Ruling

25CV-04496 Gerardo Ponce Vasquez vs Marianne Daughdrill, et al.

Motion to Compel Further Verified Responses by Defendant Marianne Daughdrill to Form Interrogatories, Set One, And Request for Monetary Sanctions

The motion to compel a further response to Form Interrogatory, Set One, No. 2.13, is GRANTED.

Form Interrogatory No. 2.13 does not invade Defendant’s privacy to where Defendant should be relieved from providing a response.

The motion to compel a further response to Form Interrogatory, Set One, No. 4.1, is DENIED. Defendant’s response is substantially code-compliant.

The motion to compel a further response to Form Interrogatory, Set One, No. 15.1, is DENIED.

Defendant’s response is substantially code-compliant. Defendant stated that they are unable to provide facts in support of the affirmative defenses at this time and that discovery is incomplete and ongoing. This is in essence a statement of insufficient knowledge at this time as well as a statement of efforts to obtain the information through discovery.

The motion to compel further responses to Form Interrogatory, Set One, No. 17.1, is GRANTED.

Defendant is to provide further responses to Form Interrogatories, Set One, No. 17.1, including the subparts, for the responses to each request for admission that is not an unqualified admission.

Defendant is to provide further code-compliant, verified responses, to Form Interrogatories, Set One, Nos. 2.13 and 17.1 within fifteen (15) days of this court’s order.

The motion to compel a further response to Requests for Admission, Set One, No. 30, is GRANTED.

The request is not overbroad and is relevant. The fact that Defendant may have been on lunch at the time of the incident does not preclude Defendant from providing a codecompliant response.

The motion to a compel further response to Requests for Admission, Set One, No. 31, is GRANTED.

The request is not overbroad and is relevant. The fact that Defendant may have been on lunch at the time of the incident does not preclude Defendant from providing a codecompliant response.

Motion to Compel Further Verified Responses and Production by Defendant Marianne Daughdrill to Demands for Production, Set One, And Request for Monetary Sanctions

The motion to compel a further response to Demands for Production, Set One, No. 4, is DENIED.

The motion to compel a further response to Demands for Production, Set One, No. 20, is GRANTED.

As there is no statement of compliance, Defendant’s response leaves open the possibility that further responsive documents may exist.
