Dr. Jennifer Bruha and Request for Monetary Sanctions Against Plaintiff.
The Court has received no opposition from Plaintiff. “[T]he failure to file an opposition creates an inference that the motion or demurrer is meritorious.” (Sexton v. Superior Court (1997) 58 Cal.App.4th 1403, 1410.) Good Cause Appearing, Defendant’s motion to compel is GRANTED. Sanctions are appropriate but the requested amount is excessive as the anticipated three hours for reviewing Plaintiff’s opposition and preparing reply brief is not applicable. Court GRANTS sanctions in the amount of $750.00 for costs incurred in bringing this action. If no one contests this tentative ruling, the amount will be further reduced by one hour.
Defendant to prepare the final order, accompanied by the necessary Forms EFS-020, within 10 days of the date of the hearing.
