Case Number: BC659122 Hearing Date: October 28, 2019 Dept: 2

Avalos v. Mercier

Defendant’s Two Motions for Order compelling Plaintiff to Answer Supplemental interrogatories, Set Two; and Supplemental Demand for Production of Documents and Things, Set Two; or in the Alternative to Exclude Evidence; Request for Sanctions filed on 10/2/19, are GRANTED.

While Plaintiff maintains that verified responses were served by facsimile on 10/10/19, there is no documentary evidence provided.

Plaintiff, Maurice Avalos, is ordered to serve verified responses to the foregoing discovery without objections within 10 days. Cal Code Civ Procedure §2030.290(b).

Imposition of sanctions totaling $523.30 against Plaintiff, Maurice Avalos, and counsel, Johnny P. Ogata, is warranted for the failure to timely respond to authorized methods of discovery, which is discovery abuse. Cal Code Civil Procedure § 2023.010(d).

Moving party is ordered to give notice.
