hearing was that plaintiff agreed to provide verified responses in order to resolve the discovery

dispute, and if they were not satisfactory, the court would proceed to decide Gonzales’ motion

2007, whether the disputes have been resolved. The court directed that only if the disputes were

not resolved, would it decide Gonzales’ motion for sanctions. On May 29, 2007, plaintiff’s

counsel filed a letter informing the court that it had responded to the remainder of discovery

propounded by defendant Gonzales. 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that defendant Gonzales’ motion for sanctions,

filed March 7, 2007, is vacated from the calendar as moot.
