IN RE: NATHANIEL ORMOND

Matter on calendar for Monday, August 24, 2026, Line 3, PETITIONER NATHANIEL ORMOND's Petition By Defendant And Cross-complaintant Nathaniel Ormond To Compel Compliance And To Compel Further Responses By Third-Party Treasury Prime Inc. To The Subpoena For Production Of Business Records; Request For Sanctions Against Treasury Prime. (Complete tentative ruling emailed to the parties).

Petitioner Nathan Ormond's petition to compel further responses to his subpoena to third-party Treasury Prime Inc. and request for monetary sanctions is denied as moot without prejudice to filing a motion after the parties have engaged in meaningful meet and confer efforts and reached an impasse. Treasury Prime's request for monetary sanctions is granted in part. No later than September 30, 2026 Ormond must pay $2,290 to Treasury Prime in reasonable monetary sanctions.
