Ruling

23CV-04736 Maria Rodriguez Barajas vs Dollar General Corporation

Motion for Relief from Admitted Admissions

The motion for relief from deemed admissions is GRANTED.

There exists a legitimate question as to whether the discovery at issue was actually served on March 13, 2026. Defendant’s assertion that discovery was never received is supported by the Declaration of Bradley J. Seliga and exhibits attached thereto. Further, there is a legitimate question as to whether the handling attorney, Bradley J. Seliga, was aware of the motion to compel and motion to have admissions deemed admitted. This is also supported by the Declaration of Bradley J. Seliga and exhibits attached thereto.

Failure to respond to discovery that was never served, or to be put on notice of the discovery motions so that they could be responded to would be mistake, inadvertence, or excusable neglect. In addition, due to the mistake, inadvertence, or excusable neglect, the Court finds that objections to discovery are not waived.

The Court will sign the order lodged on August 12, 2026.
