LAW AND MOTION CALENDAR MAY 1, 2026
1. MANFREDI v. LAKELAND VILLAGE OWNERS ASSN., ET AL., 25CV1279
(A) Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Responses to Special Interrogatories (Set One)
(B) Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Responses to Request for Production (Set One)
(C) Plaintiffs’ Motion to Deem Matters Admitted
Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Responses to Special Interrogatories (Set One)
On March 17, 2026, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 2030.290 (failure to
serve timely response), plaintiffs filed a motion to compel responses to Special
Interrogatories (Set One) propounded upon the following defendants: (1) Felix
Wannenmacher; (2) Carol McInnis; (3) Allen Gribnau; (4) Lakeland Village Owners
Association; and (5) Gary Cerio. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 2030.290,
subdivision (c), plaintiffs’ motion requests monetary sanctions, and pursuant to Code of
Civil Procedure section 2023.030, plaintiffs’ motion requests evidence, issue, and
terminating sanctions.
It is the court’s understanding that each of the five defendants have served a
verified response to the interrogatories. Plaintiffs’ notice of motion indicates the
defendants served their responses on February 23, 2026, after 5:00 p.m. (plaintiffs claim
this was untimely). Because each of the five defendants have served a verified response,
the court denies the instant motion to compel as moot.
Plaintiffs’ request for an order compelling further responses based on the argument
that defendants’ untimely responses are insufficient would require a motion under Code
of Civil Procedure section 2030.300, subdivision (a) (motion to compel further
response). However, no such motion has been submitted to the court.
Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Responses to Request for Production (Set One) On March 17, 2026, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 2031.300 (failure to
serve timely response), plaintiffs filed a motion to compel responses to Request for
Production (Set One) propounded upon the following defendants: (1) Felix
