Special interrogatory number 46read as follows: “Please state what fact or facts you currently are aware of that form the basis for the allegations set forth in YOUR answer that plaintiff Nguyenwas negligent and careless and did not use due, proper or appropriate care for his safety.”
Thirty-five days after the special interrogatories were served,Hanes, through his counsel,responded to this interrogatory as follows: “Objection. Defendant Hanes will not state all facts upon which he bases her allegation because this would unfairly limit him from relying on other facts or evidence which might subsequently come to his knowledge.”
One week after you received Hanes’ responses, you sent a meet and confer letter to his counsel, John Johnson. In the letter, you informed Johnson that the objection to special interrogatory number 46was without merit. In your letter, you requested that Hanes provide furthera further response. You asked that Johnson respond to your letter within 10 days. He ignored your letter and never responded.
