Department 54, Judge Maurice A. Leiter

Motion to Deem Requests for Admission Admitted

Moving Party: Defendant Enterprise Rent-a-Car Company of Los Angeles, LLC

Responding Party: Plaintiff Yancy Boyd

T/R:      DEFENDANT’S MOTION IS DENIED.

DEFENDANT TO NOTICE.  

If the parties wish to submit on the tentative, please email the courtroom at SMCdept54@lacourt.org with notice to opposing counsel (or self-represented party) before 8:00 am on the day of the hearing.

The Court considers the moving papers, opposition, and reply.

If a party fails to provide a timely response to a request for admission, the party waives any objection to the requests.  (C.C.P. § 2033.280(a).)  Moreover, “[t]he requesting party may move for an order that the genuineness of any documents and the truth of any matters specified in the requests be deemed admitted, as well as for a monetary sanction….”  (C.C.P. § 2033.280(b).) 

Defendant moves to deem RFAs admitted against Plaintiff. In opposition, Plaintiff represents that responses have been served. In reply, Defendant requests sanctions.

As responses have been served, the motion to deem RFAs admitted is DENIED. The Court declines to award sanctions as the motion should have been taken off calendar when responses were served.
