    1 EXAMINATION

    2 BY MR. HANSEN:

    3 Q Would you state your name and address, please.

    4 A Lisa Schwager, 410 South Antler Street, Gladwin, Michigan,

    5 48624.

    6 Q And you're a member of the Gladwin School Board?

    7 A Correct.

    8 Q And how long have you been a member?

    9 A Since May of 2010, I believe.

    10 Q You know Mr. Caffrey here?

    11 A Um-hum.

    12 Q Have you ever met him before?

    13 A Before I was on the Board?

    14 Q Before today.

    15 A Yes. We went to the same church, Sacred Heart Church.

    16 Q Have you had any conversations with him in the past two

    17 years?

    18 A If it was like seeing him on the street or seeing him

    19 somewhere, maybe hi, how are you. Probably nothing more

    20 than that.

    21 Q Have you had any conversations concerning school business or

    22 anything else of that nature?

    23 A No.

    24 Q Do you have any fear of him?

    25 A No.

    1 Q Were you aware that a motion for protective order was being

    2 filed in this matter?

    3 A Was I aware?

    4 Q Yes.

    5 A I don't recall that, no.

    6 Q Now, on December 24th there was a special meeting of the

    7 Board of Education?

    8 A Yes.

    9 Q Do you remember that meeting?

    10 A I remember there being one, yes. The morning of, yes.

    11 Q And what was the purpose of that meeting?

    12 A If I recall correctly, it was to approve some documents that

    13 we had to have in a time -- certain time frame.

    14 Q Okay. And that had to do with some legal filings in this

    15 case?

    16 A I believe so.

    17 Q And you went into closed session, is that right?

    18 A Right.

    19 Q And the minutes indicate that you seconded the resolution to

    20 go into closed session. Do you recall doing that?

    21 A I don't recall, but I'm pretty confident if the minutes said

    22 so, then -- then I more than likely did.

    23 Q But you don't have a specific memory of doing that.

    24 A No.

    25 Q Who took the minutes that day, do you know?

    LISA SCHWAGER - May 29, 2013

    1 A I don't recall. Usually it's our secretary.

    2 Q Mr. Withrow?

    3 A Mr. Withrow.

    4 Q And he takes the notes, is that right?

    5 A Yes.

    6 Q Do you know what he does with those notes afterwards?

    7 A No -- I mean, I -- I could say I assume what he -- I -- he

    8 does but I don't know for sure. Usually they go right to --

    9 to Julie and then she types them up.

    10 Q She types them up, right?

    11 A That's what I recall it as.

    12 Q Now, part of the minutes indicate that you resolved to

    13 authorize Mr. Wallace to represent you and to pursue certain

    14 counterclaims, is that right?

    15 A I don't recall. What does it say --

    16 Q Here, I'll show you the minutes. It's down there towards

    17 the bottom.

    18 A Um-hum. Okay.

    19 Q So, by that resolution, you were authorizing Mr. Wallace to

    20 file a counterclaim on your behalf against Mr. Caffrey, is

    21 that right?

    22 A Against these case numbers, correct.

    23 Q Right.

    24 A Um-hum.

    25 Q And prior to the meeting did you read the counterclaim?

    7/23

    Mid-Michigan Reporting LLC (989)835-9171

    LISA SCHWAGER - May 29, 2013

    1 A I don't recall.

    2 Q After the meeting did you do so?

    3 A I don't recall.

    4 Q Prior to voting do you recall ever having read the

    5 counterclaim?

    6 A We -- we usually do read them when we come to the meeting.

    7 We have a certain time frame where we can read over, um-hum.

    8 Q And did that happen in this meeting, do you recall?

    9 MR. WALLACE: I'm going to object. There's no

    10 discussion about what happened in the closed session.

    11 Don't answer that question. Attorney/client privilege.

    12 MR. HANSEN: I'm not asking about the closed

    13 session. I'm asking whether or not she had a time period to

    14 read it before the closed session.

    15 A I don't recall. Usually that's what we do, but I don't

    16 specifically recall.

    17 Q Okay. Now, there's some language in there towards the end

    18 that says "in any other matters" or something to that

    19 effect. Do you see that? It's at the end of the resolution

    20 there.

    21 A "And any others as applicable", yes.

    22 Q What does that refer to?

    23 A Any other matters concerning these two case numbers.

    24 Q Okay. It's not some other lawsuits or anything else like

    25 that.

    8/23

    Mid-Michigan Reporting LLC (989)835-9171

    LISA SCHWAGER - May 29, 2013

    1 A Some other lawsuit? No; it should be right to those two,

    2 "and any others as applicable".

    3 Q Now, when the first lawsuit was filed in this matter, that

    4 concerned the FOIA requests for phone bills and details and

    5 that type of thing, do you recall that?

    6 A I do recall something about them, yes.

    7 Q The Board never met concerning that, did it?

    8 A I don't recall.

    9 Q Okay. Do you recall having any deliberations whatsoever

    10 concerning that lawsuit?

    11 A As a Board?

    12 Q Yes.

    13 A I don't recall.

    14 Q Did you have any conversations with any Board members or Mr.

    15 Seebeck concerning that case?

    16 A I don't recall.

    17 Q Did the Board ever authorize Mr. Seebeck to notify the

    18 insurance company?

    19 A Concerning?

    20 Q Defending that action, that first case.

    21 A Did we ever -- repeat your question again.

    22 Q Did the Board ever vote to authorize Mr. Seebeck to contact

    23 the insurance company to provide a defense in that case?

    24 A I don't recall.

    25 Q So you don't remember any conversations concerning that case

  • 7/27/2019 Schwager, Lisa Deposition

    9/23

    Mid-Michigan Reporting LLC (989)835-9171

    LISA SCHWAGER - May 29, 2013

    1 whatsoever one way or another?

    2 A Correct.

    3 Q Do you think it would be likely that there would have been

    4 discussions about that case?

    5 MR. WALLACE: Form and foundation and you're

    6 asking the witness to speculate. The question has been

    7 asked and answered.

    8 Q You can answer.

    9 A Repeat the question again, please.

    10 Q Well, you're being sued, okay? The school system's being

    11 sued, okay? You've already indicated that, in other

    12 matters, you normally would read pleadings or something, you

    13 know, there would be a time for doing that.

    14 A Um-hum.

    15 Q Do you think it would be likely in this case that you would

    16 have had conversations about this lawsuit?

    17 MR. WALLACE: Form and foundation. The question

    18 has been asked and answered.

    19 Q You can answer.

    20 A It would be likely that we did because we usually have that

    21 time frame.

    22 Q Okay. But you don't have any specific memory of it.

    23 A No.

    24 Q Now, in the counterclaim that you filed against Mr. Caffrey,

    25 you claim that he libeled you and slandered you.

    10/23

    Mid-Michigan Reporting LLC (989)835-9171

    LISA SCHWAGER - May 29, 2013

    1 A Me personally?

    2 Q Yes.

    3 A Well, I know that he has -- well, family members of his

    4 have. He directly to me?

    5 Q Yes.

    6 A No.

    7 Q Did he make any false statements, oral statements, to any

    8 third parties that you are aware of?

    9 A I don't recall.

    10 Q And did he make any written statements that were false

    11 statements about you to anybody?

    12 A I don't recall that.

    13 Q You've also sued him for intentional infliction of mental

    14 distress, okay? And you claim that his conduct towards you

    15 was extreme and outrageous and atrocious.

    16 What were you referring to?

    17 A Well, I would believe that would be referring to all the

    18 FOIA requests, and, for instance, the one where I had to

    19 print any e-mails that I had between Mr. Seebeck and myself,

    20 which -- and I tend to keep everything, and it took me quite

    21 a few hours to print everything for a certain time frame

    22 that he wanted. I believe it was like October to December

    23 or something. I'm not even sure of the exact dates. But it

    24 took a lot of personal time.

    25 Q Okay. And people have a right to make FOIA requests?

    11/23

    Mid-Michigan Reporting LLC (989)835-9171

    LISA SCHWAGER - May 29, 2013

    1

    1 A Absolutely.

    2 Q Okay. So do you find that to be extreme and outrageous and

    3 atrocious conduct, to ask for certain things?

    4 A The number of FOIA requests is a bit extreme but --

    5 Q The one that I'm referring to --

    6 MR. WALLACE: Please let her answer.

    7 Q I'm referring to --

    8 A Well --

    9 Q -- the one that you're talking about.

    10 A It was a bit extreme, I felt, yes.

    11 Q And why was that extreme?

    12 MR. WALLACE: It wasn't a FOIA request, counsel.

    13 Please don't confuse the record.

    14 MR. HANSEN: I thought that's what she said. She

    15 said that she was requested to turn over her e-mails.

    16 MR. WALLACE: It was a discovery request.

    17 Q It was a discovery request?

    18 A I was asked to turn over certain e-mails from a certain time

    19 frame, is what I'm referring to.

    20 Q By whom?

    21 A It was a FOIA request that Mr. Seebeck had asked all of us

    22 Board members if we kept e-mails, any e-mails between the

    23 School, himself, which I do. I keep all my e-mails.

    24 Q Okay.

    25 A So those are the ones that took me quite a number of hours

    12/23

    Mid-Michigan Reporting LLC (989)835-9171

    LISA SCHWAGER - May 29, 2013

    1

    1 to print and turn them in.

    2 Q But under the law he's entitled to those, correct?

    3 A Correct.

    4 Q You just didn't like the fact that you had to put them all

    5 together, right?

    6 A Well, it took a lot of time.

    7 Q I mean, that's why you were upset about it, the amount of

    8 time you had to spend, right?

    9 A Correct.

    10 Q You've also accused him of willful and wanton misconduct.

    11 What are you referring to there?

    12 A I don't recall.

    13 Q You've also accused him of abusing process in this case.

    14 What are you referring to there?

    15 MR. WALLACE: Form and foundation. That's a legal

    16 term of art that you know relates to improperly filing

    17 multiple lawsuits.

    18 Q Do you know what you're referring to?

    19 MR. WALLACE: Go ahead and answer if you can, if

    20 you understand the question.

    21 A I don't understand your question.

    22 Q Well, you've sued him for abuse of process; you understand

    23 that.

    24 A Um-hum.

    25 Q Yes?

    13/23

    Mid-Michigan Reporting LLC (989)835-9171

    LISA SCHWAGER - May 29, 2013

    1

    1 A Yes.

    2 Q You have to answer yes so she can record it.

    3 And you've made certain allegations there, you know.

    4 What do you base these allegations on?

    5 A I believe we're basing them on, just from the very

    6 beginning, all the number of FOIA requests and all the

    7 information that they're asking for, and then coming to the

    8 Board meetings and recording them, which I know is

    9 absolutely fine, they can do that, but that just seemed

    10 automatically to start, well, recently, the past few months.

    11 It's like why didn't they come a year ago and record, come

    12 to the Board meetings before all this even started? Nobody

    13 did. Sharman never did.

    14 Q And so you don't --

    15 A And that's what I don't understand. If they're interested

    16 in coming now and recording, they should have been

    17 interested two years ago and recording.

    18 Q Well, there has to be a starting point sometime, doesn't

    19 there?

    20 A (No response.)

    21 Q I mean, why not five years ago or ten years ago?

    22 A Exactly, um-hum.

    23 Q Do you find that offensive, to have them recording the --

    24 A No, no. Not at all.

    25 Q On the 24th did you consider any legal written opinion?

    14/23

    Mid-Michigan Reporting LLC (989)835-9171

    LISA SCHWAGER - May 29, 2013

    1

    1 A I don't recall.

    2 Q And was Mr. Wallace there?

    3 A It does not say he was there, no.

    4 Q Was any other attorney there?

    5 A No.

    6 Q One of the things that's part of this lawsuit is FOIA

    7 requests and also Open Meetings Act requests concerning

    8 proposed minutes. Do you understand that?

    9 A Um-hum.

    10 Q Were you aware that there's a difference between proposed

    11 minutes and approved minutes?

    12 A Yes. We get minutes; we have to approve them at the Board

    13 meeting, --

    14 Q Right. And for --

    15 A -- and they're draft until --

    16 Q I'm sorry?

    17 A They're draft until we approve them.

    18 Q Okay. Let's call "proposed" and "draft" the same things,

    19 okay?

    20 A Okay.

    21 Q And I'll refer to it as "draft", okay?

    22 A Okay.

    23 Q Are you aware that the Open Meetings Act requires that draft

    24 minutes have to be provided eight working days after the

    25 meeting?

    Mid-Michigan Reporting LLC (989)835-9171

    LISA SCHWAGER - May 29, 2013

    1

    1 A No, I was not aware.

    2 Q You understand that's what this lawsuit is all about, is the

    3 failure to turn over these minutes according to the law.

    4 A Correct.

    5 Q Do you find any problem with that?

    6 A No.

    7 Q We've heard a lot of testimony about how the Board has never

    8 talked about that first lawsuit, never deliberated that

    9 first lawsuit or anything else.

    10 Is that actually true, that nobody ever talked about

    11 that lawsuit with each other or anything else?

    12 MR. WALLACE: Form and foundation. You've asked

    13 multiple questions.

    14 Q Is it really true that nobody ever talked about that

    15 lawsuit?

    16 A I don't recall if we did or not.

    17 Q Are there a lot of lawsuits against the school so this is

    18 one of so many that you're not aware of the contents of it?

    19 A No; we may have a few lawsuits, but it's not something we

    20 spend day in and day out conversing amongst ourselves about.

    21 Q Well, would it be unreasonable for the Board to discuss the

    22 merits of the claim to decide how to resolve it?

    23 MR. WALLACE: Form and foundation.

    24 You can answer if you can.

    25 A Okay, I -- I don't recall if we ever spent a lot of time

    16/23

    Mid-Michigan Reporting LLC (989)835-9171

    LISA SCHWAGER - May 29, 2013

    1

    1 discussing this amongst ourselves.

    2 Q You could have discussed it; you just don't have specific

    3 recollection?

    4 A Correct.

    5 Q I'm going to show you Seebeck Exhibit 2 and ask you to read

    6 Definitions B(1). Just read it to yourself.

    7 A Okay.

    8 Q Now, from your reading of that, the definition of "member"

    9 is the School District or the School Board, is that fair?

    10 MR. WALLACE: I'm going to object. The document

    11 speaks for itself and is as written.

    12 Q Is that your understanding?

    13 MR. WALLACE: Form and foundation.

    14 Answer if you can, please.

    15 A "Member means the School District" is what it says.

    16 Q Now, if you agreed -- on the next page or two pages from

    17 there, I believe it is, I guess it's three, there at the

    18 bottom of the Page 3 and then on the next page, I believe --

    19 is that 3 or 2, please?

    20 A 3(a).

    21 Q Yes.

    22 A Okay.

    23 Q So it's the member then that is supposed to notify the

    24 insurance company, is that right?

    25 A "Written notice to the pool", what is "the pool" referring

    Mid-Michigan Reporting LLC (989)835-9171

    LISA SCHWAGER - May 29, 2013

    1

    1 to?

    2 Q That's probably the insurance pool but --

    3 A So what was your question again?

    4 Q The question is: It's the member that's supposed to do the

    5 notifying, correct?

    6 MR. WALLACE: Same objection, and the contract

    7 speaks for itself.

    8 A Um-hum.

    9 Q That's a yes?

    10 A Yes. "The member shall give immediate written notice to the

    11 pool of any claim made against a member."

    12 Q And that would be the School District, right?

    13 A Correct, I believe.

    14 Q Did the Board ever authorize Mr. Seebeck to notify the

    15 insurance company?

    16 A We had given him our okay years ago to -- to do what he felt

    17 was necessary, yes.

    18 Q Necessary on what?

    19 A On behalf of the School concerning lawsuits.

    20 Q Do you recall when that was?

    21 A No, I do not recall when. I don't have the document.

    22 MR. WALLACE: Also, I'd indicate that you have

    23 that document.

    24 MR. HANSEN: The document that -- of the

    25 authority?

    1 MR. WALLACE: Yes, sir.

    2 MR. HANSEN: Is this the one you're referring to

    3 (indicating)?
