Defendant Goal Properties Investments seeks to deem its requests for admission, set one, propounded on Plaintiffs Jynonna Norwood and Family Christian Cathedral admitted.  Defendant contends that Plaintiffs failed to serve any responses.  

 Because it seems that Plaintiffs ultimately served responses on Defendant, the Motions to Deem Admitted are denied as moot.

Defendant requests $2,701.65 (5 hours at $525 per hour, plus a $60 filing fee, a $15 remote appearance fee, and a $1.65 credit card fee) in sanctions for each Plaintiff, but the Court awards reduced sanctions in the total amount of $645 (1 hour at $525 per hour, plus $120 in costs).

Moving party to give notice. 

If counsel do not submit on the tentative, they are strongly encouraged to appear by LACourtConnect rather than in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
