“[O]n a seasonable motion to suppress the deposition, accompanied by a meet and confer declaration under Section 2016.040, the court may determine that the reasons given for the failure or refusal to approve the transcript require rejection of the deposition in whole or in part.” (Code Civ. Proc., § 2025.520.)
Rule 5-220 states that an attorney shall not suppress evidence that he or his client has a legal obligation to produce. Lawyers are subject to discipline for participating in the suppression or destruction of evidence. (Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 6106, 6077; Rules Prof. Conduct, rule 5-220 (member shall not suppress evidence member has legal obligation to reveal or produce).)
The court has the inherent power to “provide orderly conduct of proceedings before it, or its officers” and to “amend and control its process and orders so as to make them conform to law and justice.” (Id., § 128.)
“Our discovery statutes are designed to ascertain the truth, not suppress it.” (Advanced Modular Sputtering, Inc. v. Super. Ct. (Mishin) (2005) 132 Cal.App.4th 826, 837.) “Any doubt about discovery is to be resolved in favor of disclosure.” (Id.; see also Perlan Therapeutics, Inc. v. Super. Ct. (Nexbio, Inc.) (2009) 178 Cal.App.4th 1333, 1346-1347, citing and discussing Advanced Modular, supra, 132 Cal.App.4th 835-837.)
There is a general rule against enjoining public officers or agencies from performing their duties. This rule would not preclude a court from enjoining unconstitutional or void acts, but to support a request for such relief the plaintiff must make a significant showing of irreparable injury.” (Tahoe Keys Property Owners' Assn., supra, 23 Cal.App.4th at 1471.)

Rulings on Evidentiary Objections The Court DECLINES to rule on all of the parties’ objections because "the court need rule only on those objections to evidence that it deems material to its disposition of the motion." (CCP § 437c(q).). In this regard, Saddleback’s Objection No. 8 (page 15 of ROA 2642) to the Patel Declaration is sustained as to the phrase “and others representing 5th Rock T-12” on the grounds of hearsay and otherwise is overruled.

“Generally speaking, a legislative action is the formulation of a rule to be applied to all future cases, while an adjudicatory act involves the actual application of such a rule to a specific set of existing facts.” (Strumsky v. San Diego County Employees Retirement Assn. (1974) 11 Cal.3d 28, 34, fn. 2; see also N.T. Hill v. City of Fresno (1999) 72 Cal.App.4th 977, 987.) The City’s adoption of the Resolution is a legislative action, as it is the formulation of a rule to be applied in all future cases.
