PR0001056 IN THE MATTER OF FABIO ANGIOLI CORTARA
Motion to Compel Plaintiff Nicole M. Angiuli, Administrator of the Estate of Fabio Angiuli Cortara to Provide Further Responses to Requests for Production of Documents, and for Award of Monetary Sanctions, filed by Salvatore Cortara on 3/18/26.
Ruling. Pursuant to Marin County Rule, Probate 6.4 and Civil 2.13B, on April 24, 2026, this Court appointed Janet Lee (Jayli) Miller to preside as Discovery Facilitator for Salvatore Cortara’s Motion to Compel Nicole M. Angiuli, Administrator of the Estate of Fabio Angiuli Cortara to Provide Further Responses to Requests for Production of Documents, and for Award of Monetary Sanctions.
The Court has not received a Declaration of Non-Resolution from either party, in particular the moving party, five court days prior to the hearing on the motion set for May 28, 2026, as required by MCR Civ 2.13H. The Court reminds the parties that compliance with MCR Civ 2.13H not only includes the timely filing of the Declaration of Non-Resolution by each party five court days prior to the hearing, but also requires that “[t]he Declaration shall not exceed three pages and shall briefly summarize the remaining disputed issues and each party’s contentions.” (MCR Civ 2.13H(1), emphasis added.)
The Court concludes and expects that this discovery matter is being resolved by the facilitator. The motion is therefore ordered OFF CALENDAR. (MCR Civ 2.13H(2).) Should the parties fail to reach resolution through the facilitator, either party may request (by ex parte application) that the Court reset the motion for an expedited hearing.
