Code of Civil Procedure section 2025.270(d) states:
On motion or ex parte application of any party or deponent, for good cause shown, the court may shorten or extend the time for scheduling a deposition....
Plaintiff’s requests for terminating, issue, or evidentiary sanctions and a daily preemptive fine is denied. The court would have ordered defendant to pay monetary sanctions, had plaintiff asked. Defendant shall give notice. Motion to Compel PMK Deposition Plaintiff’s motion to compel PMQ deposition is denied. The deposition notice was untimely. (See Code Civ. Proc., §§ 2025.270, subd. (a) [10 days prior to deposition], 2016.050, 1013, subd. (a) [5 days’ extension for service by mail]; see also Ex. 1.)

Defendants also rely on CCP § 2025.270 (d), which states: “(d) On motion or ex parte application of any party or deponent, for good cause shown, the court may shorten or extend the time for scheduling a deposition or may stay its taking until the determination of a motion for a protective order under Section 2025.420.” These motions were evidently never made to preserve the right to take the depositions after counsel for defendants voluntarily did not proceed with them.

Instead, Corona argues that this motion should be denied because Plaintiff failed to (1) timely serve the deposition notice and (2) comply with this motion’s meet-and-confer requirement. Both points are well-taken. First, “[a]n oral deposition shall be scheduled for a date at least 10 days after service of the deposition notice.” (CCP § 2025.270.)
