What is the test for a judge to consider whether a motion for a protective order or an informal resolution is adequate?

informal resolution is adequate also involves the exercise of discretion. The level of effort at informal resolution which satisfies the 'reasonable and good faith attempt' standard depends upon the circumstances. In a larger, more complex discovery context, a greater effort at informal resolution may be warranted. In a simpler, or more narrowly focused case, a more modest effort may suffice. The history of the litigation, the nature of the interaction between counsel, the nature of the issues, the type and scope of discovery requested, the prospects for success and other similar factors can be relevant. Judges have broad powers and responsibilities to determine what measures and procedures are appropriate in varying circumstances." (Obregon v. Superior Court (1998) 67 Cal.App.4th 424, 431.)

b. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the motion for a protective order
