PLAINTIFF’S FIRST SET OF POST-JUDGMENT INTERROGATORIES

Comes Plaintiff, by and through his attorneys, the Ferguson Law Firm, PLLC, and for its first set

of post-judgment interrogatories to be answered by Defendant, Eric Parkinson under oath and

within 30 days pursuant to Rule 33 of the Arkansas Rule of Civil Procedure requests:

INSTRUCTIONS

1. If you object to an interrogatory or request, in whole or in part, but provide an answer

without making any waiver of your objection, please so specify that your answer is without any

waiver of the objection, and the objection so raised, as well as either (a) all responsive

information and documents requested, with said response being so specified, or (b) withholding

the information or documents, and specifying that information is being withheld. If you are

withholding any documents, please identify them, providing enough information to identify the

withheld documents or items for this party and the Court to determine whether the documents or

items should be withheld.

Page 1 of 10
2. Where knowledge or information is requested from you, this request includes knowledge

available to or possessed by your agents, representatives, and attorneys, unless privileged.

3. Each interrogatory and each subpart of each interrogatory should be given a separate

response. Interrogatories or subparts thereof may not be combined even when the response given

to the interrogatories and/or their subparts are identical, or substantially similar, however, if an

answer is identical to a previous response, you may answer by reference. However, the answer to

any interrogatory or subpart thereof may not be supplied by reference to a response to any other

interrogatory or subpart thereof, unless the interrogatory or subpart thereof so referred to supplies

a complete and accurate response to the individual interrogatory or subpart thereof which is being

responded to initially.

4. If you are unable to provide an accurate answer to an interrogatory, or are uncertain

regarding a response to any item, please provide your best estimate of the information requested,

specifying that the answer is merely an estimate, and that an accurate response cannot be given

by you to the item.

5. If you believe that an interrogatory or request is vague in itself or utilizes vague

wording, please state what you assume the interrogatory or request to be calling for, and then

answer based upon your assumption. If you are unable even to generate an assumption about

what is being requested, please consult Plaintiff’s counsel for a clarification before

answering. Please note that Plaintiff’s counsel will agree to a 3 day extension of time to respond

if the need arises for Defense Counsel to seek clarification from Plaintiff’s counsel as to terms

and scope of an interrogatory or request for production of documents. Due to this instruction and

its generous terms, if Defense counsel objects to an interrogatory or request based upon

Page 2 of 10
vagueness, Plaintiff’s counsel will respond to such objection with a motion for sanctions for

unnecessary delay, expense, and use of judicial resources.

6. These interrogatories will be deemed to be continuing in nature in order to allow

supplemental answers so that your responses to each item remain accurate and complete if you or

counsel representing you should obtain any further or different information between the time the

answers to these items are made and the time of any trial on the merits.
