This motion is made on the grounds that Defendants Michael Hunter Gray (“Gray”), Lasha Efremidze (“Efremidze”) (together, “Defendants”), and their attorney, Michael Baranov (“Baranov”), have delayed producing responsive documents to Plaintiff and have misled Plaintiff about the limited volume of responsive documents in their possession, custody, or control. After delaying producing discovery for over one month, Gray produced more than 212,000 documents one week before the close of discovery, and three days before his deposition. In addition to its size, the documents are also replete with technical errors, and also do not include documents from Gray’s personal email account, which had been demonstrated to contain responsive documents. For his part, Efremidze did not produce a single document, even though other parties produced responsive documents that were sent to his personal email accounts, to which he still has access. This motion is based on the accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities and the Declaration of Conor B. McDonough. Moreover, this motion is made following no less than four meet and confers with counsel for Michael Hunter Gray and Lasha Efremidze, with one as recent as January 21, 2019, and two separate Informal Discovery Conferences with Magistrate Judge Segal.
