DEFENDANTS’ RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS TO
PLAINTIFF’S FIRST SET OF REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION

Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26 and 34, and the Local Civil Rules
for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Defendants Robinhood
Markets, Inc., Robinhood Financial LLC, and Robinhood Securities, LLC (collectively,
“Defendants”) hereby submit the following responses and objections (“Responses”) to Lead
Plaintiff Blue Laine-Beveridge, named Plaintiffs Abraham Huacuja, Ava Bernard, Brandon
Martin, Brendan Clarke, Brian Harbison, Cecilia Rivas, Garland Ragland Jr., Joseph Gurney,
Santiago Gil Bohórquez, and Trevor Tarvis (collectively “Plaintiffs”) First Set of Requests for
Production (“Requests”) in the above-captioned litigation (“Action”).
Defendants provide these Responses, and any document produced in response to
the Requests, without waiver of or prejudice to (i) their right at any later time to raise objections
as to the relevance, materiality, privilege, work-product character or admissibility as evidence,
for any purpose, of (a) the Requests or any part thereof, (b) statements made in these Responses
to the Requests or any part thereof, or (c) any information disclosed and/or any documents
produced as part of Defendants’ Responses to the Requests or any part thereof; (ii) their right to
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA   Document 587-1   Entered on FLSD Docket 08/07/2023   Page 2 of 19

2
object to the use of any of the documents produced in response to these Requests in any
subsequent proceedings or the trial of this Action or any other action; or (iii) their right to object
on any ground at any time to a demand for further response to these Requests or other discovery
requests in this Action.  Any response, objection or agreement to search for documents in
response to any Request is not an acknowledgment or concession that the documents sought exist
or that such information or documents are either relevant or admissible.
Defendants reserve the right to amend or supplement these Responses to the
Requests from time to time as appropriate in accordance with the Federal Rules.
GENERAL OBJECTIONS

The General Objections set forth below apply to the Requests generally and to the
Definitions, Instructions and the Individual Requests set forth therein. Unless otherwise stated,
the General Objections shall have the same force and effect as if set forth in full in response to
each Definition, Instruction and Request. Any agreement to search for, or provide documents in
response to, any Request is made subject to the General Objections.
1.
Defendants object to the Requests, and the Instructions and Definitions set forth
therein, to the extent they are contrary to, or purport to impose obligations on Defendants beyond
those required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules for the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Florida (together, the “Applicable Rules”).
2.
Defendants object to the Requests to the extent they call for the production of
information or documents protected from discovery by the attorney-client privilege, the attorney
work-product doctrine, or any other applicable privilege or protection. Defendants hereby claim
such privileges and protections to the extent that they are implicated by the Requests, and
Defendants exclude privileged or protected information and documents from their Responses.
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA   Document 587-1   Entered on FLSD Docket 08/07/2023   Page 3 of 19

3
Any disclosure of privileged or protected information or documents by Defendants is inadvertent
and is not intended as a waiver of, and shall not waive, any such privilege or protection, and
Defendants reserve the right to demand the return of all copies of any such document(s)
inadvertently produced in response to the Requests.
3.
Defendants object to the Requests to the extent they purport to call for the
production of documents that are outside Defendants’ possession, custody, or control; that are
in the possession of third parties; or that are obtainable from a source that is more convenient,
less burdensome, or less expensive, including publicly-available information. Defendants will
not search publicly-available information, including court dockets and websites, in responding
to the Requests.
4.
Defendants object to each Request to the extent that it contains no limitation on
the time period, or incorporates an excessive time period, for which responsive information is
sought and therefore is overbroad, unduly burdensome, oppressive, not relevant to the claims or
defenses asserted in the pending Action, and not proportional to the needs of this case.
5.
Defendants object to the Requests to the extent they seek documents concerning
allegations dismissed by the Court’s August 11, 2022 Order on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss
(ECF No. 503).
6.
Defendants object to Lead Plaintiffs’ definition of “Relevant Time Period” in the
Requests, as it goes well beyond the putative Class Period and relevant period of the claims and
defenses in this Action. Unless otherwise specified in response to a specific request, in
responding to the Requests, Defendants will produce information or documents based on a
reasonable search for documents between January 1, 2021 and February 28, 2021.
7.
Defendants object to the Requests as overbroad and unduly burdensome and not
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA   Document 587-1   Entered on FLSD Docket 08/07/2023   Page 4 of 19

4
proportional to the needs of this case to the extent that they call for the identification and
production of “all,” “each,” or “any and all” documents or communications, including
information and documents that are not relevant to the claims or defenses of any party.
8.
Defendants object to the Requests to the extent that they seek documents other
than those that can be located upon a reasonable search of files where responsive documents
reasonably can be expected to be found. Unless otherwise stated, Defendants will limit their
search for documents responsive to the Requests, if any, to a mutually agreed upon search
protocol, which will include, as appropriate, search terms, date ranges, custodians, and/or
separate searches of other repositories.
9.
Defendants object to the Requests to the extent they purport to impose
obligations on Defendants beyond those as stipulated in the Parties’ Stipulated Order Regarding
ESI Protocol and Format of Productions (ECF No. 441); Stipulated Rule 502(d) and Privileged
Materials Order (ECF No. 442); and Stipulated Protective Order (ECF No. 443).  Defendants
will conduct the search and production of documents responsive to the Requests in accordance
with such stipulations.
10.
Defendants object to the Requests as overbroad, unduly burdensome and not
proportional to the needs of this case, including because there is substantial overlap between
documents responsive to Plaintiffs’ Requests and the material produced by Defendants to
regulators. To avoid burdensome and duplicative productions, to the extent documents
contained in the regulatory productions satisfy a Request, and such documents are produced to
Plaintiffs in response to Request Nos. 4-6, and/or in connection with the Court’s June 3, 2021
Order (ECF No. 323), Defendants will only produce such documents once in connection with
those re-productions.
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA   Document 587-1   Entered on FLSD Docket 08/07/2023   Page 5 of 19

11.
Defendants object to the Requests’ definition of the term “Alleged Omissions
and Half-Truths” because the statements identified in Paragraphs 62 and 63 of the Complaint do
not contain actionable omissions and are not “half-truths” as alleged in the Complaint.
12.
Defendants object to the Requests’ definition of the term “Email” to the extent it
purports to impose any obligation on Defendants to search particular “personal computing
devices, smartphones, [or] tablets” not used by potential custodians in the regular course of
business.
13.
Defendants object to the Requests’ definition of the terms “Employee” as vague
and ambiguous, overbroad, unduly burdensome and not proportional to the needs of this case.
For purposes of responding to these Requests, Defendants will construe “Employee” to refer to
individuals employed by Robinhood, and will exclude from the definition agents or
representatives who are not directly employed by Robinhood.
14.
Defendants object to the Requests’ definition of the terms “Financial Statements”
as vague and ambiguous as to the terms “budget plans,” “commentary” and “workpapers,” and
as overbroad, unduly burdensome and not proportional to the needs of this case to the extent this
definition includes “all notes or other commentary” and “all underlying work papers and all
drafts” related to Financial Statements.
15.
Defendants object to the Requests’ definition of the term “Instant Messages” as
duplicative or cumulative of the definition of “Text Messages.”
16.
Defendants object to the Requests’ definition of the terms “Regard,” “regarding,”
“refer,” “referring,” “relate,” relating,” “pertain,” or “pertaining” as vague and ambiguous and
as overbroad, unduly burdensome and not proportional to the needs of this case to the extent this
definition includes documents that “implicitly refer to” or were “reviewed in conjunction with”
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA   Document 587-1   Entered on FLSD Docket 08/07/2023   Page 6 of 19

6
the “subject matter of the Request.”
17.
Defendants object to the Requests’ definition of the term “Restriction Period” on
the grounds that terms in this definition such as “first imposition” and “lifting” are vague and
ambiguous.  Defendants further object to this definition as overbroad, unduly burdensome and
not proportional to the needs of this case to the extent this definition includes “any form of
restriction,” and to the extent this definition does not include a specific time period.
18.
Defendants object to the Requests’ definition of the term “Robinhood” as
overbroad, unduly burdensome and not proportional to the needs of this case to the extent this
definition includes “partners” and “affiliates” of Robinhood.  Defendants will construe the
definition of the term “Robinhood” to mean Robinhood Markets, Inc., Robinhood Financial
LLC and Robinhood Securities, LLC.
19.
Defendants object to Instruction No. 1 as overbroad, unduly burdensome and
not proportional to the needs of this case to the extent it purports to include documents that
“refer[] or relate[]” to events within “any relevant timeframe,” regardless of the date of
creation.  Unless otherwise stated, Defendants agree to produce documents within the Relevant
Period as defined herein.
20.
Defendants object to Instruction No. 2 as overbroad, unduly burdensome and
not proportional to the needs of this case and beyond the scope and obligations required by the
Applicable Rules, to the extent it requires the production of documents that Defendants “have
the ability or right to secure” that are not otherwise in the possession, custody or control of
Defendants.  Defendants further object to Instruction No. 2 to the extent it specifically requires
Defendants to produce documents from Robinhood’s “affiliates,” “partners,” “accountants,”
“representatives” and “agents.”
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA   Document 587-1   Entered on FLSD Docket 08/07/2023   Page 7 of 19

21.
Defendants object to Instruction No. 6 to the extent it purports to impose
obligations on Defendants beyond those in the Stipulated Rule 502(d) and Privileged Materials
Order (ECF No. 442), ¶ 15.
22.
Defendants object to Instruction No. 8 to the extent it purports to impose
obligations on Defendants beyond those in the Stipulated Order Regarding ESI Protocol and
Format of Productions (ECF No. 441), which governs both “the production of relevant
electronically stored information and hard copy documents.”  Defendants further object to
Instruction No. 8 to the extent it purports to impose obligations on Defendants that are
inconsistent with those in the Stipulated Protective Order (ECF No. 443), ¶ 12.5.
23.
Defendants object to the Instructions to the extent they purport to require the
production of documents that contain personally identifiable information.
