Garbolinsky, Greg v. Gillingham, Jeffrey Duke Paul et al.

Plaintiff shall prepare the form of order.

3-4. 22CV02786 TA v. California Southern Baptist Convention et al.

EVENT: Thermalito Baptist Church’s Motion to Compel Deposition Attendance of Plaintiff (Continued from 8/12/26)

Thermalito Baptist Church’s Motion to Compel Deposition Attendance of Plaintiff is GRANTED as unopposed. Sanctions are awarded to Defendant in the amount of $2,300.00, payable within 20 days. Plaintiff is ordered to appear at the next scheduled deposition. CRC 3.1010 places the burden on Defendant to make all necessary accommodations. The motion is silent as to what, if any, communications were had with Plaintiff (other than mailing the deposition notice) concerning how the deposition was to take place, or what arrangements were needed.

There is no evidence of any communication either before or after the deposition. Had the deposition notice provided a physical location for the deposition, the Court would not necessarily expect extensive pre-deposition communications with Plaintiff. But when a pro per is noticed for a remote deposition, one would expect there to be some pre deposition communication regarding logistics. Defendant shall prepare the form of order.

5. 24CV02216 Garbolinsky, Greg v. Gillingham, Jeffrey Duke Paul et al.

EVENT: Defendants’ Motion for Admissions Be Deemed Admitted, for Monetary Sanctions, and for Terminating Sanctions

Defendants’ Motion for Admissions Be Deemed Admitted, for Monetary Sanctions, and for Terminating Sanctions is GRANTED. The fact Plaintiff has abandoned the case combined with his failure to respond to discovery warrant terminating sanctions. Sanctions are awarded in the amount of $1,750.00. The Court will sign the proposed order with this modification.
