Tentative Rulings
Case Number: 17STLC03072 Hearing Date: January 09, 2020 Dept: 94
MOTION TO COMPEL RESPONSES TO INTERROGATORIES, REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION; REQUEST FOR SANCTIONS
(CCP §§ 2030.290; 2031.300)
TENTATIVE RULING:
Defendants Cristian Sandoval and Roberto Valesquez’s (1) Motion For Order Compelling Plaintiff Cinthia Vasquez Rodriguez To Respond to Form Interrogatories; Request for Sanctions; and (2) Motion For Order Compelling Plaintiff Cinthia Vasquez Rodriguez to Respond to Request for Production of Documents; Request For Sanctions are GRANTED.
PLAINTIFF IS ORDERED TO PAY SANCTIONS OF $490.00 TO DEFENSE COUNSEL WITHIN 30 DAYS OF SERVICE OF NOTICE OF THIS ORDER.
SUMMARY OF COMPLAINT: Action for motor vehicle negligence.
GROUNDS FOR MOTION: The Court should compel Plaintiff to provide verified responses to the interrogatories and document demands, without objections. (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 2030.290; 2031.300.) Also, the Court should sanction Plaintiff for failing to serve responses to said discovery. Sanctions are sought in the amount of $1,210.38 per motion. [Counsel charges $185.00 per hour].
ANALYSIS:
Plaintiff Cinthia Vasquez Rodriguez (“Plaintiff”) filed the instant action for motor vehicle negligence against Defendants Cristian Sandoval and Roberto Valesquez (“Defendants”) on October 13, 2017. On April 30, 2019, Defendants served Form Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents on Plaintiff. (Motions, Rush Decl. ¶6 and Exh. A.) To date, Defendant has not received any verified responses to the propounded discovery requests from Plaintiff. (Id. at ¶¶10-11.)
Due to the failure to respond to the propounded discovery requests, Plaintiff is ordered to serve verified responses, without objections, to Defendants’ Form Interrogatories and Request for Production within twenty (20) days from the date of Defendant serving a notice of this Order. (See Code Civ. Proc., §§ 2030.290; 2031.300.) Monetary sanctions are also awarded under Code of Civil Procedure sections 2030.290 and 2031.300. Given the simplicity of the Motions and the lack of opposition and reply, the Court finds that sanctions are appropriate in the amount of $490.00 based on two hours of attorney time billed at $185.00 per hour, plus two filing fees of $60.00 each. (Motions, Rush Decl., ¶12.) Sanctions are to be paid within thirty (30) days from the date of Defendants serving notice of this Order.
Defendants Cristian Sandoval and Roberto Valesquez’s (1) Motion For Order Compelling Plaintiff Cinthia Vasquez Rodriguez To Respond to Form Interrogatories; Request for Sanctions; and (2) Motion For Order Compelling Plaintiff Cinthia Vasquez Rodriguez to Respond to Request for Production of Documents; Request For Sanctions, are GRANTED.
Moving party to give notice.
