GENOA MARTELL VS. CONTEXTLOGIC, INC. (DBA "WISH)", A CORPORATION ET AL

Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Monday, November 10, 2025, Line 3. PLAINTIFF GENOA MARTELL's Motion To Compel Initial Responses To Plaintiff'S Requests For Production, Set Three (Cpp 2031.300).

Plaintiff Genoa Martell's Motion to Compel Initial Responses to Plaintiff's Requests for Production, Set Three is GRANTED. The discovery requests at issue appear reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. (See Code of Civil Procedure section 2017.010.) The record demonstrates Defendant did not provide any responses to the RFPs. No meet and confer requirement exists for motions to compel responses for requests for production of documents when no responses have been provided. (Code of Civil Procedure section 2031.300.)

Plaintiff electronically served the RFPs on Defendant Wish US Holdings, Inc. on August 22, 2025. On September 26, 2025, Defendants did not ask for an extension due to the transition between Defendant's counsel. Instead, they told Plaintiff in an e-mail that they would provide responses within a couple weeks. (Martell Decl., Ex. B.) More than a month later, Defendants still had not provided any responses to Plaintiff's requests.

While it appears Defendant has now served responses and, therefore, no order compelling responses is necessary, it remains true that Defendant misused discovery and breached its obligations under the Discovery Act. The court does not find Defendant Wish US Holdings, Inc. acted with substantial justification, nor does it find that imposition of sanctions Defendant Wish US Holdings, Inc. would otherwise be unjust. (See Code of Civil Procedure section 2031.300(c).) Defendant Wish US Holdings, Inc. shall pay $750 as sanctions, payable to the Clerk of the Court, payment no later than November 14, 2025, receipt filed no later than November 21, 2025. Such payment reimburses the court for a portion of the costs spent adjudicating this motion.
