Plaintiff Ma Estela Aguirre’s Motion to Compel Deposition of Defendant’s Person Most Knowledgeable and Motion to Compel Further Responses to her Requests for Production of Documents at Deposition are DENIED as MOOT without prejudice.

Moving Party to give NOTICE.

 

Plaintiff Ma Estela Aguirre (Plaintiff) moves for an order compelling the deposition attendance of Defendant General Motors, LLC’s (Defendant) Person Most Qualified (PMQ) and for an order compelling further responses to the related requests for production. Plaintiff seeks sanctions.

Background

On February 2, 2023, Plaintiff filed a complaint against Defendant for alleged violations of the Song-Beverly Act for failure to repair or repurchase Plaintiff’s vehicle.

Discussion

At the June 21, 2023 Case Management Conference, the court implemented its standard discovery order in lemon law cases. The June 21 order stayed all pending discovery absent further order of the court or stipulation of the parties. The discovery requests that are the subject of these Motions preceded the June 21 order and are stayed. Therefore, these Motions are DENIED as MOOT.

Similarly, Plaintiff’s request for sanctions is DENIED as the discovery was stayed.

The court refers the parties to the June 21, 2023 order; specifically, Section 2 (Production of Documents) and Section 4 (Depositions).
