BIENVENIDA BALANAG Case Number: | | CGC26632961 | Case Title: | | WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. VS. BIENVENIDA BALANAG | Court Date: | | 2026-05-29 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | Motion For An Order Deeming The Truth Of The Matters Specified In Plaintiffs Request For Admission As Admitted | Rulings: | | On the Law & Motion / Discovery calendar for May 29, 2026, line 11. PLAINTIFF WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.'S Motion for an Order Deeming the Truth of the Matters Specified in Plaintiffs Request for Admission as Admitted.

The unopposed motion to deem admitted the truth of matters specified in plaintiff Wells Fargo Bank N.A.'s first set of requests for admissions (Ex. 1 to Ramos Decl.) is granted. Defendant Bienvenida Balanag did not respond to this discovery (Ramos Decl., para. 5), and a deemed-admitted order is therefore mandatory. (Code Civ. Proc., sec. 2033.280, subds. (b) & (c).) Wells Fargo does not seek sanctions, but they are also mandatory. (Id., subd. (c).) Balanag shall pay nominal sanctions of $25 within 30 days of this order.
