Defendant’s Renewed Motion to Compel Responses to Written Discovery and Monetary Sanctions
11. 23CV02903 Salvagno, Rachelle v. Tri Counties Bank
EVENT: Defendant’s Renewed Motion to Compel Responses to Written Discovery and Monetary Sanctions
Defendants Renewed Motion to Compel Responses to Written Discovery and Monetary Sanctions is GRANTED. Plaintiff is ordered to provide verified responses without objection within 10 days’ notice of this order. Although the Court is mindful of the explanations from Plaintiff concerning the delays in responding, ultimately those explanations do not excuse a delay of this length, considering the requests were served in December 2025. As a result, Plaintiff is sanctioned in the amount of $2,705.00, payable within 30 days. Defendant shall prepare a form of order consistent with this ruling within two weeks.

The Court will sign the proposed order with this modification.
