The motion is granted.

7 24-01382178 1) Motion to Compel Answers to Form Interrogatories 2) Motion to Compel Answers to Form Interrogatories Kim vs. Kkanbu 3) Motion to Compel Answers to Special Interrogatories Restaurant, Inc. 4) Motion to Compel Production 5) Motion to Deem Facts Admitted

Defendant and Cross-complainant Ai Ran Yang’s motions to compel responses to (1) Form Interrogatories – General, Set One, (2) Form Interrogatories – Employment, Set One, (3) Special Interrogatories, Set One, (4) Request for Production, Set One, and (5) deem the truth of any matters in Request for Admissions, Set One, admitted and for sanctions against Cross-defendant Hyun Mi Ki are DENIED as MOOT.

On 11/14/25, Defendant and Cross-complainant Ai Ran Yang filed the instant discovery motions regarding discovery propounded on Cross- defendant Hyun Mi Kim.

On 8/25/25, however, Defendants and Cross-complainants Kkanbu Restaurant, Inc. and Ai Ran Yang filed a request for entry of default against Cross-defendant Hyun Mi Kim on the cross-complaint filed 4/23/25. (ROA 41.) Default was entered on 8/25/25.

“The entry of a default terminates a defendant’s rights to take any further affirmative steps in the litigation until either its default is set aside or a default judgment is entered.” (Devlin v. Kearny Mesa AMC/Jeep/Renault, Inc. (1984) 155 Cal.App.3d 381, 385 [citations omitted].) “A defendant against whom a default has been entered is out of court and is not entitled to take any further steps in the cause affecting plaintiff’s right of action . . . .” (Id. at p. 385-386 [citation omitted].)

As default has been entered against Cross-defendant Kim on the Cross- complaint, Cross-defendant Kim is “out of court” and Defendant and Cross-complainant Yang’s discovery motions are therefore moot. 8 25-01472504 Order to Show Cause re: Preliminary Injunction
