DIANNE MORRIS ET AL Case Number: | | CGC25622463 | Case Title: | | BRIDGE MELLICHAMP ET AL VS. DIANNE MORRIS ET AL | Court Date: | | 2026-05-22 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | Notice Of Motion To Compel Discovery Responses From Defendant Ann Marie Diogiovanni | Rulings: | | Matter on calendar for Friday, May 22, 2026, Line 9, PLAINTIFF BRIDGE MELLICHAMP, JASON ROSENTHAL, ARI ROSENTHAL MELLICHAMP, MAYA ROSENTHAL MELLICHAMP's Motion To Compel Discovery Responses From Defendant Ann Marie Diogiovanni.

Plaintiffs Bridge Mellichamp and Jason Rosenthal's motion to compel responses to form interrogatories (set one), special interrogatories (set one), requests for production of documents (set one), and requests for admission (set one), from defendant Ann Marie DeGiovanni is granted. DeGiovanni shall respond forthwith and in no event later than two weeks from this order. Sanctions are denied. DeGiovanni failed to timely respond to the discovery and has waived objections. Pursuant to the parties' agreement (Wolcott Decl., Ex. 1), DeGiovanni may continue to assert privilege objections. Plaintiffs seek sanctions, but failed to specify the type of sanctions sought in their notice of motion. (See Code Civ. Proc., sec. 2023.040.) In any event the court would find sanctions unjust based on the facts set out in the Wolcott Declaration.
