Defendant's unopposed motion to compel plaintiff to respond to its form interrogatories (set one) special interrogatories (set one), document inspection demands (set one), and request for statement of damages is granted. Plaintiff has failed to timely respond and has thereby waived objections. Plaintiff shall provide verified, objection-free responses within three weeks of notice of entry of this order.

Proc., section 2030.290, subd. (c); id., section 2031.300, subd. (c); Rules of Court, Rule 3.1348, subd. (a).)
