Valarie Tafoya-Sevey vs. Stephen W. Griswold, Jr.

Nature of Proceeding: Motion for Terminating and Monetary Sanctions

Filed By: Umipeg, Gareth J.

Defendant’s motion for terminating and further monetary sanctions against plaintiff for failing to comply with this court’s earlier order compelling plaintiff’s responses to written discovery is UNOPPOSED and is GRANTED as follows.

Without plaintiff’s responses to defendant’s discovery, defendant is effectively precluded from preparing his defense to this lawsuit and preparing for trial. Accordingly, the court finds that imposing terminating sanctions against plaintiff will under the circumstances here not result in a windfall to the moving party and plaintiff’s complaint is hereby dismissed.

The court declines to award defendant further monetary sanctions.

Pursuant to CRC Rule 3.1312, moving party to submit a proposed judgment of dismissal as to plaintiff’s complaint.
