forthwith. The requirements for requesting oral argument under Local Rule 2.9 remain in effect. However, the Court may grant belated requests for oral argument or continuance of hearing, made by any party who represents it did not timely receive the required notice, regardless of whether or not moving party is present at the hearing.
Plaintiff Caroline Geitner moves, pursuant to California Code of Civil procedure 2030.290, subdivision (a), for relief from waiver of objections to Defendant ST. Joseph Health Northern California, LLC.’s Special Interrogatories (Set Two).
The Court finds, from the evidence presented, that Ms. Geitner has served a response that is in substantial compliance with the relevant provisions of the Civil Discovery Act, and that her failure to serve a timely response was the result of mistake, inadvertence, or excusable neglect. (Code Civ. Proc., § 2030.290, subd. (a).) This Order is without prejudice to Defendant’s right to file a motion to compel discovery should it determine such a motion is necessary.
The Motion is, therefore, GRANTED.
