In addition to not producing the documents requested by
respondent, petitioners also failed to answer respondent’s
interrogatories. On September 3, 1998, respondent filed a Motion
to Compel Responses to Respondent’s Interrogatories. On
September 8, 1998, the Court ordered petitioners to respond to
the interrogatories by September 25, 1998, and further ordered
respondent to file a status report as to petitioners’ response by
September 29, 1998. On September 21, 1998, petitioners provided
their answers to respondent’s interrogatories. After receiving

that petitioners would not be allowed to offer into evidence
answers to such interrogatories.
