TENTATIVE RULING

           

            Plaintiff Jenny Bindon’s Motion to Compel Further Responses to Requests for Production of Documents (Set One) against Defendant Loyola Marymount is GRANTED as to RFP Nos. 5, 7, 11– 14, 19, 22, 27, 35, 43–55, 58, 60–62, 64–65, 67–70, and 74 (FERPA Related Response). The Court orders further responses to RFP No’s 5, 7, 11– 14, 19, 22, 27, 35, 43–55, 58, 60–62, 64–65, 67–70, and 74 to be served within 10 days with student names and names of their family members redacted and replaced with pseudonyms as stated in the parties Stipulated Protective Order (See 9-14-23 Stipulated Protective Order – Confidential Designation.). Defendant Loyola Marymount did not oppose the production of RFP No’s. 5, 7, 11– 14, 19, 22, 27, 35, 43–55, 58, 60–62, 64–65, 67–70, and 74 as long as court order was produced. (See Oppo., Kohl Decl., ¶ 10.)

 

Regarding RFP No’s 2, 3, 10, 20, 21, 24, 28, 42, 71, 72, 73, 89, 90, it appears they either have been answered or objected to on different grounds that were not addressed by counsel in their efforts to meet and confer. The Court, therefore, denies the motion as these requests.
