THE PACIFIC SOUTHWEST DISTRICT OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCH-MISSOURI SYNOD VS IRENE JENSEN, ET AL.

Jul 31, 2024 |22NWCV00320

Case Number: 22NWCV00320 Hearing Date: July 31, 2024 Dept: C PACIFIC SOUTHWEST DISTRICT OF LUTHERAN CHURCH-MISSOURI SYNOD v. IRENE JENSEN, ET AL. CASE NO.: 22NWCV00320 HEARING: 7/31/24 @ 9:30 A.M. #2 TENTATIVE RULING I. Plaintiff Pacific Southwest District of Lutheran Church-Missouri Synods motion for leave to file the first amended complaint is GRANTED. II. Plaintiff Pacific Southwest District of Lutheran Church-Missouri Synods motion for service by publication is DENIED without prejudice. Moving Party to give notice. Background This is a quiet title action filed by Pacific Southwest District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (PSD) seeking to determine the ownership of the church where Defendant Peace Lutheran Church (PLC) gathers. PSD contends that it now owns the property pursuant to PLCs constitution because PLCs congregation no longer exists. PSD moves for leave to file the first amended complaint and for service by publication. Motion for Leave to File the First Amended Complaint Legal Standard The court may, in furtherance of justice, and on any terms as may be proper, allow a party to amend any pleading or proceeding by adding or striking out the name of any party, or by correcting a mistake in the name of a party, or a mistake in any other respect; and may, upon like terms, enlarge the time for answer or demurrer. (Code Civ. Proc., § 473, subd. (a).) The court may likewise, in its discretion, after notice to the adverse party, allow, upon any terms as may be just, an amendment to any pleading or proceeding in other particulars; and may upon like terms allow an answer to be made after the time limited by this code. (Code Civ. Proc., § 473, subd. (a).) A court can deny leave to amend after long, inexcusable delay, where there is cognizable prejudice, such as discovery needed, trial delay, critical evidence lost, or added preparation expense. (Solit v. Tokai Bank (1999) 68 Cal.App.4th 1435, 1448.) Discussion On April 26, 2022, Plaintiff filed the complaint. Plaintiff proposes the following changes: (1) Identify Doe 1 as all persons unknown, claiming any legal or equitable right, title, estate, lien, or interest in the property described in the complaint adverse to Plaintiffs title or any cloud upon Plaintiffs title thereto (hereinafter referred to as Unknown Claimants). (2) Add a seventh cause of action for declaratory relief against Chastity Carvel, Peace Lutheran Church, Incorporated, of South Gate, California, Unknown Claimants, and Does 2-50. (3) Add an eighth cause of action for imposition of constructive trust against Chastity Carvel, Peace Lutheran Church, Incorporated, of South Gate, California, Unknown Claimants, and Does 2-50. (4) Add a ninth cause of action for ejectment against Chastity Carvel, Peace Lutheran Church, Incorporated, of South Gate, California, Unknown Claimants, and Does 2-50. 5. (5) Add a twelfth paragraph to the Prayer For a judicial determination and declaration that defendants Chastity Carvel, Peace Lutheran Church, Incorporated, of South Gate, California, Unknown Claimants, and Does 2-50 hold the subject property and funds as constructive trustee(s) for Plaintiffs benefit; that a constructive or resulting trust be imposed for the benefit of Plaintiff; and that an order be entered compelling Chastity Carvel, Peace Lutheran Church, Incorporated, of South Gate, California, and Does 1-50 to transfer said property to Plaintiff. (6) Add a thirteenth paragraph to the Prayer For an order directing defendants Chastity Carvel, Peace Lutheran Church, Incorporated, of South Gate, California, Unknown Claimants, and Does 2-50, and each of them, to surrender possession of all real and personal property of Peace Lutheran Church to Plaintiff. Plaintiff has included a copy of the proposed amended pleading. (Decl. Leverone, ¶ 2, Ex. A.) California recognizes a general rule of&liberal allowance of amendments& (Nestle v. City of Santa Monica (1972) 6 Cal.3d 920, 939.) It has also long been recognized that even if the proposed legal theory is a novel one, the preferable practice would be to permit the amendment and allow the parties to test its legal sufficiency by demurrer, motion for judgment on the pleadings or other appropriate proceedings. (Kittredge Sports Co. v. Superior Court (1989) 213 Cal.App.3d 1045, 1048.) In light of great liberality employed when ruling on a motion for leave to amend, the court will not normally consider the validity of the proposed amended pleading since grounds for demurrer or motion to strike are premature. Thus, absent prejudice to the opposing party, courts are bound to apply a policy of great liberality in permitting amendments to the complaint at any stage of the proceedings, up to and including trial. (emphasis added.) (Atkinson v. Elk Corp. (2003) 109 Cal.App.4th 739, 761.) In light of the liberality associated with granting motions for leave to amend up to and including the time of trial, the Court finds that PSD should be afforded the opportunity to make the proposed amendments. Defendants maintain their right to compel discovery, demur, move for judgment on the pleadings, move to strike, or move for summary judgment. The motion for leave to file the First Amended Complaint is GRANTED. Motion for Service by Publication Legal Standard If the Court determines that the plaintiff has made a showing that plaintiff used reasonable diligence to ascertain the identity and residence of and to serve summons on the persons named as unknown defendants, the court shall order service by publication pursuant to Section 415.50 and the provisions of this article. (Code Civ. Proc., § 763.010, subd. (b).) Discussion Plaintiffs counsel conclusorily states that Plaintiff and its counsel have used reasonable diligence to identify and locate all persons Plaintiff reasonably suspects might claim an interest in the subject property. (Decl. Leverone, ¶ 2.) Plaintiffs showing is not sufficient. The motion for service by publication is DENIED without prejudice.

SANDRA NORLUND, TRUSTEE OF THE NORLUND FAMILY TRUST DATED SEPTEMBER 15, 2000 VS RICHARD L. NORLUND, ET AL.

Jul 30, 2024 |20STCV27665

Case Number: 20STCV27665 Hearing Date: July 30, 2024 Dept: 40 Superior Court of California County of Los Angeles Department 40 SANDRA NORLUND, an individual, et al., Plaintiffs, v. RICHARD L. NORLUND, et al., Defendants. _____________________________________ NANCY HYMAS, as Trustee, Intervenor. Case No.: 20STCV27665 [Consolidated with 23STCV19070] Hearing Date: July 30, 2024 Trial Date: August 20, 2024 [TENTATIVE] RULING RE: DEFENDANTS DEMURRERS TO, AND MOTIONS TO STRIKE, THE SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT AND FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT IN INTERVENTION Case No.: 20STCV27665 The parties dispute title to the real property located at 14924 and 14930 Arrow Highway, Baldwin Park, California (the Property). Plaintiff Sandra Norlund (Plaintiff), as trustee of one Norlund Family Trust, sued defendants Richard L. Norlund and Sharon K. Bacon Norlund (Defendants), individually and in their capacities as trustees for four other Norlund trusts, on July 22, 2020. Plaintiff also named, as nominal defendant, Nancy Hymas in her capacity as trustees for two further trusts. Plaintiff filed her operative second amended complaint (SAC) on March 20, 2024, asserting claims for judicial foreclosure, quiet title, reformation of contract, declaratory relief, and elder abuse. Nominal defendant, now intervenor, Nancy Hymas (Intervenor) filed a complaint in intervention on October 20, 2023, and an operative first amended complaint in intervention (FACI) on April 18, 2024. The FACI asserts causes of action for judicial foreclosure, breach of contract, fraud, intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, declaratory relief, and quiet title. On May 22, 2024, Defendants demurred to and moved to strike portions of Plaintiffs FAC. On June 5, 2024, Defendants demurred to and moved to strike portions of Intervenors FACI. On July 15, 2024, Plaintiff and Intervenor filed oppositions to the respective demurrers and motions. On July 23, 2024, Defendants filed their replies to each. The Court has considered all moving, opposition, and reply papers, and rules as follows. Background Allegations Plaintiff alleges, in brief, that she was supposed to be the owner of a secured interest in [the Property], but Defendants fraudulently altered documents to invalidate her interest in the Property and/or the promissory note it secured. (SAC, ¶¶ 2-3; see also ¶¶ 13, 17-19.) Intervenor alleges she and Plaintiff were assigned the promissory note secured by the Property as part of a settlement agreement signed April 11, 2019. (FACI, ¶ 2.) Defendants breached the settlement agreement, including the terms of the promissory note, and failed to record a deed of trust reflecting the parties obligations under the Note. (Id., ¶ 3.) Judicial Notice Defendants request judicial notice of twenty-eight (28) exhibits totaling 2,180 pages. On July 15, 2024, Sandra Norlund filed objections to the request for judicial notice and Nancy Hymas filed an Opposition. The Court rules as follows. Most of the material is not properly subject to judicial notice (e.g., RJN Exs. 5, 9, 12 [declarations and deposition transcripts]). Several court records might be noticeable, except notice is unnecessary, because they already appear in the Courts record (e.g., RJN Exs. 7, 8, 10 [Judge Sotelos prior rulings]). The materials are also largely irrelevant. There is ... a precondition to the taking of judicial notice in either its mandatory or permissive formany matter to be judicially noticed must be relevant to a material issue. (People ex rel. Lockyer v. Shamrock Foods Co. (2000) 24 Cal.4th 415, 422 fn. 2.) As Judge Sotelo observed in his April 13, 2021 ruling on Defendants demurrer to the first amended complaint: Rarely will a demurrer require judicial notice of so many pages[.] And the length of Defendants filing here suggests, as with their 2021 motion, that Defendants have not actually filed a demurrer. (04-13-2021 Minute Order, at p. 1.) The Court denies Defendants requests for judicial notice in their entirety. Motions to Strike Except in a summary judgment or summary adjudication motion, no opening or responding memorandum may exceed 15 pages. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1113(d).) Defendants motions to strike run forty-eight (48) and one hundred seven (107) pages, respectively. The motions are denied for gross violations of Court Rules. Demurrers 1. Demurrer to Sandra Norlunds Second Amended Complaint a. Demurrers based on the motion to strike fail because the motion to strike has been denied. Defendants demur to the all five of Plaintiffs causes of action on the ground that after the Court sustains [sic] Defendants Motion to Strike ... [the] cause of action fails to state a cognizable cause of action[.] (Dem., 2:10-13, 2:19-3:4.) The Court has denied Defendants motion to strike, so this argument fails, and the demurrer is overruled in each instance. b. Defendants state a claim for quiet title. Defendants separately demur to the second cause of action for quiet title because it fails to state indispensable elements of the cause. (Dem., ¶ 3.) Defendants memorandum relies on numerous factual contentions that are improper for resolution at the pleading stage. To sustain the demurrer, the Court would have to make a factual findings that, for instance, it is Richard ... that inherited 1/3rd of the Warehouse and bought Sandras and Nancys 2/3rds interests. (Dem., 5:26-27.) Defendants also contend Plaintiff cannot state a claim because she cannot overcome the title presumption at Evidence Code section 662. (See Dem., 6:9-18.) But the Court cannot resolve an evidentiary presumption at the pleading stage. And to the extent Defendants rely on their requests for judicial notice, those requests have been denied. Defendants fundamentally argue that the Settlement is perfectly clear and any claim otherwise is frivolous and subject to demurrer. (See Dem., 5:16-19 [The Settlement is clear ... . This does demonstrate Sandra unclean hands, suing under the Settlement for a right not contained therein]; 6:5-6 [the Settlement clearly delineates to whom the Warehouse went and it is not Sandra].) Defendants have not made a reasoned argument why the Settlement is as clear as they contend. And this case has proceeded across two jurisdictions and through an appeal; various courts, including this one, disagree that the matter is so straightforward. The demurrer is overruled in its entirety. 2. Demurrer to Nancy Hymass Complaint in Intervention a. Demurrers based on the motion to strike fail. Defendants demur to the first cause of action based on their assumption that the Court will grant their Motion to Strike. The Court has denied that motion; the demurrer fails. b. There is no grounds for abatement. Defendants demur to the second, third, fifth, and sixth causes of action on the basis that the Plaintiff in intervention has alleged another fraud action which is pending. This argument fails. First, the other action which is pending has been consolidated with this one, so it is not another action. Second, the argument amounts to a plea in abatement, which requires a specific showing that identical claims be litigated between identical parties; Defendants have not made this showing in their moving papers. Defendants challenge the sixth cause of action based on factual contentions improper for resolution on demurrer. (See Dem., 5:1:10 [[t]he Settlement clearly demonstrates ... that title is in Richards name, based on the evidentiary title presumption].) This argument fails for reasons discussed above regarding the demurrer to the SAC. c. The intervenor states a claim for intentional interference with prospective economic advantage. Defendants challenge one cause of action the fourth, for intentional or negligent interference with prospective economic relations on grounds that are proper for demurrer. Defendants assert Intervenor has not alleged facts sufficient to state a claim on the face of her FACI. Although the argument is procedurally proper, the Court is not persuaded by it. To prevail on a cause of action for intentional interference with prospective economic advantage in California, a plaintiff must plead and prove (1) an economic relationship between the plaintiff and some third party, with the probability of future economic benefit to the plaintiff; (2) the defendant's knowledge of the relationship; (3) the defendant's intentional acts designed to disrupt the relationship; (4) actual disruption of the relationship; and (5) economic harm to the plaintiff proximately caused by the defendant's acts. (Reeves v. Hanlon (2004) 33 Cal.4th 1140, 1152 fn.6, italics added.) The First Amended Complaint in Intervention alleges that Plaintiffs and Intervenor had an economic relationship the loan secured by the Property that had the probability of benefit to both of them; that Defendants knew about it; that Defendants intentionally acted in a manner designed to disrupt it, by engaging in various fraud; that the relationship was disrupted (see the instant litigation); and that Intervenor incurred financial costs as a result. The demurrer to the fourth cause of action is overruled. Case No. 23STCV19070 Defendants also filed a Demurrer and Motion to Strike Intervenors Verified First Amended Complaint on May 30, 2024 in the related case that was transferred from Butte County in 2023, 23STCV19070. This case has now been consolidated at least for pretrial rulings up to the time of trial. Nancy Hymas filed an Opposition to both motions on July 15, 2024, and the Defendants filed their replies on July 23, 2024. The request for judicial notice, similar to the request in the lead case, runs 2034 pages and, among other things, asks the Court to take judicial notice of California statutory law, providing additional argument and case citations, in addition to lengthy argument about the import of some 37 exhibits. As with the judicial notice in the lead case, and for the same reasons, the Court declines the request to take judicial notice in its entirety. Also similar to the lead case, the motion to strike runs 69 pages and vastly exceeds the standards appropriate for a motion to strike, seeking resolution of disputed issues. The motion to strike is denied in its entirety for the same reasons as those in the lead case. Finally, the demurrer as to the First Amended Complaint in the lead case and the related case contain overlapping challenges. To the extent that Defendants make the same arguments, the Court overrules the demurrer on the same grounds as those stated above relating to the lead case. The Court also overrules the demurrer on the grounds that the second cause of action for fraud or fifth cause of action for quiet title are not stated with sufficient particularity. The Court disagrees, and the parties have long been apprised by now of the allegations by both sides. This matter is in fact ripe for trial. Court also overrules the demurrer as to the alleged ground that the claims do not state a cause of action. Defendants repeatedly frame their challenges as an argument about who should prevail and what the evidence will clearly show. The Court will not allow this demurrer to be transformed into a motion for summary judgment, or even a trial, with the Court being asked to make findings of fact. The hearing on demurrer may not be turned into a contested evidentiary hearing through the guise of having the court take judicial notice of documents whose truthfulness or proper interpretation are disputable. (Unruh-Haxton v. Regents of University of California (2008) 162 Cal.App.4th 343, 364365, as modified (May 15, 2008) [cleaned up].) Conclusion The demurrers are overruled in their entirety in both cases. The motions to strike are denied in their entirety in both cases.

Aug 05, 2024 |21SMUD00229

Case Number: 21SMUD00229 Hearing Date: August 5, 2024 Dept: P Tentative Ruling West Idaho, LLC v. Zhang, Case No. 21SMUD00229 Hearing date June 12, 2024, continued to 08/05/2024 Cross-defendant West Idahos Motion for Summary Judgment and/or Summary Adjudication as to Cross-complainant Zhangs -- UNOPPOSED Cross-defendant West Idaho LLC moves for summary judgment as to Zhangs cross complaint. The motion is unopposed. West Idaho sued Zhang for unlawful detainer. Zhang cross-complained, alleging (1) intentional infliction of emotional distress, (2) negligent infliction of emotional distress, (3) forcible detainer and (4) conversion. The cross-complaint alleges a security guard employed by West Idaho pointed a gun towards her door, and West Idaho changed the locks on her apartment. A party is entitled to bring a motion for summary judgment where there are no triable issues of fact and moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Code Civ. Proc., § 437c(c). Defendant bears the initial burden of establishing one or more elements of the cause of action cannot be established or that there is a complete defense to the cause of action. Id. subd. (p)(2). Only when this initial burden is met does the burden shift to the opposing party to show a triable issue of material fact. Id. A party may move for summary adjudication as to one or more causes of action if the party contends the cause of action has no merit. Id. subd. (f)(1). A party may move for summary adjudication as an alternative to summary judgment and shall proceed in all procedural respects as a motion for summary judgment. Id. subd. (f)(2). Even though a motion for summary judgment is unopposed, the court cannot grant summary judgment unless defendant meets its initial burden. See Johnson v. Superior Court (2006) 143 Cal.App.4th 297, 305. The scope of the defendants initial burden is defined by the pleadings. See 580 Folsom Assocs. v. Prometheus Dev. Co. (1990) 223 Cal.App.3d 1, 18. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress The elements of a prima facie case for the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress are: (1) extreme and outrageous conduct by the defendant with the intention of causing, or reckless disregard of the probability of causing, emotional distress; (2) the plaintiffs suffering severe or extreme emotional distress; and (3) actual and proximate causation of the emotional distress by the defendants outrageous conduct. Conduct to be outrageous must be so extreme as to exceed all bounds of that usually tolerated in a civilized community. Wilson v. Hynek (2012) 207 Cal.App.4th 999, 1009, citation and ellipses omitted. West Idaho argues Zhang cannot establish the conduct was outrageous. Deciding whether conduct is outrageous is usually a question of fact. So v. Shin (2013) 212 Cal.App.4th 652, 672, as modified on denial of reh'g (Jan. 28, 2013). A defendants conduct is considered to be extreme and outrageous if it is so extreme as to exceed all bounds of that usually tolerated in a civilized community. Crouch v. Trinity Christian Center of Santa Ana, Inc. (2019) 39 Cal.App.5th 995, 1007; Hughes v. Pair (2009) 46 Cal.4th 1035, 1051. Defendants argue the video footage is undisputed evidence that the security guards conduct was not extreme or outrageous. Video of the incident shows the guard was holding a phone, not a gun (UMF No. 5). The guard Mohseni states when he was at the premises on March 5, 2021, he did not have a gun in his possession. Mohseni Decl. ¶5. Defendant meets the initial burden of showing there was no extreme or outrageous conduct; the burden shifts to plaintiff to show a triable issue of material fact. As no opposition has been filed, Zhang has not established a question of material fact as to any conduct that was extreme or outrageous. Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress The negligent causing of emotional distress is not an independent tort, but the tort of negligence. The traditional elements of duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages apply. Marlene F. v. Affiliated Psychiatric Medical Clinic, Inc. (1989) 48 Cal.3d 583, 588-589. The emotional distress suffered by the plaintiff must be so severe and enduring that no reasonable person could be expected to endure it. Bogard v. Employers Causalty Co. (1985) 164 Cal.App.3d 602, 617-618. A landlord owes a tenant a duty of reasonable care in providing and maintaining the rented premises in a safe condition. Civ. Code §1714(a); Peterson v. Superior Court (1995) 10 Cal.4th 1185, 1189. This means a landlord in caring for the property, must act toward the tenant as a reasonable person under all of the circ*mstances. Mora v. Baker Commodities, Inc. (1989) 210 Cal.App.3d 771, 779. West Idaho argues Zhang cannot establish that West Idaho breached any duty. West Idaho presents evidence that Mohseni went to Zhangs apartment to investigate a noise complaint. UMF No. 2. Video evidence demonstrates Mohsenis hand was holding a phone, not a gun. UMF No. 5. Mohseni states that he did not have a gun in possession during the incident. Mohseni Decl. ¶5. Mohseni acted reasonably in investigating the noise complaint by appearing in-person. Moving party meets its initial burden regarding the NIED claim. No opposition has been filed; Zhang has not raised a question of material fact as to the NIED claim. Forcible Detainer A person is guilty of a forcible detainer who either: (1) By force, or by menaces and threats of violence, unlawfully holds and keeps the possession of any real property, whether the same was acquired peaceably or otherwise. (2) Who, in the night-time, or during the absence of the occupant of any lands, unlawfully enters upon real property, and who, after demand made for the surrender thereof, for the period of five days, refuses to surrender the same to such former occupant. Cal. Code Civ. Proc. §1160 Zhang alleges West Idahos changing of the locks on the apartment and refusing to allow her to retrieve her possessions make it guilty of forcible detainer. West Idaho argues the forcible detainer claim fails because Zhang voluntarily vacated the premises before the locks were changed. It presents evidence of her voluntarily vacating prior to West Idaho changing the locks. UMF No. 10. Zhang returned her key to West Idahos leasing office, and all of her belongings were vacated prior to West Idaho changing the Premises locks. UMF No. 11. Section 1160 does not apply unless the defendant who entered the property, after demand made for the surrender thereof, for the period of five days, refuses to surrender the same to such former occupant. West Idaho presents evidence that Zhang returned her key to its leasing office, and all her belongings were vacated before it changed the locks. Zhang was no longer occupying the apartment, and West Idaho did not unlawfully enter the property. Defendant meets its initial burden. As no opposition has been filed, Zhang has not raised a question of material fact as to forcible detainer. Conversion Zhang alleges West Idahos changing of the locks on the apartment and refusing to allow her to obtain her property constitute a wrongful act or disposition of property rights and makes it liable for conversion. The elements for conversion are: (1) the plaintiff owned or had the right to possess the personal property; (2) the defendant disposed of the property in a manner inconsistent with the plaintiffs property rights; and (3) resulting damages. Berry v. Frazier (2023) 90 Cal.App.5th 1258, 1271. It is not necessary that there be a manual taking of the property; it is only necessary to show an assumption of control or ownership over the property, or that the alleged converter has applied the property to his own use. Oakdale Village Group v. Fong (1996) 43 Cal.App.4th 539, 544, as modified on denial of reh'g (Apr. 10, 1996). West Idaho argues Zhang has not shown ownership or right to possession at the time of the alleged conversion, as per the above analysis. West Idaho meets its initial burden; Zhang has not shown any material facts in dispute. GRANTED.

JESSICA PURNER, ET AL. VS GREYSTONE PROPERTIES, LLC, ET AL.

Aug 05, 2024 |22SMCV01816

Case Number: 22SMCV01816 Hearing Date: August 5, 2024 Dept: P Tentative Ruling Purner, et al. v. Greystone Properties, LLC, et al., Case No. 22SMCV01816 Hearing Date: August 5, 2024 Plaintiffs Motion for Leave to Amend the Complaint UNOPPOSED In this habitability action arising from bed bug infestation, plaintiff tenants seek for leave to file a first amended complaint, adding three new causes for actions. Leave to amend is permitted under Code of Civil Procedure sections 473(a) and 576. The policy favoring amendment and resolving all matters in the same dispute is so strong that it is a rare case in which denial of leave to amend can be justified. . .. Although courts are bound to apply a policy of great liberality in permitting amendments to the complaint at any stage of the proceedings, up to and including trial [citations], this policy should be applied only where no prejudice is shown to the adverse party . . .. [citation]. A different result is indicated where inexcusable delay and probable prejudice to the opposing party is shown. [Citation]. Magpali v. Farmers Group (1996) 48 Cal.App.4th 471, 487. A motion for leave to amend a pleading must comply with California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1324, which requires a declaration to set forth what allegations are to be added and where, and what new evidence was discovered warranting amendment and why the amendment was not made earlier. The motion must include (1) a proposed and numbered amendment, (2) specifications by reference to pages and lines the allegations that would be deleted and added, and (3) a declaration specifying the effect, necessity and propriety of the amendments, date of discovery and reasons for delay. Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1324(a), (b). The motion complies with CRC rule 3.1324. Plaintiffs counsel states the deposition of Josh Wolf on May 14, 2024, revealed additional facts and violations of Plaintiffs rights by the defendant. Bartlett Decl. ¶ 3. Plaintiffs specify the effect, necessity, and propriety of the amendment because they state the proposed FAC seeks to clean up allegations and errors in the Complaint while adding three new causes of action: 1) violation of the Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance; 2) negligence; and 3) breach of contract based on an illegal contract. Id. ¶¶ 5-6. Plaintiffs specify where the edits would be made by providing a blue-lined copy of the proposed FAC showing the changes between the proposed FAC and the complaint. Id. ¶ 7; Exh. B. Finally, Bartlett states the amendment was not made earlier because plaintiffs were unable to get an agreement with defendants to file a joint stipulation. Id. ¶¶ 4, 9. Defendants would not be prejudiced as they have not taken any depositions of the plaintiffs and do not file an opposition. Id. ¶ 3. GRANTED.

JEFFREY GIUDICE VS ZANDER RILEY, ET AL.

Jul 31, 2024 |24SMCV01835

Case Number: 24SMCV01835 Hearing Date: July 31, 2024 Dept: P Tentative Ruling Jeffrey Giudice v. John Riley, et al., Case No. 24SMCV01835 Hearing date July 31, 2024 Plaintiff Giudices Motion for Summary Judgment/Adjudication - UNOPPOSED This unlawful detainer action is brought by plaintiff landlord Giudice against defendants John Riley and Zander Riley. On January 15, 2020 plaintiff and defendant John Riley entered into a written agreement to rent the premises on a month-to-month basis for $4,588 per month. Complaint, ¶4-6. The rent was changed on February 8, 2024 to $4,863/month. Compliant, ¶ 6(d). Defendants failed to pay outstanding rent or comply with a notice to quit. Complaint, ¶ 9(a)(6) and 19(c). Giudice seeks possession, past due rent of $40,996, forfeiture of the rental agreement, costs, reasonable attorneys fees and holdover damages of $162/day from April 1, 2024. Complaint, ¶ 19. On May 21, 2024, defendant Zander Riley, in pro per, answered. On May 22, 2024, defendant John Riley in pro per, answered. On July 3, 2024, Giudice filed and served via U.S. mail this motion for summary judgment or, in the alternative, summary adjudication on the grounds that there is no triable issue of material fact as to any allegation of the complaint, and defendants have no viable defense. As of July 26, 2024, the motion is unopposed. Legal Standard/Applicable Law A motion for summary judgment or adjudication provides courts with a mechanism to cut through the parties pleadings in order to determine whether, despite their allegations, trial is in fact necessary to resolve their dispute. Aguilar v. Atlantic Richfield Co. (2001) 25 Cal.4th 826, 843. It must be granted if all the evidence submitted, and all inferences reasonably deducible from the evidence and uncontradicted by other inferences or evidence, show that there is no triable issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Adler v. Manor Healthcare Corp. (1992) 7 Cal.App.4th 1110, 1119, quoting Code Civ. Proc., § 437c, subd. (c). In the unlawful detainer context, [a] motion for summary judgment may be made at any time after the answer is filed upon giving five days notice. Code Civ. Proc., § 1170.7. Service must be made by personal delivery, electronic service, fax transmission, express mail, or other means consistent with Code of Civil Procedure sections 1010, 1010.6, 1011, 1012, and 1013, and reasonable calculated to ensure delivery to the other party or parties no later than the close of business on the court day before the hearing. Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1351(c). The court, in its discretion, may consider written opposition filed later. Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1351(c). The procedures governing a motion for summary judgment in an unlawful detainer action are streamlined (e.g., separate statements are not required under section 437c, subdivision (s) of the Code of Civil Procedure), but such a motion shall be granted or denied on the same basis as a motion under [Code of Civil Procedure s]ection 437c . . . . Borden v. Stiles (2023) 92 Cal.App.5th 337, 344-345, quoting Code Civ. Proc., § 1170.7. In moving for summary judgment, a plaintiff . . . has met his burden of showing that there is no defense to a cause of action if he has proved each element of the cause of action entitling him to judgment on that cause of action. Borden v. Stiles, supra, 92 Cal.App.5th 337, 345, internal quotations omitted, citation omitted. Once the plaintiff . . . has met that burden, the burden shifts to the defendant . . . to show that a triable issue of one or more material facts exists as to that cause of action or a defense thereto. Id., internal quotations omitted, citation omitted. Elements for an Unlawful Detainer Based on Nonpayment of Rent The basic elements of unlawful detainer for nonpayment of rent contained in Code of Civil Procedure section 1161, subdivision (2), are (1) the tenant is in possession of the premises; (2) that possession is without permission; (3) the tenant is in default for nonpayment of rent; (4) the tenant has been properly served with a written three-day notice; and (5) the default continues after the three-day notice period has elapsed. Kruger v. Reyes (2014) 232 Cal.App.4th Supp. 10, 16. Giudices Evidence Giudice presents evidence defendants are in possession of the property. Giudice Decl., ¶ 23. Giudice owns the property. Giudice Decl., ¶ 3; Ex. 1. Giudice entered into a lease with defendant John Riley on or about January 15, 2020. Giudice Decl., ¶ 9; Ex. 5. In January 2020 and April 2020, defendants failed to make rental payments. Giudice Decl., ¶¶ 13-14; Ex. 6. Defendants have a balance of $60,448 for rent from April through July 2024. Giudice Decl., ¶ 15; Ex. 6. On February 7, 2024, defendants and all occupants of the property were served with a 30-Day Notice to Pay Rent of Quit. Adams Decl., ¶¶ 4-5; Ex. 7. On March 6, 2024, Plaintiffs counsel prepared an Offer of Conditional Extension to the 30-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit served on February 7, 2024, which extended the notice to pay or quit by 30 days in exchange for defendants additional payment of $10,000.00 by March 8, 2024. Adams Decl., ¶ 7; Ex. 21. The offer clarified that partial payment does not constitute waiver of any rights and defendants failed to make any additional payments after March 11, 2024. Adams Decl., ¶ 7; Ex. 21. On or about April 9, 2024, Plaintiffs counsels office prepared the Notice to Quit (Without Opportunity to Cure), which provided three days for defendants to deliver possession of the property, which was served on April 10, 2024. Adams Decl., ¶¶ 8-9; Exs. 9-10. Defendants did not respond. Adams Decl., ¶ 10. The notice to quit was issued because of defendants failure to comply with the February 7, 2024 thirty day notice to pay rent or quit. Adams Decl., ¶ 8; Ex. 9. Following the failure to vacate after expiration of the notice to quit, Giudice filed the complaint. Adams Decl., ¶ 11. Giudice presents evidence the 30-day notice to pay rent or quit and subsequent notice to quit were properly served. Adams Decl., ¶ 4; Rodriguez Decl., ¶¶ 2-3. Giudice has not received any payment from defendants since March 11, 2024, and he did not waive, change, or cancel the notice to quit. Giudice Decl., ¶¶ 16, 20. Giudice did not accept rental payments from defendants after the notice to quit was served. Giudice Decl., ¶ 22. As of the date of his declaration, defendants remain in possession of the property. Giudice Decl., ¶ 23. Given that the motion is unopposed, the Court finds defendants have conceded to all arguments raised therein because [c]ontetions are waived when a party fails to support them with reasoned argument and citations to authority. Moulton Niguel Water Dist. v. Colombo (2003) 111 Cal.App.4th 1210, 1215. The plaintiff has met his initial burden on summary judgment with evidence establishing each element for his cause of action for unlawful detainer based on nonpayment of rent. The defendants failed to oppose and failed to provide any responsive evidence. As such, defendants have not met their burden in showing the existence of a triable issue of material fact as to a cause of action or defense thereto. GRANT.
