MARK CRAWFORD,

Plaintiff(s),

vs.

EVAN ARTHUR GORDON, ET AL.,

Defendant(s).

CASE NO: BC698561

[TENTATIVE] ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S UNOPPOSED MOTIONS TO COMPEL

Dept. 3

1:30 p.m.

October 30, 2019

Defendant propounded form interrogatories, special interrogatories, and RPDs on Plaintiff on 5/17/19. To date, despite multiple attempts to meet and confer, Plaintiff has not served verified responses (Plaintiff served untimely unverified responses on 8/16/19). Defendant therefore seeks an order compelling Plaintiff to provide verified responses, without objections, to the outstanding discovery and to pay sanctions.

Defendant’s motions are granted. Plaintiff is ordered to serve verified responses to form interrogatories, special interrogatories, and RPDs, without objections, within ten days. CCP §§2030.290(a),(b), 2031.300(a),(b).

Sanctions are mandatory. §§2030.290(c), 2031.300(c). Defendant seeks sanctions in the amounts of $585 (form interrogatories) and $235/motion (special interrogatories and RPDs). The Court finds all amounts reasonable and fully supported by Defense Counsel’s declaration. The request for sanctions is granted in full.

Sanctions are sought and imposed against Plaintiff and his attorney of record, jointly and severally; they are ordered to pay sanctions to Defendant, by and through counsel of record, in the total amount of $1055, within twenty days.

Defendant is ordered to give notice.
