LINE 3 || || MOTION TO COMPEL

In subsequent filings, Plaintiff has limited the scope of its Motion To Compel to two categories of documents: (1) Bank statements sufficient to show GSA’s cash flow, including cash balances, inflows and outflows from October 2022 to December 2023; and (2) Finance Committee communication reflecting 2023 financial planning, revenue projections, and funding priorities.

Given the deposition testimony of Scott Strittmatter (e.g. 42: 8-12, among others), the Court is persuaded of the relevance of the requested documents: “whether GSA can rely on financial conditions as a defense while withholding the documents that reflect that condition.” The production of such records is objective evidence directly “relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action...” CCP 2017.010.

Plaintiff’s motion to compel (limited to the two categories identified above) is GRANTED re category (1) and DENIED re category 2.

Mutual request for sanctions are DENIED.

Plaintiff to prepare the final order accompanied by the necessary Form EFS-020 within 2 court days of the hearing.
