BACKGROUND
This is action to quiet title to a parcel of real property. A thirty year old deed of trust
securing a $ 25,000 note clouds the title to the subject property. The two payees on the note
are deceased. Of their five known heirs, all have been served; four have defaulted, the
remaining heir, Patricia Kelch, is the defendant to which the subject discovery is directed.
Mr. Sanchez, a prior owner of the property, and one of the makers of the note that
clouds the title has made a declaration under penalty of perjury that the note was paid in
full; a copy of which declaration was provided to Mrs. Kelch. In response to discovery,
Mrs. Kelch now claims that the note was never satisfied.
The basis for the present discovery is to determine all facts/evidence, that supports
her claim that the note was not fully satisfied..
DISPUTED DISCOVERY RESPONSE
Form Interro atories Set Two
10 Mrs. Kelch's response to the Form Interrogatories, Set 2, Question 17.1 (b) as it
applies to her response to Request for Admission, Set 0 II, Request 418 is non-responsive,
12 evasive, and incomplete.
To wit:
14 Request for Admission No. 18: "The note secured by said Trust Deed,
15 referred to in paragraph 16 above, has been fully paid and satisfied."
16 Response for Admission No. 18: "Deny"
17 Interrogatory 17.1 asks: "... for each response that is not an unqualified admission:
....(b) state all facts upon which you base your response; ....".
Mrs. Kelch's response to Interrogatory 17.1 (b)), RFA tile was: "The transaction
20 that was to take place between Juan F. Sanchez and Salvador Sanchez and the deceased
21 owners was not satisfied in full. The property is encumbered by Trust Deed that was
22 subject to a promissory note that was never satisfied. The property is subject to an
23 encumbrance secured by a Deed of Trust in which I have an interest as an heir."
24 This answer by Mrs. Kelch is non-responsive, inadequate and circular. She merely
25 repeats her contention that the note was not paid in full. It contains no facts that support
26 that contention. It is a conclusion that assumes facts not in evidence, i.e.that there is a
reasonable basis for the conclusion that the note was paid. The one key issue of her entire
28
claim is that the note was not paid. The facts that support that claim is what standard
question 17.1 ask. The dictionary defines a fact as: (" 2 thing that is inckspuiaMy the case;
Information used as evidence ")..Plaintiff wants to known the "facts" upon which she bases
her denial that the note was not paid in full.
