MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
KELLY, District Judge.Plaintiff has submitted to the Court a motion to compel the production of documents addressed to the defendant, defendant responded and oral argument was heard. Defense counsel objected to seven of the eight requests as extremely broad and irrelevant to the subject matter. I am granting plaintiff’s motion as to request number four limited herein and denying the motion as to the other requests. The request for an award of counsel fees for the filing of this motion pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 37(a)(4) is denied.
Courts have held that objections to discovery requests must be specific and supported by an explanation. In re Folding Carton Antitrust Litigation, 83 F.R.D. 260 (N.D.Ill.1979). The test for determining whether material is discoverable is relevancy. Roesberg v. Johns-Mansville, 85 F.R.D. 292, 296 (E.D.Pa.1980). Weahkee v. Norton, 621 F.2d 1080, 1082 (10th Cir.1980).
Plaintiff’s document requests numbered one, two, three1 are not relevant to this action because the complaint has been dismissed as' to co-defendant Racal-Electron*419ics, Ltd. They are therefore denied. Roesberg, 85 F.R.D. at 296.
Document request number four2 is limited to the time period relevant to the action, i.e., November 1979 to February 1983. The question asks for personal notes kept by members of the Board of Directors of Racal-Vikonics, Inc. (Vikonics). The plaintiff requests such because the President of Vikonics, John Kaufman, mentioned his own notes in a deposition relevant to this action. (Kaufman Deposition Transcript p. 150). Mr. Kaufman’s notes are relevant and discoverable, however, there is no assurance that other Board members retained such notes. Thus, they are not known to exist and as such are not discoverable material. Interrogatories should be sent to the other Board members to elicit the existence of such notes. The facts and circumstances of this case determine and limit relevance. Shang v. Waldorf Astoria Corp., 77 F.R.D. 468, 469 (S.D.N.Y.1978).
Document request number five3 defendant claims has been answered. If plaintiff has any other documents in mind a specific request for such must be made. The requirement that requests be definite is satisfied when it is clear of what documents) the request is made, e.g., invoices or service reports or purchase orders. Struthers Scientific and International Corp. v. General Foods Corp., 45 F.R.D. 375, 379 (S.D.Tex.1968). In request five it is not.
Document request number six, seven and eight4 are inconclusive as to the time period in question and broad and vague as to subject matter. “... the District Court should not neglect their power to restrict discovery where justice requires (protection for) a party ... (from) oppression or undue burden or expense. With this authority at hand, Judges should not hesitate to exercise appropriate control over the discovery process.” Herbert v. Lando, 441 U.S. 153, 99 S.Ct. 1635, 60 L.Ed.2d 115 (1979). In Peck v. U.S., 88 F.R.D. 65 (1980), the plaintiff requested “All documents reflecting or referring to any or all reports by the task force. The Court stated that, “(P)laintiff has not identified what documents it seeks to discover through that portion of its request ... nor has plaintiff provided us with any basis for concluding that such documents exist.” Peck, 88 F.R.D. at 73. For these reasons requests six through eight are denied.
