Notice Of Motion And Motion To Compel Plaintiffs Bryan Wada'S Responses To Request For Production, Set One And Request For Monetary Sanctions
Matter on calendar for Tuesday, July 29, 2025, Line 8, DEFENDANT FC COMPANY, INC.'s Motion To Compel Plaintiffs Bryan Wada's Responses To Request For Production, Set One And Request For Monetary Sanctions.
1- Defendant FC Company, Inc.'s Motion to Compel from Plaintiff Bryan Wada Responses to Form and Special Interrogatories is GRANTED. The discovery requests at issue appear reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. (See CCP Section 2017.010.)
Plaintiff Bryan Wada has not established that he has provided any responses to the form interrogatories. No meet and confer requirement exists for motions to compel responses for Form Interrogatories when no responses have been provided. (CCP Section 2030.290.)
Plaintiff Bryan Wada shall serve verified, objection-free, substantive responses to FC Company, Inc.'s Form Interrogatories, Set One and FC Company, Inc.'s Special Interrogatories, Set One by August 19, 2025.
Plaintiff Bryan Wada did not act with substantial justification in connection with this discovery. Plaintiff Bryan Wada, counsel Huecchi Wong and HH Legal Group, jointly and severally, shall pay $945 to Moving Defendant FC Company, Inc. as sanctions, payment no later than August 19, 2025.
THE PARTIES ARE ADVISED stacked discovery motions are strongly disfavored. Going forward, stacked motions will be ordered off calendar in favor of individual motions focused each on a single discovery vehicle (e.g., Frogs, SRogs, RFPs, RFAs, deposition notice) addressed to a single, specific party.
For the 9:00 a.m. calendar, all attorneys and parties may appear in Department 302 remotely or in person. Remote hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom. (Dept. 302 Zoom ID 160 409 7690; Passcode 516287.)
To appear remotely at the hearing, go to the court's website at sfsuperiorcourt.org under "Online Services," navigate to "Tentative Rulings," and click on the appropriate link, or dial the corresponding phone number.
Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to contestdept302tr@sftc.org with a copy to all other parties by 4pm stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests. The subject line of the email shall include the line number, case name and case number. 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 prevailing party is required to prepare a proposed order which repeats verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must email it to contestdept302tr@sftc.org prior to the hearing even if the tentative ruling is not contested.

The court no longer provides a court reporter in the Law & Motion Department. Parties may retain their own reporter, who may appear in the courtroom or remotely. A retained reporter must be a California certified court reporter (CSR), for only a CSR's transcript may be used in California courts. If a CSR is being retained, include in your email all of the following: their name, CSR and telephone numbers, and their individual work email address. =(302/JMQ). | |
