How to Prepare Separate Statement – Discovery Motions
“A separate statement is a separate document filed and served with the discovery motion that provides all the information necessary to understand each discovery request and all the responses to it that are at issue.” (Cal. Rules of Ct., Rule 3.1345(c).)
The separate statement is a very useful tool for the Court to decide discovery disputes; it requires that the dispute be presented on a request-by-request basis with the objections, responses and arguments all in one place. (Cal. Rules of Ct., Rule 3.1345(c).) The separate statement requirement was designed to streamline adjudication of discovery motions, and a failure to file a separate statement is a sufficient basis for denying plaintiff’s motion to compel. (Mills v. U.S. Bank (2008) 166 Cal.App.4th 871, 893.)
“Any motion involving the content of a discovery request or the responses to such a request must be accompanied by a separate statement. The motions that require a separate statement include a motion:
To compel further responses to requests for admission;
To compel further responses to interrogatories;
To compel further responses to a demand for inspection of documents or tangible things;
To compel answers at a deposition;
To compel or to quash the production of documents or tangible things at a deposition;
For medical examination over objection; and
For issue or evidentiary sanctions.”
(Cal. Rules of Ct., Rule 3.1345(a); BP Alaska Exploration, Inc. v. Super. Ct. (1988) 199 Cal.App.3d 1240, 1270.)
“The separate statement must be full and complete so that no person is required to review any other document in order to determine the full request and the full response. Material must not be incorporated into the separate statement by reference. The separate statement must include--for each discovery request (e.g., each interrogatory, request for admission, deposition question, or inspection demand) to which a further response, answer, or production is requested--the following:
The text of the request, interrogatory, question, or inspection demand;
The text of each response, answer, or objection, and any further responses or answers;
A statement of the factual and legal reasons for compelling further responses, answers, or production as to each matter in dispute;
If necessary, the text of all definitions, instructions, and other matters required to understand each discovery request and the responses to it;
If the response to a particular discovery request is dependent on the response given to another discovery request, or if the reasons a further response to a particular discovery request is deemed necessary are based on the response to some other discovery request, the other request and the response to it must be set forth; and
If the pleadings, other documents in the file, or other items of discovery are relevant to the motion, the party relying on them must summarize each relevant document.”
(Cal. Rules of Ct., Rule 3.1345; Mills v. U.S. Bank (2008) 166 Cal.App.4th 871, 892-893; Neary v. Regents of University of California (1986) 185 Cal.App.3d 1136, 1145.)
A trial court is acting well within its discretion to deny a motion to compel discovery on the basis that the mandated separate statement was not provided or the statement provided does not comply with the requirements of the Court Rule. (Mills v. U.S. Bank (2008) 166 Cal.App.4th 871, 893.) Although Rule 3.1345 of the California Rules of Court does not explicitly provide a remedy for failure to comply with it, at least one appellate court has cited with approval the trial court’s dropping of a motion to compel discovery where the moving part failed to comply with Rule 335, which was renumbered as Rule 3.1345. (BP Alaska Exploration, Inc. v. Super. Ct. (1988) 199 Cal.App.3d 1240, 1270; Neary v. Regents of University of California (1986) 185 Cal.App.3d 1136, 1145.)

Turner did not specify the ultimate material facts as to the economic loss rule as to each plaintiff’s negligence claim in its Separate Statement, instead reciting verbatim deposition testimony and other discovery responses, which left it to the Court the cumbersome task of trying to determine whether Turner established that Plaintiffs only have economic damages.

Second Cause of Action: Violation of Government Code section 12940 (Age Discrimination, Disability Discrimination, and Failure to Provide Reasonable Accommodation) “[T]he [Fair Employment and Housing Act] FEHA provides that no complaint for any violation of its provisions may be filed with the Department ‘after the expiration of one year from the date upon which the alleged unlawful practice or refusal to cooperate occurred,’ with an exception for delayed discovery” or for continuing violations.
Kim demurs to the complaint on the ground Plaintiff Kourosh Izadpanahi’s claims are time-barred by the applicable statutes of limitations even with application of the delayed discovery rule. Under the delayed discovery rule, “the accrual date of a cause of action is delayed until the plaintiff is aware of his or her injury and its cause.” (Brandon G. v. Gray (2003) 111 Cal.App.4th 29, 35.) Here, Plaintiff alleges he was unaware of his injuries until 2019, despite the sale of the property in June 2016.
Plaintiff maintains that “separation of the Underlying Claims from the Indemnification Claims will promote the efficient use of the Court’s resources by keeping unrelated and derivative issues, and different discovery and review standards separate.” (Id. at p. 4:5-6.)

The Protective Order is intended to permit without dispute the production of Confidential Documents, but is without prejudice to the right of any Party to apply to the Court for any further order that it deems appropriate or to object on any appropriate grounds to the discovery requests . . . 15.

MELODY CHACKER VS SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, AN ARIZONA CORPORATION DOING BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA, ET AL.
Legal Standard A party may be deemed a vexatious litigant upon a showing that the party repeatedly files unmeritorious papers, conducts unnecessary discovery or engages in other tactics that are frivolous or solely intended to cause unnecessary delay. (CCP § 391(b)(3).) Alternatively, the decision can be based upon the ground that the party repeatedly relitigates finally determined litigation. (CCP § 391(b)(2).)
ROMEO NATIVIDAD VS ABS FACILITY SERVICES
The court could deny the motion on that basis, but it would rather resolve the discovery dispute and move the case along. Audiology does not dispute having been served with the subpoena. Accordingly, the court orders that ABS Facility lodge the subpoena before the hearing of this matter. CONCLUSION The motion is GRANTED subject to the court’s review of the subpoena. Moving Party is ordered to give notice of this ruling.
NATALIE GAYEVA VS SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING INC, ET AL.
“A demurrer for uncertainty is strictly construed, even where a complaint is in some respects uncertain, because ambiguities can be clarified under modern discovery procedures.” (Khoury v. Maly’s of Cal., Inc. (1993) 14 Cal.App.4th 612, 616.) Such demurrers “are disfavored, and are granted only if the pleading is so incomprehensible that a defendant cannot reasonably respond.” (Mahan v. Charles W. Chan Insurance Agency, Inc. (2017) 14 Cal.App.5th 841, 848.)
MARQUIS PATTERSON VS MOISES CUELLAR, ET AL.
Failing to respond or to submit to an authorized method of discovery is a misuse of the discovery process. (Code of Civ. Proc. § 2023.010.)
Separate Statement Everport submitted a separate statement; Plaintiff submitted a responsive separate statement and his own separate statement. The separate statements are substantially Code-compliant. (Code Civ. Proc. § 437c, subd. (b)(1); Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1350(c)(2).) Discussion Each of Plaintiff’s causes of action is considered separately. 1.

Further, on March 4, 2020, before the motion to strike was filed on March 10, 2020, both plaintiffs and defendants requested an informal discovery hearing, which was continued to June 16, 2020, following the court’s closure in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. There are now pending a number of discovery motions, scheduled to be heard on July 28, 2020 (five as of this writing).

DELMY YOJANA CASTEJON VS CITY OF LOS ANGELES, ET AL.
Moving Party argues there is good cause to allow it to file a first amended answer to allege it is immune from liability pursuant to California Government Code section 850.4 because discovery has revealed Plaintiff slipped from a leaking fire hydrant. (Graven Decl., ¶ 5.)
FEDORA BLISS, LLC VS JOHN LABIB + ASSOCIATES, A BUSINESS ENTITY, FORM UNKNOWN
Defendant argues that “if those defenses succeed (which, again, appears likely based upon the plain language of the agreement, the speculative nature of the Plaintiffs claim/discovery responses and JLA's conduct), then the Court need not proceed through a long and expensive trial over an old and never used design of a yet to be constructed apartment building.” (Id. at p. 8:3-7.)
Also, if any payments were made toward the debt, that information can be clarified during discovery. Thus, Plaintiff has sufficiently alleged the elements for a breach of contract claim. Demurrer to this cause of action is OVERRULED. Fraud and Deceit (2nd Cause of Action) Intentional and negligent misrepresentation actions are subject to strict requirements of particularity in pleading. (Goldrich v. National Y Surgical Specialties, Inc. (1994) 25 Cal.App.4th 772, 782.)
As far as we know, Defendant may not even know of the existence of this outstanding discovery or this specific discovery motion. No sanctions are to be awarded, since the notice of motion did not clearly “identify” the person(s) against whom sanctions were sought. (CCP § 2023.040.)
Moreover, Plaintiff has sufficiently alleged the time and manner of discovery (FAC ¶ 8, 35) and the inability to have made earlier discovery despite reasonable diligence. (FAC ¶ 10-29.) Based on the foregoing, the demurrer to the sixth cause of action is OVERRULED on this ground.
Moreover, even if the pleading is somewhat vague, “ambiguities can be clarified under modern discovery procedures.” (Ibid.) However, “a demurrer cannot rightfully be sustained to part of a cause of action or to a particular type of damage or remedy.” (Kong v. City of Hawaiian Gardens Redevelopment Agency (2002) 108 Cal.App.4th 1028, 1047.) B. Discussion 1.
