Mr. Esebag shall produce all financial records, including, but not limited to financial statements, profit and loss statements, tax returns, bank statements, and general ledgers, for ULG from January 1, 2020, to the present. It is determined that the objections to Request for Production No. 24 are OVERRULED IN PART and SUSTAINED IN PART. Mr. Esebag shall produce all statements from any financial account in which he has an interest, including, but not limited to, bank accounts, investment accounts, and retirement accounts, from January 1, 2020 to the present. It is determined that the objections to Request for Production No. 25 are OVERRULED IN PART and SUSTAINED IN PART. Mr. Esebag shall produce all financial documents that he has provided to any bank, lender, or other provider of credit from January 1, 2020, to the present, which include any statement(s) or information as to his financial condition. It is determined that the objections to Request for Production No. 26 are OVERRULED IN PART and SUSTAINED IN PART. Mr. Esebag shall produce any and all statements of his net worth at any time from January 1, 2020, to the present. It is determined that the objections to Request for Production No. 4 (Third Set) are OVERRULED IN PART and SUSTAINED IN PART. Mr. Esebag shall produce all documents that he intends to use at the trial as to the claim for punitive damages. Burden of Proof on Punitive Damages: The Gyde Group has the burden of proof by clear and convincing evidence, as to Mr. Esebags current financial condition. Thus, "a plaintiff who seeks to recover punitive damages must bear the burden of establishing the defendants financial condition. A defendant should not be required to justify the amount of the award he or she is seeking to avoid." Adams v. Murakami, 54 Cal. 3d 105, 123 (1991). However, "[a] defendant is in the best position to know his or her financial condition, and cannot avoid a punitive damage award by failing to cooperate with discovery orders. A number of cases have held that noncompliance with a court order to disclose financial condition precludes a defendant from challenging the sufficiency of the evidence of a punitive damages award on appeal." Fernandes v. Singh, 16 Cal. App. 5th 932, 942 (2017) (collecting cases). In light of these standards, and the prior Order issued on August 9, 2019 by Magistrate Judge Oliver (Dkt. #87 ) with respect to, inter alia, Requests for Production 24 and 25, a failure by Mr. Esebag to make sufficient, good-faith efforts to comply with this Order, may result in the issuance of an instruction to the jury as to the evidence that Mr. Esebag has provided, and the evidence that he has not provided, with respect to his current financial condition.
