a) Request Nos. 6-8, 10 

The parties agree that the scope of these requests shall be limited to the 

time period between August 10 and October 31, 2006, and shall be further 

limited to the sizes and varieties of tomatoes set forth the in the parties’ 

contract that is the subject of this case. 

Sun Pacific shall produce responsive documents or certify that, after a 

diligent search, no responsive documents exist that are in the possession, 

custody or control of Sun Pacific. 

b) Request No. 12

The parties agree that Sun Pacific shall produce copies of invoices for

for Roma tomatoes sold between August 10 and October 31, 2006.

DiMare withdraws its request to compel production of Request Nos.

fact, the Contract that is the subject of this case was terminated by Sun Pacific in late August, or early September, 2006, not October, 2006. 

The parties stipulate to exchange phone records in response to 

Plaintiff’s Requests 32-34 and Defendant’s Requests 13-15 for the time 

period between September 1 and September 14, 2006.
