Deposition of Allen H. Feige Subpoena Duces Tecum. Attached hereto as Exhibit "B" is a true

and correct copy of the Plaintiffs' Notice of Intent to take the Deposition of Allen H Feige

Subpoena Duces Tecum and letter of Plaintiff's Counsel.

3. Defendants' objected to the requests made of its expert witness. Attached hereto

as Exhibit "C" is the Defendant's Objections to Plaintiff's Notice of Intent to take the Deposition

of Allen H Feige Subpoena Duces Tecum.

4. The requests in the Subpoena Duces Tecums included in the deposition notices

are in excess of what is discoverable of expert witnesses, and overbroad, burdensome and

harassing; the documents sought can be obtained from other sources that are more convenient,

less burdensome and less expensive; outside the scope of permissible discovery; seeks

documents that are not relevant or likely to lead to admissible evidence; invades confidential

matters; invades rights protected by U.S. and Texas Constitutions; is duplicative of the

documents requested to be produced in Response to Request for Disclosure, fail to provide the

proper time for a response, the requests are no more than a fishing expedition and constitute

harassment prohibited by the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, fail to comply with the Texas

Finance Code and fail to show a need for tax returns and/or lack of other means to obtain the

information sought in the tax return.

5. The Court has broad discretion to protect a party with a protective order. In re

American Optical Corp. 998 SW 2d 711,713 (Tex. 1998) (fishing expedition), Hoffman vs. 5th

District Court of Appeals, 756 SW 2d 723,723 (Tex.1988) (invasion of protected rights), In re

Allstate County Mutual Insurance Company 227 SW 3d 667,669-670 (Tex.2007) (limitation of

scope), Texaco Inc. vs. Sanderson 898 SW 2d 813,815 (Tex.1995)(overbroad requests) a party

may ask the Court to grant a protective order to prevent a fishing expedition, harassing discovery

requests, overbroad discovery requests and invasions into protected rights.
