Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Ali Enteshari to Provide Further Responses to Requests for Production, Set Three (ROA 23)
On receipt of the response to a document demand, the demanding party may move to compel a further response if any of the following apply: (1) a statement of compliance is incomplete; (2) a representation of inability to comply is inadequate, incomplete or evasive; (3) an objection is without merit or too general. (Code Civ. Proc., § 2031.310, subd. (a).)
The motion must set forth specific facts showing good cause justifying the discovery, and it must be accompanied by a separate statement. (Code Civ. Proc., § 2031.310, subd. (b); Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1345.)
To establish “good cause,” the burden is on the moving party to show both: • Relevance to the subject matter (e.g., how the information in the documents would tend to prove or disprove some issue in the case); and • Specific facts justifying discovery (e.g., why such information is necessary for trial preparation or to prevent surprise at trial). (Glenfed Develop. Corp. v. Sup.Ct. (National Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburgh, Penn.) (1997) 53 Cal.App.4th 1113, 1117; see also Kirkland v. Sup.Ct. (Guess”, Inc.) (2002) 95 Cal.App.4th 92, 98.)
If good cause is shown by the moving party, the burden is then on the responding party to justify any objections made
