    CASE NO.: 21STCV23824

 

[TENTATIVE RULING]

MOTION TO COMPEL FURTHER RESPONSES ARE DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE

 

Dept. 27

1:30 p.m.

April 24, 2025

At issue are Defendant Ross Morgan & Company, Inc.’s motions to compel further responses to its Request for Admissions, Set One, and Request for Production, Set One.

Personal Injury Hub Courts will not entertain motions to compel further discovery responses until the parties have participated in an Informal Discovery Conference (IDC). (Eighth Amended Standing Order For Procedures In The Personal Injury Hub Court at p. 7.) The Court may deny or continue a motion to compel further responses to discovery if the parties do not schedule and complete an IDC before the hearing date. (Id.) The parties must participate in an IDC to attempt to resolve any outstanding discovery disputes before filing a motion to compel further.

In a February 26, 2025, meet and confer email, Plaintiff advised Defendant of the IDC requirement and expressed willingness to attend the IDC and extend Defendant’s motion to compel further deadline to allow time for the IDC.

No IDC has been held or scheduled before the hearing or filing of the present motion. Thus, the Court denies the motion without prejudice.

Parties who intend to submit on this tentative must send an email to the Court at SSCDEPT27@lacourt.org indicating intention to submit on the tentative as directed by the instructions provided on the court’s website at www.lacourt.org.  Please be advised that if you submit on the tentative and elect not to appear at the hearing, the opposing party may nevertheless appear at the hearing and argue the matter.  Unless you receive a submission from all other parties in the matter, you should assume that others might appear at the hearing to argue.  If the Court does not receive emails from the parties indicating submission on this tentative ruling and there are no appearances at the hearing, the Court may, at its discretion, adopt the tentative as the final order or place the motion off calendar.
