Judge: Nick A. Dourbetas, Case: 2018-00970710, Date: 2022-07-22 Tentative Ruling
Motion to Compel Production
Plaintiff, Anthony Longobardo’s motion to compel defendant Avco Corporation to further respond to Request for Production of Documents, set three, numbers 189-223 is DENIED. It appears the parties agreed to limit the scope of the requests. Defendant has agreed to produce documents pursuant to the limited scope of the request.
Although plaintiff disputes whether such a limitation was agreed upon by the parties, plaintiff has not presented any affirmative evidence to dispute the facts stated in the sworn declaration of attorney Steven D. Smelser. Even if it had, the requests are impermissibly overly broad as to time.
Moving Party to give notice.
***The parties should be prepared to discuss the issue of appointment of a discovery referee at the hearing.
