No. C07-01571 HRL 

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’ 

MOTION TO COMPEL RESPONSES 

TO INTERROGATORIES 

PROPOUNDED ON DEFENDANT 

GOLDEN HILLS ASSOCIATES, INC. 

[Re: Docket No. 186] 

On March 29, Plaintiffs served Defendant Golden Hills Associates, Inc. (“Golden Hills”) 

with special interrogatories. (Docket No. 187, Decl. of Jessica Fry, ¶ 2.) Not having heard from 

Golden Hills after over thirty days, counsel for Plaintiffs sent a meet-and-confer letter to Golden 

Hills’s counsel on May 5. (Id. at ¶ 3.) Plaintiffs again received no response, so they filed a motion 

to compel to which Golden Hills has failed to oppose. (Id.; Docket No. 186.) Pursuant to Civil 

Local Rule 7-1(b), the Court finds the matter suitable for determination without oral argument, and 

the August 3, 2010 hearing is vacated. 

A party in a civil case may serve written interrogatories on another party, and the responding 

party must serve its answers and any objections within thirty days. FED. R. CIV. P. 33. Any 

untimely objection to an interrogatory is waived unless the court finds good cause for excuse. FED.

R. CIV. P. 33(b)(4). If no response is made, the propounding party may apply for an order 

compelling a response. FED. R. CIV. P. 37(a)(3)(B)(iii).

United States District Court

For the Northern District of California 

Golden Hills has provided no response whatsoever to Plaintiffs’ special interrogatories 

(which were served over three months ago) or to Plaintiffs’ meet-and-confer letter. Having waived 

any objections and having provided no explanation or opposition, Golden Hills should be compelled 

to respond. Within ten (10) days of this order, Golden Hills shall fully respond without objection to 

Plaintiffs’ special interrogatories served on March 29. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: July 29, 2010
