PHUNG KIM TRAN ET AL | Court Date: | | 2025-10-06 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | Notice Of Motion And Motion To Compel Responses To Demand For Production Of Documents, Set One; Memorandum Of Points And Authorities In Support Thereof; Declaration Of Erica Chang; [Proposed] Order | Rulings: | | On the Law and Motion / Discovery calendar for October 6, 2025, line 4, 1 - DEFENDANT PHUNG TRAN, TAM NGUYEN Notice Of Motion And Motion To Compel Responses To Demand For Production Of Documents, Set One.
Defendants Tam Nguyen and Phung Kim Tam's motion to compel Plaintiffs Maria Rodriguez Cruz, Suzannah Beltran and Edgar Beltran's responses to her Request For Production Of Documents ("RFPs") is granted. The discovery requests at issue appear reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. (See Code of Civil Procedure section 2017.010.) The record demonstrates Plaintiffs did not provide any responses to the RFPs. No meet and confer requirement exists for motions to compel responses for requests for production of documents when no responses have been provided. (Code of Civil Procedure section 2031.300.)
Plaintiffs Maria Rodriguez Cruz, Suzannah Beltran and Edgar Beltran shall serve verified, objection-free, responses to Defendants' RFPs, Set One by October 15, 2025. Plaintiffs have not demonstrated they acted with substantial justification in connection with this discovery. Plaintiffs Maria Rodriguez Cruz, Suzannah Beltran and Edgar Beltran shall pay $560 to Moving Defendants as sanctions, payment no later than October 24, 2025. (See Code of Civil Procedure section 2030.300(c).) To the extent Defendants seek additional or different relief, the motion is denied.
