# Case Name Tentative 1. MacGregor- Name Change 2025-01480873 Before the court is the motion of petitioner Alexander Michael MacGregor (Petitioner) to enter omitted order (form NC-130). The motion is DENIED and the court sets an ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE HEARING for August 6, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., in Department C23, as to why the order previously issued on August 21, 2025, should not be stricken and a new order issued that does not include the language added at section 14 but otherwise grants the original petition.
Given the file in this matter is sealed, the court’s posted tentative ruling will not go into detail on the basis for the court’s tentative ruling, but the ruling is as set forth above because no authority has been presented that would authorize the issuance of two separate orders that would authorize two separate legal identities for the same person. The court acknowledges the stated purpose for the request, but the court has not been convinced the request is one that can be legally granted.

from Hodson. As more fully set forth below, the motion is GRANTED. The motion demonstrates the requests for production were served on Hodson on October 23, 2025. (Valinoti Decl., ¶ 9.) Hodson failed to provide a response to the requests and failed to produce the requested categories of documents. (Id. at ¶¶ 10-15, 30.) The requested relief therefore is warranted here under Code of Civil Procedure sections 708.030 and 2031.300. The motion therefore is GRANTED. Hodson is ordered to provide verified, codecompliant responses to the requests, without objection, and produce all responsive documents, within 20 days after service of notice of this ruling.
Osher’s request for sanctions also is GRANTED, in the reduced sum of $2,440. (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 708.030, subd. (c); 2031.300, subd. (c).) Hodson is ordered to pay these monetary sanctions to Osher, through its counsel of record, within 30 days after service of notice of this ruling. Counsel for Osher is ordered to give notice of this ruling.
