Heading: Pendleton's Default Admissions

Text: ¶ 42 We next address whether the matters set forth in the OPC's request for admissions were properly deemed admitted. The disciplinary court deemed the matters admitted because Pendleton failed to file a timely response to the OPC's request for admissions. Rule 36 makes clear that [e]ach matter of which an admission is requested... is admitted if not responded to within thirty days. Utah R. Civ. P. 36(a)(2); see also Triple I Supply, Inc. v. Sunset Rail, Inc., 652 P.2d 1298, 1299-1300 (Utah 1982). In the instant case, Pendleton failed to timely respond to the OPC's request for admissions. Thus, the trial court correctly concluded that the matters set forth in the OPC's request were deemed admitted.
