The request for sanctions is GRANTED IN PART. Within 10 calendar days of notice of entry of order, Defendant shall pay to Plaintiffs, care of their attorney of record, sanctions in the amount of $3,660. Plaintiffs are directed to provide notice of entry of order.

A. PROCEDURAL MATTER

Plaintiffs and Cross-Defendants Denise Anderson, Trustee of The Denise E. Anderson Trust, and Scott R. Cowan, Trustee of The Scott R. Cowan Trust (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) move, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 2019.010 et. seq., 2030.210 et. seq., 2031.210 et seq., 2025.210 et seq., and 2033.280, subdivision (c),1 for an order compelling Defendant and Cross-Complainant United Rental Realty, LLC (“Defendant”) to serve verified responses to: Plaintiffs’ Second Set of (1) Requests for Production (“RFPs”); (2) Form Interrogatories—General (“FROGS”); (3) Special Interrogatories (“SPROGS”); and (4) Requests for Admission (“RFAS”) (collectively, “Subject Discovery”). Plaintiffs further move for monetary sanctions against Defendant in the amount of $3,960.

The matter originally came on for hearing on May 5, 2026 and was continued to coincide with the hearing noticed by Defendant’s filing on April 30, 2026 of a motion for relief for the failure to serve timely discovery responses to the Subject Discovery.

B. RFPS, SPROGS, AND FROGS

If a party to whom interrogatories or requests for production of documents were directed fails to serve a timely response, the responding party waives all objections and the propounding party may move for an order compelling responses and for a monetary sanction. (§§ 2030.290, 1 All subsequent statutory references are to the Code of Civil Procedure unless otherwise specified.
