Order RE: motion to compel responses to form
interrogatories, set two |
||
MOVING PARTY: Defendant Canon Business
Properties, Inc.
RESPONDING PARTY: Unopposed
Motion to Compel Responses to Form Interrogatories, Set Two
The court
considered the moving papers filed in connection with this motion. No opposition was filed.
DISCUSSION
Defendant Canon
Business Properties, Inc. (“Canon”) served its Form Interrogatories, Set Two,
on defendant Karlen Galstyan dba KG Road Service (“Galstyan”) on November 18,
2021. (Jones Decl., Ex. A.) After Galstyan failed to provide responses, Canon
sent a meet and confer letter regarding the overdue responses, and granted
Galstyan an extension to serve his responses by January 10, 2022. (Jones Decl., ¶¶ 6-7.) Although counsel stated that Galstyan’s
responses would be served by January 25, 2022, Galstyan has not provided any responses. (Jones Decl., ¶¶ 8-9.)
Canon now moves
for an order compelling Galstyan to serve responses to Canon’s Form
Interrogatories, Set Two. Galstyan has
not filed an opposition to the motion, and has not presented evidence to the
court establishing that he served responses to Canon’s Form Interrogatories,
Set Two. The court therefore grants
Canon’s motion to compel Galstyan’s responses to Canon’s Form Interrogatories,
Set Two, served on November 18, 2021. (Code
Civ. Proc., § 2030.290, subd. (b).)
The court grants
Canon’s request for monetary sanctions against Galstyan. The court finds that monetary sanctions in
the sum of $660 (3 hours x $200 hourly rate + $60 filing fee) is a reasonable
amount of monetary sanctions to impose against Galstyan on this motion.
ORDER
The court grants defendant Canon Business Properties, Inc.’s motion to
compel defendant Karlen Galstyan dba KG Road Service to serve responses to Canon’s
Form Interrogatories, Set Two. (Code
Civ. Proc., § 2030.290, subd. (b).)
Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 2030.290, the court orders
defendant Karlen Galstyan dba KG Road Service to serve on defendant Canon
Business Properties, Inc. full and complete verified answers, without
objections, to defendant Canon Business Properties, Inc.’s Form
Interrogatories, Set Two, that comply with Code of Civil Procedure sections
2030.220 and 2030.250, subdivisions (a) and (b), within 20 days of the date of
this order.
The
court grants defendant Canon Business Properties, Inc.’s request for monetary sanctions
against defendant Karlen Galstyan dba KG Road Service.
The court orders defendant Karlen Galstyan dba KG Road Service to pay monetary sanctions in the amount
of $660 to defendant Canon Business Properties, Inc. within 30 days from the date of this
order. (Code Civ. Proc., § 2030.290,
subd. (c).)
The
court orders defendant Canon Business Properties, Inc. to give notice of
this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
