Defendant propounded form interrogatories, set two and RFAs, set one on Plaintiff on 9/11/19. To date, Plaintiff has not served responses. Defendant therefore seeks an order compelling Plaintiff to respond, without objections, to the outstanding interrogatories, deeming the RFAs admitted, and imposing sanctions.

Defendant’s motion to compel is granted. Plaintiff is ordered to serve verified responses to form interrogatories, set two, without objections, within ten days. CCP §§2030.290(a),(b).

Defendant’s motion to deem RFAs, set one admitted is also granted. CCP §2033.280(b).

Sanctions are mandatory. §§2030.290(c), 2033.280(c). Defendant seeks sanctions in the amounts of $720 (RFAs) and $180 (interrogatories). The amounts are 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 its attorney of record, in the total amount of $900, within twenty days.

Defendant is ordered to give notice.
