Matter on the Discovery Calendar for Thursday, Jul-25-2024, Line 5, PLAINTIFF AASHISH THITE'S, AN INDIVIDUAL, Motion To Compel Further Responses To Plaintiff'S Request For Production Of Documents, Set Two. Pro Tem Judge William Lynn, a member of the California State Bar who meets all the requirements set forth in CRC 2.812 to serve as a temporary judge, has been assigned to hear this motion. Prior to the hearing all parties to the motion will be asked to sign a stipulation agreeing that the motion may be heard by the Pro Tem Judge. If all parties to the motion sign the stipulation, the hearing will proceed before the Judge Pro Tem who will decide the motion with the same authority as a Superior Court Judge. If a party appears by telephone, the stipulation may be signed via fax or consent to sign given by email. If not all parties to the motion sign the stipulation, the Pro Tem Judge will hold a hearing on the motion and, based on the papers submitted by the parties and the hearing, issue a report in the nature of a recommendation to the Dept. 302 Judge, who will then decide the motion. If a party does not appear at the hearing, the party will be deemed to have stipulated that the motion will be decided by the Pro Tem Judge with the same authority as a Superior Court Judge. The Pro Tem Judge has issued the following tentative ruling: Parties to appear, hearing required. For the 9:00 a.m. Discovery calendar, all attorneys and parties are required to appear remotely.

FCS058678 Defendants/cross-complainants’ motions to deem matters admitted and for sanctions TENTATIVE RULING Defendants/Cross-Complainants Ian Welter and Jennifer Welter bring 3 motions to deem matters admitted as follows: 1) Motion to Deem Requests for Admission, Set One, Admitted as to Charles Littlefield individually and dba All Bay Builder [sic]; 2) Motion to Deem Requests for Admission, Set One, Admitted against Plaintiffs/Cross- Defendants All Bay Builders, Inc. and 3) Motion to Deem Requests for Admission, Set Two, Admitted against Plaintiffs/Cross- Defendants All Bay Builders, Inc. The Complaint in this matter was filed on August 22, 2022. On February 3, 2023, Defendants filed their Answer and Cross-Complaint. A Notice of Acknowledgment and Receipt was executed by Plaintiff Charles Littlefield individually and dba All Bay Builder counsel on March 27, 2023. No Proof of Service or Notice of Acknowledgment and Receipt is contained in the court file as to Plaintiff All Bay Builders, Inc. On May 8, 2023 a Substitution of Attorneys was filed as to plaintiff/cross-defendant “All Bay Builders”. Plaintiff’s counsel Elizabeth Lawley substituted out of the case and All Bay Builders was named the successor legal representative. No new attorney has substituted into the case on behalf of any of the plaintiffs/cross-defendants. One of the cross-defendants is a corporation and must be represented by an attorney. On June 21, 2023, counsel for Defendants/Cross-Complainants requested the entry of default as to All Bay Builders, Inc. and Charles Littlefield, individually and dba All Bay Builder [sic]. The defaults were entered as to Plaintiffs/Cross-Defendants. Page 2 of 3 On December 8, 2023 Defendants/Cross-Complainants served Requests for Admission, Set One on All Bay Builders, Inc. On February 6, 2024 Defendants/Cross- Complainants served Requests for Admission, Set Two on All Bay Builders, Inc. On February 6, 2024 Defendants/Cross-Complainants served Requests for Admission, Set One on Charles Littlefield individually and dba “All Bay Builder” on February 6, 2024. No responses have been received to any of the requests for admission. On June 12, 2024 the instant motions were filed. Counsel for the moving parties has not provided any authority upon which she relies for the principle that a defaulted party can be compelled to respond to discovery served more than 5 months after his or their defaults were taken. Once the clerk enters a default in the court record, that defendant is no longer able to file a response or otherwise participate in the case. It is unclear why discovery was not served on defendants while they were still represented or before their defaults were taken. It is equally unclear why defendants, after losing their rights to file pleadings or defend their position, should be forced to respond to discovery. All three motions are denied. Sanctions are denied. Page 3 of 3

20CV01351 CHINA TIANJIU INT’L RESOURCES GRP LTD v. KWAN et al. (UNOPPOSED) PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO BE RELIEVED The unopposed motion to be relieved is granted. Plaintiff is ordered to immediately secure successor counsel, since a business entity party cannot proceed in pro per. Notice to prevailing parties: Local Rule 2.10.01 requires you to submit a proposed formal order incorporating, verbatim, the language of any tentative ruling – or attaching and incorporating the tentative by reference - or an order consistent with the announced ruling of the Court, in accordance with California Rule of Court 3.1312. Such proposed order is required even if the prevailing party submitted a proposed order prior to the hearing (unless the tentative is simply to “grant”). Failure to comply with Local Rule 2.10.01 may result in the imposition of sanctions following an order to show cause hearing, if a proposed order is not timely filed.
