COSIO'S MOTION TO COMPEL FURTHER RESPONSES
TO HER REQUESTS FOR ADMISSIONS AND FORM INTERROGATORIES
2 Plaintiff Angelica Cosio ("Cosio") hereby submits her memorandum of points and
3 authorities in support of her Motion for an order compelling further responses by Defendant Lion
4 Management Group, Inc. ("Lion") to Cosio's Requests for Admissions Nos. ("RFAs") Nos. 8 to
5 13 and 41, and the corresponding Fonn Interrogatory No. 17.1, under Code of Civil Procedure
6 sections 2030.300 and 2033.290.
7 I. The Parties' Meet and Confer Process Prior to the Motion

8 On July 19, 2016, Cosio served her first set of discovery on Lion, including RF As Nos. 8
9 to 13 and 41, and the corresponding Fonn Interrogatory No. 17.1. (Preston Decl. ~3.) On August
10 22, 2016, Lion served responses composed entirely of objections ("August Responses").
11 On November 11,2016, Lion served supplemental responses ("November Responses").
12 On November 21,2016, Cosio sent Lion a draft "one shot" brief explaining the various defects in
13 the supplemental responses, consistent with the Court's "User's Manual for Department 304"
14 and the parties' discovery plan (Id. ~8. See also Department 304 of the Superior Court for San
15 Francisco County, User's Manual for Department 304 (Sept. 2016), p. 3
16 <http://www.sfsuperiorcourt. org/sitesldefault/files/pdfs/Department%203 04 %20U ser%20
17 Manual.pdf>.)
18 On December 15, 2016, after some additional meeting and conferring, Defendants served
19 amended responses ("December Responses") which are at issue in this motion. (Preston Decl.
20 ~10.) The December Responses incorporated the objections from the August Responses, the
21 defective answers from the November Responses, and additional answers which eliminated some
22 disputes but made others worse. (Ibid.) On January 20,2017, Cosio sent Lion her second draft
23 "one shot" brief, which explained that the amended responses were still evasive and incomplete.
2 So far, Lion has refused to provide a counterdraft to Cosio's draft one shot brief. (Id. ~13.)
25 Cosio's other efforts to meet and confer with Lion have also been unsuccessful and
26 unproductive. (Id. ~~14-21.) It appears the parties may have an infonnal conference with the
27 Court after Cosio files this Motion. (Id. ~21.) Cosio's past experience is that Defendants are
28 much more productive in the meet and confer process while there is a motion to compel pending.
Memorandum for Motion to Compel Further Response No. CGC-16-551337
If Lion voluntarily serves discovery responses that are complete, responsive, and non-evasive
2 before the hearing date on this Motion, Cosio will take the Motion off calendar.
3 II. Lion's December Responses Regarding Its Marketing Materials Are Evasive
4 Cosio's discovery is really very simple, although Lion's various Responses and its
5 involvement in the meet and confer process has complicated the Motion. Cosio received
6 marketing materials (attached as pages 14 to 26 of the appendix attached to the Complaint and
7 the RF As) at her child's audition on July 13, 2013 (hereinafter, "Marketing Materials"). (See
8 (Ex. 1 to Preston Decl. at pp. 26-38 ("Ex. 1,,).)1 RFAs Nos. 8 to 13 ask Lion to admit that its
9 marketing included various representations found in these Marketing Materials throughout the
10 class period. RF A No. 41 asks Lion to admit that it provided its customers documents containing
11 the same terms and representations as the Marketing Materials. Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 asks
12 Lion to identify specific factual situations where Lion's marketing did not include the
13 representations found in Cosio's Marketing Materials, or it did not provide its customers
14 documents like the Marketing Materials. Lion has misconstrued this discovery, and provided
15 evasive and incomplete Responses.
16 A. Lion's December Responses to RFAs Nos. 8 to 13 Are Evasive

17 RF As Nos. 8 to 13 ask Lion to admit that its marketing during the class period
18 continuously included specific representations which Cosio found in the Marketing Material:
19 RFA No.8: "Since at least April 6,2012, IPAS has represented that IPAS's
showcase was the best opportunity to start a career in the modeling or talent
20 industry. "
21 RFA No.9: "Since at least April 6, 2012, IPAS has represented that IPAS
customers are placed in an elite group that auditioned successfully for fashion
22 modeling, commercial modeling, TV commercials, television/film acting, singing
and dancing."
23
RF A No.1 0: "Since at least April 6, 2012, IPAS has represented that IPAS
24 customers wi11 be showcased before the top modeling and talent agents,
managers, casting directors/producers, and film directors/producers."
25
26 1 Exhibit 1 to the Preston Declaration is a paginated copy of the entire set of RF As to Lion. The
appendix in the RFAs (and a portion of Exhibit 1) is marked as "Plaintiffs Appendix" and
27 are also paginated on the right-hand side. (Preston Decl. ~3.) Cosio has also paginated the
entire Exhibit 1 to facilitate the Court's review. The pagination on the left-hand side of
28 Exhibit I (marked "Exhibit I") refers to specific pages throughout the entire Exhibit. (Id. ~4.)
In short, "pages 14 to 26 of the appendix" translates to pages 26 to 38 of Exhibit 1.
RF A No. 11: "Since at least April 6, 2012, IPAS has represented that IPAS
customers will read for casting directors, producers and directors who are
2 currently working in the industry."
3 RFA No. 12: "Since at least April 6, 2012, IPAS has represented that IPAS
customers will meet, try-out for and interview with scores of modeling and talent
4 agents and managers."
5 RFA No. 13: "Since at least April 6, 2012, IPAS offered IPAS customers
enrollment in Official Showcases/Auditions."
6
(Ex. 1 at pp. 3-4. Cf. Ex. 1 at pp. 28, 29, 32, 36 [corresponding Marketing Material]. As Cosio
7
explained in the meet and confer process, the phrase "since at least April 6, 2012" makes it clear
8
that these RFAs cover all IPAS's marketing continuously throughout the class period.
9
Lion's December Responses misconstrue RF As Nos. 8 and 13, stating in relevant part:
10
"Based on meet and confer with Plaintiff in which she states that this request is intended to ask
11
whether Lion has ever" made the corresponding representation in RFAs Nos. 8 to 13. (Ex. 4 to
12
Preston DecL at pp. 11:15-16; 13:5-6; 14:22-23; 16:11-12; 17:16-17; 19:2-3 ("Ex. 4").) But
13
Cosio's January 20 draft one shot brief explicitly told Lion that it had misconstrued these RFAs:
14
The Responses gravely mischaracterize Cosio's position in the meet and
15 confer. In the meet and confer process, Cosio specifically clarified that she
drafted [these] RFA[s] to cover all of IPAS's marketing communications
16 since April 6, 2012. [These RFAs] asks whether Lion's marketing materials
continuously contained the representation at issue, not whether Lion ever used a
17 particular brochure on specific and/or isolated instances.
18 (Ex. 6 to Preston Decl. at p. 7:15-19 ("Ex. 6").) Lion's misconstruction ofRFAs Nos. 8 to 13
19 renders them pointless-it is not meaningful to class certification if Lion made these
20 representations just once.
21 It is hard to escape the impression Lion has willfully misconstrued RF As Nos. 8 to
22 particularly where Cosio specifically explained the problem with these Responses in her January
23 20 one shot brief~ and Lion has declined to amend the Responses. (Preston Decl. ~~13-20.)
24 Where Lion's responses do "not fairly meet the substance of the requested admissions or were
25 not phrased in good faith," sanctions are warranted to remedy "the resulting extended litigation
26 to prove these unfounded denials or partial denials." (Hillman v. Stults (1968) 263 CaLApp.2d
27 848,888.) This conduct reflects bad faith. (Cf. Reedy v. Bussell (2007) 148 CaLApp.4th 1272,
28 1281 [sanctions appropriate where litigant did not make "any effort to fairly interpret" discovery

requests] (Reedy); Deyo v. Kilbourne (1978) 84 Cal.App.3d 771,783 ["party may not provide
2 deftly worded conclusionary answers designed to evade a series of explicit questions .... party
3 may not deliberately misconstrue a question for the purpose of supplying an evasive answer"]
4 (Deyo)/
5 Lion's December Response to Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 lacks any information about
6 instances when Lion's marketing was different from the representations cited in RFA Nos. 8 to
7 13, presumably because the December Responses admitted Lion's improperly misconstrued
8 versions ofRFAs Nos. 8 to 13. Hence, Lion's misconstruing RFAs Nos. 8 to 13 deprives Cosio
9 of either (1) admissions to RFAs Nos. 8 to 13 that Lion's marketing was materially consistent
10 with the Marketing Materials throughout the class period; or (2) identification of specific
11 instances when Lion's marketing deviated from the Marketing Materials that Cosio received.
12 B. Lion's December Response to RFAs No. 41 Is Evasive

13 Cosio's RFA's No. 41 asks Lion to admit that it gave all its customers the Marketing
14 Materials:
15 Since at least April 6, 2012, IP AS gave all its customers documents containing the
same terms and representations as the documents labeled as pages 14 to 26 of the
16 attached appendix (excluding any hand-written notes and differences in IP AS
employee names and showcase dates).
17
(Ex. 1 at p. 9:2-5.) Lion's November Responses to RFA No. 41 were evasive and
18
nonresponsive-Lion only admitted that "some customers were signed up using Lion's form of
19
agreement and some using IP AA' s form of agreement, which have variations," and denied the
20
21
Discovery requests should not be "read hypertechnically; rather, a party should attempt to
22 comply with discovery demands in good faith." Werbungs Und Commerz Union Austalt v.
Collectors Guild, Ltd., 728 F. Supp. 975, 982 (S.D.N.Y.1989), rev'd in part on other
23 grounds, 930 F.2d 1020 (2d Cir.1991) ) (attempt to avoid discovery by hypertechnical
construction "smacks of the type of gamesmanship that the Federal Rules were designed to
24 avoid"). Evasive misconstruction of discovery requests was not consistent with "good faith
duty to comply with discovery requests[,] smack[ ed] of gamesmanship[,] and is contrary to
25 the purposes of modem discovery provisions to promote the fair and efficient resolution of
disputes." Saltzman v. Fullerton Metals Co., 661 F.2d 647,651 n.4 (7th Cir. 1981). See also
26 Independent Living Ctr. ors. Cal. v. City ofLos Angeles, 296 F.R.D. 632, 635 (C.D. Cal.
2013) (granting motion to compel where defendants "deliberately misconstrue[ ed] plaintiffs'
27 discovery requests"); Hunter v. Int'l Sys. & Controls Corp., 56 F.R.D. 617, 624
(W.D.Mo.1972) ("deliberate misconstruction of [discovery] constitute[ d] a failure to make
28 discovery without substantial justification and [would] be considered ... as a basis for
possible sanctions").
rest. (Ex. 4 at p. 44: 18-22.) Of course, RFA No. 41 concerns the Marketing Materials-not
2 Lion's contracts. So Lion's November Responses facially misconstrued RFA No. 41.
3 Lion's December Response bluntly denies RFA No. 41. The December Response to
4 Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 (discussed below) makes it clear that Lion gave copies of the
5 Marketing Materials to at least some of its customers. Hence, the December Response's blunt
6 denial violates the Civil Discovery Act, which requires Lion to make an affirmative admission to
7 the extent it provided its customers documents with the same terms and representations in the
8 Marketing Material: "Each answer shall ... Admit so much of the matter involved in the request
9 as is true, either as expressed in the request itself or as reasonably and clearly qualified by the
10 responding party." (Code Civ. Proc. 2033.220 subd. (b).)
11 c. Lion's December Response to RFAs No. 41 Is Evasive

12 Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 in effect asks Lion to explain and substantiate its denials to
13 RFAs Nos. 8 to 13 and 41. Cosio's Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 asked:
14 Is your response to each request for admission served these interrogatories an

unqualified admission? If not, for each response that is not an unqualified
15 admission:
(a) state the number of the request;
16 (b) state all facts upon which you base your response;
(c) state the names, ADDRESSES, and telephone numbers of all PERSONS
17 who have knowledge of those facts; and
(d) identify all DOCUMENTS and other tangible things that support your
18 response and state the name, ADDRESS, and telephone number of the
PERSON who has each DOCUMENT or thing.
19
(Ex. 2 to Preston Decl. at p. 7.) Lion's answers to Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 begin with a
20
lengthy preamble on, e.g., Lion's business history which is irrelevant to any of the specific RF As
21
at issue here. (Ex. 5 to Preston Decl. at pp. 3:26-6:20 ("Ex. 5").)
22
1. Lion's December Response to Form Interrogatory No. 41 as to RFAs
23 Nos. 8 to 13 Is Still Incomplete and Evasive
24 The December Response to Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 also incorporates Lion's
25 November Response which contains several paragraphs of irrelevant statements purportedly in
26 response to RFAs Nos. 8 to 13. (Ex. 5 at pp. 6:21-7:25.) Other than incorporating the November
27 Response, however, the December Responses does not address RF As Nos. 8 to presumably
28 because the Lion admitted its improperly misconstrued versions of Cosio's RFAs Nos. 8 to 13.

Hence, Lion's December Responses to RF As Nos. 8 to 13 deprive Cosio of a complete and
2 accurate answer to Form Interrogatory No. 17.1.
3 2. Lion's November Response to Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 as to RFA

No. 41 Fails to Identify Relevant Facts and Witnesses
4
Again, the December Response to Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 incorporates the
5
November Response. Hence, this motion discusses the portions of the November Response
6
which are still relevant and disputed. The November Response makes a generalized, boilerplate
7
denial ofRFA No. 41:
8
Defendant denies that it made uniform representations to the putative class, or that
9 all members of the putative class were told the same thing or were exposed to the
same statements .... Each student may be subject to additional and different
10 disclosures and disclaimers about Defendants' services depending on each
student's individual circumstances and his or her (and their children's) questions
11 asked, and answers given.
12 (Ex. 5 at p. 8:10-18.) But the November Response to Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 is woefully
13 incomplete. It plainly does not state "all facts" supporting Lion's denial of RF A No. 41. In
14 particular, while students "may be subject to additional and different disclosures and
15 disclaimers," Lion utterly fails to identify what different disclosures apply to what
16 "circumstances." (Ibid.)
17 Further, it is clear that "Larry Lionetti and Lena Q. Lionetti" cannot be the only persons
18 with "knowledge of those facts" relating to the commonality of Lion's marketing. (Cf. Ex. 5 at p.
19 8:20-21.) This answer patently contradicts other portions of Lion's answer to Form Interrogatory
20 No. 17.1:
21 Brandy Calderon, who "scouted" Cosio denies that she made any such promises
or offers to Cosio. Ms. Calderon did not tell Cosio ... that they could get a job in
22 the entertainment industry or an audition, agent or manager. When she told people
about the program, she would present it like any other activity such as
23 gymnastics.
24 (Id. at p. 7:9-12.) Lion cannot reconcile the statement above with the implicit assertion that only
25 the Lionettis have knowledge of the relevant facts. Likewise, the Lion employees who actually
26 conducted the tryouts (such as Karen Dewey) would clearly have knowledge of whether and
27 when marketing materials were or were not distributed to Lion's customers. Yet, Lion has not
28 identified any such employees.

Further, Lion's November Response states "Defendants' internal procedures prohibit any
2 employee from making any representation that the company will provide an audition for work in
3 the entertainment industry, or as a means to secure a talent agent or manager." (Id. at p. 7:18-21.)
4 If the Lionettis were the only people who knew about these alleged policies, it is fair to say they
5 were not policies at all.
6 Lion's tight-fisted approach to discovery here prejudices Cosio. Cosio should not have to
7 depend on the Lionettis' testimony alone to investigate Lion's denial "that it made uniform
8 representations to the putative class[.]" (Id. at p. 8:12-18.) Cosio is entitled to discovery of
9 witnesses with knowledge relevant to class certification and specifically the commonality of the
10 Marketing Materials. "Discovery may be obtained of the identity and location of persons having
11 knowledge of any discoverable matter ... " (Code Civ. Proc., 2017.010.)
12 Central to the discovery process is the identification of potential witnesses. "The

disclosure of the names and addresses of potential witnesses is a routine and
13 essential part of pretrial discovery." (People v. Dixon (2007) 148 Cal.App.4th
414,443,56 Cal.Rptr.3d 33 [applying Civil Discovery Act in context of sexually
14 violent predator proceeding].) Indeed, our discovery system is founded on the
understanding that parties use discovery to obtain names and contact information
15 for possible witnesses as the starting point for further investigations ... The
party's ability to subpoena witnesses presumes that he has the witnesses' contact
16 information." (Dixon, at p. 443, 56 Cal.Rptr.3d 33.) One glance at the form
interrogatories approved by the Judicial Council, particularly the interrogatories in
17 the 12.0 series, demonstrates how fundamentally routine the discovery of witness
contact infonnation is.
18
(Puerto v. Superior Court (2008) 158 Cal. App. 4th 1242, 1249-50.) Lion has taken a scorched-
19
earth approach to discovery, and has evidently misconstrued even basic RF As in a manner that
20
renders them entirely useless for their obvious purpose-class certification. Under these
21
circumstances, Cosio is entitled and indeed needs complete answers to Form Interrogatory No.
22
17.1. Again, the Civil Discovery Act requires answers to an interrogatory to "be as complete and
23
straightforward as the information reasonably available to the responding party permits." (Code
24
Civ. Proc. 2030.220, subd. (a).)
25
3. Lion's December Response to Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 as to RFA
26 No. 41 Is Evasive and Incomplete Because It Refers to "Students"
Rather than "Customers," and Relies on Speculation Rather than
27 Providing Specific Facts Supporting Its Denial
28 The December Response to Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 is still evasive and incomplete.

It does not identify all persons who have knowledge of the facts supporting Lion's denial ofRFA
2 No. 41. Moreover, the December Response still does not fully or specifically identify the facts
3 supporting Lion's denial ofRFA No. 41 (i.e., that Lion's marketing contained the same terms
4 and representations in the Marketing Material):
5 Lion denies that since at least April 6, 2012, Defendants gave all its customer
documents containing the same terms and representations as the documents
6 labeled as pages 14 to 26 of the attached appendix (excluding any hand-written
notes and differences in IPAS employee names and showcase dates).
7
Appendix 14, "welcome letter" is given out only to students who show up for
8 headshots. Many Barbizon attendees do not go to the Headshot appointment and
thus never get an opportunity to receive Appendix 14. Also, some students enroll
9 directly into Showcase and therefore never get the "welcome letter." Moreover,
the "welcome letter" is varied depending on the identity of the Talent Scout who
10 will be hosting the tryout. Appendix 15-26 is available only to students who
show up for headshots and also stay for a Showcase try out. Many students leave
11 after headshots and thus do not have an opportunity to receive Appendix 15-26.
For those students that both attend headshots and stay for the showcase tryout,
12 they may get a copy of Appendix 15-26 at the tryout for Showcase, though there
is no established procedure to ensure that they do. Moreover, following the try-
13 outs, there are often a number of copies of Appendix 15-26 that have been left
behind by students so it is unclear which students ultimately receive a copy of
14 Appendix 15-26.
15 (Ex. 4 to Preston Decl. at pp. 8, 10-11 ("Ex. 4.").) As explained below, this Response is non-
16 responsive and evasive. Lion's counsel has provided a little clarification-but only in an
17 unsworn email from counsel. (Ex. 8 to Preston Decl. at pp. 5-6 ("Ex. 8").)
18 First, RFA No. 41 concerns Lion's "customers." Cosio purposefully drafted RFA No. 41
19 to limit its scope to people who ultimately paid Lion to attend the showcase-that is, class
20 members. 3 (See Preston Decl. ~~13-20.) In contrast, Lion insists on framing its answer in terms
21 of Barbiz on's students, rather than Lion's customers. 4 (Preston Decl. ~11 ["[w]e don't use the
22 term "customers" and I do not see why we have to adopt your convention of calling them that"].)
23
24 3 The language used in RFA No. 41 intentionally traces the class definition from Cosio's
complaint. (See Cosio's Fifth Am. Compl. ~34 [defining the class as "All natural persons
25 who are California citizens at the time Cosio's original complaint was filed (April 5, 2016)
who (a) paid IPAS so that the Class member, the Class member's child (or other beneficiary)
26 could attend a showcase operated by IP AS ... "J)
4 As explained in Cosio's complaint, Defendants also operated Barbizon-which referred at least
27 some of its students to IP AS/Lion-and Lion recruited at least some of its customers from
these Barbizon students. But Defendants charged Barbizon's students fees for attending
28 Barbizon classes which were separate and distinct from the fees charged for participating in
IPAS/Lion's "showcase."
By framing its response in tenns of "students" (who would not necessarily be Lion's paying
2 customers), Lion inserts an enonnous amount of uncertainty and potentially non-responsive
3 infonnation into the December Response. (See Ex. 8 at pp. 5-6. Cf. Preston Decl. ~16, Ex. 8 at
4 pp. 3-4.) Lion's insistence on framing its answer in tenns of students, rather than paying
5 customers, supposedly renders it incapable of answering Cosio's very straightforward question:
6 Your request that we "either expressly and unambiguously state that all persons
referenced in Lion response paid money not just to Barbizon but also to
7 IP AS/Lion" is inconsistent with the facts. Only those who chose to later enroll in
Showcase pay money to Lion.
8
(ld. at p. 6 [emphasis in original].) But Cosio explained that RFA No. 41 was limited to that set
9
of individuals who ultimately paid money to Lion, "whether the customers made their payment
10
to Lion before or after the try outs/headshot appointment." (ld. at pp. 3-4.) Cosio even told Lion
11
it could frame its answer in tenns of "showcase enrollees who paid IP AS" (as Lion used the
12
phrase "showcase enrollee" in its email and presumably understands what it means). (ld. at p. 3.)
13
RFA No. 41 avoided these logical gaps and uncertainty by restricting itself to Lion's
14
"customers": Lion's answer here is at least evasive and may reflect bad faith, particularly where
15
Cosio repeatedly explained to Lion that RF A No. 41 was limited to Lion's paying customers, not
16
Barbizon's students. (See Preston Decl. ~11; Ex. 6 at p. 3:20-4:18. See also Deyo, supra, 84
17
Cal.App.3d at p. 783 ["party may not deliberately misconstrue a question for the purpose of
18
supplying an evasive answer"]; Hillman v. Stults, supra, 263 Cal.App.2d at p. 888 [responses
19
that do "not fairly meet the substance of the requested admissions or were not phrased in good
20
faith" are sanctionable].)
21
Lion's references to "students," instead of "customers," creates another problematic
22
ambiguity. It is unclear from Lion's December Response whether some of its customers attended
23
showcases without attending Lion's tryouts (and therefore without receiving the Marketing
24
Materials). Lion's counsel asserts that "admittance in Showcase is after a try out, acceptance, and
25
execution of our contract," but then goes on to discuss "students who do not do the 'tryout' but
26
go right to showcase ... " (Ex. 8 at p. 6.) If there were Lion customers who were never students
27
(because they do not attend a "tryout"), then the December Response to Form Interrogatory No.
28

17.1 must be incomplete because it only discusses individuals who try out:
2 Verification of the answers [to discovery requests] is in effect a declaration that

the party has disclosed all information which is available to him. If only partial
3 answers can be supplied, the answers should reveal all information then available
to the party. If a person cannot furnish details, he should set forth the efforts made
4 to secure the information. He cannot plead ignorance to information which can be
obtained from sources under his control. ... Where the question is specific and
5 explicit, an answer which supplies only a portion of the information sought is
wholly insufficient.
6
(Deyo, supra, 84 Cal.App.3d at pp. 782, 783.) Cosio is owed a complete response to Form
7
Interrogatory No. 17.1 which conforms to the language Cosio actually used in RFA No. 41:
8
Lion's response needs to refer to "Lion's customers."
9
Second, the statement that "students [who] both attend headshots and stay for the
10
showcase tryout, they may get a copy of Appendix 15-26 at the try out for Showcase, though
11
there is no established procedure to ensure that they do" is evasive and incomplete (even setting
12
aside the reference to "students"). (Ex. 4 at p. 11 [italics added].) Lion appears to simply
13
speculate that some of its customers might not have received the same Marketing Materials that
14
Cosio did. This answer fails to provide any facts which support its denial of RF A No. 41 (beyond
15
the assertion that copies of the marketing are sometimes left behind). Form Interrogatory 17.1 (b)
16
specifically required Defendants to "state all facts upon which" they base their denial ofRFA
17
No. 41. The Civil Discovery Act required Lion's answer to Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 to "be
18
as complete and straightforward as the information reasonably available to the responding party
19
permits." (Code Civ. Proc. 2030.220, subd. (a).)
20
Further, it is unclear what Lion means when it says "there is no established procedure" to
21
ensure it gives Marketing Materials to its customers. It is unclear whether Lion's answer means
22
(1) the Marketing Materials were always present at Lion's tryouts, but there was no "procedure"
23
to ensure the Marketing Materials are actually handed out and reviewed by the attendees, or (2)
24
whether there were actually some tryouts where these Marketing Materials were not available at
25
all. Defendants' counsel stated in an unsworn email that "while 15-26 is available for use at the
26
tryout, sometimes it is handed out, sometimes it is not," which suggests appendix 15 to 26 is
27
always available. (Ex. 8 at p. 6.) Likewise, the qualification that "there is no established
28

procedure" makes the answer vague and leaves open the potential for iriformal procedures. Lion
2 needs to unambiguously disclose if the Marketing Materials were not present at specific tryouts
3 or during specific time periods.
4 Certainly, Lion's answer provides no indication that the terms and representations of its
5 marketing ever deviated from the Marketing Material that Cosio received. Obviously, if Lion
6 withheld any facts supporting its denial ofRFA No. 41, the December Response is necessarily
7 incomplete and undennines the proper function of discovery. (See also Liberty Mut. Fire Ins. Co.
8 v. LCL Adm 'rs, Inc. (2008) 163 Cal.App.4th 1093, 1104 ["[a]n important aspect oflegitimate
9 discovery ... is the ascertainment, in advance of [class certification], of the specific components
10 of [opposing party's] case so that appropriate preparations can be made to meet them"; citations,
11 punctuation omitted]. See also Burke v. Superior Court (1969) 71 Cal.2d 276,281 ["[d]iscovery
12 necessarily serves the function of 'testing the pleadings,' i.e., enabling a party to detennine what
13 his opponent's contentions are and whatfacts he relies upon to support his contentions";
14 citations, punctuation omitted; emphasis added].)
15 III. Lion's Verification of Its Responses Is Defective

16 Lion's verification of its December Responses is deficient. In the December Responses,
17 Larry Lionetti certifies the responses with the statement "I have personal knowledge of the
18 matters stated therein and declare them to be true or I am informed and believe and on that
19 ground allege that they are true." (Ex. 4 at p. 50; Ex. 5 at p. 13 [italics added].) The Civil
20 Discovery Act requires responses to be "under oath." (Code Civ. Proc. 2030.250, subd. (b);
21 2033.240, subd. (b).) Generally, "when an individual verifies discovery responses, further
22 discovery can be directed to that individual to detennine the sources for the initial responses.
23 Indeed, ... this is one of the purposes of a verification of a discovery response ... " (Melendrez
24 v. Superior Court (2013) 215 Cal.App.4th 1343, 1352.) The purpose of verification would be
25 frustrated if Defendants could simply allege their answers "on infonnation and belief." Hence,
26 "nothing in the Discovery Act authorizes verification of interrogatories on 'infonnation and
27 belief[.]'" (Weil & Brown, Cal. Practice Guide: Civil Procedure Before Trial (The Rutter Group
28 2016) ~ 8:1106.) "Unsworn responses are tantamount to no responses at all." (Appleton v.
Memorandum for Motion to Compel Further Response 11 No. CGC-I6-551337

Superior Court (1988) 206 Cal.App.3d 632,636 [citing Zarro Inv. Co. v. Great Pac. Sec. Corp.
2 (1977) 69 Cal.App.3d 907, 914].) The best practice for a corporation verifying its discovery
3 response is the following form:
4 I certify and declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of
Califomia that:
5 I am the Secretary ofXYZ, Inc.; and
I have made reasonable efforts to review relevant documents, records and
6 information possessed by or known to XYZ, Inc. and its officers and employees;
and
7 Based on such review, the facts stated herein are true and correct.
8 (Weil & Brown, Cal. Practice Guide: Civil Procedure Before Trial (The Rutter Group 2016) ~
9 8: 1106.1.) The discrepancy and deficiency in Defendants' Responses is especially problematic
10 where the basis for Mr. Lionetti's personal knowledge appears to be quite limited: Larry Lionetti
11 "is not employed by, and does not receive a paycheck from, Lion, Barbizon or IPAA [and] had
12 some serious health issues a few years ago which limit his ability to work." (Lena Lionetti Decl.
13 ~4, Dec. 13,2016.) By failing to conform to this best practice, Defendants have provided
14 ultimately unreliable discovery answers.
15 IV. Conclusion
16 Lion should answer RFAs Nos. 8 to 13 as Cosio asked them: did Lion's marketing
17 contain the relevant representations throughout the class period? If Lion denies RFAs Nos. 8 to
18 13 after they have been properly construed, it needs to amend its answer to Form Interrogatory
19 No. 17.1 to provide a complete set of facts that support its denial. Likewise, Lion should
20 "[a]dmit so much of [RFA No. 41] as is true," and amend its answer to Form Interrogatory No.
21 17.1 to (1) identify all witnesses with personal knowledge (2) frame its response in terms of
22 Lion's customers, not Barbizon's students, and (3) give a complete and correct statement of facts
23 under which these customers did not receive the Marketing Materials. (Code Civ. Proc.
24 2033.220 subd. (b).) In particular, Lion needs to clarify what it means when it says "there is no
25 established procedure" to ensure it gives Marketing Materials to its customers. Finally, Lion
26 should amend its verification to the RFAs and Form Interrogatory No. 17.1 under oath, based on
27 personal knowledge after a reasonable inquiry of Lion's officers and agents.

DEFENDANT LION MANAGEMENT GROUP INC. 's FURTHER AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSES
TO PLAINTIFF'S FIRST SET OF REQUESTS FOR ADMISSIONS
Pursuant to section 2033.010 et seq., of the California Code of Civil Procedure
2 ("CCP"), Defendant LION MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC. hereby responds to Plaintiff
3 ANGELICA COSIO'S Request for Admissions Set One.
4 GENERAL OBJECTIONS
5 1. In addition to the Specific Objections set forth below, Responding Party LION
6 MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC. ("LION MANAGEMENT") objects generally to the Requests on
7 several grounds. The objections set forth in this section apply to each request. The assertion of the
8 same, similar, or additional objections in LION MANAGEMENT's responses to individual requests,
9 or the failure to assert any additional objection to a request, does not waive any of the General
10 Objections.
11 2. LION MANAGEMENT objects to these Requests insofar and to the extent they
12 purport to impose on its obligations other than those imposed by Sections 2017.010 and 2033.210
13 et seq. of the Code of Civil Procedure.
14 3. LION MANAGEMENT objects to these Requests on the grounds to the extent they
15 purport to require disclosure of communications protected by the attorney-client privilege. LION
16 MANAGEMENT further objects to these Requests to the extent that they would require subjective
17 judgment on the part of LION MANAGEMENT and its attorneys, and would further require
18 disclosure of a conclusion or opinion of counsel in violation of the attorney work product doctrine.
19 4. LION MANAGEMENT objects to these Requests on the grounds that they seek
20 information wholly irrelevant to the matters alleged in this litigation, and is not reasonably calculated
21 to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
22 5. LION MANAGEMENT objects to these Requests on the grounds that they are
23 overbroad, burdensome and oppressive and seeks information wholly irrelevant to the matters alleged
24 in this litigation, and is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
25 6. LION MANAGEMENT further objects to these Requests as prematurely served, and
26 failing to abide by the Court's procedures for discovery in complex litigation and guidance for class
27 action matters (see Complex Litigation Users' Manual, at pages 2-4). LION MANAGEMENT
28 objects to these Requests to the extent they seek information in violation of the Discovery Act and are
2 CASE NO. CGC-16-551337
therefore improper. EVID. CODE 210, 350, 950-955,1060,1061; CCP 2017.010 et seq.,
2 2018.030 (work product), 2019.210 (trade secrets).
3 RESPONSES TO REQUEST FOR ADMISSION
4 REQUEST FOR ADMISSION NO.1:
5 Defendant Lion Management Group Inc. is requested to admit that:
6 Since at least April 6, 2012, IP AS has represented that IP AS's services are a way to obtain a
7 talent agent.
8 (As used in these Requests for Admission, "IPAS" means the same person(s) or entity(ies)
9 identified as "International Performing Arts Showcase" in the documents included in the attached
10 appendix (expressly including Lion Management Group Inc., whether or not doing business under the
11 fictitious business name "Hollywood Showcase"), its predecessors, successors, agents, partners,
12 attorneys, servants, employees, assignees, lessees, affiliates, and/or anyone acting on behalf of it,
13 and/or any affiliate, subsidiary, parent or related corporation, partnership or entity, and/or anyone
14 acting for or on behalf of an such subsidiary, related corporation, parent, partnership, entity, or
15 natural person.)
16 RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADMISSION NO.1:
17 Responding party LION MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC. ("LION MANAGEMENT
18 GROUP, INC.") objects to this Request to the extent that it seeks information protected from
19 disclosure by the attorney client privilege and/or work product doctrine. LION MANAGEMENT
20 objects to the form of this Request as argumentative and as purporting to require Responding Party
21 adopt Plaintiff s statutory construction of the California Labor Code or its interpretation of specific
22 terms with the California Labor Code. LION MANAGEMENT also objects to this Request as
23 containing or calling for a legal conclusion(s) and that it improperly seeks an admission regarding an
24 ultimate issue for the Court or factfinder, and thus, violates the Discovery Act. CCP 2017.010
25 et seq., 2033.230 et seq.
26 LION MANAGEMENT further objects to this Request as prematurely served, and failing to
27 abide by the Court's procedures for discovery in complex litigation and guidance for class action
28 matters (see Complex Litigation Users' Manual, at pages 2,3 ("sequencing discovery, with each
3 CASE NO. CGC-16-551337
phase designed to either lead directly to a motion or provide efficacies for the next phase"), and pages
2 3, 4 (Class actions: "1. Plaintiffs do only the discovery they need to meet their certification needs.
3 This is usually brief, as plaintiffs' counsel typically have what they need before the suit is filed. No
4 discovery is taken at this stage regarding anticipated defenses to the certification motion. Then
5 plaintiffs file the certification motion.")
6 Accordingly, LION MANAGEMENT reserves all rights and objections until the parties,

DEFENDANT LION MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC. 's FURTHER AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO
PLAINTIFF ANGELICA COSIO'S FIRST SET OF FORM INTERROGATORIES
Pursuant to section 2030.010 et seq., of the California Code of Civil Procedure ("CCP"),
2 Defendant LION MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC. hereby responds to Plaintiff ANGELICA
3 COSIO'S Form Interrogatories Set One.
4 GENERAL OBJECTIONS
5 A. In addition to the Specific Objections set forth below, Defendant LION
6 MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC. ("LION MANAGEMENT") objects generally to the Interrogatories
7 on several grounds. The objections set forth in this section apply to each Interrogatory. The assertion
8 of the same, similar, or additional objections in the Company's responses to individual
9 interrogatories, or the failure to assert any additional objection to an interrogatory, does not waive
10 any of the General Objections.
11 B. LION MANAGEMENT objects to these Requests pursuant to Code of Civil Section
12 2030.020 on the grounds that these Requests are premature and served on LION MANAGEMENT
l3 before service of a summons.
14 C. LION MANAGEMENT objects to these Requests insofar and to the extent they
15 purport to impose on its obligations other than those imposed by Sections 2017.010 and 2030.210
16 et seq. of the Code of Civil Procedure.
17 D. LION MANAGEMENT objects to these Requests on the grounds to the extent they
18 purport to require disclosure of communications protected by the attorney-client privilege. LION
19 MANAGEMENT further objects to these Requests to the extent that they would require subjective
20 judgment on the part of LION MANAGEMENT and its attorneys, and would further require
21 disclosure of a conclusion or opinion of counsel in violation of the attorney work product doctrine.
22 RESPONSES TO FORM INTERROGATORIES
23 FORM INTERROGATORY NO. 17.1:
24 Is your response to each request for admission served with these Interrogatories an
25 unqualified admission? If not, for each response that is not an unqualified admission:
26 (a) state the number of the request;
27 (b) state all the facts upon which you base your response;
28
(c) state the name, ADDRESS, and telephone number of all PERSONS who have
2 knowledge ofthose facts; and
3 (d) identify all DOCUMENTS and other tangible things that support your response and
4 state the name, ADDRESS, and telephone number of the PERSON who has each DOCUMENT and
5 thing.
6 RESPONSE TO FORM INTERROGATORY NO. 17.1:
7 LION MANAGEMENT objects to this Form Interrogatory Request to the extent that it seeks
8 information protected from disclosure by the attorney client privilege and/or work product doctrine.
9 LION MANAGEMENT objects to this Request to the extent it purports to require that Responding
10 Party violate or waive privacy rights of third parties protected by the United States Constitution
11 and/or the California Constitution and applicable law. U.S. Const. 4th Amendment; Cal. Const. Art.
12 1, 1; see also Information Practices Act of 1977, Civil Code, 1978 et seq. Responding Party also
13 objects to this Request to the extent that a response to this Request would expose Responding Party to
14 liability by third parties relating to any wrongful disclosure of any third party's constitutional
15 protected privacy rights.
16 LION MANAGEMENT objects to this Request as prematurely served, and fail to abide by
18 Complex Litigation Users' Manual, at pages 2, 3 ("sequencing discovery, with each phase designed to
19 either lead directly to a motion or provide efficacies for the next phase"), and pages 3,4 (Class
20 actions: "1. Plaintiffs do only the discovery they need to meet their certification needs. This is usually
21 brief, as plaintiffs' counsel typically have what they need before the suit is filed. No discovery is
22 taken at this stage regarding anticipated defenses to the certification motion. Then plaintiffs file the
23 certification motion.")

25 (a)-(b)
26 AS TO RFAS NOS. 8-13, 27-29,35-39,40,41-44:
27 For over 70 years, Barbizon Modeling and Acting School has provided instructional courses
28 in modeling, acting and personal development. Founded in 1939 on Fifth Avenue in New York City,
New York, by Helen Fraser,l a fashion model and teacher, Barbizon Modeling and Acting Centers
2 are now located in more than 200 markets across the United States, Asia, Canada and South America.
3 Train to BE A MODEL or ... Just Look Like One! is the registered slogan of the iconic
4 company.
5 While many students go to Barbizon to train for the world of modeling and acting, others
6 choose to enter the business world, or use their fashion and beauty experience as a stepping stone to
7 careers as stylists, make-up artists and designers. Others benefit by simply becoming more confident
8 and poised in their personal and professional lives. Barbizon alumni include everyday people,
9 entertainment industry professionals, and world leaders; ranging from Sports Illustrated swimsuit
10 models, movie and TV actors, Miss Americas, and even former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,
11 who credits Barbizon in her autobiography, "An American Life", revealing that she enrolled as a
12 "lark", something her mother wholeheartedly endorsed: "She thought I was kind of a tomboy and
l3 maybe it would make me a little more elegant." In the end, Rice said, "actually, I learned a lot"
14 [from the Barbizon school]. (ELISABETH BUM ILLER, AN AMERICAN LIFE, p. 64 (Random
15 House 2007.) Showcase alumni also have gone on to have successful careers in acting, modeling,
16 and singing.
17 Defendant Larry Lionetti is Barbizon's longest-franchisee, first acquiring San Francisco's
18 Barbizon Modeling and Acting Center almost 43 years ago. Mr. Lionetti holds the franchise through
19 Defendant Barbizon School of San Francisco, Inc. He is the sole member and President of Barbizon
20 School of San Francisco, Inc. Barbizon has operated continually in California since approximately
21 1973.
22 Mr. Lionetti and his wife of 31 years, Defendant Lena Q., annually host a well-known
23 industry networking conference in Los Angeles, known as "Showcase," where students from
24 California and elsewhere have an opportunity to learn from, meet with, perform in front of, and be
25 critiqued by licensed agents, managers, and casting directors. The event provides students with an
26

interested in the town of Barbizon, a village outside of Paris known for the 19th-century Barbizon
28 school of painters.
opportunity to get real-world feedback in a safe and nurturing environment, filled with fun.
2 Before ~ 2013, the event was operated by Defendant International Perfonning Arts
3 Academy, LLC, of which Lena Q. Lionetti, is the sole member.
4 In early ~ 2013, the Lionettis began using Lion Management, Inc., which is owned jointly
5 by Larry and Lena Q. Lionetti to operate the International Perfonning Arts Academy and Showcase
6 event in Los Angeles. Larry Lionetti is the President of Lion, Lena Q., is the Vice-President. At that
7 point in time, the Lionettis discontinued the active use of IP AA, LLC.
8 At all relevant times, Defendants Barbizon, IP AA, and Lion have posted the bond required to
9 operate as a talent service in California. (See, http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/DLSE-Databases.htm.)
10 Since April 2012, Defendants Barbizon and Lion have entered into written contracts with any
11 artist desiring to utilize their talent service. The written contracts are intended by Defendants to
12 confonn to Labor Code section 1703, and as far as Defendants know, do conform to those
13 requirements, including by posting a conspicuous warning that:
14
THIS IS NOT A TALENT AGENCY CONTRACT. ONLY A
15
TALENT AGENT LICENSED PURSUANT TO SECTION 1700.5 OF

25
26 Since :A:Bfl:hB;}t~ 2013 to present, all artists using Lion's talent services have been "signed
27 up" using Lion's fonn of agreement; however, due to a mistake, Cosio, and a handful of others, were
28 signed up using IPAA's contract. The services were not provided by IPAA, and the Los Angeles

DEFENDANT LION MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC.'S FURTHER AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO
event she attended Winter 2014 Showcase , was not operated by IPAA. As such, Cosio's contract
2 is different than the majority of other participants of the program from W+2 2013 to present.
3 As part of its services, since W+2 2013, Lion has provided lessons, coaching, seminars,
4 workshops, or similar training for artists, including several months of additional "advanced" training
5 in acting, modeling, singing and dancing. For those desiring to attend, since ~ 2013, Lion has
6 operated a conference in Los Angeles, known as "Showcase" or "Hollywood Showcase". At the
7 event, which takes place over four (4) days, artists and their parents and guests attend seminars and
8 workshops, meeting and learning from industry professionals. The event also hosts "showcases"
9 where talent competes in their chosen category before entertainment professionals who judge the
10 competition for an award at the conclusion of the program. The artists also attend parties and other
11 exciting events.
12 Before attending the Los Angeles event, as a customary business practice from April ~
13 2013 to April6, 2016, Lion personnel collected releases executed by Showcase participants for any
14 physical injury occurring at the event and disclaimers executed by participants representing as
15 follows: "NO PERSON HAS TOLD YOU OR LED YOU TO BELIEVE THAT HS OR ANY
16 MEMBER WOULD PROVIDE ANY SERVICES INCLUDING ANY POTENTIAL
17 EMPLOYMENT FOR YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE SHOWCASE ... " and "I am fully
18 aware that my attendance and participation at the HS showcase is a learning experience and that no
19 promises of a job or agent signing have been made to me or my parents by my school/training
20 location/agency or its Directors or affiliated representatives or by HS."
21 AS TO RFAS NOS. 8-12:
22 Defendants do not misrepresent the nature of their services or otherwise promise to provide
23 any student with an audition or job opportunity in the entertainment industry. Defendants do not
24 promise to provide an agent or manager for any student. The ternlS of the services to be provided are
25 set forth in Defendants' contracts and other agreements with its students, which expressly disclaim
26 that such are being provided. To the extent that students have an opportunity to meet with or audition
27 before any producer, director, casting director, or any associate thereof, or any other person who
28 makes, or is represented to make, decisions for the process of hiring artists for employment as an
artist, or any talent agent or talent manager, or any associate, representative, or designee thereof,
2 Defendant maintains, in accordance with Labor Code section 1703.4 written evidence of the
3 supporting facts, including the name, business address, and job title of all persons conducting the
4 meeting or audition, and the title of the production and the name of the production company. Each
5 Showcase program booklet distributed to students identifies the entertainment industry professionals
6 attending Showcase.
7 As it relates to Cosio, Defendants deny that Cosio was promised an audition or job
8 opportunity or that she was told that anyone would secure her a talent agent or talent manager, as she
9 alleges. Cosio's family friend, Brandy Calderon, who "scouted" Cosio denies that she made any such
10 promises or offers to Cosio. Ms. Calderon did not tell Cosio, or anyone, that they could get a job in
11 the entertainment industry or an audition, agent or manager. When she told people about the
12 program, she would present it like any other activity such as gymnastics.
l3 To Defendant's knowledge, no person affiliated with Defendant made any representations to
14 Cosio that she would receive an audition or job opportunity or that they would secure her a talent
15 agent or talent manager and never has Cosio made any such complaint to Defendants. In fact, Cosio
16 indicated complete satisfaction with her experience.
17 Defendants lack personal knowledge as to what Cosio read on the Internet or what she was
18 told by third parties about Barbizon and Lion's services; however, Defendants' internal procedures
19 prohibit any employee from making any representation that the company will provide an audition for
20 work in the entertainment industry, or as a means to secure a talent agent or manager. Defendants
21 further provide students with disclosures that only a licensed talent agent may procure work for them.
22 RFAS NO. 13:
23 Defendant denies that it offers, in exchange for a fee, auditions. Defendant does not charge
24 any person to audition for its program and does not send students out on auditions for work in
25 exchange for a fee.
26 RFA NOS. 27-28:
27 Defendant charges its students for its talent training services, but does not charge any fees for
28 auditions, jobs, or employment opportunities.

RFANO.29:
2 As discussed above, Cosio executed an IPAA contract when in reality her showcase was
3 operated by Lion. Cosio and a handful of other students were the subject of this error. Most ofthe
4 putative class executed a different contract.
5 RFAS NOS. 35-39:
6 The images attached to the appendix as pages 9-13 of the attached appendix do not accurately
7 reflect the website at h!1J12JL:li!l.~.lli~~~r1. The images have been cropped or separated out from
8 other text such that they do not accurately reflect a user's experience.
9 RFA NOS. 40-44:
10 Although it makes all requisite statutory disclosures, Defendant denies that it made uniform
11 representations to the putative class, or that all members of the putative class were told the same thing
12 or were exposed to the same statements. Each class member is individually recruited and will have a
l3 different experience depending on how they come to the schooL Further some putative class
14 members may review the company website and some may not (and some may review parts of the
15 website, while others review other parts). The process of enrollment is highly interactive. Each
16 student may be subject to additional and different disclosures and disclaimers about Defendants'
17 services depending on each student's individual circumstances and his or her (and their children's)
18 questions asked, and answers given.
19 (c)-(d)
20 (c) The following persons have knowledge of those facts: Larry Lionetti and Lena Q.
21 Lionetti. They may be contacted through their counsel of record.
22 (d) The following DOCUMENTS support Lion's Response: marketing material; talent
23 service contracts, and other agreements executed by any customer; training material; payment
24 records; showcase directories and video of the event; corporate documents related to Lion; scripts and
25 presentations (including video); some customer satisfaction surveys; and various other misc. records
26 related to its rendition of services, including but not limited to class schedules, informational flyers,
27 contact information fonns, sponsor letter, photo shoot packet, etc. Lion's records are maintained in
28 drop box files and on go ogle drive. While Lion maintains templates, Lion does not routinely keep
copies of personalized incidental records, such as completed tryout forms, completed sponsor letters,
2 scout cards, or other school material completed by, or sent to, students. Before the filing of this
3 action, Lion maintained hard copy records in its Seattle office of documents signed by all Showcase
4 participants (including Cosio) attending the L.A. event, including copies of releases by Showcase
5 participants (for any physical injury occurring at the event) and disclaimers executed by Showcase
6 participants representing as follows: "NO PERSON HAS TOLD YOU OR LED YOU TO BELIEVE
7 THAT HS OR ANY MEMBER WOULD PROVIDE ANY SERVICES INCLUDING ANY
8 POTENTIAL EMPLOYMENT FOR YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE SHOWCASE ... " and "I
9 am fully aware that my attendance and participation at the HS showcase is a learning experience and
10 that no promises of a job or agent signing have been made to me or my parents by my school/training
11 location/agency or its Directors or affiliated representatives or by HS." In January 2016, however,
12 Zynn Jones, National Education Director, who operates out of the Seattle office, without permission
l3 or warning, destroyed the hard copies of these records. Ms. Jones' computer has been retrieved and
14 forensically imaged and Defendant is investigating what records, if any, can be retrieved from this
15 computer. After learning of Ms. Jones' actions, Defendant has changed its procedure and now
16 maintains copies of these releases and disclaimers at its San Francisco office.
17 AMENDED SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO FORM INTERROGATORY NO. 17.1:
18 AS TO RFAS NOS. 35, 36, 37 AND 41:
19 RFAS NOS. 35-37:
20 The images attached to the appendix as pages 9-11 of the attached appendix do not accurately
21 reflect the website at !illJ[l;il1!!~.lli~~~r.L. The images have been cropped or separated out from
22 other text such that they do not accurately reflect a user's experience. In appendix page 9, plaintiff
23 has a screen grab of an image that does not reflect the interactivity of the website. On the actual
24 website, while the young girl is holding a phone, the background is continually changing, scrolling
25 through 9 different images that more readily capture the viewer's attention. The screen grab also
26 distorts the placement of the image. On the website, the girl holding phone photo is under a drop
27 down bar where a person can input their name, age, zip, state, phone and email, and upload a photo.
28
Plaintiffs Appendix 9 shows the young girl blocking the drop down menu such that portions of the
2 website are completely obscured. This is not the user's experience.
3 Plaintiff s Appendix 10 is just an isolated image file taken from the website. It is one of 9
4 changing images on the home screen. On the website, the image appears for just a few seconds before
5 it changes to another image. There are also other elements on the page which are not reflected in the
6 screen grab including other content and disclaimers about the services.
7 Plaintiffs Appendix 11 is just an isolated image file taken from the website. The image is
8 found on the last tab of the website, under "Contact". On the actual website, the image is partially
9 blocked by the drop down bar where a person can input their name, age, zip, state, phone and email,
10 and upload a photo. There are also other elements on the page which are not reflected in the screen
11 grab including other content and disclaimers about the services.

DEFENDANT LION MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC. 's SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO
PLAINTIFF ANGELICA COSIO'S FIRST SET OF SPECIAL INTERROGATORIES
Pursuant to section 2030.010 et seq., ofthe California Code of Civil Procedure ("CCP"),
2
Defendant LION MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC. hereby further responds to Plaintiff ANGELICA
3
COSIO'S Special Interrogatories Set One.
4
GENERAL OBJECTIONS
5
A. In addition to the Specific Objections set forth below, Defendant LION
6
MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC. ("LION MANAGEMENT") objects generally to the Interrogatories
7
on several grounds. The objections set forth in this section apply to each Interrogatory. The assertion
8
of the same, similar, or additional objections in the Company's responses to individual
9
interrogatories, or the failure to assert any additional objection to an interrogatory, does not waive
10
any of the General Objections.
11
B. LION MANAGEMENT objects to these Requests pursuant to Code of Civil Section
12
2030.020 on the grounds that these Requests are premature and served on LION MANAGEMENT
13
before service of a summons.
14
C. LION MANAGEMENT objects to these Requests insofar and to the extent they
15
purport to impose on its obligations other than those imposed by Sections 2017.010 and
16
2030.210 et seq. of the Code of Civil Procedure.
17
D. LION MANAGEMENT objects to these Requests on the grounds to the extent they
18
purport to require disclosure of communications protected by the attorney-client privilege. LION
19
MANAGEMENT further objects to these Requests to the extent that they would require subjective
20
judgment on the part of LION MANAGEMENT and its attorneys, and would further require
21
disclosure of a conclusion or opinion of counsel in violation of the attorney work product doctrine.
22
23
SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSES TO SPECIAL INTERROGATORIES
24
SPECIAL INTERROGATORY NO.1:
25
INDICATE the DOCUMENTS which LION MANAGEMENT has preserved in connection
26
with this case.
27
(As used in these Special Interrogatories, (1) "LION MANAGEMENT" means
28 Defendant Lion Management Group Inc., whether or not doing business under the
1 CASE NO. CGC-16-551337
fictitious business name "Hollywood Showcase", and its predecessors, successors,
agents, partners, attorneys, servants, employees, assignees, lessees, affiliates, and/or
2 anyone acting on behalf of it, and/or any affiliate, subsidiary, parent or related
corporation, partnership or entity, and/or anyone acting for or on behalf of any such
3 subsidiary, related corporation, parent, partnership, entity, or natural person: (2)
"DOCUMENT" means, consistent with Code of Civil Procedure section 20 16.020(c)
4 and Evidence Code section 250, handwriting, typewriting, printing, photostating,
photographing, photocopying, transmitting by electronic mail or facsimile, and every
5 other means of recording upon any tangible thing, any form of communication or
representation, including letters, words, pictures, sounds, or symbols, or combinations
6 thereof, and any record thereby created, regardless of the manner in which the record
has been stored; and (3) "INDICATE" means to state as much of the following as is
7 possible with respect to DOCUMENTS responsive to this Interrogatory: (a) the general
category by which BARBIZON references DOCUMENTS responsive to this
8 Interrogatory during the ordinary course of business (by way of example: account
notes, computer manuals, correspondence, etc.); (b) any specific name for
9 DOCUMENTS responsive to this Interrogatory which BARBIZON uses during the
ordinary course of its business; the form or format of the DOCUMENT (by way of
10 example: paper, photograph, tape recording, or if an electronic DOCUMENT-file
type); (c) the storage device containing the DOCUMENT (if the DOCUMENT is a
11 paper document, then the folder, file cabinet, or other container, or ifthe DOCUMENT
is electronic, then the computer hard drive, portable hard drive, DVD, CD flash drive,
12 etc.); (d) the file path for any electronic DOCUMENT; and (e) the street address where
the storage device may be found.)
13
14
RESPONSE TO SPECIAL INTERROGATORY NO.1
15
Responding party LION MANAGEMENT GROUP INC. ("LION MANAGEMENT")
16
objects to this Request to the extent that it seeks information protected from disclosure by the
17
attorney client privilege and/or work product doctrine. A litigation hold is in place, but the
18
requesting party is not entitled to the identification of the documents that have been preserved. LION
19
MANAGEMENT further objects to this Request as prematurely served, and fail to abide by the
20
Court's procedures for discovery in complex litigation and guidance for class action matters (see
21
Complex Litigation Users' Manual, at pages 2,3 ("sequencing discovery, with each phase designed
22
to either lead directly to a motion or provide efficacies for the next phase"), and pages 3, 4 (Class
23
24
usually brief, as plaintiffs' counsel typically have what they need before the suit is filed. No
25
26
plaintiffs file the certification motion.")
27
28
2 CASE NO. CGC-16-551337
LION MANAGEMENT further objects that that the scope of Plaintiffs requested discovery
2
is overbroad, harassing, and seeks confidential proprietary information, and is therefore improper and
3
violates the Discovery Act. Accordingly, LION MANAGEMENT reserves all rights and objections
4
until the parties, through counsel, are able to meet and confer regarding the appropriate scope of the
5
discovery at this pre-class certification stage of this action. Evid. Code 21 0, 350, 950-955, 1060,
6
1061; CCP 2017.010 et seq., 2018.030 (work product), 2019.210 (trade secrets).
7
LION MANAGEMENT further objects that an answer to this interrogatory would necessitate
8
the preparation or the making of a compilation, abstract, audit, or summary of or from the documents
9
of defendant, and the burden or expense of preparing or making it would be substantially the same for
10
plaintiff as for the responding party.
11
(As used in these Special Interrogatories, (1) "DESCRIBE" means to state as much of
12 the following as is possible with respect to the actions responsive to this Interrogatory:
(a) the name, address, telephone number, and employer of every natural person who
13 performed or participated in a responsive action (or attempted to do so); (b) the storage
devices which were searched (or attempted to be searched) for responsive
14 DOCUMENTS (if the DOCUMENTS are a paper document, then the folder, file
cabinet, etc., or if the DOCUMENT is electronic, then the computer hard drive,
15 portable hard drive, DVD, CD flash drive, etc.), the file path for any electronic
DOCUMENT, and the street address where the storage device may be found; (c) the
16 method or means used to search each such storage device (by way of example:
manually reviewed each document in the storage device, searched an electronic file
17 database using the following command, etc.); and (d) the DOCUMENTS which each
such person located (or attempted to locate) in each such storage device using each
18 such search method; (2) "IPAS" means the same person(s) or entity(ies) identified as
"International Performing Arts Showcase" in the documents included in the attached
19 appendix (expressly including Lion Management Group Inc., whether or not doing
business under the fictitious business name "Hollywood Showcase"), its predecessors,
20 successors, agents, partners, attorneys, servants, employees, assignees, lessees,
affiliates, and/or anyone acting on behalf of it, and/or any affiliate, subsidiary, parent
21 or related corporation, partnership or entity, and/or anyone acting for or on behalf of
any such subsidiary, related corporation, parent, partnership, entity, or natural person.)
22
23
SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO SPECIAL INTERROGATORY NO.1
24
Subject to the foregoing objections, Lion responds: Lion maintains copies of its business
25
records, including marketing material; talent service contracts, and other agreements executed by any
26
customer; training material; payment records; showcase directories and video of the event; corporate
27
documents related to Lion; personnel files and payroll records of its employees and independent
28
3 CASE NO. CGC-16-551337
contractors; scripts and presentations (including video); some customer satisfaction surveys; and
2
various other misc. records related to its rendition of services, including but not limited to class
3
schedules, informational flyers, contact information forms, sponsor letter, photo shoot packet, etc.
4
Lion's records are maintained in dropbox and googledrive files. While Lion maintains templates,
5
Lion does not routinely keep copies of personalized incidental records, such as completed try out
6
forms, completed sponsor letters, scout cards, or other school material completed by, or sent to,
7
students. Before the filing of this action, Lion maintained hard copy records in its Seattle office of
8
documents signed by all Showcase participants (including Cosio) attending the L.A. event, including
9
copies of releases by Showcase participants (for any physical injury occurring at the event) and
10
disclaimers executed by Showcase participants representing as follows: "NO PERSON HAS TOLD
11
YOU OR LED YOU TO BELIEVE THAT HS OR ANY MEMBER WOULD PROVIDE ANY
12
SERVICES INCLUDING ANY POTENTIAL EMPLOYMENT FOR YOU IN CONNECTION
13
WITH THE SHOWCASE ... " and "I am fully aware that my attendance and participation at the HS
14
showcase is a learning experience and that no promises of a job or agent signing have been made to
15
me or my parents by my school/training location/agency or its Directors or affiliated representatives
16
or by HS." In January 2016, however, Zynn Jones, National Education Director, who operates out of
17
the Seattle office, without permission or warning, destroyed the hard copies of these records.
18
Ms. Jones' computer has been retrieved and forensically imaged and Defendant is investigating what
19
records, if any, can be retrieved from this computer. After learning of Ms. Jones' actions, Defendant
20
has changed its procedure and now maintains copies of these releases and disclaimers at its San
21
Francisco office.
22
23
DESCRIBE the actions that LION MANAGEMENT has taken to locate DOCUMENTS
24
responsive to Plaintiff Angelica Cosio's Demands for Production of Documents No. 17 to LION
25
MANAGEMENT (i.e., all DOCUMENTS concerning marketing ofIPAS's services, including (a)
26
DOCUMENTS constituting advertisements and/or marketing ofIPAS's services; and (b) any policy,

7
RESPONSE TO SPECIAL INTERROGATORY NO.2:
8
Responding party LION MANAGEMENT objects to this Request to the extent that it seeks
9
information protected from disclosure by the attorney client privilege and/or work product doctrine.

5
Ms. Jones also revealed that before this action was filed, because of space issues in the Seattle
6
office, she destroyed hard copies of Lion's business records. Ms. Jones did not ask or receive
7
permission to destroy files. It is unknown exactly what records she once possessed that were
8
destroyed. However, before the filing of this action, Lion maintained hard copy records in its Seattle
9
office of documents signed by all Showcase participants (including Cosio) attending the L.A. event,
10
including copies of releases by Showcase participants (for any physical injury occurring at the event)
11
and disclaimers executed by Showcase participants representing as follows: "NO PERSON HAS
12
TOLD YOU OR LED YOU TO BELIEVE THAT HS OR ANY MEMBER WOULD PROVIDE
13
ANY SERVICES INCLUDING ANY POTENTIAL EMPLOYMENT FOR YOU IN
14
CONNECTION WITH THE SHOWCASE ... " and "I am fully aware that my attendance and
15
participation at the HS showcase is a learning experience and that no promises of a job or agent
16
signing have been made to me or my parents by my school/training location/agency or its Directors
17
or affiliated representatives or by HS."
18
Among the items destroyed were copies of releases and disclaimers signed by Showcase
19
participants.
20
Ms. Jones' computer has been retrieved and forensically imaged and Defendant's counsel is
21
investigating what records, if any, can be retrieved from this computer. After learning of Ms. Jones'
22
actions, Defendant changed its procedure and now maintains a hard copy file in San Francisco of
23
such releases and waivers.
24
As discussed above, Lion generally maintains copies of its business records, including
25
marketing material; talent service contracts, and other agreements executed by any customer; training
26
material; payment records; showcase directories and video of the event; corporate documents related
27
to Lion; personnel files and payroll records of its employees and independent contractors; scripts and
28
7 CASE NO. CGC-16-551337
presentations (including video); some customer satisfaction surveys; and various other miscellaneous
2
records related to its rendition of services, including but not limited to class schedules, informational
3
flyers, contact information forms, sponsor letter, photo shoot packet, etc.
4
Pay records are in FM as well as the merchant online terminal. Here is what a search for
5
Cosio's payment information looks like:

At this time, and before merits discovery, Lion has not attempted to collect and review its
4
employees, agents and contractors email which would be an expensive and time consuming
5
undertaking. There may be records related to this action in these persons email accounts. All such
6
persons have been instructed to preserve all documents that might be relevant to the claim.
7
SUPPLEMENTAL COURT ORDERED RESPONSE TO SPECIAL INTERROGATORY NO.
8
2:
9
The following searches were conducted by LION to locate DOCUMENTS responsive to
10
Cosio's Demands for Production of Documents No. 17 (DOCUMENTS constituting advertisements
11
and/or marketing ofIPAS's services! DOCUMENTS constituting employment policies, manuals, etc.
12
concerning LION's marketing oflPAS's services):
13
Lena Marie Lionetti and Lena Q. Lionetti searched two mac desktop computers (known as
14
"Stephanie's old computer" and "Kelly's old computer") at Lion's office in San Francisco, CA.
15
Search terms were not used. DOCUMENTS before April 2012 were excluded. Lena Marie and Lena
16
Q. mechanically viewed DOCUMENTS that reside on those computers and selected those that they
17
believed were responsive to Plaintiff's request for Production of Documents No. 17.
18
Lena Marie and Lena Q. also performed a manual search of Lion's dropbox accounts, which
19
are registered in Lena Q.'s name. Search terms were not used. DOCUMENTS before April 2012
20
were excluded. Lena Marie and Lena Q. mechanically viewed DOCUMENTS and selected those that
21
that they believed were responsive to Plaintiff's request for Production of Documents No. 17.
22
Lena Q. Lionetti also searched for DOCUMENTS by accessing Lion's Vinmeo (a video-
23
sharing website in which users can upload, share and view videos) account. She did not use any date
24
or search term limiters.
25
Lena Marie Lionetti also searched google documents, which are under Lena Q.'s account.
26
Search terms were not used. A manual review was undertaken to locate DOCUMENTS that she
27
believed were responsive to Plaintiff's request for Production of Documents No. 17.
28
1 CASE NO. CGC-16-551337
As part of the ordinary course of business, Lena Marie Lionetti usually asks scouts for their
2
scripts a few times a year to make sure the company is abiding by the AB 1319 law as well as having
3
them on file. To locate these historical scripts, Lena Marie searched her old company email and her
4
current company email using the search terms "script" and "scout script." Once she located them, she
5
continued to search her emails in and around the class dates. She also searched her google drives
6
attached to those company emails with the same terms.
7
After the Court's March 3 Order, and in an effort to locate any updated scripts, on March 6,
8
2017, Lena Marie Lionetti emailed Kanieta Russel, Sheree Dyer, Michele Haglin, Gina Hiraizumi,
9
Bianca Gutierrez, Jamie Sorenson, and Koda King. Any scripts received in response to Lena Marie's
10
March 6 email were forwarded to counsel for production.
