Defendant Lusine Hovhannisyan is ordered to provide responses to Requests for Production of Documents, without objection, and to permit inspection and copying, within ten days.

Monetary sanctions sought are DENIED, as the notice of motion does not clearly identify each party against whom sanctions are sought.

Plaintiff has failed to serve timely responses substantially complying with the provisions of CCP § 2033.220 prior to the hearing on this motion. The court therefore orders that all matters specified in the Requests for Admissions Propounded to Plaintiff Lusine Hovhannisyan, Set One, are deemed admitted as true, pursuant to CCP § 2033.280.

BACKGROUND:
Moving Party: Defendants Shahik Mardiross and Medick Mardiross

Responding Party: Plaintiff Lusine Hovhannisyan (No Opposition)

OPPOSITION:
No opposition

ANALYSIS:
Interrogatories and Document Demands
In this case, interrogatories and document production demands have been directed to plaintiff and plaintiff has failed to provide timely responses. Defendants have appropriately moved for an order to compel. Accordingly, plaintiff has waived any option to produce, as well as all objections, and is hereby ordered to respond.

Requests for Admissions
In this case, requests for admissions were served on plaintiff, timely responses have not been served, and defendants have filed this motion. Plaintiff has failed to serve timely responses, and has therefore waived all objections. Defendants have filed a noticed motion requesting an order that the requests be deemed admitted as truth. Unless a satisfactory response is served before the hearing, the court must grant the motion.
