Xuan Jiang v. Xiaoyin Qu et al.

Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Friday, April 24, 2026, Line 6. 1 - Defendant Run the World, Inc.'s unopposed Motion To Compel Compliance With Responses To Requests For Production, Set One And For Award Of Sanctions is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.

Defendant moves under Code of Civil Procedure section 2031.320. Section 2031.320(a) provides: "If a party filing a response to a demand for inspection, copying, testing, or sampling under Sections 2031.210, 2031.220, 2031.230, 2031.240, and 2031.280 thereafter fails to permit the inspection, copying, testing, or sampling in accordance with that party's statement of compliance, the demanding party may move for an order compelling compliance."

Plaintiff Xuan Jiang here responded to RFP. Set One in December 2025 yet has not produced any documents responsive to the subject requests as of March 26, 2026. The requests are not exceedingly broad and Plaintiff has not justified the delay in production, which the court finds unreasonable.

Plaintiff is ordered to produce all materials responsive to RFP, Set One nos. 1-7, 10-29, 37, 39-41 no later than 15 days after notice of this order. Plaintiff Xuan Jiang shall pay $1,060 to Defendant Run the World, Inc. as sanctions, payment no later than 20 court days from notice of this order. (Code of Civil Procedure sections 2023.010(d).) To the extent Defendant seeks different or additional relief, the motion is denied.
