GABRIELLE WAMPFLER ROBERT J. ANAYA J STYLE AT HOME, INC. MARYSIA S. OKREGLAK

Defense Motion to Compel Further Responses to Form Interrogatories

TENTATIVE RULING:

Defendant J Style at Home, Inc.’s unopposed “Motion to Compel Responses to Form Interrogatories, Set One, Without Objections,” filed December 31, 2025, is GRANTED.

Defendant’s December 31, 2025 Request for Judicial Notice is GRANTED. (Evid. Code § 452, subd. (d).)

On April 30, 2026, plaintiff filed a “Notice of Non-Opposition” to this Motion, stating that on February 26, 2026, she served responses to the Form Interrogatories. Plaintiff’s “Notice of Non-Opposition” suggests that this Motion to Compel has been rendered moot and does not require further court intervention. Plaintiff is incorrect.

Defendant’s May 12, 2026 Reply papers, which attach plaintiff’s February 26, 2026 responses (which were not attached to plaintiff’s “Notice of Non-Opposition”), demonstrate that the responses are deficient. By serving responses many months after the deadline, plaintiff has waived both the right to assert objections, and the option to produce documents in lieu of a narrative response. (Code Civ. Proc. § 2030.290, subd. (a).) Plaintiff’s February 26, 2026 responses improperly include both objections and numerous references to documents in lieu of providing a narrative response.

Within ten (10) days of notice of entry of this Order, plaintiff shall serve amended responses to the subject Form Interrogatories (Set One), without any objections (including privilege objections), which have been waived, and without exercising the option to produce documents in lieu of narrative responses, which has been waived.

If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the court. Thereafter, defendant’s counsel shall prepare a written order consistent with the court’s ruling for the court’s signature, pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1312 and Local Rule 3.403(b)(iv), and provide written notice of the ruling to all parties who have appeared in this action. The order should be e-filed only, do not email or mail a hard copy to the court.
