CASE:                         NBZ Investments, LLC, et al. v. Calculated Risk Analyics, LLC, et al.

CASE NO.:                      22STCV12440

MOTION TO COMPEL FURTHER RESPONSES TO DISCOVERY

MOVING PARTY:               Plaintiffs NBZ Investments, LLC, et al.

RESPONDING PARTY:     Defendant Castle Mortgage Corporation

On May 5, 2023, Plaintiffs, NBZ Investments, LLC, and Neda and Behzad Zaman, filed this motion to compel Defendant, Castle Mortgage Corporation, to provide further responses to Plaintiffs’ Request for Production of Documents, Set Two, Nos. 93-109.  Plaintiffs request sanctions against Defendant and its counsel.  The motion is accompanied by a concise outline of the discovery issues rather than a separate statement.

            The parties have not participated in an Informal Discovery Conference (IDC) prior to the hearing of this motion.  The court further notes that Plaintiffs have filed two other motions to compel which are set to be heard on January 30, 2024 and February 16, 2024.  The parties have yet to participate in an IDC with respect to those motions.  Accordingly, the court will continue this motion and the January 30, 2024 motion to February 16, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. to allow the parties to participate in an IDC.  The parties are to notify the court if more time is needed to schedule an IDC.

Clerk of the Court to give notice.
