I have been sick with a very rare disease, just diagnosed, and I may have missed the boat on getting my discovery to them on time. My court date is August 26, 2013 and I sent my discovery on July, 9th 2013. They sent me a letter dated August 7th stating: Our offices have recieved your discovery requests with a proof of service dated July 9, 2013. As you may be aware, per CCP 2024.020 all discovery must be completed 30 days prior to trial. Currently, trial is set for august 26, 2013 and therefore your discovery requests are untimely and no responses will be provided. Any help is much appreciated.
