v.

BRUCE D MCBRIDE, et al.
ROBERT S REDER

JUDGE PINEDA

MINUTE ENTRY

This Court has received Plaintiff’s Motion for Sanctions which outlines the difficulty in
communicating with Defendants. Review of the Court’s docket shows that some of the
communications took place after Defendants’ former counsel filed their Motion to Withdraw but
prior to the Court granted their withdrawal. The Court reminds Plaintiff that until the Court grants
a motion to withdraw, the Defendants continued to be represented. The Court, however,
recognizes that after new counsel entered his notice of appearance, there appears to have been a
complete failure to communicate with Plaintiff’s counsel and as a result, the case has stalled.

The Court also notes that while Plaintiff expressed a potential need to do so, except as
alluded to in their Motion for Sanctions, Plaintiff has not filed a Motion to Compel Discovery. In
its current Motion, Plaintiff does not seek to compel, it merely seeks sanctions under Rules 16 and
37 of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, and pursuant to A.R.S. §12-349. Plaintiff further asks
that the Court strike Defendant’s answer and allow them to obtain default judgment. Defendants
have not responded to the Motion for Sanctions. This causes the Court great concern.

The Court will first address Plaintiff’s apparent Rule 37 Motion to Compel. It is apparent
that disclosures have not been made and that Plaintiff seeks sanctions in the form of striking

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY

Page 2

Defendant’s answer and allowing them to proceed by default. This requests is premature in that
Plaintiff’s should have first sought court intervention to compel disclosure.

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED denying Plaintiff’s request to strike Defendant’s answer.

IT IS ORDERED that Defendants shall provide their Initial Disclosure Statement no later
than noon on Friday, May 17, 2024.

Should Defendant’s fail to provide their initial disclosure by this deadline,

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED setting a show cause hearing on May 20, 2024, at 11:00
(1 hour / 30 minutes per side) to determine if Defendant will be precluded from presenting any
witnesses at trial.

In its Motion for Sanctions, Plaintiff cites Rule 16, Rule 37 and A.R.S. §12-349. Each
permits the Court to impose attorneys’ fees for failing to provide discovery and unreasonably
expands or delays the proceeding. Plaintiff has provided sufficient evidence that Defendants’ have
disengaged from this matter resulting in significant delays in this matter.

IT IS ORDERED granting Plaintiff’s requests for attorney’s fees resulting from their
attempts to obtain disclosures from Defendants after current defense counsel appeared in this
action. Plaintiff shall provide their China Doll Affidavit and proposed form of order no later than
20 days from the day of this order.

The Court expects the parties to appear by videoconference unless permission is otherwise
given by the Court.

IT IS ORDERED that the parties are directed to contact the division via video conference
using Court Connect on the date and time of the hearing. Information regarding access to this
division’s virtual courtroom is listed below.

TRIAL EXHIBITS

This division is using Case Center, a state-wide electronic exhibit portal. All exhibits
should be electronically submitted through Case Center. When the case has been initiated by the
Clerk of Court, the attorney of record and any self-represented party will receive an email
invitation to the case created in Case Center. The attorney of record is responsible for inviting
through Case Center any co-counsel or staff who need access to the case.

For uploading exhibits to Case Center, please adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Exhibits must be appropriately titled. Any exhibit title containing derogatory or prejudicial
information will be renamed by the Clerk.

2. Do not put exhibit numbers in your exhibit titles. Case Center will assign an exhibit
number to each exhibit upon upload, and will number Plaintiff’s exhibits and Defendant’s
exhibits separately (e.g., Plaintiff’s exhibit 1; Defendant’s exhibit 1, etc.).

3. Do not submit duplicate exhibits. It is essential that the parties confer to avoid
submitting duplicate exhibits.

4. Original Depositions will not be marked as an exhibit. Original depositions to be used for
impeachment purposes shall be provided in paper form to the Clerk on the first day of the
hearing/trial to be hand-filed.

demonstrative purpose only, are not marked as the exhibits, and are returned.

The Court, Clerk, and all counsel and self-represented parties will have access to the
exhibits through Case Center. The Court will not have paper copies of exhibits available for
witnesses. Counsel may use the Case Center presentation software or may use their own trial
presentation software to present exhibits to witnesses and the jury, as long as counsel can avow
that the exhibits they present are true and accurate copies of the Court’s exhibits. These matters
will be discussed further at the Final Trial Management Conference.
