[Meeting ID: 161 581 3960; Passcode: 123456]. All matters set for hearing in Department 5 are assigned to that department for all pre-trial purposes. Parties
retain the right under Cal. Const. art VI §21 to decline consent to the Commissioner serving as a Judge Pro Tem. By participating in the first hearing, or electing
not to attend after due notice, parties are deemed to have stipulated to the Commissioner serving as a Judge Pro Tem for the entire case. See CRC 2.816.
Commissioner is already serving as Judge for all purposes.

This is a civil action involving a failed real estate transaction. According to plaintiff, she was ready, willing and able to
consummate her acquisition of certain residential property in La Grange for price agreed upon between herself and the seller
group, but that the seller group breached its obligations and failed to perform pursuant to the purchase agreement. The buyer
and seller already resolved their difference in mediation, leaving just the buyer and her broker (who served in a dual agent
capacity) here.

Before the Court this day is a demurrer by the broker, directed at the entire Second Amended Complaint and all four causes of
action subsumed therein. Because the broker did not demurrer to the fiduciary duty, good faith or misrepresentation causes of
action from the earlier operative pleading, the current attack via demurrer on those causes of action must be disregarded. See
CCP §430.41(b). Thus, all that remains is a demurrer to the third cause of action for intentional interference with contractual
relations. As noted, the essential elements are: (1) a valid and enforceable contract between plaintiff and a third party; (2)
defendant's actual knowledge of the existence of said contract; (3) defendant's intentional and independently wrongful acts
designed or substantially certain to induce either a breach or a serious disruption of that contractual relationship; (4) actual
breach or serious disruption of that contractual relationship; and (5) resulting cognizable damage. See Reeves v. Hanlon
(2004) 33 Cal.4th 1140, 1148; Norman v. Ross (2024) 101 Cal.App.5th 617, 668; Caliber Paving Company, Inc. v. Rexford
Industrial Realty and Management, Inc. (2020) 54 Cal.App.5th 175, 187.

As a stranger to the purchase contract, the broker can be held liable for contractual interference if there are facts alleged to
show that the broker engaged in purposeful, and independently wrongful, acts which seriously interrupted the contractual
agreement. A careful review of the new operative pleading still fails to include sufficient facts to connect the dots between the
broker’s independently wrongful conduct (failure to act as a fiduciary and keep plaintiff accurately informed) and the ultimate
disruption of the sale. Assuming the broker was responsible for coordinating an inferior repair of the septic tank, and allowing
a lengthy delay in escrow, how did these two things lead to a cancellation of the deal? Did plaintiff get cold feet and pull out?
Since the buyers benefitted from the cheaper fix of the septic tank, and presumably from the delayed escrow, it seems that
whatever the broker did was not a cause in fact of the sellers’ breach. Something is missing here. Since there is no reply brief
in support of the demurrer, this Court wonders aloud if perhaps the parties have reached their own resolution. Either way, the
demurrer to the third cause of action for intentional interference with contractual relations must be sustained again. Since
plaintiff is inching her way closer and closer to a proper cause of action, this Court will permit one last leave to amend. Notice
is waived. The 30 days shall commence forthwith.

Need full stip …

This is a civil action commenced by a sovereign citizen seeking redress for an alleged trespass to chattel

when certain defendants caused the seizure and towing of plaintiff’s “mobile home” back in august of 2023 – leaving him shelterless. Plaintiff alleges that he was pulled over on Greenley Road near the library by a CHP officer because his motorhome did not have license plates. Plaintiff further alleges that the officer was rude after plaintiff declined to present a driver’s license. It appears from the operative pleading that plaintiff continues to be without his property.

On 10/21/2025, plaintiff filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff will be directed to self-help to complete the proper forms for this request.

On 10/21/2025, plaintiff filed a motion to secure additional time to comply with CRC 3.110. The basis for the request is the cost associated with effectuating service on the number of named defendants. The Court sees no issue with granting plaintiff additional time.

This is a wage/hour dispute with class claims and a PAGA cause of action. This Court previously approved
the voluntary dismissal of the class claims, but the proposed order was not tracked to this department and
counsel did not use the for some reason the CIV-110 form. In other words, the class claims can be
dismissed, but at present remain active.

Before the Court this day is plaintiff’s unopposed motion to file a Second Amended Complaint which pleads
only the PAGA cause of action. This of course is the preferred method for avoiding any confusion or
prejudice to putative class members who might be reviewing court files and erroneously believe that this
case involves class claims. That motion is granted. To simplify things, counsel is asking to separately
file the Second Amended Complaint with 10 days, rather than rely no this Court separating the document
and deeming it filed this date.

Commissioner is already serving as Judge for all purposes.

This is a limited-jurisdiction collections case which was removed from the “3.740” timelines after
defendant filed an answer. Before the Court this day is plaintiff’s unopposed motion to deem RFAs
admitted. According to the supporting papers, plaintiff caused to be served upon defendant a set of RFAs
on 06/11/2025. Although the POS includes the correct street address for the defense firm, using
defendant’s actual name on the mailing may have caused some avoidable confusion. Either way, service
appears to be adequate, and according to plaintiff no responses have been provided.

The primary purpose behind requests for admissions is to eliminate the need for proof and to set at rest
triable issues so that they will not have to be tried. Stull v. Sparrow (2001) 92 Cal.App.4th 860, 865.
Requests for admissions may be directed to any matter that is in controversy between the parties: facts,
opinions or legal conclusions. See CCP §2033.010; Miller v. American Greetings Corp. (2008) 161
Cal.App.4th 1055, 1066. As noted by one Court of Appeal, “the law governing the consequences for failing
to respond to requests for admission may be the most unforgiving in civil procedure.” Demyer v. Costa
Mesa Mobile Home Estates (1995) 36 Cal.App.4th 393, 394-39. That is mostly true, save perhaps for one,
often-overlooked, safe harbor therein, to wit: CCP §2033.280(c). Pursuant thereto, a
substantially-compliant response to the RFAs made at any time “before the hearing on the motion” will
moot the motion almost entirely (sanctions would still recoverable, but plaintiff did not seek those here).
See St. Mary v. Superior Court (2014) 223 Cal.App.4th 762, 778; in accord, Katayama v. Continental
Investment Group (2024) 105 Cal.App.5th 898, 908.

Assuming defendant has not provided substantially-complaint responses by the hearing, the motion will be
granted. With that, this Court needs to conduct a CMC as well. Defendant did not file a CMC statement,
but it appears that plaintiff intends to present this case as a 2-hr bench trial (and not via the cumbersome
MSJ route). This Court is amenable to setting trial at this time.

According to the court file, defendant is an entity which was served through an authorized agent three months ago.

Pursuant to CRC 3.110(g), “if a responsive pleading is not served within the time limits specified in this rule and no extension of time has been granted, the plaintiff must file a request for entry of default within 10 days after the time for service has elapsed. The court may issue an order to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed if the plaintiff fails to timely file the request for the entry of default.”

This is a negligence and breach of contract action. According to plaintiff,

defendant failed to faithfully repair his Ford truck – resulting in avoidable costs, delays and related harms. The original complaint was filed on 08/12/2025. A first amended complaint was filed on 10/17/2025. A demurrer was filed on 10/24/2025.

The demurrer is technically defective because defendant has failed to set forth with particularity each distinct ground for demurrer in a separate paragraph. CCP §430.60; CRC 3.1320(a). Part of the problem is the nature of the pleading: a complaint should be limited to a reasonably precise statement of the ultimate facts, in ordinary and concise language. CCP §425.10. Each cause of action should be separately stated, clearly labeled, and uniquely numbered. CRC 2.112. The pleading here is not. Either way, best this Court can tell, defendant has demurred to the original complaint and not the first amended complaint. Thus, the demurrer is moot. However, the first amended complaint is uncertain and hard to follow. Plaintiff is encouraged to set down the “lawyer talk” and just spell out in simple terms what the issue is.

This is an unlimited debt collection case. According to plaintiff’s CMC statement, the defendant has been served but has not yet been defaulted. Plaintiff asked for additional time to complete the default package. However, a review of the court file reveals an answer from defendant filed more than one month ago. There is no POS on the answer, which likely explains why plaintiff appears to be unaware of it.

This is a personal injury action. According to plaintiff, he sustained injuries

as a result of a dog bite on the premises of the Sonora Inn. The defendants were just recently served, despite this case having been pending since July. It is also curious that plaintiff tried to secure defaults against the defendants on the same day he made substituted service.

A continuance of the CMC is likely needed.

This is a collections case. On 04/02/2025, plaintiff caused to be filed herein

a Notice of Conditional Settlement of entire Case, indicating that a request for dismissal would be filed no later than 02/01/2028. Although this filing “removes the case from the computation of time used to determine case disposition time” (CRC 3.1385(c)(4)), and the trial court is expected to leave the case open/active until the date arbitrarily selected by the plaintiff in the Notice provided, it is unreasonable to ask a court to retain in its active inventory a case that will have zero activity for years. Instead, this Court will dismiss the action and reserve jurisdiction under CCP §664.6 to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement filed concurrently therewith.
