Defendant Turk Street Investors, LLC's motion to compel further responses to form interrogatories, set one, is granted. The form interrogatories at issue are reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. (Code of Civil Procedure section 2017.010.)

Defendant demonstrated the responses were incomplete. Plaintiff did not demonstrate the merit of any objection. Defendant demonstrates that it attempted to meet and confer in good faith and plaintiff's responses were deficient.

Plaintiff provided otherwise sufficient but unverified responses to Interrogatory Nos.: 1.1, 2.5, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 4.2, 10.2, 11.1, 50.3, 50.4. (See Appleton v. Superior Court (1988) 206 Cal.App.3d 632, 636 [unverified response tantamount to no responses at all].)

Plaintiff provided deficient unverified responses to Interrogatory Nos.: 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 9.1, 9.2, 10.1, 10.3, 12.3, 12.4, 12.6, 14.1, 14.2, 50.2.

Plaintiff provided a verified response that was deficient for Interrogatory Nos.: 4.1, 6.1, 8.1 (numbered "8.0" in plaintiff's responses), 12.1, 13.1.

Plaintiff provided no response at all for Interrogatory Nos: 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 11.2, 12.2, 12.5, 12.7, 13.2, 17.1, 50.1, 50.5, and 50.6.

Plaintiff shall provide verified responsive answers to the cited form interrogatories by September 19, 2025. The record does not show Plaintiff acted with substantial justification in connection with this discovery and motion. Plaintiff shall pay Defendant $1,060 as sanctions by September 30, 2025.
