Defendant Margaret Choy's unopposed Motion For Order: (1) Enforcing November 17, 2025 Order Compelling Plaintiff Vi Luong To Pay Monetary Sanctions; (2) Monetary Sanctions (CCP 177.5); (3) Failsafe Relief If Plaintiff Fails To Comply; And (4) Order To Show Cause Re Contempt (CCP 1209, 1218) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.

On November 17, 2025, the court ordered Plaintiff Vi Luong to pay Defendant Margaret Choy discovery sanctions in the amount of $2,860.00. Defendant provided notice of entry of the order the next day. The court ordered payment by December 3, 2025. The record demonstrates Plaintiff has not yet paid the sanctions.

Good cause appearing, Plaintiff Vi Luong is ordered to pay Defendant Margaret Choy the discovery sanctions ordered on November 17, 2025, in the amount of $2,860.00 promptly but in no event later than June 30, 2026. At this time and on this record, the court declines to issue an OSC re Contempt. If Plaintiff does not pay the sanction by 6/30/2026, Defendant may renew her motion for an OSC re Contempt. If she does so, she must demonstrate all requirements for an OSC have been met and she must lodge with her moving papers a compliant and complete proposed OSC and provide a courtesy copy of the proposed OSC when she lodges the courtesy copies of her moving papers. To the extent Defendant seeks additional or different relief, the request is denied.
