c. The parties’ dispute regarding the applicability and scope of 26 U.S.C. § 6103. See,

e.g., Resp. to RFA Nos. 12-14, 19-24; Resp. to RFP Nos. 4-11, 16-24, 26-41; and Resp. to

Interrogatories Nos. 1-10.

d. The parties’ dispute regarding the sufficiency of Defendants’ responses to

Plaintiff’s Requests for Admissions that neither specifically admit nor deny the requests,

nor state in detail the reason for Defendants’ inability to answer. See, e.g., Resp. to RFA

Nos. 12-18, 22-25, 27, 30, 42-43.

e. The parties’ dispute regarding the sufficiency of Defendants’ responses to

Plaintiff’s Requests for Production that refuse to produce any documents or materials,

instead relying on vague objections that indicate Defendants have not attempted to obtain

any of the requested material. See, e.g., Resp. to RFP Nos. 4-18.

f. The parties’ dispute regarding the sufficiency of Defendants’ responses to

Plaintiff’s Interrogatories that do not include responsive answers and rely exclusively on

boilerplate general objections and relevance objections. See, e.g., Resp. to Interrogatories

Nos. 1-2, 4-8.1

Copies of the relevant source documents will be emailed to Chambers consistent with the

procedures set forth in Magistrate Judge Goodman’s Discovery Procedures Order. See ECF No.

16 at 4.

 Pursuant to the Court’s Order granting Plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint (ECF

No. 42), Plaintiff will file an amended complaint by October 27, 2023 adding allegations related

to the recently-revealed criminal proceeding described in Plaintiff’s Notice of Supplemental

Authority (ECF No. 37). Plaintiff anticipates serving additional, targeted discovery concerning

these new allegations or other subsequently identified information, but expects that the Court’s

ruling on the discovery disputes presented in this Notice of Hearing will likewise resolve any

substantive disputes relating to any such later-served discovery.
