(\"Saraca\"), by and through its undersigned counsel, hereby submits these Responses and Objections to the Subpoena for Rule 2004 Examination (the \"Subpoena\") served by Chapter 11 Trustee Luc Despins (\"Trustee\"), dated August 19, 2022 (the \"Requests,\" or, individually, a \"Request\").\n\n#### **GENERAL OBJECTIONS**\n\nSaraca makes the following general objections to the Requests and each and every Definition and Instruction set forth therein. These general objections and the objections to the Trustee's definitions and instructions set forth below (collectively with these general objections, the \"General Objections\") are incorporated into each of the specific objections and responses to the Requests set forth below (the \"Specific Objections\"), as if fully set forth therein. Nothing in these responses should be construed as a waiver of any of these General Objections.\n\n1. Saraca objects to the Requests to the extent they seek discovery of information that is not material to the acts, conduct, or property of Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Debtor\"); the liabilities and\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 1805-29 Filed 05/18/23 Entered 05/18/23 23:05:44 Page 3 of 19\n\nfinancial condition of the Debtor; or any matter which may affect the administration of the Debtor's estate or the Debtor's right to a discharge.\n\n2. Saraca objects to the Requests to the extent they seek discovery of information that is not proportional to the needs of the case.\n\n3. Saraca objects to the Requests to the extent they are vague, ambiguous, overbroad, or cumulative.\n\n4. Saraca objects to the Requests to the extent they seek information outside of Saraca's possession, custody, or control.\n\n5. Saraca objects to the Requests to the extent they seek information already in the Trustee's possession, available in the public domain, or otherwise equally available to the Trustee.\n\n6. Saraca objects to the Requests to the extent they are duplicative or cumulative.\n\n7. Saraca objects to the Requests to the extent they call for the disclosure of information that is privileged or exempt from discovery under any privilege or exemption under applicable law. Saraca does not waive, and intends to preserve, any applicable privilege or protection. Nothing in these responses—including the inadvertent production of privileged material—is intended as, or shall in any way be deemed, a waiver of any attorney-client privilege, work-product protection, or other applicable privilege, immunity, protection, or exception.\n\n8. Saraca objects to the Requests to the extent they call for the disclosure of information that would violate any law, rule, or regulation, and to the extent they call for the disclosure of information that is protected from disclosure under any applicable privacy, data protection, or other law or regulation.\n\n9. Saraca objects to the Requests, including any of the Trustee's Instructions or Definitions therein, to the extent they purport to impose on Saraca burdens and obligations that are\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 1805-29 Filed 05/18/23 Entered 05/18/23 23:05:44 Page 4 of 19\n\nnot contemplated under or are contrary to the Bankruptcy Rules, Federal Rules, Local Rules of the District of Connecticut (\"Local Rules\"), or any other applicable law, rule, or court order. In responding to these Requests, Saraca will comply with the foregoing authorities.\n\n10. Saraca will respond to each Request based on the information currently available to it. Saraca's responses are at all times subject to supplementation and revision in light of future investigation and analysis, and Saraca reserves the right to supplement, amend, alter, correct, clarify, supplement, or revise its responses and objections as may be necessary or appropriate.\n\n11. The Responses and Objections provided herein shall not be construed as including any representations regarding the existence or non-existence of specific documents in Saraca's possession, custody, or control.\n\n12. The objection to, failure to object to, or statement that Saraca will search for or produce documents responsive to a Request, does not constitute a representation by Saraca that any such documents exist or are in Saraca's possession, custody or control.\n\n13. Saraca objects to all Requests, or portions thereof, to the extent they imply the existence of facts or circumstances that do not or did not exist, and to the extent they state or assume factual or legal conclusions. In responding, Saraca does not admit the factual or legal premise of any Request.\n\n14. To the extent a particular Request calls for the production of documents that contain information of which only a part is responsive or discoverable, Saraca objects and reserves the right not to produce documents in response to such Request except on a redacted basis.\n\n15. Saraca objects to the Requests to the extent they purport to require more than a reasonable and diligent search for information from reasonably accessible sources from which responsive information reasonably may be expected to be found.\n\n16. Saraca objects to all Requests or parts thereof to the extent they seek production of a \"communication\" that is not embodied within a \"document.\"\n\n17. Saraca objects to the Requests to the extent they call for the production of documents prior to the entry of a protective/confidentiality order in this case (\"Protective Order\"). Saraca will not produce documents in response to the Requests prior to the entry of an appropriate Protective Order.\n\n#### **OBJECTIONS TO INSTRUCTIONS AND DEFINITIONS**\n\n18. Saraca objects to Instruction No. 2 to the extent that it seeks information or data that is incompatible with how Saraca records, stores, and transmits information in the ordinary course of business. Saraca will make a reasonable and good faith effort to provide electronically stored information in the formats requested.\n\n19. Saraca objects to Instruction Nos. 5-7, which purport to require Saraca to undertake actions with respect to documents that are not within its possession, custody, or control.\n\n20. Saraca objects to Instruction No. 8, which purports to impose a more onerous burden for asserting a claim of privilege than is required by the Bankruptcy Rules, Federal Rules, Local Rules, or any applicable law, rule, or court order. To the extent a privilege log is necessary, Saraca will comply with its obligations under the Bankruptcy Rules, Federal Rules, Local Rules, or any applicable law, rule, or court order.\n\n21. Saraca objects to Instruction No. 12 on the grounds that it is vague, ambiguous, and overbroad.\n\n22. Saraca objects to Instruction No. 14 on the grounds that \"the date responses to the Document Requests are due\" is unduly burdensome and unworkable in light of the nature of rolling productions. Instead, Saraca will interpret the date range of the Subpoena to terminate on August\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 1805-29 Filed 05/18/23 Entered 05/18/23 23:05:44 Page 6 of 19\n\n19, 2022, the date the Subpoena was issued. Saraca further objects to February 5, 2012 as the starting point of the Subpoena's date range as overly broad, unduly burdensome, not proportional to the needs of the case, and not calculated to lead to the discovery of relevant evidence. Saraca's counsel is willing to meet and confer with the Trustee's counsel to discuss appropriate time periods for the Requests, but proposes the date of Saraca's incorporation—May 31, 2018—as the starting point of the date range.\n\n23. Saraca objects to Definition No. 1 on the grounds that it is vague, ambiguous, overbroad, and unduly burdensome. Saraca will interpret \"You,\" \"Your,\" and \"Yourself\" as encompassing Saraca and its directors, officers, employees, and agents.\n\n24. Saraca objects to Definition Nos. 2-5 on the grounds that they are vague, ambiguous, overbroad, and unduly burdensome. Saraca will interpret \"Debtor\" to mean Ho Wan Kwok (and his aliases), \"Debtor's Son\" to mean Qiang Guo (and his aliases), \"Debtor's Daughter\" to mean Mei Guo (and her aliases), and \"Debtor's Purported Wife\" to mean Hing Chi Ngok (and her aliases).\n\n25. Saraca objects to Definition Nos. 7-8, to the extent they imply the existence of facts or circumstances that do not or did not exist, and to the extent they state or assume factual or legal conclusions. In responding, Saraca does not admit that the \"Associated Individuals\" in Definition No. 7, and that the \"Associated Entities\" in Definition No. 8, are in fact associated with the Debtor, or that the Debtor in fact has any ownership, control, hold, custody, discretion, or other interest in them.\n\n### **SPECIFIC RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS TO DOCUMENT REQUESTS**\n\n#### **Request No. 1:**\n\n*All Documents regarding any income or Asset of the Debtor, the Debtor's estate, or an Associated Entity.*\n\n#### **Response to Request No. 1:**\n\nSaraca incorporates its General Objections as though fully set forth herein.
