RAYMOND VINCENT DIGIACOMO JR. VS. HEALTHRIGHT 360 ET AL

Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Tuesday, December 09, 2025, Line 1. 2 - PLAINTIFF RAYMOND DIGIACOMO's Motion For Order Compelling Defendant Denise Williams To Serve Answers Without Objections To Srogs2 And Request For Monetary Sanction.

Plaintiff's motion to compel responses to the special interrogatories (set two) ("SROGS") propounded on defendant Williams is granted. The court considers defendant's late opposition.

Plaintiff e-served the SROGS on September 20, 2025. (DiGiacomo Decl., par. 2.) The responses were due 30 days later (October 20, 2025). (CCP 2030.260(a).) But since the documents were e-served the deadline was extended two court days (October 22, 2025.). (CCP 1010.6(a)(3)(B).) Here, defendant served her untimely response on October 24, 2025. (Helfrick Decl., par. 6; DiGiacomo Decl., Ex. 6.) Because the response was untimely, defendant waived all objections. (CCP 2030.290(a). Defendant also failed to file a "motion" for relief from this waiver. (Id.) Therefore, the court orders defendant to provide objection free substantive responses to the SROGS within 15 days of notice of entry of this order. Defendant did not act with substantial justification and the court awards sanctions of $7 payable from defendant Williams or attorney Helfrick.
