Petition for Change of Name
Plaintiff moves, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 2023.010 and 2033.280,2 for an order that truth of all specified facts in the Request for Admissions (“RFAs”), Set One propounded upon Defendant on December 10, 2025 be deemed admitted. The Motion is made on the grounds that Defendant failed to serve timely responses to the RFAs.
“If a party to whom requests for admission are directed fails to serve a timely response, . . . [t]he requesting party may move for an order that the genuineness of any documents and the truth of any matters specified in the requests be deemed admitted.” (§ 2033.280, subd. (b).) “The court shall make this order, unless it finds that the party to whom the requests for admission have been directed has served, before the hearing on the motion, a proposed response to the requests for admission that is in substantial compliance with Section 2033.220.” (§ 2033.280, subd. (c).)
Plaintiff submits evidence demonstrating that the discovery was properly propounded and timely responses were not served. (Declaration of Brian Langedyk (“Langedyk Decl.”) at ¶¶ 2-3, Exh. 1.) As such, the Court orders that the genuineness of the documents and the truth of the matters specified in the RFAs are deemed admitted.
