The motion to compel further responses to special interrogatories, set one; requests for admission, set one; requests for production, set one; and employment form interrogatories, set one; and for monetary sanctions, is continued for hearing to July 29, 2026. The parties are ordered to meet and confer forthwith about the amended responses and to make good faith efforts to resolve this dispute. Plaintiff may file a supplemental brief and supplemental separate statement by July 15, 2026 indicating which disputes remain outstanding. Defendant may respond with a supplemental brief and supplemental separate statement by July 22, 2026. The court notifies both parties that it will impose sanctions at the continued hearing if it finds the party's discovery position lacked substantial justification, unless it finds that other circumstances make imposition of the sanction unjust.
