examinations. Plaintiffs are ORDERED to appear for and submit to mental examinations on a mutually agreeable date between the parties with J. Vincent Filoteo, Ph.D., at Regus Offices located at 333 City Blvd West, 17th Floor, Orange, CA 92868.

The scope of the examination will be limited to the follow tests: Test of Memory Malingering; Dot Counting Test; b Test; Rey Fifteen-Item Test (FIT); Wide Range Achievement Test-5 (WRAT-5) Math Computation; Batería Neuropsicológica en Español (BNE) Verbal Fluency, List Learning, Stroop; Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV, Mexican Battery (WAIS-IV-M) Similarities, Digit Span, Matrices, Vocabulary, Arithmetic, Symbol Search, Coding, Information, Visual; Wisconsin Card Sorting Test-64 (WCST-64); Color Trails, Trials 1 and 2 or Trails A and B; Semantic Fluency; Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R); Beck Depression Scale- Spanish (BDS-S); Beck Anxiety Inventory- Spanish (BAI-S); PTSD Checklist for DSM-5-Spanish (PCL-5-S); and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 Spanish (MMPI-3-S).

Plaintiffs shall have the right to record the entire examination by audio technology.

Within 30 days of the examination, Defendant will provide Plaintiffs' counsel a copy of a detailed report setting out the history, examinations, findings, including the results of all tests made, diagnoses, prognoses, and conclusions of the examination. This will include all raw data and testing materials.

Plaintiffs' counsel, defense counsel and all experts, consultants and employees of the respective firms shall maintain the security of all raw data, test materials and other medically private information obtained during the examination. However, such raw data, test materials and other medically private information may be disclosed to Plaintiffs' counsel, defense counsel and all experts, consultants and employees of the respective firms for use in this case. Such materials and data may also be shown to the trier of fact at the time of trial, or such other time as may be necessary for the adjudication of the above-captioned matter. These materials may be used for no other purpose, may not be disseminated to any other party and the parties shall take all reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of the above-identified materials.

Finally, the Court notes that Defendant filed one motion for what should have been two motions. Combining discovery motions allows the moving party to avoid paying the requisite filing fees. Filing fees are jurisdictional and it is mandatory for court clerks to demand and receive them. (See Duran v. St. Luke's Hospital (2003) 114 Cal.App.4th 457, 460.) Thus, Defendant is ordered to pay the additional filing fee to the Clerk of the Court within 15 days and to file proof of payment. Moving party is ordered to give notice.

Court's own motion, to 09/04/26 at 8:30 am, or to such later date that is convenient for the Court and counsel. Case Number: 25STCV35994 Hearing Date: August 24, 2026 Dept: 514 Bone v. So-Cal
