Beasley v. CR&R Incorporated, Case No. 23NWCV03414

This case is about a motor vehicle accident. Defendant CR&R Incorporated seeks ex parte relief to advance the hearing dates on its Motion to Compel Further Responses to Special Interrogatories, Set One and Motion to Compel Further Responses to Requests for Production of Documents, Set One to April 30, 2024. They are currently set for September 24, 2024, and November 6, 2024, respectively.

A party may seek ex prate relief upon an affirmative factual showing "irreparable harm, immediate danger, or any other statutory basis for granting relief ex parte." (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1202(c).)

Defendant asserts that severe prejudice and significant waste will occur if the hearing dates are not advanced and consolidated because the issues presented by each of the three motions are identical. (Mot., pg. 2.)

Based on the above, the Court grants the motion. The two motions are advanced from September 24, 2024, and November 6, 2024, to today’s date and CONTINUED to April 30, 2024 in Dept. SE-C at 10:30 A.M.
