If you're the defendant, just ask. You can ask informally (make a phone call to the plaintiff or his lawyer) or you could submit a discovery request asking the question (assuming it's relevant to the lawsuit).

Chances are it is not relevant to the lawsuit, and therefore you will not have a right to that information in discovery.

The other attorneys are right on point here. Unless it is relevant to the lawsuit, you won't get in via discovery. Consult with an attorney in your area for specifics.
