Mandana Nazar v. Shawn Yadidi, et al.

Case No. 21STCV46583

Motion to Compel Deposition

            Previously, Defendant and Cross-Complainant Promed Medical Supplies (“Defendant”) moved to compel Plaintiff and Cross-Defendant Mandana Nazar (“Plaintiff”) to appear for deposition.  The Court granted the motion and ordered Plaintiff to submit to a deposition on or before March 31, 2023.  (See Court’s Order, dated February 14, 2023.)  It appears that the first motion was based on Plaintiff’s status as plaintiff, and the instant motion is based on Plaintiff’s status as cross-defendant.  However, Plaintiff need only appear once for a deposition.  (Code Civ. Proc., § 2025.610, subds. (a), (b).)  Therefore, the motion is denied as moot.  The Court denies all requests for sanctions.  Defendant’s counsel shall provide notice and file proof of such with the Court.
