UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CYNTHIA HOPSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

LA CONTENTA PLAZA, a California 

Limited Partnership; MARK TWAIN ST. 

JOSEPH’S HEALTHCARE

CORPORATION, dba Family Medical 

Center Valley Springs; GERALD WALK, 

dba Pizza Factory; CAROL WALK, dba 

Pizza Factory; and DOES 1-10, inclusive,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-2988 GEB KJN (TEMP)

ORDER

On October 6, 2015, defendant La Contenta Plaza, a California Limited Partnership, filed 

a motion to compel and request for sanctions in the amount of $990, in light of plaintiff’s failure 

to respond to discovery requests. (Dkt. No. 25.) That motion was noticed for hearing on October 

30, 2015, before the previously assigned Magistrate Judge. 

On October 16, 2015, plaintiff filed a statement of non-opposition to defendant’s motion, 

except that plaintiff requested that the sanction amount be reduced to $840, in light of the fact that 

defendant’s request for $990 was premised on defense counsel’s time spent attending the hearing 

on the motion to compel. (Dkt. No. 29.) In this regard, plaintiff argues that “such hearing is 

superfluous since Plaintiff is not opposing the motion.” (Id. at 2.)

On October 21, 2015, the hearing of defendant’s motion was vacated, (Dkt. No. 31), and 

on November 6, 2015, this matter was temporarily assigned to the undersigned. (Dkt. No. 33.) In 

light of plaintiff’s non-opposition, defendant’s motion to compel and request for sanctions will be 

granted.1

Accordingly, upon consideration of the arguments on file, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED 

that: 

1. Defendant’s October 6, 2015 motion to compel and award sanctions (Dkt. No. 25) is 

granted;

2. Plaintiff shall produce responses to the discovery at issue within 21 days of the date of 

this order; and

3. Plaintiff shall pay sanctions to defendant in connection with the bringing of the motion 

in the amount of $840 within thirty days of the date of this order.

Dated: November 16, 2015
