CASE: CV 25-3446(GRB) Nevels v. Transunion et al
TYPE OF CONFERENCE: 	MOTION 	FTR: 10:16-11:06
APPEARANCES:
For Plaintiff: 	Kareema Nevels (pro se)
For Defendant: Victor Allaham (Transunion)
Brenna McGill (Experian)
THE FOLLOWING RULINGS WERE MADE:
☒ Other: Oral argument held. Plaintiff’s motion to strike affirmative defenses, DE [53], is
denied without prejudice to be renewed at the close of discovery as appropriate,
consistent with the colloquy on the record.
Plaintiff’s motion to deem requests to admit admitted, DE [60], which is procedural in
nature, is denied for the reasons set forth on the record.
With respect to Plaintiff’s motion to compel, DE [61], it is denied without prejudice for
the reasons set forth on the record. Before the parties refile any motion in this regard,
they are ordered to meet and confer in real time, whether by phone or video conference
or in person about the documents at issue and see if they can reach an accommodation. If
further motion practice is warranted, the discovery requests and responses at issue must
be attached and referred to in the motion papers so that the court can address any
objections.
Defendant Experian’s motion for an extension of time, DE [65], is withdrawn.
As to Plaintiff’s motion to compel, DE [70], the motion is denied without prejudice until
confidential documents are produced pursuant to a confidentiality order so that Plaintiff
has the full universe of documents before any motion is renewed. Again, the parties are
ordered to meet and confer by phone or otherwise before any new motion is filed. Going
forward all motions will be filed by Defendants in bundled form with a hard copy
delivered to chambers.
SO ORDERED
