CANDICE WILKINSON,
Plaintiff, v.
GUCCI AMERICA, INC., et al.,
Defendants. |
Case No.: 23SMCV05099
Hearing Date: September 13, 2024 [TENTATIVE] order RE: defendants’ motion to compel mink advanced imaging AND BLUE SHIELD OF CALIFORNIA to comply with deposition subpoenas for production of business records and for sanctions
|
This hearing is on Defendants Gucci America, Inc. and Krystian Gutierrez’s motion to compel Mink Advanced Imaging (“Mink”) and Blue Shield of California (“Blue Shield”) to comply with a deposition subpoena for production of medical records and for sanctions. Mink and Blue Shield have refused to comply with the subpoena based on objections raised by Plaintiff Candice Wilkinson.
This Department’s rules require that on a discovery dispute, when the parties cannot informally resolve the dispute, the parties are to schedule an informal discovery conference (“IDC”). No IDC was scheduled.
Accordingly, the Court DENIES Defendants’ motions to compel compliance with deposition subpoena and request for sanctions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
