EPSTEIN, J.
I concur in the judgment, and I agree with the reasoning of the opinion except for part IV of the discussion. It is clear to me that the trial court’s rule 9.15 (Super. Ct. L. A. County Rules, rule 9.15) does not apply to the facts under review since the petitioner did file opposition to the motion to compel. I would not reach the validity issue of a hypothetical local rule that required all timeliness objections to a Code of Civil Procedure section 2031 to be raised by written response. I would, instead, confine our opinion to the issue before us. Doing so, I would, and do, conclude that the trial court was without authority to compel further response to the request for production.
