KMC’s practice of
renewing or not renewing physician contracts, c) the procedure which Kern gave to Plaintiff in connection with
removal, administrative leave and non-renewal

We will not be able to depose PMK (Dutt) on items 28 or 29 (monthly turnaround times for pathology,
plaintiff’s work performance) on next Tuesday unless we are in receipt of the documents cited in paragraph 1)
above.

Please contact me anytime (including this weekend) if you want to discuss the above.
