Moving Party: Plaintiff Dawn Sipple

Responding Party: Defendants Keisha R. Morehead D.D.S. Inc. and Keisha R. Morehead

Notice: OK

Ruling: The Motion is denied.

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. 

Plaintiff Dawn Sipple seeks to deem her requests for admission, set one, propounded on Defendants Keisha R. Morehead D.D.S. Inc. and Keisha R. Morehead admitted.  

The Motion is denied as moot because responses have now been served.

Defendants seek to set aside their waiver of objections.  This is rejected because such a request must be made by separate motion.  (Code Civ. Proc. § 2033.280.)

Plaintiff requests $2,185 in sanctions, but the Court awards reduced sanctions in the amount of $1,000.

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.
