BRYAN WADA ET AL VS. LI BETTY MEI YI ET AL

Matter on calendar for Tuesday, July 29, 2025, Line 8, DEFENDANT FC COMPANY, INC.'s Motion To Compel Plaintiffs Pauline Ha's Responses To Request For Monetary Sanctions.

3 - Defendant FC Company, Inc.'s Motion to Compel from Plaintiff Pauline Ha Responses to Form and Special Interrogatories is GRANTED. The discovery requests at issue appear reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. (See CCP Section 2017.010.) Plaintiff Pauline Ha has not established that he has provided any responses to the form interrogatories. No meet and confer requirement exists for motions to compel responses for Form Interrogatories when no responses have been provided. (CCP Section 2030.290.) Plaintiff Pauline Ha shall serve verified, objection-free, substantive responses to FC Company, Inc.'s Form Interrogatories, Set One and FC Company, Inc.'s Special Interrogatories, Set One by August 19, 2025.

Plaintiff Pauline Ha did not act with substantial justification in connection with this discovery. Plaintiff Pauline Ha, counsel Huecchi Wong and HH Legal Group, jointly and severally, shall pay $945 to Moving Defendant FC Company, Inc. as sanctions, payment no later than August 19, 2025.

THE PARTIES ARE ADVISED stacked discovery motions are strongly disfavored. Going forward, stacked motions will be ordered off calendar in favor of individual motions focused each on a single discovery vehicle (e.g., Frogs, SRogs, RFPs, RFAs, deposition notice) addressed to a single, specific party.

For the 9:00 a.m. calendar, all attorneys and parties may appear in Department 302 remotely or in person. Remote hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom. (Dept. 302 Zoom ID 160 409 7690; Passcode 516287.) To appear remotely at the hearing, go to the court's website at sfsuperiorcourt.org under "Online Services," navigate to "Tentative Rulings," and click on the appropriate link, or dial the corresponding phone number.

Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to contestdept302tr@sftc.org with a copy to all other parties by 4pm stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests. The subject line of the email shall include the line number, case name and case number. The text of the email shall include the name and contact information, including email address, of the attorney or party who will appear at the hearing.

Counsel for the prevailing party is required to prepare a proposed order which repeats verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must email it to contestdept302tr@sftc.org prior to the hearing even if the tentative ruling is not contested.
