Case Number: BC714780 Hearing Date: May 07, 2019 Dept: 2

Plaintiff’s Three (3) Motions to Compel Responses to Form Interrogatories, Special Interrogatories, and Request for Production of Documents from Defendant, Ralph Ray Construction; Request for Sanctions, filed on 3/11/15, are GRANTED.

Defendant, Ralph Ray Construction, is ordered to provide verified responses to all discovery without objections within ten (10) days. Cal Code Civil Procedure § 2031.300, §2030.290. Untimely responses result in a waiver of objections. Cal Code Civil Procedure §2030.290(a), § 2031.300(a).

Imposition of sanctions against Defendant is warranted for Defendant’s failure to submit to an authorized method of discovery. Cal. Code Civil Procedure § § 2030.290(c), § 2031.300(c), and § 2023.030(a).

Plaintiff’s Motion for Order Deeming Admitted Truth of Facts and Genuineness of Documents; Request for Sanctions, filed on 3/11/19, is GRANTED. The Requests for Admission are deemed admitted against Defendant, Ralph Ray Construction.

Imposition of sanctions is mandatory where a party’s failure to respond necessitates the motion. Cal. Code Civil Procedure § 2033.280. Accordingly, total sanctions of $1,740 are imposed against Defendant, Ralph Ray Construction, and counsel, Peter Wucepich, for all four motions. Such sanctions are payable within thirty (30) days.

Moving party is ordered to give notice.
