J. DENNIS BONNEY VS. 1810 JACKSON STREET, A CONDOMINIUM ET AL

Matter on the Law & Motion and Discovery Calendar for Friday, January 2, 2026, Line 2, PLAINTIFF VIVIAN KENNEDY'S MOTION TO COMPEL THE FURTHER DEPOSITION OF DEFENDANT 1810 JACKSON STREET HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION'S PERSON MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE AND JUDY HAYES.

The motion by plaintiff Vivian Kennedy to compel subsequent depositions of Judy Hayes and the PMK for 1810 Jackson Street is denied. The court finds no good cause.

As to the PMK, Kennedy's moving papers make conclusory arguments about the importance of the late-produced documents and appear to rest on the assertion that there must be a deposition to cover any produced document. Kennedy does not attach the documents to her moving papers or describe why there is good cause for testimony concerning them. The HOA persuasively argues that they are sufficiently cumulative of other documents previously produced.

As to Hayes, Kennedy's moving papers articulate no connection between Hayes and the late-produced documents.
