25CV113499: HELMBRECHT vs BEMESDERFER, et al. 09/08/2026 Hearing on Motion to Deem Request for Admissions Admitted filed by KARL BEMESDERFER, in his capacity as Trustee of the Karl and Sandra Bemesderfer Family Trust dated May 17, 1995 (Defendant) + CRS# A-113499-002 in Department 17

Tentative Ruling - 09/02/2026 Chad A. Stegeman

The unopposed motion to have requests for admissions deemed admitted is granted; however, the requested attorney fees are unsubstantiated. The Tecson Declaration does not state what their hourly rate is and merely attached a fee matrix without more, and the fee matrix also does not cover the applicable time frame. The requests for admissions are deemed admitted and the court awards two hours of attorney time for this unopposed motion at $350/hour for a total discovery sanction of $700, to be paid by Plaintiff to Defendants' counsel within 30 days of this order.
