interrogatories and would not be providing respondent’s
counsel with any of the requested documents. Finally,
attorney Sluyter stated that she would be filing a
protective order with this Court regarding respondent’s
counsel’s discovery requests.
Respondent asked that petitioners be ordered to produce documents
pursuant to 100 separately numbered requests in Respondent’s
First Request for Production of Documents (the document request)
and answer 59 separately numbered interrogatories propounded in
Respondent’s First Set of Interrogatories (the interrogatories).
Respondent asked for sanctions if petitioners failed to comply
with any such order.
By order dated April 25, 2000 (the April 25 order), the
Court ordered petitioners, on or before May 8, 2000, to produce
the documents asked for in the document request and answer the
interrogatories. The Court set the sanctions portion of the
motions to compel for hearing at the trial session.
On May 26, 2000, the Court filed as a status report
Respondent’s Supplements to Respondent’s Motions To Compel
Production of Documents and To Compel Responses to
Interrogatories (the status report). Attached to the status
report are copies of petitioners’ responses to the document
request and interrogatories (petitioners’ responses). In
response to the document request, petitioners provided two
documents: “Declaration of Trust of the NIS Venture Trust” and a
purported trust indenture relating to “The Nis Family Trust”. In
