BC640698 SERGIO MIRALDA VS HENG SHENG INC.
Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Deposition of Defendant Chris Wu and for Sanctions
TENTATIVE RULING: The motion is granted. Wu is ordered to appear for deposition within 15 days at a time and place designated by plaintiff. The court orders defendant Chris Wu and her former attorney Shun C. Chen APLC, jointly and severally, to pay plaintiff sanctions of $3997.50.
Defendant Wu’s address of record with the court is in Chatsworth, in Los Angeles County. There was no substantial justification for demanding her deposition occur in Taiwan.
Plaintiff has established that he served a notice of deposition, and made substantial efforts to meet and confer to obtain a mutually acceptable date, without result. (Code Civ. Proc., § 2025.450, subds. (a), (b).) Any defect in service of the declaration in support of the motion was waived by addressing it on the merits.
The motion is granted. Wu is ordered to appear for deposition within 15 days at a time and place designated by plaintiff. The court orders defendant Chris Wu and former attorney Shun C. Chen APLC, jointly and severally, to pay plaintiff sanctions of $3997.50.

Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Motion to Be Relieved as Counsel
TENTATIVE RULING: The motion is granted. Service of the order should be mailed to Lin’s last known address.
It appears that Lin has willfully abandoned defense of this action by declining to provide any way to contact him. Should he decided to defend against his case, there is time before trial, which is set in six months and Lin can represent himself in propria persona.
The motion is granted.
