JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR PALM 

BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA 

CASE NO.: 50-2016-CA-012892 

DIVISION: AE 

ZOKAITES PROPERTIES, LP, 

Plaintiff, 

vs. 

SOVEREIGN GAMING & ENTERTAINMENT, 

LLC; GEORGE MALER; JERI MALER and 

THE UNKNOWN PARTIES IN POSSESSION 

OF 3485 LAGO DE TALAVERA, WELLINGTON, 

FL 33467; and DA YID FIORE, individually and as 

assignee for CARL STONE, 3485 Lago De Talavera

PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO COMPEL AND FOR SANCTIONS 

AGAINST NON-PARTY ROBERT GIBSON 

Plaintiff ZOKAITES PROPERTIES, LP ("Plaintiff'), by and through its undersigned 

counsel, pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.3 80, hereby files its Motion to Compel and 

for Sanctions Against Non-Party ROBERT GIBSON ("Gibson"), and hereby states as follows: 

1. On April 3, 2018, a foreclosure trial began in this matter. At the close of Plaintiffs 

case, Defendants, David Fiore, individually and as assignee for Carl Stone, 3485 Lago De Talavera 

Trust and Diana George (the "Fiore Defendants"), sought to call Gibson as their first witness. 

2. Undersigned counsel objected to the Fiore Defendants presenting the testimony of 

Gibson since, among other reasons, (1) Gibson was never previously disclosed as a witness, (2) 

Plaintiff never had an opportunity to depose Gibson, and (3) Gibson had no knowledge as to 

whether the Original Lender had any knowledge of and/or participation in any possible fraud.

Case 19-01298-MAM Doc 40-4 Filed 09/23/19 Page 1 of 20
CASE NO.: 502016CA012892XXXXMB 

3. Although the Court continued the trial to Friday, April 6, 2018, and required that 

Gibson be made available for deposition, Gibson refused to complete his deposition on Thursday, 

April 5, 2018, and did not provide all documents sought in the Notice of Taking Deposition Duces 

Tecum. In addition, Gibson filed a Verified Emergency Motion for Protective Order (the "First 

Motion") in connection with his testimony (which was subsequently denied (without prejudice) as 

moot, on April 9, 2018). 

4. As this Court is aware, on May 9, 2018, before any Order was ever entered by the 

Court relating to the April 3

rd and April 6

111 proceedings, Plaintiff filed its Motion for 

Reconsideration and/or Motion to Reopen the Testimony. 

5. Thereafter, on May 30, 2018, this Court issued an Order specially setting a hearing 

for 2 days on June 27 and June 28, 2018, relating to the Motion for Reconsideration and/or Motion 

to Reopen the Testimony. 

6. Accordingly, since Plaintiff was previously unable to complete Gibson's 

deposition, Plaintiff filed its Notice of Taking Continued Deposition of Robert Gibson ("Notice") 

on June 6, 2018, scheduling Gibson's deposition for June 12, 2018. 

7. Notwithstanding the Notice, Gibson did not appear for his deposition. Accordingly, 

on June 7, 2018, Plaintiff filed its Motion to Compel and for Status Conference. A true and correct 

copy of the Motion to Compel is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" 

8. Thereafter, following a status conference, the Court entered an Order determining 

that "[a]ny findings by the Court on the merits of the case were not conclusive and are hereby 

vacated and stricken." (emphasis added). A true and correct copy of the Order is attached hereto 

as Exhibit "B." 

9. On August 16, 2018, Defendant Sovereign Gaming & Entertainment, LLC 

01282200000510111589! _ I 

2 

Case 19-01298-MAM Doc 40-4 Filed 09/23/19 Page 2 of 20
CASE NO.: 502016CAO l2892XXXXMB 

("Sovereign") noticed Gibson for a deposition on September 11, 2018. On September 10, 2018, 

the day before the scheduled deposition, Gibson filed another Verified Motion for Protective Order 

(the "Second Motion") and, once again, did not appear for his deposition. 

10. On September 18, 2018, this Court addressed Gibson's Second Motion and entered 

an Order requiring Gibson to attend his previously scheduled deposition on October 16, 2018. 

According to said Order, "Mr. Gibson a Non-Party shall be properly subpoenaed for Deposition 

October 16, 2018." A true and correct copy of the Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "C." 

11. Following Sovereign's Notice of Taking Deposition, Plaintiff filed its Cross-Notice 

of Taking Deposition of Robert Gibson ("Notice") on October 15, 2018, scheduling Gibson's 

deposition for October 16, 2018, pursuant to this Court's Order executed on September 18, 2018, 

ordering Gibson to appear for his deposition on October 16, 2018. 

12. Despite Gibson having been formally served with a Subpoena for Deposition for 

his deposition by Sovereign, Gibson failed to appear and once again, filed another Motion for 

Protective Order (the "Third Motion"). 

13. The Third Motion was heard by this Court on October 24, 2018 and was denied. A 

true and correct copy of the Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "D." 

14. On December 3, 2018, Plaintiff served Gibson with a Notice of Taking Deposition 

scheduling his deposition for December 18, 2018. A true and correct copy of the Return of Service 

is attached hereto as Exhibit "E." 

15. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on December 17, 2018, the day before his 

scheduled deposition, Gibson, for the fourth time, filed a Motion for Protective Order (the "Fourth 

Motion"). 

16. Plaintiff has been materially prejudiced Gibson's conduct and he should be 

012822 000005/01135898 I 

3 

Case 19-01298-MAM Doc 40-4 Filed 09/23/19 Page 3 of 20
CASE NO.: 502016CA0!2892XXXXMB 

sanctioned in the form of attorneys' fees and costs for his failures to comply with Court Orders 

and validly issued subpoenas. In addition, in light of Gibson's continued improper conduct, the 

Fiore Defendants should not be able to rely on his testimony in support of their position(s) in this 

matter. 

17. Clearly, Gibson's conduct of now having filed four separate Motions for Protective 

Order should not be tolerated by this Court. 

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff ZOKAITES PROPERTIES, LP respectfully requests that this 

Court enter an Order for contempt and sanctions against Non-Party ROBERT GIBSON, including 

preventing the Fiore Defendants from utilizing Non-Party ROBERT GIBSON as a witness in this 

case due to his continued failures to adhere to Court Orders and validly issued Subpoenas, together 

with such other relief as this Court may deem just and proper.
