2. You must file and serve this Informal Discovery Conference Form no later than 15 court days prior
to the IDC. The opposing party may file and serve a responsive IDC Form, briefly setting forth that
party’s response, at least 10 court days prior to the IDC.
3. Briefly describe the discovery dispute (information requested and/or the basis for objection) in the
space provided below (do not add extra pages):
Plaintiffs have met and conferred with Defendants since July 14, 2021 on being provided verifications to discovery
previously responded to by Defendant Armando Rodriguez Banda. Defendants refuse to provide verifications.
Unverified responses are tantamount to no responses at all. (See Appleton v. Superior Court (1988) 206 Cal.App.3d
632, 636, citing Zorro Inv. Co. v. Great Pacific Securities Corp. (1977) 69 Cal.App.3d 907, 914.). Therefore, Plaintiffs
moved ex-parte to compel verifications on September 30, 2021. The Court denied it on the grounds that it must be a
noticed motion. Subsequently, trial was continued to February 1, 2022 and fact discovery was re-opened so Plainiffs
seek an informal discovery conference pursuant to the Local Rules for verified responses prior to filing its motions.
Currently, the following discovery by Armando Rodriguez Banda is unverified:
• Defendant Armando Rodriguez Banda’s Responses to Demands for Production, Set One;
• Defendant Armando Rodriguez Banda’s Amended Responses to Demands for Production, Set Two;
• Defendant Armando Rodriguez Banda’s Responses to Form Interrogatories, Set One;
• Defendant Armando Rodriguez Banda’s Further Responses to Form Interrogatories, Set One;
• Defendant Armando Rodriguez Banda’s Responses to Form Interrogatories, Set Four;
• Defendant Armando Rodriguez Banda’s Responses to Special Interrogatories, Set One;
• Defendant Armando Rodriguez Banda’s Further Responses to Special Interrogatories, Set One;
• Defendant Armando Rodriguez Banda’s Responses to Supplemental Responses to Special Interrogatories, Set Three
