Case Number: BC698210 Hearing Date: December 17, 2019 Dept: 2

Doustar v. Elchibegian

Defendants’ Three (3) Motions to Compel Plaintiff’s Responses to Form Interrogatories, Set One; Special Interrogatories, Set One; and Request for Inspection and Production of Documents, Set One; Request for Sanctions are GRANTED.

Plaintiff, Kioumars Doustar, is ordered to provide verified responses without objections to the foregoing discovery within 15 days.

Imposition of sanctions against Plaintiff and her counsel, Jeffrey A. Lamb, Esq., is warranted for the failure to timely respond to authorized methods of discovery, which is discovery abuse. Cal Code Civil Procedure §2023.010(d).

Defendants’ Motion to Deem Requests for Admission Admitted and Request for Sanctions is GRANTED. The Requests for Admission served on Plaintiff are deemed admitted.

Imposition of sanctions is mandatory where a party’s failure to respond necessitates the motion. Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 2033.280.

Accordingly, the court imposes total sanctions of $820.00 for all four motions against Plaintiff and her counsel, Jeffrey A. Lamb, Esq.

Moving party is ordered to give notice.
