Discovery Response Enhancement Tips
Summary
Ensure discovery responses are clear and complete by referencing previous interrogatories and providing specific details. In Maryland, a states attorney may need judicial approval to prosecute perjury. For interrogatories, list individuals with relevant information and provide concise statements of their knowledge. If defendants have relevant information, include them in your response. Avoid speculation in responses and focus on verifiable facts.Full Conversation
Items are already listed in Interrogatory *, so that's not a problem. I will ask Client about the rest of the questions you raised.
Your response for Interrogatory * seems concise. However, if the items are already listed in Interrogatory *, you might want to reference that directly in your response to avoid any ambiguity. For example:
"Plaintiff believes that, after multiple requests for return of items, all items listed in Interrogatory * were returned by July *, *."
This ensures clarity and completeness. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask!

HERE IS PART OF IT: See text messages between Mary Lawrence and myself. During the spring of *, she fretted about imminent dismissal in the text messages and when I offered her the position of office manager, she decided to stay at Pax Dental–reason: “for her future!” Employees of Pax Dental had been telling my patients that I had retired or that they did not know where I was. Those two statements, that I had retired and they did not know my whereabouts, were lies. Retirement was never on the table and they knew exactly where I was and where my practice was. See the text exchange between patient, Kim Blodnikar and myself, where Pax employee, Sharon Hart, a former employee of mine, told her that I had retired. Her husband is my IT professional and had been involved in the transport of the materiel back and forth and I saw her at Chipotle in early May, * and she told me at that point that she had retired from Pax Dental.

Response:
During the spring of *, Mary Lawrence expressed concerns about her job security through text messages. To retain her, I offered her the position of office manager at Pax Dental, which she accepted for her future prospects. However, employees at Pax Dental falsely informed patients that I had retired and they did not know my whereabouts. This misinformation was untrue as retirement was never planned, and they knew my exact location and practice situation. Text exchanges with patient Kim Blodnikar reveal that Sharon Hart, a Pax employee and former staff member, wrongly stated that I had retired. Sharon's husband, my IT professional, was involved in material transport, and I confirmed her retirement from Pax Dental in early May *.
