Motion to Be Relieved as Counsel of Record
Defendants have not cited any authority supporting their proposition that filing a motion for a protective order preserves their objections. Nor is the court aware of any. As the leading treatise on civil pretrial procedure cautions: “Protective orders usually are sought ‘under the gun’ because responses are due. If the opposing side is unwilling to stipulate to an extension, you may have to obtain a court order shortening the time for hearing or extending the time to respond until after the hearing on the protective order (in order to avoid waiver of any objections)[.]” (Weil & Brown, Cal.
Practice Guide: Civil Procedure Before Trial (The Rutter Group, 2026), ¶ 8:1007, p. 8F-4 [emphasis added].) Further, Defendants have not satisfied the requirements to obtain relief from waiver of their objections under section 2030.290, subd. (a). Accordingly, the court finds Defendants waived their objections to the SROGs, including ones based on privilege or on the protection of work product.
