2-PLAINTIFFS KIM MCLAUGHLIN, and GARY SPICER'S Motion To Compel Defendant To Further Respond To Special Interrogatories, Set One, And For Monetary Sanctions Against Defendant And Its Attorneys. As described in the motion to compel form interrogatory responses, the meet and confer efforts here were sufficient.

Regarding the sole Special Interrogatory at issue in this motion, the City appears to have responded with its verified response. That special interrogatory requests a date each "truncated dome" was installed. It is unclear what further response Plaintiffs want. Defendant has provided its best estimate and vows to amend responses if it discovers new facts. Therefore, the motion is denied. Both parties acted with substantial justification. Thus, the court declines to issue sanctions.

For the 9:00 a.m. calendar, all attorneys and parties may appear in Department 301 remotely or in person. Remote hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom. (Dept. 301 Zoom ID 161 502 4290; Passcode 700956.)

The text of the email shall include the name and contact information, including email address, of the attorney or party who will appear at the hearing.

Counsel for the moving party is required to prepare a proposed order which repeats verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must email it to contestdept301tr@sftc.org prior to the hearing even if the tentative ruling is not contested.
