CABOUCHON PROPERTIES, LLC vs. L L & L LLC

2) MOTION – COMPEL – DISCOVERY FACILITATOR PROGRAM

Plaintiff Cabouchon Properties, LLC, (“Plaintiff”) filed a motion to compel further responses to written discovery and for sanctions in the amount of $4,500 against Defendant LL&L, LLC, (“Defendants”).

The discovery requests and responses at issue encompass Form Interrogatories, Special Interrogatories, and Requests for Production. At issue are Defendant’s responses to Form Interrogatory Nos. 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 12.5, 12.6, 14.1 and 16.1, which object to the term “INCIDENT” and do not otherwise provide any responses. Plaintiff also moves to compel further responses to 15.1. As to the Special Interrogatories, Plaintiff takes issues with nos. 3-6, 9-11, 14-23, 26-37, 43, 45-47, 58-62, 69-82. Plaintiff also moves to compel further responses/documents in response to nos. 1-8, 19, 21-23, 28-32 on the basis that no documents have been produced and Defendant’s responses fail to identify the documents that are responsive to the request.

Defendant opposes this motion on the basis that a separate statement was not filed, but this is incorrect. Defendant also asserts that some documents have been produced and that amended responses were filed. Defendant attached amended responses to a few of the requests for documents. However, it appears that no responses have been provided that address the alleged deficiencies to the Form Interrogatories or the Special Interrogatories.
