5. CU0002738 Roberta McGregor v. Victoria Yeager
No appearances are required.
Defendant/Cross-Complainant Victoria S. Yeager’s (“Defendant”) motion regarding discovery is continued on the Court’s motion until December 11, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. for consideration of an amended motion and associated briefing.
In her August 3, 2026, motion, Defendant moved to/for: 1) an order to deem requests for admission (sets one and two) admitted; 2) compel initial responses to special interrogatories (set one); 3) compel further responses to form interrogatories (sets one, two, and three), special interrogatories (set two) and requests for production of documents (sets one and two); 4) leave to propound additional discovery; and 5) sanctions.
As part of the motion at issue, Plaintiff reports that she served various amended discovery responses upon Defendant apparently to address potential deficiencies in connection with previous responses. Defendant appears to suggest she has not received all of the discovery responses. Both parties, without authorization from the Court, have filed numerous pleadings 9
outside the scope of normal motion practice attempting to address the discovery issues. At this juncture, the record presented by the parties is wholly unclear as to what discovery responses are currently the operative responses, whether Defendant believes they are sufficient or otherwise, and the position of Plaintiff to the extent there are any purported deficiencies. The Court lacks the ability to thoughtfully adjudicate any dispute that potentially exists between the parties.
The parties are directed to meet and confer in person with respect to all of the discovery requests at issue to establish definitively what the operative responses are and that Defendant has received the same no later than September 11, 2026. As part of the meet and confer, Plaintiff shall personally deliver all the operative responses to Defendant. No later than September 14, 2026, the parties shall jointly submit each of the operative responses to the Court in a single filing which clearly identifies each separate operative response.
Afterwards, should Defendant believe any of the responses are inadequate, she is granted leave to file an amended motion by no later than October 16, 2026. If an amended motion is not required, Defendant shall file a withdrawal of her original motion by the same date. Solely the amended motion will be adjudicated and solely the operative responses filed by September 14, 2026 will be considered as part of that amended motion. Should a motion be filed, any opposition shall be filed and served by November 13, 2026; and any reply shall be noticed and served by November 25, 2026.
No other filings are permitted other than those noted herein.
The parties are admonished as follows: Under the Civil Rules of Procedure and Rules of Court, a moving party is allowed to file a motion with a memorandum of points and authorities (15 pages maximum) and supporting documents, an opposing party is allowed to file a single opposition with memorandum (15 pages maximum) and supporting documents, and the moving party is permitted to file a single reply (10 pages maximum). See Code Civ. Proc. 1005(b), Rules of Court, Rules 3.112-3.113. All briefing shall comply with the requirements of the Rules of Procedure and Rules of Court, without exception. The Court, as necessary, will exercise its authority to strike and disregard future filings that do not comply with these rules and/or impose monetary sanctions for failure to abide by applicable rules.
