1. 24CV02093 PEDERSEN, ZACHARY R V. FCA US LLC EVENT: Plaintiff’s Motion for Terminating or Issue Sanctions; Request for Monetary Sanctions Plaintiff’s Motion for Terminating or Issue Sanctions; Request for Monetary Sanctions is granted in part.

While the Court is not inclined to grant terminating, issue, or evidentiary sanctions based on this record (see, Liberty Mutual Fire Ins. Co. v. LcL Administrators, Inc. (2008) 163 Cal.App.4th 1093), the Court does direct Defendant to provide further responses, limited to the identification of the specific pages and/or bates numbering where the responsive documents can be found. For example, Defendant states that “the four (4) documents the Court identified by number, along with any organizational charts for the relevant period and any agreements, contracts, or operating procedures governing its customer service call centers, are located within the CAC Policies and Procedures”, but fails to reference where in the CAC Policies and Procedures such documents can be found. The specific identification of these documents shall be made within 7 days’ notice of the Court’s order.

The request for further monetary sanctions is denied. Counsel for the Plaintiff shall submit a revised form of order consistent with this ruling within two weeks.

The parties are reminded that Butte County Local Rule 1.9.D. requires that Trial Readiness Conference Statements be filed 5 Court days prior to the hearing. Thus, Trial Readiness Conference Statements are to be filed and served no later than April 16, 2026 by 4:00 p.m. Failure to do so will result in sanctions.
