WELLS FARGO BANK N.A. ANTHONY LIO ANA E VALDILLEZ PRO SE

Plaintiff’s Motion to Deem Requests for Admissions Admitted (and of Nonappearance)

TENTATIVE RULING:

After review of all relevant filed pleadings, Plaintiff’s Motion to Deem Requests for Admissions (Set One) as Admitted, is GRANTED.

Proof of service was filed demonstrating service of the motion pleadings on the Defendant, but the Motion was unopposed. Per Plaintiff, Defendant has failed to respond at all to this discovery. MPA, pg. 1, line 25; Agne Decl., ¶ 2.

CCP 2033.280(b) allows the court to enter an order deeming facts in the Request for admissions to be admitted if the party to whom requests for admission are directed fails to serve a timely response. The court shall make this order, unless it finds that the party to whom the requests for admission have been directed has served, before the hearing on the motion, a proposed response to the requests for admission that is in substantial compliance with Section 2033.220. “[A] deemed admitted order establishes, by judicial fiat, that a nonresponding party has responded to the requests by admitting the truth of all matters contained therein.” Wilcox v. Birtwhistle (1999) 21 Cal.4th 973, 979.

Therefore, Plaintiff’s unopposed Motion to Deem Requests for Admissions (Set One) as Admitted, is GRANTED. As a proposed Order was submitted with the motion and the motion is unopposed, the Court will sign the proposed Order, modified as necessary.

Any party who contests a tentative ruling must email Dept20@sanmateocourt.org with a copy to all other parties by 4:00 p.m. stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests.

If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the Court by Minute Order and the proposed Order already submitted.
