Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Massachusetts
How do I answere Plaintiff's Irrelevant Requests for Admissions
In the Plaintiff's 3rd Request for Admissions, he refers to his attached Exhibits and requests that I verify account values, etc for accounts, on these Exhibits.
The strange thing is that these Exhibits are statements of his (The Plaintiff's) investment accounts. I never have had possession or have seen these accounts before.
Is this an accepted practice? What is the best way to answer? It is an obvious attempt of his to create an enormous workload for me. He filed this lawsuit in November 2005 and keeps bombarding me with motions and requests for admissions, production of docs, motions to compel and interrogatories.
This lawsuit has stemmed from his vengence as the Plaintiff is trying to cause me financial damage and stress.

Retain an attorney to file a motion for a Protective Order. Good Luck!
Re: How do I answere Plaintiff's Irrelevant Requests for Admissions
There are a couple of ways to handle this. You could file a response to each one objecting to the request for admission as improper if you reasonably believe the request is improper; you could respond to each one by saying something like "defendant is without sufficient information to admit or deny" (assuming that is true); or you could go to court and ask the judge for a protective order that the discovery is imroper and you need not respond. Using either of the first two options would then force the plaintiff to go to court and explain to the judge why he's entitled to answers. You should consider hiring an attorney which would get the plaintiff off your back and who could put a stop to the plaintiff's shenanigans.
