#27
MARIA DOLORES TORRES vs HOMETOWN INN, LP, et al.
22STCV15738
Motion to Compel Responses to Form Interrogatories
Motion to Compel Responses to Special Interrogatories (Set One)
Motion to Compel Responses to Special Interrogatories (Set Two)

Ruling:  
Motion to Compel Responses to Form Interrogatories is granted.
Motion to Compel Responses to Special Interrogatories (Set One) is granted.
Motion to Compel Responses to Special Interrogatories (Set Two) is granted.
Plaintiff is to serve verified responses without objection within 20 days of the issuance of this order.
Court declines to award sanctions.
Moving party to give notice.

Rationale:  

Unverified responses are tantamount to no responses at all.  Appleton v. Superior Court (1988) 206 Cal.App.3d 632, 636. When a party fails to respond timely to discovery requests, that party waives all objections. CCP section 2030.290(a). 

The Court declines to award sanctions because the motions are unopposed.
