7. 25CV3271 WELLS FARGO BANK v. WALLWEBER Motion to Deem Admitted
On or about January 13, 2026, Plaintiff served their first set of discovery, namely, Request for Admissions - Set One (collectively, "Discovery") on Defendant. A true and correct copy of the Request for Admissions is attached as Exhibit "1", to the Declaration of Edgar B. Lopez, Esq.
The Defendant's responses were due on or before February 17, 2026, however none were received. On or about February 17, 2026, Plaintiff sent a meet and confer letter to the Defendant advising that the responses were past due; the letter further provided an extension in which to respond. However, to date, no responses have been received, which necessitated this motion. Attached to the Declaration of Edgar B. Lopez, Esq. as Exhibit "2" and incorporated herein by reference, is the meet and confer letter sent to the Defendant.
Any party may obtain discovery by written request that any other party to the action admit the genuineness of specified documents, or the truth of specified matters of fact, opinion relating to fact, or application of law to fact. See Cal. Code Civ. Proc. §2033.010. In addition, "[w]ithin 30 days after service of requests for admissions, the party to whom the requests are directed shall serve the original of the response to them on the requesting party ... " See Cal. Code Civ. Proc. §2033.250. Further, a responding party's untimely response to the request for admissions waives any objection to the requests, including one based on privilege or work product.
See Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 2033.280. Moreover, the requesting party may move for and the court may grant an order that the genuineness of any documents and the truth of any matters specified in the requests for admission be deemed admitted. See Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 2033.420
