Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Thursday, October 20, 2025, Line 8. PLAINTIFF JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NA.'S Motion For Order That Matters In Request For Admission Of Truth Of Facts Be Deemed Admitted.
JPMorgan Chase Bank's Motion For Order That Matters In Request For Admission Of Truth Of Facts Be Deemed Admitted is DENIED.
A party may move for an order deeming the Requests for Admissions (RFA's) admitted if the party to whom they are directed has failed to serve a timely response. (Cal. Civ. Procedure 2033.280(b).) "The court shall make this order, unless it finds that the party to whom the requests for admission have been directed has served, before the hearing on the motion, a proposed response to the requests for admission that is in substantial compliance with Section 2033.220." (CCP 2033.280(c).) Responses are due within 30 days after service of the discovery. (CCP 2033.250(a).)
Service was proper. Defendant has provided a certified mail receipt indicating that the Requests for Admission (RFAs) were served on June 17, 2025-within the 30-day period required by statute following service on May 20, 2025. Additionally, Defendant includes a proof of service showing that another individual served the documents on Plaintiff on June 17, 2025. Accordingly, the Court finds there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Plaintiff was properly served.
To the extent Plaintiff alleges improper service, the Court nevertheless denies the motion, finding that Defendant substantially complied with the statutory requirements by submitting responses to the RFA's prior to the hearing. Defendant is ordered to re-serve Plaintiff.
