Plaintiff’s motion to compel further responses to Requests for Admission, Set Two, is DENIED.

Defendant’s responses at issue are substantially code-compliant. Code of Civil Procedure section 2033.220 requires that each answer in response to a request for admission be as complete and straightforward as the information reasonably available to the responding party permits. Section 2033.220 further requires that a responding party (1) admit so much of a request as is true, either as expressed in the request itself, or as reasonably and clearly qualified by the responding party, (2) deny so much of the matter involved in the request as untrue, or (3) specify so much of which the responding party lacks sufficient information or knowledge. (See Code Civ. Proc. § 2033.220, subd. (b)(1)- (3).) Defendant’s responses are substantially code-compliant as they are reasonably qualified as they state they are based on the information available after a reasonable inquiry.

Although Plaintiff does not prevail on their motion, as the responses were not simple admissions or denials Plaintiff was justified in bringing the instant motion and Defendant was justified in opposing the motion.

Accordingly, all request for monetary sanctions is DENIED.
