16-CIV-02255 MARGARET WILLEMS VS. ASHA JADEJA, ET AL.

MARGARET WILLEMS ASHA JADEJA
JEFFREY M CURTISS MARYAM MALEKI

MOTION OF DEFENDANTS ASHA JADEJA AND ARNA, LLC TO COMPEL FURTHER RESPONSES TO REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION TENTATIVE RULING:

Defendants ASHA JADEJA and ARNA, LLC’s Motion to Compel Further Responses to Requests for Production of Documents is DENIED as untimely pursuant to Code Civ. Proc. § 2031.310(c). Defendants assert that they had an extension of time through October 23, 2018 to file this motion (Motion at p. 3:21-23), but there is no supporting evidence to demonstrate that such an extension was in place. Even if Defendants were granted an extension through October 23, 2018, their moving papers were not filed until October 26, 2018, and thus the motion is untimely.

If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the Court. Thereafter, counsel for Plaintiff shall prepare a written order consistent with the Court’s ruling for the Court’s signature, pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1312, and provide written notice of the ruling to all parties who have appeared in the action, as required by law and the California Rules of Court.

MOTION OF DEFENDANTS ASHA JADEJA AND ARNA, LLC TO COMPEL FURTHER RESPONSES TO INTERROGATORIES TENTATIVE RULING:

Defendants ASHA JADEJA and ARNA, LLC’s Motion to Compel Further Responses to Interrogatories is DENIED as untimely pursuant to Code Civ. Proc. § 2030.300(c). While Defendants assert that they had an extension of time through October 23, 2018 to file this motion (Motion at p. 3:19-22), their counsel’s declaration fails to demonstrate that such an extension was in place, whether by assertion or by attaching a copy of a written agreement with Plaintiff. Moreover, even if an extension through October 23, 2018 existed, the moving papers were not filed until October 26, 2018, and thus the motion is untimely.

If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the Court. Thereafter, counsel for Plaintiff shall prepare a written order consistent with the Court’s ruling for the Court’s signature, pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1312, and provide written notice of the ruling to all parties who have appeared in the action, as required by law and the California Rules of Court.
