MISSION HOUSING DEVELOPMENTCORPORATION ET AL Case Number: | | CGC24620106 | Case Title: | | DIANA WALCOTT VS. MISSION HOUSING DEVELOPMENTCORPORATION ET AL | Court Date: | | 2025-12-02 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | Motion To Compel Plaintiffs Discovery Responses; Memorandum Of Points And Authorities In Support Thereof | Rulings: | | Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Tuesday, December 02, 2025, Line 8. DEFENDANT MISSION HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Motion To Compel Plaintiffs Discovery Responses.
Defendant Missions Housing Development Corporation's unopposed Motion To Compel Plaintiffs Discovery Responses is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. The court finds the motion was timely filed and served. There is no contention that Defendant's RFPs addressed to Plaintiff Diana Walcott are not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence (See Code of Civil Procedure section 2017.010.) Plaintiff has not established that she provided any responses to the RFPs prior to this motion. (See Code of Civil Procedure section 2031.300.) Plaintiff's failure to timely provide responses is not excused. There is no duty to meet and confer prior to making a motion such as this. In any event, Plaintiff has demonstrated meet and confer efforts.
Plaintiff Diana Walcott shall serve verified, objection-free responses no later than December 23, 2025. Defendant's request for an order that Plaintiff produce all non-privileged documents responsive to the request by the same date is denied. Defendant did not cite section 2031.320, let alone demonstrate a basis for relief under it. In any event, at this time the court sees no substantial basis for relief under section 2031.320.
