DAWN CALVERT PRO SE NEWELL'S COCKTAIL LOUNGE WILLIAM S. KRONENBERG
DEFENDANT NEWELL’S COCKTAIL LOUNGE’S MOTION TO COMPEL RESPONSE TO WRITTEN DISCOVERY REQUESTS, SET ONE, AND FOR MONETARY SANCTIONS
TENTATIVE RULING:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
The unopposed motion is denied without prejudice for failure to provide proof that the underlying discovery was properly served on plaintiff. The POS indicates the discovery was served on plaintiff electronically. Code of Civil Procedure section 1010.6, subdivision (c)(1) provides that an unrepresented party may consent to receive electronic service by serving notice on all parties and filing the notice with the court or by manifesting consent through electronic means with the court or the court’s electronic filing service provider. Defendant has not established that plaintiff consented to electronic service.
If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the Court. Thereafter, counsel for the prevailing party shall prepare and submit for the Court’s signature a written order consistent with this ruling pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 3.1312, and shall provide written notice of the ruling to all parties who have appeared in the action, as required by law. The parties are reminded that San Mateo County Superior Court Local Rule 3.403(b)(iv) requires the prevailing party on a tentative ruling to prepare a proposed order repeating verbatim the tentative ruling. The proposed order shall be e-filed only; it shall not be emailed or mailed to the Court.
