ANEISHA GREEN vs. WILSHIRE LAW FIRM

Plaintiff ANEISHA GREEN moves to compel Defendant WILSHIRE LAW FIRM to further respond to Form Interrogatory 15.1, requesting that Defendant state all facts supporting its general denial of and affirmative defenses to Plaintiff’s complaint and identify all witnesses and documents with information supporting those facts.

The Court notes that Defendant adequately states its facts supporting its general denial and affirmative defenses in its January 30, 2026 supplemental response. However, Defendant fails to respond to the subparts of Form Interrogatory 15.1 requiring it to identify persons and documents that support its facts. Defendant must further respond to Plaintiff’s form interrogatory to identify witnesses to its facts, identify documents that support its facts, and state the contact information of persons in possession of such documents. The court finds Defendant’s undue burden objection to production of this information in response to a form interrogatory unavailing.

As to Defendant’s objections, the court finds that the objections are not material to the disposition of the issue.

Code of Civil Procedure section 2030.300, subdivision (d) requires sanctions against a party that unsuccessfully makes or opposes a motion to compel further responses to interrogatories, unless the court finds that the losing party acted with substantial justification or that other circumstances weigh against the imposition of sanctions. The court imposes sanctions against Defendant in the sum of $1,350.00. (3 hours at $450.00 per hour).

Conclusion. Plaintiff’s motion is granted. Defendant is ordered to pay $1,350.00 in sanctions within thirty days of the date of this order.
