Connors, Attorney General of Hawaii, Caron M. Inagaki and John M. Cregor, Jr., Deputy Attomeys General, hereby respond to Plaintiff's First Set of Requests for Interrogatories to Defendants, dated September 27, 2018. GENERAL RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS 1. The Defendants object to all the interrogatories in the Interrogatories to Defendants to the extent that they ask for the disclosure of privileged communications, information that is protected work product, and information concerning documents and tangible things prepared in anticipation of litigation or trial. 2. The Defendants object to each request to the extent that it is unreasonably burdensome, oppressive or vexatious, in that the information so acquired would be of little or no relevance to the issues in this case, and/or would place an unreasonable and oppressive burden on the Defendants in expenditure of time, costs, and money. 75113013. The Defendants object to those interrogatories that are so broad, uncertain, and unintelligible that the Defendants cannot determine the nature of the response sought, and the Defendants therefore are unable to respond. 4. The Defendants do not concede that any of their responses will be admis ible evidence at trial. Further, the Defendants do not waive any objections, whether or not stated herein, to use such answers at trial. 5. The Defendants state that discovery, investigation, and trial preparation are ongoing and have not been completed. Any and all answers to the First Set of Requests for Interrogatories to Defendants, dated September 27, 2018 are based only on information available to the Defendants at the time that their responses and objections were prepared. 6. All specific responses and objections are made without waiving any of the general responses and objections. 7. Without waiving any of the foregoing objections, which the Defendants incorporate by reference in response and/or objection to each of the following individual requests as if fully set forth therein, the Defendants further respond and object to the individual requests herein.
