Case Number: BC625985 Hearing Date: April 12, 2018 Dept: 19

Defendants’ Motion to Compel Further Supplemental Responses to Form Interrogatories (Employment), Set Two is GRANTED.

Plaintiff is ordered to provide further and verified supplemental responses without objections to Form Interrogatory 204.2, within 20 days of service of this order. However, claims of attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product are appropriate if Plaintiff provides a privilege log.

The Court finds Plaintiff’s arguments unreasonable and unpersuasive, and further finds that Plaintiff has engaged in the abuse of the discovery process for failing to properly respond to a valid method of discovery by asserting unmeritorious objections and opposing this motion without substantial justification. (CCP section 2023.010(e), (f) and (h). ) Sanctions are warranted against Plaintiff in the amount of $3,560 and awarded to Defendants for reasonable expenses incurred for this motion, payable within 20 days to Defendants’ counsel of record. (CCP section 2023.030). Order signed this date.

Counsel for moving party to give notice.
