- Tentative ruling adopted and becomes order:;
DEFENDANT, SOLOMON SHA'S MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY RESPONSES FROM PLAINTIFF SWEET
PRODUCTION, INC., DEEMING OBJECTIONS WAIVED, MONETARY SANCTIONS AND TERMINATING
SANCTIONS.
Defendant Solomon Sha's motion to compel responses to discovery is DENIED.
The motion is untimely, being set for hearing less than 15 days before the initial trial date. Moving party
correctly points out that a Court may hear a motion beyond that deadline. That discretion, however,
must be on the motion of a party to hear an untimely motion. (Pelton-Shepherd Indus., Inc. v. Delta
Packaging Prod., Inc. (2008) 165 Cal. App. 4th 1568, 1586-87; Code of Civ. Proc. Sect. 2024.050, subds.
(a) & (b)(1), (2).)Defendant Sha brought no such motion.
Even if Defendant Sha contends that the present motion falls within section 2024.050(a), the motion
does not demonstrate that it satisfies the statutory meet-and-confer requirement on the issue of
hearing this motion after the statutory deadline. (Pelton-Sheperd, supra, at 1586-87; Code of Civ. Proc.
Sect. 2024.050, subd. (a).)
Finally, the previous motion was denied in part because it did not include any proof of service showing
service of the underlying discovery. The present motion asserts that the Proof of Service is included this
time. (Moving Declaration of Miclean, para. 10 & Exhibit C.) Exhibit C does not include any proof of
service of the underlying discovery.
The motion by Defendant Sha for sanctions is DENIED.
