Allen v. Amazon.com CA2/3
On February 19, 2019, plaintiff filed a complaint against Amazon, Golden State FC LLC, and Roy Cripps asserting claims for violations of the Fair Employment and Housing Act, negligence, negligence per se, assault, and battery. Amazon answered the complaint in July 2019. Cripps was not served with the summons and complaint and did not appear in the action.
In July 2019, Amazon served plaintiff with discovery requests and a notice that Amazon would take plaintiff’s deposition on August 23, 2019. The documents were served by overnight mail to plaintiff’s address on Redondo Beach Boulevard.
On about August 5, 2019, plaintiff purportedly faxed a letter to Amazon’s counsel, Lindsay Holloman, which stated in pertinent part as follows:
“This is to inform you that I will not be available to respond to your propounded discovery request and or appear for any depositions and or production of documents in this matter. I have a family emergency that required me to leave town immediately.
