DAVILA (“Plaintiffs”) will, and hereby does, move for an order to: (l) strike Defendant General
Motors, LLC’s (“Defendant”) meritless objections and compel further responses to Plaintiffs’
Requests for Production of Documents, Set One, Nos. 1, 3, 7, 17, 23, 24, 25, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41,
42, 43, 44, 45, 50, 51, 52, 53, 58, 59, 68, 76, 78, 79, 86, and 91 (collectively, the “Requests”);
\OOOQQ
(2) produce all responsive documents corresponding to those Requests; and (3) for monetary
10 sanctions.
11 This Motion is made pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure sections 2031 .310,
12 128(a)(4), and 2023.030(a), on the grounds that Defendant has failed to provide adequate
13 responses to Plaintiffs’ Requests, which seek documents directly relevant to their Song-Beverly
14 Consumer Warranty Act claims, and failed to meet and confer with Plaintiffs in good faith.
15 Specifically, Plaintiffs allege that their 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicle, which was
16 manufactured and distributed by Defendant, suffers from widespread defects—including the
17 Transmission Defects—and that Defendant has been unable to repair the vehicle within a
18 reasonable number of attempts. Plaintiffs also allege that Defendant knew that the vehicle suffered
19 from prevalent defects, but nevertheless refused to repurchase the vehicle in willful violation of
20 the Song-Beverly Act. Plaintiffs further allege that Defendant knew that the vehicle and its
21 transmission, among other things, are defective and susceptible to sudden, premature, and
22 catastrophic failure, but failed to disclose this fact to Plaintiffs at the time of sale and thereafter.
23 Accordingly, the Requests seek documents relating to Defendant’s internal investigation
24 and analysis ofthe Defects plaguing Plaintiffs’ vehicle and establishing that Defendant previously
25 knew 0f such Defects but nevertheless refused to repurchase the vehicle.
26 T0 prove these allegations, Plaintiffs requested the following categories of documents
27 (some of which may overlap):
