Nature of Proceedings

Motion: Admissions

Tentative Ruling

Plaintiff served defendant with Requests for Admissions, Set 1 on March 5, 2024. After receiving no response to the Requests from defendant, plaintiff on July 5, 2024, filed the current Motion for Oder Deeming Each Request for Admission as Admitted, and seeking $60 in sanctions. Defendant has not opposed the motion.

If defendant provides verified responses to the Requests for Admissions (Set 1), without objections, to plaintiff before the hearing on this motion, the motion for deemed admissions will be denied.

If defendant fails to provide verified responses to the Requests for Admissions (Set 1) to plaintiff before the hearing on this motion, the motion for deemed admissions will be granted, and the matters set forth in the requests will be deemed to have been admitted by defendant as being true.

Regardless of whether defendant provides such verified responses prior to the hearing, Code of Civil Procedure section 2033.280(c) makes the imposition of monetary sanctions against the party whose failure to serve a timely response necessitated the filing of the motion mandatory. Consequently, the Court will also order defendant to pay monetary sanctions in the amount of $60 to plaintiff.
