Case Number: 24STCV24592 Hearing Date: September 1, 2026 Dept: 514 Nava v. Guevara 24STCV24592 Plaintiff's Motion for Sanctions Tentative Ruling The motion is DENIED.

On April 23, 2026, the Court ordered Defendants to pay monetary sanctions to Plaintiff under the Civil Discovery Act in the amount of $1,400 by May 26, 2026. Defendants have not complied. (Ekekeula Decl., P. 3.) Plaintiff now seeks an order enforcing the prior sanctions order. This request is denied as unnecessary. The Court made an order. Defendants are required by law to comply with it. A new order requiring a party to comply with a prior order adds nothing.

Plaintiff also seeks monetary sanctions for the failure of Defendants to pay sanctions. The Court, in its discretion, denies this request as well. Plaintiff has an order requiring Defendants to pay sanctions. An order requiring the payment of monetary sanctions is enforceable in the same manner as a judgment. Interest is due on unpaid amounts at the legal rate. Where, as here, there is no showing that the Defendants have failed to provide information, documents, or testimony as required under the Civil Discovery Act, and there is no showing of prejudice to Plaintiff in connection with preparing for trial, the Court declines to impose a further monetary sanction at this time. Moving party is ordered to give notice.
