Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Proof of service on multiple defendants

One of the three defendants has not responded to my request for production of documents and days have passed from the due date. The defendant has ignored my phone call and letter to produce documents.

I am filing a motion to compel answer. Do I need to serve the papers on other defendants too?

Thank you for the information and time.

Yes, you need to serve it on all parties that have appeared in the case.

Yes. Anything you serve on one party has to be served on the others. The other parties may decide that the papers aren't relevant to them, but that is their decision to make, not yours.
