Superior Court of California 

County of Los Angeles – West District  

Beverly Hills Courthouse / Department 205 

 

 

This hearing is on Plaintiff Kent Moyer’s motion to compel Defendant James Davidson’s further responses to his requests for production sets one and two and for sanctions.  This Department’s rules require Plaintiff to file a joint statement consisting of four columns: the first column will identify the number of the discovery request; the second, the text of the discovery request; the third, the text of the response, and the fourth, brief bullet-point statements, one from each party as to why a further response should or should not be compelled.¿ While a “joint statement” was filed, it does not include Defendant’s position as to why a further response should not be compelled.  Accordingly, it fails to comply with this Department’s rules, and the Court, therefore, denies Plaintiff’s motion to compel further responses to his requests for production.  ¿¿¿ 

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
