MARIA R RAMIREZ JIMENEZ, et al. vs NICOLAS GAONA CHAVEZ

Motion for Terminating Sanctions and Dismissal

Ruling:  Granted.  Case is dismissed with prejudice. 

Moving party to give notice.

Rationale:  

On February 17, 21, and 22, 2023, the Court granted Defendant's motions to compel Plaintiffs' discovery responses.  Plaintiffs never responded to the requests in contravention of the Court's orders.  Given the passage of time, the lack of response, and the lack of opposition, the Court deems that terminating sanctions is proper.  Los Defensores, Inc. v. Gomez (2014) 223 Cal.App.4th 377, 390.

Motion is unopposed.
