Matter on the Discovery Calendar for Friday, July 19, 2024, line 4, DEFENDANT QUENTIN COTILLARD, AN INDIVIDUAL NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION TO COMPEL FURTHER RESPONSE TO FORM INTERROGATORY NO. 15.1 AND REQUEST FOR MONETARY SANCTIONS (PART 3 OF 3 TENTATIVE RULING) Cotillard's challenges to the listing of individuals and documents amount, in large part, to a complaint that "there must be more than that". Notwithstanding Cotillard's skepticism, Loomis has identified the persons upon whom he will rely and listed documents that he will use in support of his claims, denials and affirmative defenses, such as they are. Since it appears Loomis/cross-defendant have abandoned their previous (and insufficient) response that, as paraphrased, "you can find the facts in the emails and accounting records", there is no good cause to compel further responses to No. 15.1's second prong. That portion of the pending motion is DENIED. On the subject of sanctions, Loomis and cross-defendant did not have substantial justification for first ignoring and then refusing to provide responses to No. 15.1's first prong, as set forth above. Accordingly, sanctions are GRANTED in the amount of $2,100.00, half of the requested amount reflecting half of the motion to compel being granted and half denied. Sanctions are awarded against cross-defendant and Loomis jointly and severally and are payable within 15 days of the date of the order memorializing these rulings. Counsel for Cotillard is directed to prepare a form of proposed order consistent with the foregoing and submit it to psw@hassard.com for review and signature. For the 9:00 a.m. Discovery calendar, all attorneys and parties are required to appear remotely. Hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom. To appear at the hearing, go to the court's website at sfsuperiorcourt.org under "Online Services," navigate to "Tentative Rulings," and click on the appropriate link (DISCOVERY, DEPARTMENT 302 DAILY AT 9:00 A.M.), or dial the corresponding number and use the meeting ID, and password for Discovery Department 302. Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to psw@hassard.com with a copy to all other parties by 4pm stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests. The subject line of the email shall include the line number, case name and case number. If the tentative ruling is not contested, the parties are deemed to have stipulated to the Pro Tem hearing the motion and the Pro Tem will sign an order confirming the tentative ruling. The prevailing party is required to prepare a proposed order repeating verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must e-mail it to the Judge Pro Tem. The court no longer provides a court reporter in the Discovery Department. Parties may retain their own reporter, who may appear remotely. A retained reporter must be a California certified court reporter (CSR), for only a CSR's transcript may be used in California courts. If a CSR is being retained, include in your email all of the following: their name, CSR and telephone numbers, and their individual work email address.
