Case Number: 23STCV26400    Hearing Date: May 14, 2025    Dept: 27

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES - CENTRAL DISTRICT

On December 10, 2024, Defendant Charlene Pecot served Plaintiff with Form Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents, Set Ones. Plaintiff’s responses were due on January 13, 2025, but no responses were received. Thereafter, Defendant granted Plaintiff an extension to respond by February 24, 2025; however, no responses have been provided to date. Defendant now moves the Court to compel initial responses.

No opposition or other filing has been submitted to indicate that the responses at issue were served prior to the hearing. Accordingly, the motion is granted. Plaintiff is ordered to serve complete and verified responses to Defendant’s Form Interrogatories, Set One, and Requests for Production of Documents, Set One, within 20 days of today, without objections.

Defendant did not request sanctions.
