Case No.: BC657866

Hearing Date: March 21, 2018

[TENTATIVE] order RE:

(1) Motion to compel defendant world private security, inc.’s further responses to first set of requests for production of documents

(2) Motion to compel defendant world private security, inc.’s further responses to first set of Special interrogatories

Plaintiff George Terry (“Plaintiff”) moves to compel Defendant World Private Security, Inc. (“Defendant”) to provide further responses to requests for production of documents, set one, and special interrogatories, set one.

The moving party on a motion to compel further responses to requests for production (“RFPs”) must submit “specific facts showing good cause justifying the discovery sought by the inspection demand.” (CCP § 2031.310(b)(1).) If the moving party has shown good cause for the RFPs, the burden is on the objecting party to justify the objections. (Kirkland v. Sup. Ct (2002) 95 Cal. App. 4th 92, 98.)

The responding party has the burden of justifying the objections to the form interrogatories (“FIs”) and special interrogatories (“SIs”). (Coy v. Sup.Ct. (1962) 58 Cal.2d 210, 220-221.) Objecting parties must file evidence detailing the amount of work involved, in order to support objections based upon burden and oppression. (West Pico Furniture Co. v. Sup. Ct. (1961) 56 Cal. 2d 407, 417.)

This is a wage and hour action. Plaintiff’s requests for production seek time and wage records, payroll data, and other documents relevant to potential Labor Code violations. These documents are clearly relevant to Plaintiff’s claims. As such, there is good cause for their productions.

Defendant does not oppose the motion to justify its objections to Plaintiff’s requests for production or special interrogatories. Plaintiff does not request sanctions. Accordingly, the motions are GRANTED.
