-Motion to Deem Admitted by Defendant Edward Hightower Plaintiff’s Request for Admission (Set One) and Request for Sanctions
-Motion Compelling Defendant Edward Hightower’s Responses to Plaintiff’s Request for Production (Set One) and Request for Sanctions
DECISION
The motions are now moot pursuant to the filing of Plaintiff on October 17, 2022.
The only issue remaining is sanctions.
Sanctions with respect to the motion to deem requests for admissions admitted are mandatory if a party to whom the requests for admissions have been directed failed to serve a timely response to the request for admission. (Code Civ. Proc., §2033.280(c).) Sanctions are granted because Hightower failed to serve timely responses to Plaintiff’s RFAs. Because the motion is simple and unopposed, the Court imposes sanctions totaling $410.
For the reasons set forth in the opposition filed on October 13, 2022, the Court declines to impose sanctions in connection with the motion to compel responses to request for production.
Moving party to provide notice and to file proof of service of such notice within five court days.
