Case Number: BC646246 Hearing Date: May 10, 2018 Dept: 19

Plaintiff Retail Capital LLC’s Motions to Compel Further Responses to: 1) Demand for Production of Documents, Set One; 2) Special Interrogatories, Set One; and 3) Request for Admissions, Set One are GRANTED. The request for sanctions is granted in part.

Defendants Toros Onik Yeranosian, dba S and T Petroleum (“Defendants”) is ordered to serve further verified responses to each discovery request without objections within 20 days. The Court finds that Defendants have engaged in abuse of the discovery process by failing to sufficiently respond in good faith to valid discovery requests with complete answers, and failing to meet and confer. (Code of Civil Procedure section 2023.010(d), (f) and (i)). The Court also finds that Defendants failed to respond to Plaintiff’s Counsel’s detailed meet and confer letter dated December 12, 2017.

Monetary sanctions in the amount of $760 for each motion are awarded to Plaintiff against Defendants Toros Onik Yeranosian dba S and T Petroleum (jointly and severally) for reasonable expenses incurred, payable within 20 days to Plaintiff’s counsel of record. The Court finds sanctions warranted and justified, but reduced in light of no opposition being filed. Total sanctions awarded is $2,250.
