NEVILLE WRIGHT VS. TURK STREET INVESTORS LLC ET AL

Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, Line 3. 2 - Defendant Turk Street Investors LLC's Motion To Deem Admitted Requests For Admission, Set One, Or In The Alternative, To Compel Further Responses To Requests For Admission, Set One, And Request For Monetary Sanctions is DENIED.

Defendant moves to deem all 26 RFAs in Set One admitted based on Plaintiff's failure to respond to Defendant's satisfaction. The Civil Discovery Act does not expressly authorize such relief. The court declines to award it under section 2023.010 or 2023.030.

The court has reviewed Plaintiff's responses and Defendant's objections to those responses. The objections are overruled. Plaintiff's failure to respond to nos. 20-26 is mitigated by the fact that many of these substantially duplicate other requests. The remainder do not merit another order. This is at least the third order on the RFAs. Defendant vastly overreached on this motion seeking relief in no way supported by the record. On the record before it, the court declines to grant the "alternative" relief requested. Sanctions are denied.

For the 9:00 a.m. calendar, all attorneys and parties may appear in Department 302 remotely or in person. Remote hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom. (Dept. 302 Zoom ID 160 409 7690; Passcode 516287.)

To appear remotely at the hearing, go to the court's website at sfsuperiorcourt.org under "Online Services," navigate to "Tentative Rulings," and click on the appropriate link, or dial the corresponding phone number. Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to contestdept302tr@sftc.org with a copy to all other parties by 4pm stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests. The subject line of the email shall include the line number, case name and case number. The text of the email shall include the name and contact information, including email address, of the attorney or party who will appear at the hearing.

Counsel for the prevailing party is required to prepare a proposed order which repeats verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must email it to contestdept302tr@sftc.org prior to the hearing even if the tentative ruling is not contested.

The court no longer provides a court reporter in the Law & Motion Department. Parties may retain their own reporter, who may appear in the courtroom or remotely. A retained reporter must be a California certified court reporter (CSR), for only a CSR's transcript may be used in California courts. If a CSR is being retained, include in your email all of the following: their name, CSR and telephone numbers, and their individual work email address. =(302/JMQ) | |
