as an unidentified virus sweeps the country , the korean government declares martial law . as the country descends into chaos , one city , busan , is rumoured to have successfully fended off the virus outbreak and remains the only beacon of hope for those not yet infected . but when the virus breaks out on an express train to busan , passengers on board must fight for their own survival .
yeon’s eventual surrender to such cartoonish imagery may be unsurprising given his background in animation ( this is his first live - action feature ) , but “train to busan” is easily his least realistic film . this one is pitched for the big houses and the cheap seats , betraying the bitter streaks of humanism that made previous work like “the fake” and “the king of pigs” feel so unflinchingly real . “train to busan” preaches that equality is the key to survival , but yeon doesn’t do the rest of us any favors by sacrificing the very things that make him special .
when people mention asian horror , they think of japan . but korean horror tales are truly frightening and i hope ' train to busan ' will make the world realise that our local movies are just as scary - or even better .

also earning five nominations – though not for best film , script or best director – was korea’s pan - asian hit “ train to busan . ” other commercial hits , japan’s “your name , ” “the mermaid” and “operation mekong” only secured one nomination each .
he also reportedly added that the
train to busan 2
storyline will most probably be revolving around gong yoo ' s seok woo character . the movie will further explore the possibility of bringing the dead back to life , i . e . discovering a cure for the growing zombie dominance .
this is not a scene from the upcoming the girl on the train . this is what happens when muggles try to board hogwarts express .
seok - woo is divorced , and his job leaves him unable to devote barely any time to his young daughter , su - an . for her birthday , su - an wants nothing more than to take the train from seoul to her mother’s home 280 miles away in busan . convinced , seok - woo takes off from work to accompany her on what very well may be the last train ride either of them take . shortly after they depart from seoul , reports of riots and mass chaos throughout the country begin to flicker through , before communication becomes entirely cut off . soon , some sort of virus begins to spread from passenger to passenger , quickly filling the train with bloodthirsty zombies that begin to kill those on board . now , seok - woo , su - an , and a motley crew of surviving passengers must do their best to fend off the zombie horde as the train careens toward busan , where the end of the line may only be the beginning . . . ifit’s still there at all
equally terrifying is the infection and the rate at which it spreads rapidly between those unlucky enough to be trapped onboard as the high - speed train races to its final destination .
ambivalence usually splits public reaction in times like this . on the one hand , train to busan provides a pretty solid square one for another film to work with , and a remake would probably guide more eyeballs to the original . on the other , a perfectly good train to busan already exists , and the necessity of a re - do without subtitles is rather suspect . but as long as the filmmakers tapped for this new production bring something of their own to the table instead of re - staging all the original’s set pieces , there may be hope for this yet . take a look at the trailer for the original below :
train to busan was produced by redpeter film and opened though new this year , when it generated 11 , 565 , 459 admissions and the equivalent of $ 83 . 5m at the local box office according to the korean film council to become the biggest local hit of the year . it currently ranks as south korea’s ninth biggest hit .
in fact , almost every speaking character in the motley train crew has a solid base , and it’s easy to root for them . they fight through the train but have palpable struggles , in a fashion reminiscent of snowpiercer with less fantastical elements .
danny lee and vincent kim at contents panda , in charge of international sales and distribution of train to busan , negotiated the deal with cecile gaget , gaumont ' s head of international production and distribution . gaumont was among a number of studios that the hollywood reporter exclusively reported to be pursuing the deal .
this collection of random types goes all aboard a fast train from seoul to busan one fine morning , just as the signs of a zombie outbreak are starting to show : convoys of emergency response vehicles rushing past the protagonists , fires and muffled explosions in the distance , an eerie quiet over the city .
take the poseidon adventure . put it on a train . add yer zombie apocalypse . stir . alright .
“what i liked was seeing people become heroes and villains within that single train ride , ” said khatijah .
starring gong yoo ( coffee prince , 2007 ) as a workaholic fund manager who travels with his daughter by train from seoul to busan on her birthday , their journey soon descends into chaos when there is an outbreak of a virus that turns the passengers into crazed zombies .
train to busan makes the wise decision to have its plot be driven by its characters and not the other way around . as straightforward as the premise is ( a distant father takes his daughter to visit her mother , his estranged wife , while a zombie outbreak threatens to overrun their train ) , it’s the interactions between the characters and the relationships they forge , and not , as one would expect , the rampage raging outside ( and two coaches over ) , that makes this film so special .
kim eui - sung and ma dong - seok were the highlight of train to busan for me . this is a well deserved award . he was so real and i can ' t help but think of the sewol ferry tragedy . he is that kind of ceo that we don ' t get to see .
the thriller is set on a bullet train travelling from seoul to busan . on board are a variety of characters , including a workaholic and his daughter , a group of young baseball players , a couple expecting their first child and two elderly sisters . and there happens to be a passenger infected by a virus .
here’s a south korean zombie tale that’s almost in the vein of last year’s touching father - daughter drama maggie . “almost” , because while this story will also gnaw at your heart rather than just your gut , train to busan has more of world war z in its dna .
as reported by soompi , gong yoo even confirmed with the media that he will be reprising his role as seok woo in the
train to busan 2 .
in the last movie , that character appeared to have turned into a zombie . therefore , it is safe to assume that he will return as a zombie too , in the upcoming sequel .
all of that begins to change when seok - woo retrieves the girl for a birthday trip to visit her mother ( she must be some kind of monster not to get custody in this situation ) and they take an early morning train — oblivious to the threatening imagery on the periphery of yeon’s compositions . the last person to board the high - speed ktx train is a girl with a curious bite on her leg .
according to a new report from the hollywood reporter , french movie studio gaumont has picked up the u . s . remake rights to
train to busan
after a bidding war . given that the film was seen by over 11 million people in korea and was sold to over 150 territories , it ' s no surprise that nabbing the remake rights was a high priority of many movie studios .
zombie thriller , “train to busan” set multiple box office records in south korea and seems an unstoppable force . officially opening on 1 , 785 screens on wednesday , “train” earned $ 34 . 3 million from 4 . 75 million admissions over its opening five day run . that represented 75 % of the total weekend box office . including $ 4 . 29 million from the previous week’s [ … ]

yoo gong stars as a mutual fund manager reluctantly taking his daughter ( soo - an kim in a gut - wrenching performance ) by train to live with his estranged wife . trouble starts as soon as the train departs , with passengers rapidly succumbing to a growing zombie plague , and accelerates to a stunning climax that leaves viewers breathless and emotionally drained .
workaholic fund manager seok - wu ( gong yoo ) takes his estranged young daughter su - an ( kim su - an ) on the ktx high - speed train to busan to visit his ex - wife . the last person to hop on is a teenage girl whose bare thighs are crisscrossed with bulging veins . yet , passengers and train crew get more alarmed over a homeless man hiding out in the washroom — one of the film’s frequent barbed comments on snobbery in korean society .
yes , jeer . because , like all good walking / running / commuting dead efforts , train to busan reminds us that , aside from the everpresent threat of the infected , it’s regular people who will do anything to survive – anything , including sacrificing their fellow passengers to buy a few extra seconds of safety – that constitute the most insidious , unexpected and heartless threats .
the fact that yeon made a film with a theme that could be very unfamiliar to korean audiences is extremely fascinating . that is the part that i like the most about this film ,
said actor gong yoo , who plays one of the lead roles in the film
train to busan
to be released july 20 , as a fund manager dad who tries to protect his young daughter from the zombies .
best supporting actor kim eui - sung ( train to busan ) is having a stellar year . he said in his acceptance speech , “i’ve worked many kinds of jobs , but there’s nothing better than being an actor . i get paid to do something this fun , and now i even get an award for it—it’s incredible . ” aww .

sok - woo , a father with not much time for his daughter , soo - ahn , are boarding the ktx , a fast train that shall bring them from seoul to busan . but during their journey , the apocalypse begins , and most of the earth ' s population become flesh craving zombies . while the ktx is shooting towards busan , the passenger ' s fight for their families and lives against the zombies - and each other .
great movie ! especially for gong yoo and kim soo ahn really make me can ' t stop to cry . gong yoo oppa , you are really great actor . kim soo ahn , you will be a great actress . i believe about that . pd nim and all crew train to busan , thank you very much for the great movie !
tv screens on board the train also inform passengers what’s happening in different parts of the country as the government claims to have everything under control . martial law is in place , and the public is asked to refrain from spreading rumours – an apparent reference to the response to mers in 2015 .
after the near - perfect first hour of “train to busan , ” the film slows its progress and makes a few stops that feel repetitive , but the journey recovers nicely for a memorable finale . you could call it “train of the living dead” or “ ' snowpiercer ' with zombies . ” whatever you call it , if it’s playing in your city and you’ve ever been entertained by a zombie movie , it’s hard to believe you wouldn’t be entertained by this one .
if nothing else train to busan is a high - octane chase movie , a race against time to save not only people but also their very souls from rampant consumerism . when the high tech ktx train can’t make the final journey a trusty , working class diesel locomotive is sought to finish the job in a teeth clenching set piece . just like in the korean war the back breaking and dangerous physical work of the soldier , the farmer and the factory worker and not a smart phone in sight saved the nation .
train to busan is largely set on board the express , but as it is forced to make stops along the way , yeon gets an opportunity to move to grander set - pieces , including aerial shots which give context to the scale of the outbreak . many of these exterior scenes are more reliant on cgi , which is ironically where the film starts to lose steam . the cgi itself is competent and creative in places , but ultimately , the film works best when the passengers are on board battling it out for survival .
before this takes place , the film introduces one of the main characters seok - woo ( gong yoo ) , an affluent fund manager who cares more about his job than his daughter su - an ( kim su - ran ) who wants to go to busan to see her mother for her birthday . he reluctantly agrees to take her to his ex - wife , hoping to be back in seoul by lunchtime . they board the train , and not long after it departs , the virus begins to run through sections of the carriages after which it’s a race for survival .
american novelist marianne wiggins wrote : “what thrills me about trains is not their size or their equipment but the fact that they are moving , that they embody a connection between unseen places . ” train to busan unites the classes divided by wealth and education as well as over six decades between past and present . when a soldier decides whether or not a silhouette in a tunnel is a person or not , the scene is reminiscent of cross of iron , when a simple act of humanity could be the difference between salvation and damnation . as bloody and visceral as train to busan is , we find hope in the former .
no one transforms b - movies into high art quite like the koreans . it’s a careless generalisation to make , but nonetheless , quite an accurate one . and if they keep producing films like train to busan , which has been generating consistent buzz since its midnight premiere at this year’s cannes film festival , it is a generalisation i will proudly keep making .
when it comes to zombie , you have two choices : fast or slow . the train to busan zombies are fast ones , resurrecting in flailing almost - break - dancing movements and lunging at the nearest victim . the film does have one undead twist : these zombies are sight driven . if a coat is thrown on their head , or a widow covered with newspapers , they stop moving . this leads to some great scenes when the train goes through a tunnel , blinding the zombies into inactivity while the heroes sneak by .

when
train to busan
initially released , not many expected it to be as big a hit it turned out to be . however , the movie has managed to bring the prevailing assumption and is reportedly coming back in the form a sequel . as far as the cast of the movie is concerned , there were many reports that claimed that the
goblin
actor gong yoo was to be replaced in the upcoming movie . however , a new rumor claims that he will indeed return .
the star ’s movie reviewer davin arul wrote : “director yeon sang - ho makes full use of the cramped confines of train coaches to evoke maximum thrills and suspense . ”
as a zombie outbreak sweeps the country , a dad and his daughter take a harrowing train journey in an attempt to reach the only city that ' s still safe .
seok - woo is a workaholic fund manager with tom cruise hair and an inconvenient daughter , su - an , who desperately wants her dad to take notice of her on her birthday . his ex - wife lives in busan , one of two cities not to be occupied by the north during the first phase of the korean war and defended by un troops who set up a the pusan perimeter in 1950 . busan has always been a beacon of hope , one of the busiest seaports in the world and a gateway to japan . su - an is unimpressed by her sporadic father and wants to board a ktx train to see her estranged mother .
blood , brains and mayhem all feature prominently as hordes of zombies devour unfortunate passengers trapped on board a bullet train from seoul .
for almost 45 minutes , yeon sang - ho ’s “ train to busan ” is on pace to become the best , most urgent zombie movie since “28 days later . ” and then — at once both figuratively and literally — this broad korean blockbuster derails in slow - motion , sliding off the tracks and bursting into a hot mess of generic moments and digital fire .
seok - woo ( gong yoo ) is a fund manager in seoul . he is separated from his wife and lives with his daughter soo - an ( kim soo - ahn ) . seok - woo doesn ' t spend much time with his daughter or show affection to her . on the night before soo - an ' s birthday , soo - an insists on seeing her mother for her birthday . seok - woo has no other choice , but to take her to busan . early the next morning , they board the ktx train for busan at seoul station .
the only passenger to receive special attention , however , is the homeless man in the bathroom . all zombie movies need a social conscience , and “train to busan” is nominally devoted to the subject of economic discrimination . survival isn’t possible , as seok - woo soon learns , when the rich think only for themselves , and it’s telling that the ktx crew is so preoccupied with removing the poor stowaway that they fail to notice when a young girl starts eating the paying customers .
following a motley crew on a bumpy ride from seoul to busan to escape a zombie outbreak , writer - director yeon sang - ho ’s action - horror railroad movie “ train to busan ” pulses with relentless locomotive momentum . as an allegory of class rebellion and moral polarization , it proves just as biting as bong joon - ho’s sci - fi dystopia “snowpiercer , ” while delivering even more unpretentious fun . yeon has displayed recognizably cinematic sensibilities in his last three indie anime features — “king of pigs , ” “fake” and “seoul station” — so it’s not surprising that he transitions easily into live - action , though his scathing , nihilistic vision of humanity is watered down for wider mainstream appeal . buyers for asian - friendly genre products should clamber to board “train . ”

hit korean zombie film “train to busan” will be remade in english by french studio gaumont . the deal was unveiled wednesday jointly by gaumont and the film’s korean distributor - financier next entertainment world . the film premiered in the midnight screening section of the cannes festival in may and attracted immediate sales and remake interest . fox and [ … ]
the claustrophobic tension of “train to busan” is amplified after a brilliantly staged sequence in a train station in which our surviving travelers learn that the entire country has gone brain - hungry . they discover that the undead can’t quite figure out door handles and are mostly blind , so tunnels and lines of sight become essential . sang - ho also keeps up his social commentary , giving us characters who want to do anything to survive , and others who will do what it takes to save others . early in the film , seok - woo tells his daughter , “at a time like this , only watch out for yourself , ” but he learns that this isn’t the advice we should live by or pass down to our children . without spoiling anything , the survivors of “train to busan” are only so lucky because of the sacrifice of others . and the film is thematically stronger than your average zombie flick in the way it captures how panic can make monsters of us all , and it is our responsibility to overcome that base instinct in times of crisis .
but oh , those first 45 minutes : they’re genre heaven ( or the undead equivalent ) . equal parts “snowpiercer” and “world war z , ” the film introduces itself as the rare pastiche with enough personality to feel like something new . a sequel of sorts to yeon’s “seoul station , ” which received limited festival play and never received u . s . distribution , “train to busan” unwraps its premise so elegantly that no prior knowledge is required to get swept along by its opening act .
we open with a truck driving through a biochemical quarantine zone ( “tiny leak , my arse” ) and hitting a deer that promptly springs back to life with milky malice in its eyes . meanwhile , divorced fund manager seok - woo ( gong yoo ) scans news reports of “mysterious fish death” . he is too tied up with a big business deal to attend his daughter’s singing recital , while all young su - an ( kim su - an ) wants for her birthday is to visit her mother in busan , a request to which seok - woo grudgingly accedes . but as father and daughter board the high - speed ktx train from seoul to busan , so too does a wildfire plague that will give new meaning to the phrase “passenger disturbance” .
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …
i even have a friend who loved it because she takes the same train every time she goes home ,
said mr hahn .
as the train leaves the station , we catch glimpses of the unfolding infection mostly missed by the passengers due to their prejudice , or their own zombification , which occurs through their obsession with social media . when the outbreak hits the train it spreads like wild fire , the zombies cracking sinew and bones as a weird concoction of rigor mortis and athletic prowess turns them into ruthlessly effective killing machines . like snowpiercer before it , train to busan is a film about doors and separation , a closed society that is terrified of breaking conventions , the body politic scared of their own reflection . when the passengers flee between the carriages we see just how dysfunctional south korean society really is .
zombie - movie purists mighty scoff at the usual cliches and a general lack of gore . but while “train to busan” doesn’t redefine the genre , it does stand as the best zombie film since “28 days later” and maybe even the original “night of the living dead . ” it ' s for those who want gut - wrenching , not just guts .
as the outside world and a substantial portion of the train is consumed by chaos , the safest place to hide is in one coach . the claustrophobia gives the film an almost hitchcockian edge , despite the frequent scenes of carnage , and brings to mind the brilliant canadian zombie film pontypool ( set in the confines of a radio booth ) and the british series dead set ( the big brother house ) . its complete disregard for zombie rules aside ( it’s more world war z than shaun of the dead ) , what elevates train to busan is the sheer skill with which it is made .

in september 2003 , pelton - shepherd filed a complaint for declaratory relief and monies owed against delta . according to pelton - shepherd ' s complaint , delta had served ( pursuant to an oral agreement ) as a distributor of pelton - shepherd ' s gel packs in southern california between january 1997 and may 2003 . according to pelton - shepherd , delta had terminated the distribution agreement in may 2003 and pelton - shepherd had accepted the termination , but delta was continuing to claim the right to commissions for gel packs sold by pelton - shepherd . pelton - shepherd sought a declaration that the distribution agreement had been terminated . pelton - shepherd also alleged that delta owed pelton - shepherd in excess of $ 29 , 714 . 75 in connection with a joint venture for a packaging distribution business in northern california that had been part of the same oral agreement . pelton - shepherd sought damages in the amount of $ 29 , 714 . 75 .

the way of life established by the ‘shepherd kings’ of the darling downs lasted less than fifty years . throughout the second half of the nineteenth century , they were faced with changing political attitudes , as successive governments introduced land acts designed to reduce their enormous holdings in support of closer agricultural settlement .

the motion was heard on september 28 , 2006 . the court ' s tentative decision was to deny the motion , but at the hearing pelton - shepherd ' s attorney convinced the court to withhold its ruling pending a deposition of delta ' s custodian of records “on the issue of production of documents . ” the court rejected pelton - shepherd ' s request that the deposition take place in stockton , but told pelton - shepherd ' s attorney that if he could “convince [ the court ] that this statement [ 19 ] was erroneous , [ the court would ] reimburse [ him ] for [ his ] expenses going to los angeles . ”
from the subsequent default judgment in favor of pelton - shepherd , delta appeals , arguing the trial court erred in granting pelton - shepherd ' s underlying motion to compel responses to the inspection demands because the motion was not heard before the discovery motion cutoff date and pelton - shepherd never moved to reopen discovery . delta also contends ( among other things ) that the trial court erred in denying delta ' s underlying motion for relief from the waiver of objections that resulted from delta ' s failure to timely respond to the inspection demands .
on december 14 , delta ' s attorney notified pelton - shepherd ' s attorney by telephone that he would be filing the ex parte application for clarification of the discovery cutoff dates on december 16 . he asked pelton - shepherd ' s attorney to stipulate to reopening discovery , and pelton - shepherd ' s attorney said he would speak to his client . 12

janine shepherd ' s story is incredible - at once so horrifying and so life - affirming that palfreyman got goose bumps listening to it for the first time .
you must write this story ,
palfreyman told shepherd .
janine shepherd is on stage in a gloomy and cavernous function room at a golf - oriented resort on the gold coast . outside on the emerald greens , karrie webb is trying to win the australian ladies masters . but the real drama is inside as shepherd relives her past , particularly the past 11 years of it . she ' s retelling her story and it has reduced some of her audience to tears .
so keen was shepherd to find out whether the producers , golden square pictures , and network executives from channel 10 had agreed on karvan , she rang the production office straight after the birth of her son in august .
the issue , then , is whether the trial court erred , or abused its discretion , in granting pelton - shepherd ' s motion to compel after the discovery motion cutoff date . the thrust of delta ' s argument appears to be that the trial court was required , as a matter of law , to deny the motion to compel because it was not heard within the time allowed by law . pelton - shepherd , on the other hand , argues the trial court had discretion to the hear the motion to compel after the discovery motion cutoff date , and we should review the court ' s decision to do so for abuse of discretion . as we will explain , we agree with pelton - shepherd , but we conclude the trial court abused its discretion in hearing , and granting , the belated motion to compel .
janine ' s an elite individual ,
agrees dr adrian cohen , who first encountered shepherd in the spinal unit of sydney ' s prince henry hospital more than a decade ago . the two became friends and have stayed in touch throughout shepherd ' s fight back from the brink of death .
she ' s a remarkable person with incredible determination .
dr mervyn shepherd bsc ( hons ) ( qld ) , phd ( qld ) dr shepherd ' s research interests are in the application of molecular genetics to forest species for to support improvement or management of forest resources . current research projects include genetic mapping and marker - trait cosegregation analysis of vegetative propagation characters in corymbia ( formerly eucalyptus ) hybrids , population structure and diversity of in the spotted gums , gene pool management and risk assessment in corymbia spp . , and to study molecular variation in genes involved in lignin biosynthesis . a major focus of dr shepherd ' s work over the past 13 years has been the use of species ' hybrids to elucidate the genetic architecture of traits of interest to forestry and as a system to study genome organisation and evolution .
in its opposition to the motion ( filed november 1 ) , delta asserted that pelton - shepherd could not seek terminating sanctions based on delta ' s failure to respond to the inspection demands because pelton - shepherd had not first obtained a court order compelling delta to respond to those demands . delta also asserted that pelton - shepherd ' s request for terminating discovery sanctions was time - barred because the deadline for the hearing of discovery motions had passed . 9
14 . the court made this ruling compelling the production of documents even though pelton - shepherd had not yet filed a motion pursuant to section 2031 . 320 to compel delta to produce any documents .
here , because the trial court did not require pelton - shepherd to file a motion for leave to reopen discovery under section 2024 . 050 , there is no indication in the record that the court considered any of the matters relevant to whether discovery should have been reopened for the hearing of pelton - shepherd ' s motion to compel , including ( but not limited to ) : ( 1 ) the reasons pelton - shepherd believed it needed the documents it was seeking ; and ( 2 ) pelton - shepherd ' s diligence or lack of diligence in seeking those documents and in seeking a hearing on its motion to compel . had the trial court required the filing of a motion to reopen discovery under section 2024 . 050 , so that the parties could have offered evidence and argument on these and other relevant factors , the court would have had an informed basis on which to exercise its discretion to hear ( or not hear ) pelton - shepherd ' s motion to compel .

perhaps it was a stroke of luck , good casting or testament to karvan ' s considerable acting skills but shepherd ' s first instincts proved correct .
on july 14 , 2006 , the day after serving its further responses to the inspection demands on pelton - shepherd , delta filed a “notice” with the trial court of its compliance with the june 23 order . this notice included a copy of the further responses , as well as a copy of a check for $ 2 , 500 made payable to the clerk of the court . it also included a declaration from pritikin in which he reiterated that “the majority of purchase orders requested in request no . 19 have never existed as such orders were verbal . the written purchase orders are no longer in delta ' s possession as they were routinely disposed of upon payment of the corresponding invoice . ”
we also conclude , in the unpublished portion of the opinion , that the trial court prejudicially abused its discretion in denying delta ' s motion for relief from the waiver of objections because delta ' s failure to timely respond to the inspection demands was the result of its attorney ' s excusable neglect .

in the published portion of the opinion , we conclude the trial court 1 botched its responsibilities under the civil discovery act 2 and prejudicially abused its discretion in granting pelton - shepherd ' s motion to compel after the discovery motion cutoff date when pelton - shepherd had not moved to reopen discovery under code of civil procedure section 2024 . 050 . 3 as we will explain , a trial court has discretion to hear a discovery motion after the discovery motion cutoff date , but the exercise of that discretion is governed by section 2024 . 050 , which requires the court to consider various factors in determining whether to hear a discovery motion after the cutoff date . because the trial court here did not require pelton - shepherd to file a motion to reopen discovery under section 2024 . 050 before or simultaneously with , filing its motion to compel , there is no indication in the record that the court considered any of the relevant factors .

in subsequently opposing the motion to compel , delta argued the motion should be denied as untimely . in reply , pelton - shepherd argued that delta had waived its right to object to the timeliness of the motion both because delta had not timely responded to the inspection demands and because delta ' s attorney had “continually promise [ d ] to send the documents . ”

the homes which the first squatters constructed were modest slab huts not far removed from the canvas or iron huts of their employees . however , after legal changes in the late 1840s permitted the purchase of pastoral leases , the squatters began to assert themselves and to aspire to a more permanent and impressive presence .

following the settlement conference on november 14 , which was unsuccessful , trial was reset for march 27 , 2006 . 10 after the settlement conference , delta ' s attorney told pelton - shepherd ' s attorney that delta was providing the responsive documents to him that day for his review , but that he needed to sift through , copy , and page - number them . thereafter , however , delta ' s attorney failed to forward any documents to pelton - shepherd ' s attorney . accordingly , on december 6 , 2005 , pelton - shepherd filed a motion to compel delta to respond to the second set of demands for production of documents . the hearing on the motion was set for january 11 , 2006 . consistent with the discovery statutes , pelton - shepherd did not yet seek an order to compel delta to actually produce any documents for inspection and copying . 11
delta ' s motion was set for hearing on february 24 , 2006 . meanwhile , on february 15 , 2006 , the court entered a formal order granting pelton - shepherd ' s motion to compel delta to respond to the inspection demands . that order required delta to “fully respond without objection” within 30 days . consistent with the fact that pelton - shepherd had not sought an order compelling the production of any documents , the february 15 order did not order delta to produce any documents .

here , by the time pelton - shepherd filed its motion to compel on december 6 , 2005 , the cutoff date for hearing such a motion was more than a month past , and a new trial date had been set for late march 2006 . nevertheless , pelton - shepherd did not seek leave from the court under section 2024 . 050 to reopen discovery so that its motion to compel could be heard consistent with the foregoing statutes . 26 instead , pelton - shepherd simply ignored the close of discovery and sought an order compelling responses to its inspection demands as though there had been no discovery motion cutoff date . 27

noting that a “trial court may grant leave ․ to have a motion concerning discovery heard” after the discovery motion cutoff date “on a motion of any party , ” pelton - shepherd suggests the trial court properly exercised “its discretion to allow [ the ] motion to compel to [ be heard ] after the discovery deadline” when , at the december 16 , 2005 , hearing on delta ' s ex parte application to clarify the discovery cutoff dates , the court “failed to reopen discovery” but “granted leave to counsel to ‘work out any pending issues ' at the january 11 , 2006 hearing on [ the ] motion to compel . ” we are not persuaded . as we have noted , pelton - shepherd did not file a motion for leave to reopen discovery so that its motion to compel could be heard after the discovery motion cutoff date . it is disingenuous for pelton - shepherd to suggest the trial court properly exercised its discretion in granting a motion pelton - shepherd never made .
at the hearing on november 22 , delta asserted that pelton - shepherd ' s supplemental brief was untimely , having been served on delta less than 24 hours before the hearing . delta also asserted that it had now provided pelton - shepherd with “105 total additional invoices” not previously produced that had been referenced in the customer checks previously produced . delta claimed that “over 75 percent of those have nothing to do with gel packs . ” 22 delta argued there was “no basis ․ to enter any terminating sanctions here” and suggested that the court reserve the issue of sanctions for the trial judge . the court took the matter under submission but gave delta permission to file a posthearing opposition to the motion .

as will be apparent from the discussion that follows , the discovery in this case is a classic example of how not to conduct discovery ( on the part of the lawyers ) or to manage discovery ( on the part of the court ) . if discovery was always managed in this manner , no civil case would ever get to trial . unfortunately it is necessary to recount all the convoluted proceedings in order to explain why the trial court erred .
