Judge: Michael Small, Case: BC696016, Date: 2025-03-12 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: BC696016    Hearing Date: March 12, 2025    Dept: 57

The Court is denying the ex parte application of Defendant for an order compelling an independent mental examination of Plaintiff or, in the alternative, for an order shortening time on a motion to compel that examination.   Defendant should go ahead and file its motion and then seek through another ex parte application an order shortening time to hear the motion.   

At the hearing today, however, the Court will ask Plaintiff's counsel whether Plaintiff will simply agree to an examination on a specific date so as to obviate the need for the motion and another ex parte.
