MOVING PARTIES:
Plaintiffs Steven E. Falchetta

RESPONDING PARTY: Defendant FCA US, LLC
Motion to Compel FCA US LLC’s

The
court considered the moving, opposition, and reply papers filed in connection
with this motion.
Plaintiffs Steven E. Falchetta and Tammy L.
Bensing (“Plaintiffs”) move the court for an order compelling defendant FCA US
LLC (“Defendant”) to provide further responses to Plaintiffs’ Request for
Production of Documents, Set One, numbers 12, 40-49, 85-87, 92, and 98-100.
The court denies Plaintiffs’ motion to
compel further responses to Requests for Production numbers 12 and 85-86 because
Defendant’s October 5, 2022 further supplemental responses to these requests substantially
comply with Code of Civil Procedure section 2031.230.
The court denies Plaintiffs’ motion to
compel further responses to Requests for Production numbers 40, 41, 43, 44, 47,
and 49 because Defendant’s October 5, 2022 supplemental responses to these
requests substantially comply with Code of Civil Procedure section
2031.230.
The court denies Plaintiffs’ motion to
compel further responses to Requests for Production numbers 42 and 45 because
Defendant’s October 5, 2022 supplemental responses to these requests
substantially comply with Code of Civil Procedure sections 2031.220 and
2031.230.
The court denies Plaintiffs’ motion to compel further responses to
Requests for Production numbers
46 and 48 because Defendant’s October 5, 2022 supplemental responses to these requests substantially comply
with Code of Civil Procedure section 2031.220.
The court denies Plaintiffs’ motion to
compel further responses to Requests for Production numbers 87, 92, and 98-100
because Defendant’s October 5, 2022 further supplemental responses to these
requests substantially comply with Code of Civil Procedure section 2031.220.
The court orders defendant FCA US LLC to give notice of this
ruling.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: October 21, 2022
