California Defendant's Response to Request for Production is a document that is used in California civil litigation cases. It is a response from the defendant to the plaintiff's Request for Production of Documents. The Response typically includes descriptions of each document requested, as well as an assertion of whether the document is relevant to the case and whether the defendant has the document in their possession or control. The Response also includes any objections the defendant has to produce the document, such as privilege, work product, or relevance. There are two main types of California Defendant's Response to Request for Production: informal and formal. Informal Responses are typically reserved for less complex cases and do not need to be filed with the court. Formal Responses must be filed with the court and must comply with the California Code of Civil Procedure.
