Plaintiff, 

v. 

 

ARWA DAS, et al.,  

 

Defendants. 

 

  Case No.:  23SMCV00155 

  

  Hearing Date:  February 23, 2024 

  [TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: 

  DEFENDANTS MOTIONS  

  TO COMPEL FURTHER RESPONSES TO  

  REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION (SET  

  TWO) AND SPECIAL INTERROGATORIES    

  (SET TWO) AND FOR SANCTIONS 

 

  

 

 

 

This hearing is on Defendant Arwa Das’ motions to compel Plaintiff Yvonne Buchanan’s further responses to his requests for production (set two) and special interrogatories (set two) and for sanctions.   

This Department’s rules require Defendant 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.¿ No joint statement was filed.   

Accordingly, the motions fail to comply with this Department’s rules, and the Court, therefore, denies without prejudice Defendant’s motions to compel¿¿¿ 

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
