CARRIE MYLES VS. URBAN ALCHEMY ET AL

Matter on the LAW & MOTION/DISCOVERY CALENDAR for Monday, Jun-23-2025, LINE 4. PLAINTIFF CARRIE MYLES' Second Motion For An Order (1) Compelling Further Responses To Defendant'S Supplemental Interrogatory Responses (Set 1), Specifically Special Interrogatory 4, Pursuant To C.C.P Section 2030.300 Or, In The Alternative To Compelling Further Responses, (2) Request For Evidentiary Sanctions Pursuant To C.C.P Section 2030.300; And (3) Request For Monetary Sanctions For Attorney Fees And Costs In The Amount Of $5,939.56 Pursuant To C.C.P Section 2030.300 Jointly And Severally Against Defendant And Its Counsel.

Plaintiff Carrie Myules' second motion for further responses to special interrogatory 4 and for evidentiary and monetary sanctions is denied in its entirety. Defendant Urban Alchemy's request for sanctions is also denied. The portion of the motion seeking to compel further responses and for evidentiary sanctions is denied as moot since Urban Alchemy has fully responded to interrogatory 4 and also produced all of Ms. Wear's notes of her investigation. Both sides' requests for monetary sanctions are denied since both sides acted with substantial justification as to the matters relating to this motion.
