ANALYSIS:
Background
On September 14, 2020, Plaintiff Financial Partners Credit Union (“Plaintiff”) filed an action against Jaime Brown (“Defendant”). Defendant filed a general denial on October 14, 2020, in pro per.
Plaintiff filed the instant Motion to Deem Matters Admitted (the “Motion”) on February 10, 2021. No opposition has been filed.
Legal Standard & Discussion
A. Requests for Admission
A party must respond to requests for admissions within 30 days after service of such requests. (Code Civ. Proc., § 2033.250, subd. (a).) “If a party to whom requests for admission are directed fails to serve a timely response…(a) [that party] waives any objection to the requests, including one based on privilege or on the protection for work product…” (Code Civ. Proc., § 2033.280, subd. (a).) “The requesting party may move for an order that the genuineness of any documents and the truth of any matters specified in the requests be deemed admitted, as well as for a monetary sanction under Chapter 7.” (Id. at subd. (b).) A motion dealing with the failure to respond, rather than with inadequate responses, does not require the requesting party to meet and confer with the responding party. (Deymer v. Costa Mesa Mobile Home Estates (1995) 36 Cal.App.4th 393, 395, fn. 4 [disapproved on other grounds in Wilcox v. Birtwhistle (1999) 21 Cal.4th 973]. There is no time limit within which a motion to have matters deemed admitted must be made. (Brigante v. Huang (1993) 20 Cal.App.4th 1569, 1585.)
Plaintiff’s counsel served Defendant with Requests for Admission, Set One, on November 10, 2020 via regular mail. (Mot., Elder Decl., ¶ 4, Exh. A.) Although not statutorily required, Plaintiff’s counsel sent Defendant a letter regarding the missing responses on January 6, 2021. (Id. at ¶ 6, Exh. B.) As of the date this Motion was filed, Defendant had not served any responses to Plaintiff’s discovery. Thus, Plaintiff is entitled to an order deeming the Requests for Admission, Set One, admitted against Defendant. (Code Civ. Proc., § 2033.280.)
Conclusion & Order
For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff Financial Partners Credit Union’s Motion to Deem Requests for Admission Admitted is GRANTED.
Moving party is ordered to give notice.
