The Judge's Oath
Discovery

I discuss discovery extensively in my book, especially the way many judges turn it into a charade.
TIP: Always ask for discovery to be delivered on a read only drive, mailed to your location. Do NOT accept discovery delivered from the attorney's online drive/cloud. Another approach is to confirm that the content provided to you over the attorney's cloud, create an excel sheet and make your opposition confirm that it is correct. Other wise even if a document may have a bates number, how can you prove what the document actually is. The attorney can claim it was something else later. Attorneys LIE so you need solutions.
ANOTHER APPROACH is to ensure that discovery you receive from an attorney's cloud - online - with a time limited link is actually 'bate' marked. You can use AI and other tools to do this analysis.
In my case with Stefan Jacobson from Perg O'Donnell and Gillett in Portland, Oregon, in response to a discovery request, I downloaded the evidence in the form of photos and video, and much of it is NOT "bate" marked, which makes it unusable.
Here is what attorney Aaron Hisel provided with Bates Numbers. Bat numbers should exist on the photos and videos because when the attorney expects you to download it from their cloud with a time limited link. Otherwise, it's not usable later.
A BATES MARK is a unique number placed on evidence produced during litigation. For example, an attorney might produce documents labeled: BERG000001, BERG000002, etc. But even if there are bates numbers how do you prove what document is related to what number once the time limited link that attorney provides to you is gone?
The number identifies an item for discovery. If a video, photograph, PDF, or other electronic file is produced, the Bates identifier may appear as an overlay, filename, metadata field, or separate production index, depending on how the evidence was produced. Bates numbering allows everyone to identify which piece of evidence they are discussing in a court trial or hearing.
Disappearing Evidence by Perg O'Donnell and Gillett: In state court, which I dismissed because I felt Judge Martin Stone was too biased - denying my motion to compel discovery and even a pre-trial hearing, when I requested discovery related to my neighbor's intrusive light, I received more than ten one-minute videos showing only the exterior of the light fixture from attorney Evan Aronson at #PergO'DonnellandGillett in Portland Oregon
When I complained about the inadequacy of this evidence, it was deleted. This was possible because the materials were delivered to me online from the attorney's 'cloud,' which allowed them to alter or remove the files after “delivery.” The link provided was time limited. I filed multiple motions for discovery and Judge Stone frustrated each one, never granting me the right for any meaningful discovery.
