[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: DEFENDANTS TRI-PACIFIC TERMITE COMPANY, JOHN MCCAULEY, AND CARLO COVINO’S MOTION TO BIFURCATE

Dept. 27

1:30 p.m.

August 12, 2022

Under the Personal Injury Court system, this case will be tried by a Court other than the instant Court. The trial Court rules on motions in limine and motions to bifurcate. Defendants’ Motion is similarly a motion which should be ruled on by the judge who will preside over trial in this matter. Thus, Defendants’ motion is denied without prejudice.

Defendants are instructed to renew this Motion with the trial judge.

Moving party to give notice.

Parties who intend to submit on this tentative must send an email to the Court at SSCDEPT27@lacourt.org indicating intention to submit on the tentative as directed by the instructions provided on the court website at www.lacourt.org. Please be advised that if you submit on the tentative and elect not to appear at the hearing, the opposing party may nevertheless appear at the hearing and argue the matter. Unless you receive a submission from all other parties in the matter, you should assume that others might appear at the hearing to argue. If the Court does not receive emails from the parties indicating submission on this tentative ruling and there are no appearances at the hearing, the Court may, at its discretion, adopt the tentative as the final order or place the motion off calendar.

[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO COMPEL PLAINTIFF’S RESPONSES TO WRITTEN DISCOVERY; REQUEST FOR MONETARY SANCTIONS

Dept. 27

8:30 a.m.

April 13, 2021

On March 17, 2017, Plaintiff Arthur Y. Wada (“Plaintiff”) filed this action against Defendants Tri-Pacific Termite Company, John McCauley, and Carlo Covino (collectively, “Defendants”) arising from a March 17, 2015 motor vehicle v. bicycle collision.

On August 4, 2020, Defendants served Requests for Admissions, Set Two; Form Interrogatories, Set Two; Special Interrogatories, Set Two; and Requests for Production of Documents, Set Two.  On August 17, 2020, Plaintiff served objections.  On October 1, 2020, Defendants filed these Motions to compel and deem admitted. 

Defendants moves to compel Plaintiff’s responses and deem admitted on the grounds that no verified responses have been received.  However, objections do not need to be verified as they are distinct from discovery responses.  (See, e.g., Code Civ. Proc., ; 2030.250.)  A response composed solely of objections, as in this case, need not be verified by the party. (Blue Ride Ins. Co. v. Superior Court (19988) 202 Cal.App.3d 339, 344-345.)  Accordingly, Defendants’ Motions are DENIED.  To the extent Defendants challenge the validity of Plaintiff’s objections, these motions are to be construed as motions to compel a further response, which are premature as the parties have not participated in an Informal Discovery Conference as required by the Court’s First Amended Standing Order Re: PI Court Procedures (2/24/2020). 

Accordingly, the hearings are taken off-calendar until Defendants schedule and attend an IDC.  If the issues are not resolved at the IDC, Defendants may re-file the Motions and indicate that they were previously filed within the time to bring a motion to compel a further response.   

Moving party to give notice.

Parties who intend to submit on this tentative must send an email to the Court at SSCDEPT27@lacourt.org indicating intention to submit on the tentative as directed by the instructions provided on the court website at www.lacourt.org.  

Dated this 13th day of April 2021

Hon. Edward B. Moreton, Jr.

Judge of the Superior Court
