Judge: Kristin S. Escalante , Case: 22STCV15396, Date: 2023-04-20 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 22STCV15396    Hearing Date: April 20, 2023    Dept: 24

Defendant’s motion for terminating sanctions and request for monetary sanctions.

                Granted as to an award of $75.87, due and payable to defence counsel within 30 days.  Terminating sanctions is far too harsh under the circumstances of this case. There is no history of discovery abuse, and plaintiff’s counsel’s declaration provides facts in mitigation. 

Moving party is ordered to give notice.
