None. The opposing counsel doesn't have to be nice to you. What are you trying to accomplish?
If the hostility arises to the level of harassment then I guess you can request a restraining order.

A substitution of attorney? Remember that you have to respond to interrogatories and document requests within 30 (+5 for mailing) days of their mailing. If you wait any longer, you run the risk of court monetary sanctions and possibly legally admitting things that you shouldn't be admitting. Good luck!
Re: Ca. Superior court document
None. The whole process is 'hostile', that's why it's called litigation. He's not there to help you or be nice to you. He's there to kick your butt out of court, however he can. That includes threatening you with sanctions if you don't properly comply with discovery. The old cliche applies: 'if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen'. Hire an attorney to handle the case if it actually has merit and value, then follow his advice and instructions.
