July 26. 2024 Civil Law & Motion Tentative Rulings

1. CL0001401                 Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. vs. Adam E. Pratt

Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment is granted. 

​​​​​​​Standard for Summary Judgment

The function of a motion for summary judgment or adjudication is to allow a determination as to whether an opposing party cannot show evidentiary support for a pleading or claim and to enable an order of summary dismissal without the need for trial.  (Aguilar v. Atlantic Richfield Co. (2001) 25 Cal.4th 826, 843.)  In analyzing motions for summary judgment, courts must apply a three-step analysis: (1) identify the issues framed by the pleadings to be addressed; (2) determine whether moving party showed facts justifying a judgment in movant's favor; and (3) determine whether the opposing party demonstrated the existence of a triable, material issue of fact. (Sun v. City of Oakland (2008) 166 Cal.App.4th 1177, 1182-83; McGarry v. Sax (2008) 158 Cal.App.4th 983, 994; Hinesley v. Oakshade Town Center (2005) 135 Cal. App. 4th 289, 294.)

First Cause of Action:  Breach of Contract

Plaintiff’s undisputed facts demonstrate that the parties entered into a contract, that is, the card holder agreement; that plaintiff performed its obligations under the contract by extending a line of credit to defendant, that defendant breached the contract by failing to pay his credit card charges as agreed, and that plaintiff sustained damages in the amount of $14,279.72.  (See Richman v. Hartley (2014) 224 Cal. App. 4th 1182, 1186.)  Defendant has not opposed the motion and has not demonstrated the existence of any triable, material issues of fact.  Plaintiff is entitled to judgment as to this claim.

Second Cause of Action:  Common Counts

Plaintiff’s undisputed facts demonstrate that the parties entered into an agreement, that is, the card holder agreement, which was a written record of the credits and debts between the parties, that their prior transactions established a debtor-creditor relationship, that defendant promised to pay the amounts due under the agreement, and that defendant owes plaintiff $14,279.72.  (See Zinn v. Fred R. Bright Co. (1969) 271 Cal. App. 2d 597, 600.)  Defendant has not opposed the motion and has not demonstrated the existence of any triable, material issues of fact.  Plaintiff is entitled to judgment as to this claim.

2. CL0001447                 Vanessa Starkey vs. Jeremiah Storer

Defendant’s motion to quash service of the summons and complaint is denied.  

Defendant previously filed an April 22, 2024 motion to quash for improper service of the summons and complaint, which was denied by this court in a May 29, 2024 order (concluding that service by posting and mailing was appropriate).  Defendant’s June 3, 2024 writ regarding the same was denied by the appellate division in a June 10, 2024 order (affirming trial court finding of proper service). 

Defendant’s present motion to quash service of the summons and complaint is construed as a motion for reconsideration as it articulates potentially new grounds to quash the summons and complaint.  That motion must be denied.  Code of Civil Procedure Section 1008, subdivision (a) states that a party may “within 10 days after service upon the party of written notice of entry of the order and based upon new or different facts, circumstances, or law, make application to the same judge or court that made the order, to reconsider the matter and modify, amend, or revoke the prior order.”  Similarly, section 1008, subdivision (b) provides, “[a] party who originally made an application for an order which was refused in whole or part ... may make a subsequent application for the same order upon new or different facts, circumstances, or law” set forth in an accompanying affidavit.  (See Global Protein Products, Inc. v. Le (2019) 42 Cal.App.5th 352, 362.) In addition, a moving party must “show diligence with a satisfactory explanation for not presenting the new or different information earlier ....” (Even Zohar Construction & Remodeling, Inc. v. Bellaire Townhouses, LLC (2015) 61 Cal.4th 830, 833.)  Here, the present motion for reconsideration has been filed well beyond the ten-day deadline and is untimely.  Moreover, defendant has made no showing of new or different facts, circumstances or law justifying reconsideration and has made no showing of diligence related thereto.  

In addition,  “ ‘[t]he law of the case doctrine holds that when an appellate opinion states a principle or rule of law necessary to the decision, that principle or rule becomes the law of the case and must be adhered to through its subsequent progress in the lower court and upon subsequent appeal.’ ” (People v. Cooper (2007) 149 Cal.App.4th 500, 524.)

Such is the case here.  The appellate division has addressed the adequacy of service, and its decision is now controlling for purposes of the current trial court proceedings. 

Plaintiff’s request for monetary sanctions against defendant is denied.  Code of Civil Procedure section 128.5 requires such a motion to be made separately from other motions and must give defendant twenty-one days to withdraw his motion.  Also, plaintiff does not provide a breakdown of the $1,400.00 requested, including the number of hours it took to prepare the opposition, the attorney’s hourly rate, or costs, which would enable the court to determine reasonable attorney’s fees. 

Defendant shall file an answer or other responsive pleading within five days of service of the order after hearing. (See Code. Civ. § 1167.4.)

 

3. CU0000079                A.C and M.C. v. The County of Nevada

The motion of defendant Toderean for summary judgment is granted.  The motions of defendant Harrison and defendant County of Nevada for summary judgment are denied.  The motions of defendant Harrison and defendant County of Nevada for summary adjudication are granted in connection with the claim for punitive damages and otherwise denied.

Standard for Summary Judgment

California Code of Civil Procedure section 437c provides for a grant of summary judgment as follows:

(a)(1) A party may move for summary judgment in an action or proceeding if it is contended that the action has no merit or that there is no defense to the action or proceeding.

* * *

(c) The motion for summary judgment shall be granted if all the papers submitted show that there is no triable issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.

 (Code Civ. Proc. § 437c.)

“The purpose of the law of summary judgment is to provide courts with a mechanism to cut through the parties’ pleadings . . . to determine whether, despite their allegations, trial is in fact necessary to resolve their disputes.” (Aguilar v. Atlantic Richfield Co. (2001) 25 Cal. 4^th 826, 843.)

The moving party “bears the burden of persuasion that there is no triable issue of material fact and that [they are] entitled to judgment as a matter of law.”  (Aguilar, 25 Cal. 4th at 850; see also Code Civ. Proc., § 437(c), subd. (c).)  A moving party has met their “burden of showing that a cause of action has no merit if” they “ha[ve] shown that one or more elements of a cause of action cannot be established or that there is a complete defense to that cause of action.” (Hennigan v. White (2011) 199 Cal.App.4th 395, 401.)

Once the defendant has met its burden, the burden of persuasion shifts to the plaintiff to show that a triable issue of fact exists as to that cause of action “or a defense thereto.” (Code Civ. Proc. § 437c(p); Aguilar, 25 Cal.4th at 849).  The plaintiff “may not rely upon the mere allegations or denials” of their “pleadings to show that a triable issue of material fact exists but, instead,” must “set forth the specific facts showing that a triable issue of material fact exists as to that cause of action or a defense thereto.”  (Code Civ. Proc. § 437c (p); Aguilar, 25 Cal.4th at p. 849.)

While summary judgment must dispose of the entire complaint, summary adjudication must dispose of the entire cause of action.  (Civ. Code § 437c, subd. (c), and subd. (f)(1).)  “If a cause of action is not shown to be barred in its entirety, no order for summary judgment – or adjudication – can be entered.”  (McCaskey v. California State Automobile Assn. (2010) 189 Cal.App.4th 947, 975).  Any evidentiary doubts or ambiguities must be resolved in favor of the party opposing summary judgment. (Saelzler v. Advanced Group 400 (2001) 25 Cal.4th 763, 768.)

Objections to Evidence

Plaintiffs’ objections to defendants’ evidence are sustained as follows: 1-8 (relevance to the extent this evidence was unknown to Deputies); 9 (relevance).  All other objections are overruled.

Defendants’ objections to plaintiffs’ evidence are sustained as follows: 7-9 (relevance in the context of the instant motion).  The remaining objections are overruled. 

The parties have raised various evidentiary objections in connection with their separate statements.  The court has ruled on the separately filed evidentiary objections.  The court does not rule on any evidentiary objections that have not been separately filed as required.  (See, e.g., Hodjat v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Ins. Co. (2012) 211 Cal.App.4th 1, 8–9.)  Finally, the parties raised various concerns regarding assertion of argument versus fact in the separate statements.  The court has carefully separated factual matters from argument when considering the separate statements. 

Discussion

Claims 2-4-Negligence Theories

Defendants argue that they are entitled to summary judgment as to all of plaintiffs’ negligence claims.  Per defendants, these claims fail because Deputy Harrison and Deputy Toderean used objectively reasonable force under the totality of the circumstances.

Plaintiffs contend that “a jury must be permitted to determine the following questions of material fact: 1) whether the Defendants failed to follow their training regarding field contacts with persons with mental illness; 2) whether the Defendants employed reasonable pre-use of force tactics; 3) whether Harrison acted unreasonably in sneaking up behind Ms. Crawford; 4) whether it was reasonable for Harrison to taser Ms. Crawford; 5) whether Ms. Crawford was acting violently towards the Defendants; 6) whether Ms. Crawford posed an immediate threat prior to the use of the Taser; 7) whether Ms. Crawford made any violent actions with the knife; and 8) whether Defendants created their own exigency.”

The court agrees with the position of defendant Toderean, but not that of the other defendants. 

Plaintiffs have four (4) separate claims brought under the theory of negligence (negligence, wrongful death - negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress - direct victim liability, negligent infliction of emotional distress – bystander liability).  The same standard applies to each of these claims.  To prove negligence, a plaintiff must show the defendant had a duty to use due care, he breached that duty, and the breach was the proximate cause of the injury. (Hayes v. County of San Diego (2013) 57 Cal.4th 622, 629.)  Further, in determining whether an officer’s use of force breached the duty of care, California courts apply the same standards applicable in federal cases. Accordingly, courts must apply the Graham factors to determine whether, under all of the circumstances known to the officers at the scene, a use of force was objectively reasonable from the perspective of a reasonable peace officer, including: (1) whether the suspect posed an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others; (2) the severity of the crime at issue; and (3) whether the subject actively resisted arrest and/or attempted to evade arrest by flight. (See Graham v. Connor (1989) 490 U.S. 386, 441 (threat to the officer/others is the most important Graham factor); Martinez v. County of Los Angeles (1996) 47 Cal.App.4th 334, 349-50 (seizure-related state torts use Graham reasonableness standard).)  A police officer may use deadly force where the officer reasonably believes (has probable cause that) the suspect poses an immediate threat of death or serious physical harm to the officer or others. (See Tennessee v. Garner (1985) 471 U.S. 1, 11.)

“Law enforcement personnel's tactical conduct and decisions preceding the use of deadly force are relevant considerations under California law in determining whether the use of deadly force gives rise to negligence liability.”  (Hayes v. County of San Diego (2013) 57 Cal.4th 622, 639.)  Explains our high court:

This court has long recognized that peace officers have a duty to act reasonably when using deadly force. The reasonableness of an officer's conduct is determined in light of the totality of circumstances.

Instructive here is our decision in [Grudt v. City of Los Angeles (1970) 2 Cal.3d] 575. In Grudt, a police officer in plain clothes, carrying a double-barreled shotgun, approached a car, possibly causing the driver to think he was being robbed or attacked. The driver accelerated the car toward a second plainclothes officer, and then both officers opened fire on the driver, killing him. (Id. at pp. 581–582.) This court held that the trial court erred in barring a claim of negligence against the officers. (Id. at pp. 585–588.)  Significantly, the shooting in Grudt appeared justified if examined in isolation, because the driver was accelerating his car toward one of the officers just before the shooting. Nevertheless, we concluded that the totality of the circumstances, including the preshooting conduct of the officers, might persuade a jury to find the shooting negligent. (Ibid.) In other words, preshooting circumstances might show that an otherwise reasonable use of deadly force was in fact unreasonable.

(Id. at 629–630 (citations omitted)). 

“[P]reshooting conduct is included in the totality of circumstances surrounding an officer's use of deadly force, and therefore the officer's duty to act reasonably when using deadly force extends to preshooting conduct.  But in a case like this one, where the preshooting conduct did not cause the plaintiff any injury independent of the injury resulting from the shooting, the reasonableness of the officers' preshooting conduct should not be considered in isolation. Rather, it should be considered in relation to the question whether the officers' ultimate use of deadly force was reasonable.”

[A]s the nation's high court has observed, “[t]he ‘reasonableness' of a particular use of force must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, rather than with the 20/20 vision of hindsight.”  In addition, “[a]s long as an officer's conduct falls within the range of conduct that is reasonable under the circumstances, there is no requirement that he or she choose the ‘most reasonable’ action or the conduct that is the least likely to cause harm and at the same time the most likely to result in the successful apprehension of a violent suspect, in order to avoid liability for negligence.” Although preshooting conduct is included in the totality of circumstances, we do not want to suggest that a particular preshooting protocol (such as a background check or consultation with psychiatric experts) is always required. Law enforcement personnel have a degree of discretion as to how they choose to address a particular situation. Summary judgment is appropriate when the trial court determines that, viewing the facts most favorably to the plaintiff, no reasonable juror could find negligence.

(Id. at 632 (citations omitted)).

Viewing the facts most favorably to plaintiffs, as the court must, a reasonable juror could not find negligence as to defendant Toderean.  The undisputed evidence (including particularly the video evidence), shows that Deputy Toderean acted reasonably under the totality of the circumstances, from commencement of his contact with Crawford through the time that he utilized deadly force against her.  Plaintiffs have not demonstrated the existence of any triable, material issues of fact as to these claims. 

Viewing the facts most favorably to plaintiffs, a reasonable juror could find negligence as to defendant Harrison. There is a material dispute as to the pre-shooting conduct by Deputy Harrison, specifically the reasonableness of Deputy Harrison’s decision to close the distance between himself and Crawford moments immediately before he attempted to deploy his taser (given the specific circumstances at that time related to Crawford, including her then mental state and level of threat posed by her) and the reasonableness of his decision to deploy a taser (again, given the circumstances at that point in time related to Crawford). A fact finder, in weighing the evidence, considering credibility, and drawing inferences, could reasonably conclude that Deputy Harrison’s decisions were not reasonable, that these actions provoked/caused Crawford to pursue Harrison (that is, his actions created the emergency or exigency), which, in turn, ultimately caused Deputy Toderean to deploy deadly force. 

The court concludes that summary judgment is warranted as to the claims against Deputy Toderean, and is not warranted as to the claims against Deputy Harrison.

Claim 1-Bane Act Violation

Defendants seek summary judgment as to this claim, arguing solely that there is no evidence that Deputy Harrison specifically intended to deprive Crawford of her constitutional rights.  Plaintiffs contend that the evidence is sufficient for a jury to find reckless disregard.  Plaintiffs have the better argument. 

The Bane Act, among other things, requires a showing of “specific intent to violate the arrestee’s right to freedom from unreasonable seizure.” (Reese v. Cnty. of Sacramento (9th Cir. 2018) 888 F.3d 1030, 1043-45, quoting Cornell v. City of San Francisco (2017) 17 Cal.App.5th 799, 801 (emphasis added)).  Specific intent, in turn, has been defined as follows:

“[A] mere intention to use force that the jury ultimately finds unreasonable—that is, general criminal intent—is insufficient.” (United States v. Reese, 2 F.3d 870, 885 (9th Cir. 1993).) Rather, the jury must find that the defendants “intended not only the force, but its unreasonableness, its character as ‘more than necessary under the circum-

stances.’ ” Id. But it is not necessary for the defendants to have been “thinking in constitutional or legal terms at the time of the incidents, because a reckless disregard for a person's constitutional rights is evidence of a specific intent to deprive that person of those rights.” Id.

(Id. at 1045 (parenthesis and italics added); see Cornell v. City & County of San Francisco (2017) 17 Cal.App.5th 766, 801 (“the egregiousness required by Section 52.1 is tested by whether the circumstances indicate the arresting officer had a specific intent to violate the arrestee's right to freedom from unreasonable seizure;” "whether the appellant officers understood they were acting unlawfully was not a requirement. Reckless disregard of the ‘right at issue’ is all that was necessary.”))

Here, for the reasons set forth previously, Deputy Harrison is not entitled to judgment as a matter of law on this claim.  Viewing the facts most favorably to plaintiffs, a reasonable juror could find that defendant Harrison acted unreasonably in connection with Crawford, with a reckless disregard for her constitutional rights.

Vicarious Liability

The county argues that it is not liable because the deputies are not liable.  The court disagrees. 

Because summary judgment/adjudication as to the underlying claims is not appropriate as to defendant Harrison, summary judgment/adjudication is not appropriate as to the county.   (See, e.g., Thomas v. City of Richmond (1995) 9 Cal.4th 1154, 1157 [“A public entity, as the employer, is generally liable for the torts of an employee committed within the scope of employment if the employee is liable.”].) 

Punitive Damages

Defendants seek summary judgment on the punitive damages claim, arguing that the county is immune from such damages and that there is insufficient evidence to support such damages as to the deputies.  Plaintiffs have filed no opposition. 

Defendant County of Nevada is immune from punitive damages awarded under section 3294 of the Civil Code or other damages imposed primarily for the sake of example and by way of punishing the defendant. (See Government Code § 818.)  In addition, there is no clear and convincing evidence that the conduct of Deputy Harrison and Deputy Toderean was malicious, wanton, or oppressive.  (See Civil Code § 3294; Basich v. Allstate Ins. Co. (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 1112, 1121.)

All defendants are entitled to summary adjudication as to punitive damages.

4. CU0000396                Amanda Peterson, et al. v. Larry Holt, et al.

This matter is dropped from calendar.  A decision has been issued on the pending motion; this was calendared improvidently.

5. CU0000569                Susan Foote vs. Jenny Renee Hunter Kaeding

This matter was set on this date for oral argument on defendant’s motion to expunge lis pendens, initially set for hearing on 6-14-24.  The court has received notice of defendant’s bankruptcy filing. “The Bankruptcy Act provides that the commencement or continuation of any legal proceeding against the debtor is automatically stayed by the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, until adjudication or dismissal of the petition.” (Danielson v. ITT Industrial Credit Co. (1988) 199 Cal.App.3d 645, 652 (Danielson) (emphasis added)); 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)(1).) “The automatic stay is applicable only to proceedings against the debtor.” (In re Miller (9th Cir. 2005) 397 F.3d 726, 729.)

If/when the bankruptcy stay is lifted, defendant may calendar a date for oral argument on the court’s tentative ruling which is set forth in the court’s minute order of 6-14-24.  The parties shall advise the court of any change in connection with the status of the bankruptcy stay within five court days of the same.  A case management conference for this case is set for January 27, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. 6.

9. CU21-085424             David Hunter vs. Bruce Coy, et al.

The unopposed motion of plaintiff for attorney’s fees and costs is granted. The pendency of an appeal regarding the motion for enforcement of the settlement agreement does not preclude resolution of this motion.   (See Domestic Linen Supply Co., Inc. v. L J T Flowers, Inc. (2020) 58 Cal.App.5th 180, 187 [“It is well settled that the filing of an appeal does not stay a motion for attorney fees.”].) 

To the extent that defendant seeks any discretionary stay of trial court proceedings (separate and apart from the ordinary stay under Code of Civil Procedure section 916), he must notice and file a separate motion as required under the Rules of Procedure.

3.         CU18-083071             Cheryl Fornear vs. Mark Macias

Defendant’s motion to enforce the settlement agreement pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 664.6 is granted.

A court ruling on a motion under section 664.6 must determine whether the parties entered into a valid and binding settlement. (Osumi v. Sutton (2007) 151 Cal.App.4th 1355, 1360.)  A settlement is enforceable under section 664.6 only if the parties agreed to all material settlement terms. (Elyaoudayan v. Hoffman (2003) 104 Cal.App.4th 1421, 1430–1432.) When ruling on a section 664.6 motion, the trial court acts as a trier of fact. (Fiore v. Alvord (1985) 182 Cal.App.3d 561, 565.)  Because the section 664.6 procedure is essentially a mini-trial on the enforceability of the settlement agreement, the court deciding such a motion may receive oral testimony, or may determine the motion upon declarations and other evidence. (Corkland v. Boscoe (1984) 156 Cal.App.3d 989, 994; Malouf Bros. v. Dixon (1991) 230 Cal.App.3d 280, 284.)

“A settlement agreement is simply a contract. The retention of the trial court's jurisdiction to enforce the settlement agreement is no different than allowing a person with a contract [with another party] to sue it for breach. The court is powerless to impose on the parties more restrictive or less restrictive or different terms than those contained in their settlement agreement.”  Hernandez v. Board of Education (2004) 126 Cal.App.4th 1161, 1176, citation omitted.)  Nothing in section 664.6 authorizes a judge to create the material terms of a settlement, as opposed to deciding what terms the parties themselves have previously agreed upon.  (Ibid.).   The court simply has reserved the power to enforce, according to its terms, the contract the parties negotiated amongst themselves. (Ibid.) 

“The fundamental goal of contractual interpretation is to give effect to the mutual intention of the parties.”   (Morey v. Vannucci (1998) 64 Cal.App.4th 904, 912).   “The mutual intention to which the courts give effect is determined by objective manifestations of the parties' intent, including the words used in the agreement, as well as extrinsic evidence of such objective matters as the surrounding circumstances under which the parties negotiated or entered into the contract; the object, nature and subject matter of the contract; and the subsequent conduct of the parties.” (Ibid.)

Analysis must start with the May 9, 2022 settlement agreement.  It states, “the parties agree to sell the property at 419 Maryland [(“419”)], and the proceeds will be equally shared after the sale.”  The phrase “the parties agree to sell” shows that the defendant and plaintiff intended that they both would enter into a separate agreement, together as sellers, to sell 419, and that they would evenly share the proceeds from that sale. The settlement agreement does not mention taxes; it also does not state that only one party would bear responsibility for paying taxes.  Because taxes were not discussed, and because defendant and plaintiff agreed to equally share the proceeds, this strongly suggests that the mutual intention of the parties was that each would be responsible for paying taxes resulting from their respective receipt of the proceeds. 

Next, the weight of the credible evidence spanning the two years prior to the instant dispute shows the parties intended to sell the instant property together, share the proceeds, and indeed be responsible for their own taxes.  Among other things:

• Less than two months after the settlement agreement, plaintiff and her attorney  approached Mr. Levitz to be the broker to list and sell 419.
• Mr. Levitz represented both defendant and plaintiff as his clients regarding the listing and sale of 419.
• Three months after the settlement agreement, plaintiff signed an addendum, drafted

            at her request and signed under the advice of counsel, wherein she agreed:

• • She would equally share the title and escrow charges (50/50).
  • She would equally share the costs to repair the property before sale (50/50).
  • She would accept net proceeds of a future sale of 419 to be dispersed by  title and escrow to plaintiff directly at the close of escrow (50/50).

• • “Macias and Gardner [Plaintiff] are responsible for their own individual taxes.”
• Plaintiff entered into a listing agreement as a seller to sell 419 in 2024.
• Plaintiff participated, herself and through her attorney, in negotiations and entered  into a sale agreement as a seller to sell 419 in 2024.
• At no point prior to the signing of the sale agreement or entering escrow did plaintiff or her counsel require that defendant be solely responsible for his own and plaintiff’s tax liabilities.

The court is not persuaded by plaintiff’s argument or asserted evidence to the contrary.

Accordingly, the motion to enforce the settlement agreement is granted.  The parties shall take immediate steps to jointly sell 419 with each party bearing responsibility for the tax liability, including capital gains, for proceeds received upon sale. 

4.         PR0000440                 In the Matter of Katherine Rupert Kinaman

       The motion to relieve counsel is continued to September 13, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. in Dept. 6 so that deficiencies in service to the client to be corrected.  There is insufficient information to allow the court to determine that the client was served at her most recent address; further, the proof of service reflects that the client was served at a Kelseyville address but the notice of motion and motion to be relieved as counsel (MC-051) was addressed to the client at a Clear Lake address. The motion should also include a notice of the court’s tentative ruling system.  No appearances are required.

On the court’s own motion, the demurrer and motion to strike are continued to 8-2-24 at 10:00 a.m. in Dept. 6.

2. CU21-085681 CHRISTINA WAICZIS vs. WELK RESORTS NORTHSTAR, LLC

Defendant’s motion for summary judgment is denied.

The photographs of the scene of the fall, taken the following day by plaintiff’s daughter, and featured in defendant’s Points & Authorities, establish a triable issue of fact that gross negligence exists.  The court of course disregards the cones and stanchions per Evidence Code 1151 and because they weren’t there on the day of the accident.  The photos show a shin-high dark colored object against a dark-colored floor, with nothing at eye level to warn pedestrians of the tripping hazard and nothing to stop people from running into it.  Unlike the transitory, “one-off” hazard in Willhide-Michiulis v. Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, LLC (2018) 25 Cal.App.5th 344, cited by defendant, this was a permanent, stationary, and ongoing hazard that any employee or supervisor could see—and ameliorate--at any time.  The failure to take any steps to prevent people from walking into it could allow a jury to find a ‘want of even scant care’ or ‘an extreme departure from the ordinary standard of conduct.’ Rosencrans v. Dover Images, Ltd. (2011) 192 Cal.App.4th 1072, 1082.  Because a jury could find that the defendant was grossly negligent, the liability waiver is inapplicable, as against public policy.  City of Santa Barbara v. Superior Court (2007) 41 Cal.4th 747.

Defendant’s objections to the Moore declaration are overruled. The witness’ area of expertise is appropriate to render an opinion of whether a condition is a trip and fall hazard; defendant’s arguments go to the weight of the evidence, not admissibility.

 The court notes the opposition was not filed timely in compliance with the parties’ stipulation.  The court also notes that the defendant’s separate statement did not comply with the formatting requirements of CRC 3.1350(h).  Counsel shall each pay sanctions in the amount of $50 to the Nevada County Law Library.

3. CU21-085860 GEORGE DEVER et al vs. DANIEL J CROUCH et al

The court declines to amend the judgment.  CCP 473(a)(1) authorizes the amendment of a “pleading or proceeding” “by correcting a mistake in the name of a party.”  A judgment is not a pleading.  The Affidavit of Identity procedure (CCP 680.135) provides a remedy when an error is discovered in the name of a defendant post-judgment.  The Affidavit of Identity filed 5-14-24 does not state the basis for counsel’s assertion that Daniel T and Daniel J Crouch are the same person.  The attached printout has no reference to Daniel J. Crouch.  However, the court also takes note of the complaint filed in this case, and more importantly, the notarized secured promissory note attached to the complaint, in which the borrower is referred to as Daniel J Crouch in the first paragraph but Daniel T Crouch at the signature line; the notary acknowledgement states that the signer of the document was Daniel T Crouch.  The court therefore finds that:  “AKA Daniel T. Crouch” may be properly added to the name of the judgment debtor on a Writ or Abstract of Judgment issued in this case.

4. CU21-085893 TOM AMESBURY et al vs. BARBARA HEGER et al

The Petition to Compel Arbitration is granted.  CCP 1281.6 provides the sole method for the court to select an arbitrator if the parties are unable to agree.  The statute does not authorize the court to delegate the selection process to a third party organization. As defendant has not provided any proposed arbitrators, this matter is continued to July 26, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. 6.  Defendant shall file and serve a list of proposed arbitrators by July 19, 2024.  The court will thereafter issue a list of five names, as provided by CCP 1281.6.

6-21-2024 Civil Law & Motion Tentative Rulings

1. CL0000572    Gerry Reis v. Roger Reis

Defendant’s demurrer is sustained with leave to amend.  Defendant argues that the complaint fails to state a cause of action and is uncertain.  The court agrees.  A civil complaint must state the facts upon which the claims are based.  This complaint does not include any such allegations.  Plaintiff has checked box 10(a) indicating that a motor vehicle cause of action is attached, but has instead attached a “general negligence” cause of action.  The general negligence cause of action does not say who did something wrong, what that person did wrong, and how that caused harm to plaintiff.  The demurrer is sustained with leave to amend.  Plaintiff may file an amended complaint within 20 days of service of the order after hearing, to correct the problems outlined here.  Appearances are required.

2. CL0000939    Discover Bank v. Sharon Deal

The motion to relieve counsel is granted upon proof of service of the order upon the client.  Counsel shall prepare an appropriate order listing all future court dates.  No appearances are required.

Defendants’ motion for summary judgment is continued until July 26, 2024 at 10:00 a.m.   No appearances are required.

4. CU0000562    Don Zeppenfeld, et al. v. Martin Reilley, et al.

Defendants’ motion for reconsideration is continued until August 2, 2024 at 10:00 a.m.  Additional briefing is requested to address this question:  Is the instant lawsuit an “enforcement proceeding” for purposes of Code of Civil Procedure section 683.160?  Be sure to comment on the relevance, if any, of Code of Civil Procedure section 681.010.  Both parties’ briefs of no more than 5 pages shall be submitted by July 12, 2024 at noon.  No appearances are required.     

5. CU0000569    Susan Foote vs. Jenny Renee Hunter Kaeding

Defendant’s motion to continue trial is granted, in part.  Defendant has shown good cause for solely a brief continuance to complete discovery.  Trial is continued to September 3, 2024 at 9:00 a.m.; pretrial conference is continued to August 23, 2024 at 11:00 a.m.; mandatory settlement conference is continued until August 12, 2024 at 10:00a.m.

6. CU0001293    Minta Mae Stovall vs. WMPD LLC, et al.

Plaintiff’s motion for trial preference is granted. Per Code of Civil Procedure section 36(f), the trial must be set within 120 days of the order granting preference. The trial and associated dates will be set at the June 24, 2024 case management conference.

The motion of defendants Alderson and WMPD to quash service of summons is denied.

As a preliminary matter, the court need not resolve plaintiff’s June 7, 2024 evidentiary objections to the Alderson declaration for purposes of this motion.  The court sustains plaintiff’s June 7, 2024 objections to MMSP/Alderson’s request for judicial notice.

Alderson/WMPD first argue that they were exempt from service of process during Alderson’s court appearance in California due to the application of the “Immunity Rule.”  The court disagrees.  The Immunity Rule no longer applies under current law. See Severn v. Adidas Sportschuhfabriken, 33 Cal.App.3d 754, 762 (1973); Silverman v. Superior Ct., 203 Cal.App.3d 145, 149 (1988).  In addition, Alderson did not appear at the courthouse voluntarily, but to surrender on an arrest warrant.  Under these facts, the Immunity Rule would not apply even if the court were inclined to revive it. 

Next, Anderson/WMPD argue that this court lacks personal jurisdiction because moving parties do not have sufficient minimum contacts with the state.  The court is not persuaded. “A court may exercise specific jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant only if: (1) the defendant has purposefully availed himself or herself of the forum benefits; (2) the controversy is related to or arises out of [the] defendant's contacts with the forum; and (3) the assertion of personal jurisdiction would comport with fair play and substantial justice.”  Pavlovich v. Superior Ct., 29 Cal.4th 262, 269 (2002) (citations and internal quotations omitted).  Here, the evidence presented, including the verified complaint, sufficiently establishes that Anderson/WMPD have purposely availed themselves of this forum’s benefits by taking an interest in, conducting transactions pertaining to, and commencing foreclosure proceedings on a real property located in this forum.  See Plaintiff Op, at 9:27-10:20.

Anderson/WMPD also suggest that a forum selection clause compels that this matter be litigated in the state of Nevada.  Not so.  “[A] party may move to stay or dismiss the action on the ground of inconvenient forum.”  Miller-Leigh LLC v. Henson (2007) 152 Cal.App.4th 1143, 1150. The application of a forum selection clause is not properly before the court at this time for resolution and is irrelevant to the question of personal jurisdiction.

In light of the court’s orders granting trial preference and the resulting accelerated trial timeline, moving defendants shall file their answer/responsive pleading by July 1, 2024.

7. CU21-085655 Nicholas Findley vs. Christopher Anderson, et al.

Defendants/cross-complainants’ demurrer and motion to strike are continued until July 5, 2024 at 10:00 a.m.

6-14-24 Civil Law & Motion Tentative Rulings

1. CU0000634    Carla Marie Vieira vs. Cal. Department of Transportation, et al.

The June 14, 2024 hearing is continued from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Dept. 6.  No appearances are required.

Defendant California Department of Transportation’s (DOT) motions for summary judgment against Richard Knolle and Andrea Janecek, in their individual capacities, are denied.   

The applicable law for this matter is well summarized in Simms v. Bear Valley Community Healthcare District (2022) 80 Cal.App.5th 391: 

A claim for personal injury against a public entity, such as Simms's medical malpractice claim, generally must be presented to the public entity “not later than six months after the accrual of the cause of action.” ([Government Code] § 911.2, subd. (a).)  … “ ‘[F]ailure to timely present a claim for money or damages to a public entity bars a plaintiff from filing a lawsuit against that entity.’ ” (City of Stockton v. Superior Court (2007) 42 Cal.4th 730, 738, 68 Cal.Rptr.3d 295, 171 P.3d 20; § 945.4 [with limited exceptions, “no suit for money or damages may be brought against a public entity ... until a written claim therefor has been presented to the public entity and has been acted upon by the board, or has been deemed to have been rejected by the board”].)

A claim has been presented to the public entity when the public entity “receives a document which contains the information required by section 910 and is signed by the claimant....” (Phillips [v. Desert Hosp. Dist. (1989) 49 Cal.3d 699, 707], 263 Cal.Rptr. 119, 780 P.2d 349; see § 910.2 [signature requirement].) The information required by section 910 includes the “date, place, and other circumstances of the occurrence or transaction which gave rise to the claim asserted” and “[a] general description of the ... injury, damage or loss incurred so far as it may be known at the time of presentation of the claim.” (§ 910, subds. (c), (d).) Where the claimant seeks less than $10,000, the claim must also state “the amount claimed,” including an estimate of any prospective damages, “together with the basis of computation of the amount claimed.” (Id., subd. (f).) Where the amount sought exceeds $10,000, “no dollar amount shall be included in the claim,” but the claim “shall indicate whether the claim would be a limited civil case.” (Ibid.) “[A] claim need not contain the detail and specificity required of a pleading, but need only ‘fairly describe what [the] entity is alleged to have done.’ ” (Stockett [v. Association of Cal. Water Agencies Joint Powers Ins. Authority (2004) 34 Cal.4th 441, 446], 20 Cal.Rptr.3d 176, 99 P.3d 500.) Moreover, “ ‘[w]here there has been an attempt to comply [with the claims statute] but the compliance is defective, the test of substantial compliance controls.’ ” (Wood v. Riverside General Hospital (1994) 25 Cal.App.4th 1113, 1118, 31 Cal.Rptr.2d 8 (Wood).) “Substantial compliance contemplates that there is at least some compliance with all of the statutory requirements.” (Del Real v. City of Riverside (2002) 95 Cal.App.4th 761, 769, 115 Cal.Rptr.2d 705 (Del Real).)

…

There is a recognized and important distinction, however, between a claim that is inadequate because it does not substantially comply with the requirements of section 910 and a document that is not a claim at all. “A claim that fails to substantially comply with sections 910 and 910.2 may still be considered a ‘claim as presented’ if it puts the public entity on notice both that the claimant is attempting to file a valid claim and that litigation will result if the matter is not resolved.” (Del Real, supra, 95 Cal.App.4th at p. 769, 115 Cal.Rptr.2d 705; see § 910.8 [requirement that public entity give notice “[i]f ... a claim as presented fails to comply substantially” with statutory requirements].) A “claim as presented” is also sometimes called a “trigger-claim” because its receipt by a public entity “triggers a duty by the public entity to notify the potential claimant of the claim's insufficiency stating, with particularity, the defects or omissions.” (Green v. State Center Community College Dist. (1995) 34 Cal.App.4th 1348, 1358, 1354, 41 Cal.Rptr.2d 140 (Green); see § 910.8 [requiring notice of insufficiency of claim]; see also § 911.3, subd. (a) [notice requirement for claims returned as untimely].) “If the public entity fails to send this notice, it waives any defenses as to the sufficiency of the claim based upon a defect or omission.” (Green, supra, 34 Cal.App.4th at p. 1358, 41 Cal.Rptr.2d 140; see § 911 [waiver by failure to give notice of insufficiency]; see also § 911.3, subd. (b) [waiver by failure to give notice of untimeliness].)

(Simms, supra, 80 Cal.App.5th at 399–401.)

At bar, the claim for $5 million dollars against the state, filed by an attorney on behalf of the decedent Judith Knolle and her estate, included both damages personal to the deceased, and damages personal to the survivors of the deceased.  The “burial and funeral expenses; pain and suffering” are claims by the estate of the deceased.  “[C]ompensation for the loss of the deceased’s companionship and support” can only be claimed by survivor(s) of the deceased.  The court need not decide whether sufficient information was disclosed on the face of the filed claim to reasonably enable California DOT to make an adequate investigation of the merits of the claim and to settle it without the expense of a lawsuit, had it desired. The court assumes, arguendo, that there was not substantial compliance.  That said, the court concludes nevertheless that this was a claim as presented or trigger claim.  DOT was placed on notice that the estate and  very likely survivors of the decedent were attempting to file a valid claim and that litigation would  result if the matter was not resolved.  This in turn triggered a duty by DOT to notify the potential claimant of the claim's insufficiency stating, with particularity, the defects or omissions.  That was not done here.  Where, as here, the public entity fails to send this notice, it waives any defenses as to the sufficiency of the claim based upon a defect or omission under Government Code section 911.

Summary judgment is denied.

2. CU0000569   Susan Foote v. Jenny Kaeding                                                                     

The June 14, 2024 hearing is continued from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Dept. 6.  No appearances are required.

Defendant’s motion to expunge the lis pendens is granted.

Pursuant to Section 405.20 of the Code of Civil Procedure, “[a] party to an action who asserts a real property claim may record a notice of pendency of action [lis pendens], in which that real property claim is alleged.”  The effect of a lis pendens “is that anyone acquiring an interest in the property after the action was filed will be bound by the judgment.”  BGJ Assocs., LLC v. Superior Court (1999) 75 Cal.App.4th 952, 966.  “Once a lis pendens is filed, it clouds the title and effectively prevents the property’s transfer until the litigation is resolved or the lis pendens is expunged.”  Id. at 967; see also Urez Corp. v. Superior Court (1987) 190 Cal.App.3d 1141.

A court shall order that the lis pendens be expunged if (1) “the court finds that the pleading on which the notice is based does not contain a real property claim”; or (2) “the court finds that the claimant has not established by a preponderance of the evidence the probably validity of the real property claim.” Code of Civil Proc. § 405.31, 405.32.) The burden is on the party opposing the expungement motion to establish the existence of a real property claim and its probable validity.  See Code of Civ. Proc.  §§ 405.30, 405.32; Howard S. Wright Const. Co. v. Superior Court, (2003) 106 Cal.App.4th 314, 319.)

The court need not resolve defendant’s objections to the declaration of plaintiff except as noted.  For purposes of this motion, the court considers paras 1-4 of plaintiff’s declaration.  The court sustains the objection to para. 5 of plaintiff’s declaration including the unsworn e-mails of Brandon Glasson, Travis Foote, and Christina Lopez attached thereto.  These e-mails do not constitute admissible evidence under penalty of perjury.  The court need not resolve the remaining objections by defendant.  The court does not consider argument of counsel as evidence and does not consider evidence other than statements submitted under penalty of perjury.

On the record submitted, the court finds that the complaint includes two real property claims to quiet title and for partition.  That said, the court finds that plaintiff has not established by a preponderance of credible evidence the probable validity of the real property claims.  The lis pendens is ordered expunged.

By law “[t]he court shall direct that the party prevailing [on the motion] . . . be awarded reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of making or opposing the motion.”  The reasonable billing rate for counsel is fixed at $350.00 per hour.  Based thereon, the court awards fees for 9 hours in the amount of $3,150.00 and costs in the amount of $60.00 (filing fee).  To the extent that defendant seeks recovery of $751.18 (“research costs”), she must provide legal authority for the same. 

3. CU19-083787 Michael Hayward Vs. Eva Krivak-Tetley

The June 14, 2024 hearing is continued from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Dept. 6.  No appearances are required.

The motion to tax costs is denied.  The declaration in opposition establishes that the cost in question is the cost of a copy of the deposition of a co-defendant, which is a reasonably necessary litigation expense.  See Code Civ. Proc. § 1033.5.

1. CL0000939     Discover Bank vs. Sharon Deal

Appearances are required.  The court is favorably inclined to grant the motion to relieve counsel. 

2. CL0000944     U.S. Bank National Association vs. Rocky Stone

Dropped from the calendar.  A request for dismissal has been filed.

3. CU0000663    Brian Kelley, et al. vs. Rebecca Aycock, et al.

The motion for leave to file the amended complaint is granted.  The motion was filed reasonably soon after the 10 April 2024 depositions wherein plaintiff discovered evidence to support pleading additional theories of liability against new defendants.  Any challenges to the sufficiency of claims for punitive damages must be addressed by separate motion.  The trial date and associated dates are vacated.  A case management conference is set for 1 July 2024 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. 6.  The parties shall file case management statements as required and plaintiff shall have the new defendants served as soon as possible to avoid any further delays.  No appearances are required.

4. CU0000795    Mark G. Jones vs. Barbara L. Reamer, et al.

The motion to consolidate and the motion for a stay are denied.  The motion for reclassification is denied without prejudice. 

In the second amended complaint for the instant case, plaintiff Jones alleges wrongful foreclosure in connection with three properties (the Christie Lane property and the Copenhagen Drive properties) against, among others, three trustee sale purchasers of the properties: Sierra Asset Investors, SPFF, and Veritas Capital (the “trustee sale bidders”).  In case CL0001025, Sierra Asset Investors seeks to evict defendant Jones from the Christie Lane property. 

As a preliminary matter, plaintiff Jones erroneously filed his motion to consolidate in the unlawful detainer case.  Notice should have been given to all parties in both cases, but the motion itself should have been filed in the instant case, which was the first in time and is the low-number case.  See Rules of Court, Rule 3.350.

Turning to the merits, “Code of Civil Procedure section 1048 grants discretion to the trial courts to consolidate actions involving common questions of law or fact.”  Todd-Stenberg v. Dalkon Shield Claimants Trust (1996) 48 Cal.App.4th 976, 978.   At bar, the trustee sale bidders are named as defendants in counts four (injunction) and thirteen (quiet title), respectively.  Other than alleging that the trustee sale bidders purchased the properties at issue, the SAC includes the following allegation regarding these defendants: “they may have also wrongfully and/or unlawfully participated in the wrongful and illegal Trustee’s Sale of Plaintiff’s Property at foreclosure.”  SAC para. 95 (italics supplied).   All three defendants have been served, a default has been entered as to SPFF, and there presently is no answer or other responsive pleading from Sierra Asset Investors or Veritas Capital.

On this record, the pleadings in the wrongful foreclosure action do not frame any material or significant issue of law or fact in common with the issues in the unlawful detainer action.  The unlawful detainer action has one overriding issue:  whether Jones has a right to possession of the property.  Contrary to the suggestion of Jones, both cases, as presently pled, do not involve complex issues regarding the determination of title.  “In unlawful detainer proceedings, ordinarily the only triable issue is the right to possession of the disputed premises, along with incidental damages resulting from the unlawful detention.”  Coyne v. De Leo (2018) 26 Cal.App.5th 801, 817; see, e.g., High v. Cavanaugh (1962) 205 Cal.App.2d 495, 498; Cheney v. Trauzettel (1937) 9 Cal.2d 158, 159.  More specifically, a plaintiff-purchaser in an unlawful detainer action need prove only that the sale was in compliance with Civil Code section 2924 and that they thereafter duly perfected title. See Stephens, Partain & Cunningham v Hollis (1987) 196 Cal.App.3d 948, 952.  “‘Matters affecting the validity of the trust deed or primary obligation itself, or other basic defects in the plaintiff's title, are neither properly raised in this summary proceeding for possession …, nor are they concluded by the judgment.’” MCA, Inc. v. Universal Diversified Enterprises Corp. (1972) 27 Cal.App.3d 170, 176, quoting, Cheney, 9 Cal.2d at 160.

The request for a stay is denied for similar reasons.  No good cause has been demonstrated why the unlawful detainer proceedings herein must or should be held in abeyance pending resolution of the wrongful foreclosure action.  Plaintiff in the unlawful detainer action has a right to invoke use of summary unlawful detainer proceedings.  See Coyne, 26 Cal.App.5th at 817 (“The purpose of the unlawful detainer statutes is to provide the landlord with a summary, expeditious way of getting back his property when a tenant fails to pay the rent or refuses to vacate the premises at the end of his tenancy.”); see Vasey v. California Dance Co. (1977) 70 Cal.App.3d 742, 746.  General issues related to the validity of title are not properly part of the unlawful detainer action and, as necessary, can be resolved as part of the wrongful foreclosure action.  A stay, under the circumstances presented, is not warranted. 

 The motion for reclassification of the unlawful detainer case pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 403.040 is denied without prejudice.  That issue must be presented to and decided by the assigned judge in the unlawful detainer matter.    

5. CU0000944    Jaime Lopez vs. Tahoe Preservation Associates LP, et al.

Plaintiff’s motion to compel further responses to interrogatories is granted with the exception of a further response by Care Housing GP LLC as to Interrogatory 3.2.  Plaintiff’s motion to compel production of documents is granted.  Plaintiff’s motion to deem requests for admissions as admitted is granted (unless responses without objections are produced prior to the hearing).  

The objection to a further response to Interrogatory 3.2 as to Care Housing GP LLC is well founded.  That interrogatory has been answered. 

Defendants’ remaining objections to all other discovery requests lack merit.  The discovery propounded seeks relevant information and is not overbroad, burdensome or oppressive, especially given the election by defendants to raise 25 different defenses in each answer.

Sanctions are awarded to plaintiff in the amount of $3,150.00.  Defendants’ request for sanctions is denied. 

6. CU21-085797  Koslin and Koslin Construction, Inc. vs. GV Development, LLC

The motions for summary adjudication by defendant GV Development Group, LLC (GVD) and defendant Smith are denied. 

Standard

A defendant moving for summary judgment based on the affirmative defense of the statute of limitations carries its burden by presenting evidence establishing that the plaintiff’s claim is time barred; it then falls to plaintiff to counter with evidence creating a dispute about a fact relevant to that defense, that is, plaintiff must submit evidence that would allow a reasonable trier of fact to find in plaintiff’s favor on the statute of limitations issue.  See Genisman v. Carley (2018) 29 Cal.App.5th 45, 49.

Second Cause of Action for Breach of the Confidential Agreement against Defendants Smith and GVD, Third Cause of Action For Breach of the Construction Agreement against Defendant GVD and Third Cause of Action for Breach of Agreements to Pay Change Orders against Defendant GVD

Defendant GVD argues that both the second and third causes of action are time barred and that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.  Defendant Smith argues that the second cause of action is time barred.  Specifically, they argue the statute of limitations for these claims accrued no later than December 2015--pointing to various emails in the second half of 2015 to suggest that Smith/GVD breached the agreements at that time—and hence the claims were time barred as of December 2019.  See Exhibits C-I to GVD’s 1/11/24 Separately Bound Evidence.   The court is not persuaded.

The instant action was filed in September 2021.  An action for breach of a written contract must be filed within four years of the breach.  See Code of Civil Procedure section 337(a).  As an initial matter, defendants appear to have failed to meet their burden of establishing a breach or repudiation in 2015 based on the e-mails presented.  The emails, standing alone, are subject to various interpretations/inferences and suggest the existence of a material dispute as to whether there was a breach or repudiation in 2015.  There is certainly no definitive statement or indication that defendants had breached or repudiated the agreements. See Exhibits C-I to GVD’s 1/11/24 Separately Bound Evidence.  Assuming defendants met their burden, there are sufficient disputed facts to defeat summary adjudication as to this issue. The evidence presented by plaintiff, in combination with the e-mails, creates a material dispute as to whether there was a definitive breach or repudiation in 2015.  See Koslin Decl. paras. 58-60, 61-73, Exs. 2 and 5.  Among other things, Koslin had asked via email in 2015 that unpaid invoices be credited to his capital account, which, per the terms of the confidential agreement, he could do at his sole discretion.   See Exhibits H and B to GVD’s 1/11/24 Separately Bound Evidence.  There is evidence that Koslin received a partial payment in January 2019.  See Exhibit 5 to Koslin Decl.   “A few months before the action was filed in 2021, Smith [told Koslin] ‘We will be paid all of our money back as soon as these three houses sell.’ [referring to certain lots that were substantially complete.]” Koslin Decl., para 47.  A reasonable juror could conclude, from all of the e-mails as well as the recollections of Koslin, that there was no definitive breach or repudiation in 2015.  Lastly, “when there are ongoing contractual obligations the plaintiff may elect to rely on the contract despite a breach, and the statute of limitations does not begin to run until the plaintiff has elected to treat the breach as terminating the contract.”  Romano v. Rockwell Internat., Inc. (1996) 14 Cal.4th 479, 489.  A reasonable trier of fact could conclude that this case involved an interrelated operating agreement, confidential agreement and construction contract and that plaintiff did not make an election to treat a breach by defendants as terminating the contract until 2021.  See Koslin Decl. paras 45- 46 and Exhibit 2. 

Fourth Cause of Action for Fraud against Defendant Smith

Defendants argue that this claim arose in 2011, is now time-barred, and that they are entitled to judgment as a matter of law.   The court is not persuaded.  

As a preliminary matter, GVD is not named in this cause of action (although the prayer for relief references GVD).  GVD lacks standing to seek summary adjudication of this claim and its motion is denied on that basis alone. 

Turning to the merits, in cases of fraud, the three year statute of limitations commences when the plaintiff discovers the injury.  See Code of Civil Procedure section 338(d). (In an action “on the ground of fraud”, “The cause of action in that case is not deemed to have accrued until the discovery, by the aggrieved party, of the facts constituting the fraud ….”).

At bar, the court assumes arguendo that both defendants have standing to seek summary adjudication of this claim and that both defendants met their burden of presenting evidence that plaintiff’s claim is time-barred by pointing to plaintiff’s complaint which alleges that Smith’s actions took place in 2011, ten years before the complaint was filed.  See Exhibit A, para 61 to 1/11/24 GVD’s Separately Bound Evidence.  That said, plaintiff has met his burden of presenting evidence that would allow a trier of fact to find that the claim is not time-barred.  Koslin declares:  “It was not until Smith wrote a letter on August 12, 2021, that I discovered that he had in fact reduced my capital account by $150,000 and that distributions were being calculated since 2011 based on that reduction in my capital account.”  Koslin Decl., para 48.  This statement in Koslin’s declaration is sufficient to raise a triable issue of fact that that fraud was undiscovered until 2021 and that the action did not accrue until that date. 

The motions are denied in their entirety.

5. P11-15177      In the Matter of PHILLIP T. KRULISKY

The June 14, 2024 hearing is continued from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Dept. 6. No appearances are required.

The June 14, 2024 hearing is continued from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Dept. 6. No appearances are required.  The conservatorship shall continue. The conservatorship still appears to be warranted and the conservator is acting in the best interests of the conservatee regarding the conservatee's placement, quality of care, including physical and mental treatment, and finances.  The next biennial review is set for May 29, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. 6.  The court investigation fee is waived.

The June 14, 2024 hearing is continued from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Dept. 6.  No appearance is required.  This matter was continued from May 10, 2024 because the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) filed a request for special notice and they were not served.  There is still no proof of service on FTB in the court file.  In addition, it is not readily apparent that sale and equal division of the property at issue among the six children as requested by petitioner is consistent with the intentions of the decedent.  One plausible outcome could involve the sale of the property with distribution of half the proceeds to Richard Hollingshead and distribution of the remaining proceeds equally among the other five children.  Any party that has a position regarding the petition, including an opposition to the same, must file and serve their response/opposition by no later than July 12, 2024.  The moving part shall prepare an order after hearing that incorporates this ruling and serve the same on all interested parties with proof of service of the same.  This matter is continued to July 26, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. 6.

The June 14, 2024 hearing is continued from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Dept. 6.  No appearances are required. The will attached to the petition, described as being five pages long, is still missing pages 3 and 4, as previously noted in connection with the May 10 hearing.  Petitioner Lewis shall address this issue.  In addition, objector Andes has filed an objection to the will contesting its validity.  Once a contestant has filed an objection, a summons must be issued and served, with a copy of the objection, on the persons required by Probate Code §8110 to be served with notice of hearing of a petition for administration of the decedent’s estate. The summons must be issued and served as provided in Code of Civil Procedure § 412.10 et seq. and § 413.10 et seq. The summons must contain a direction that the persons summoned file a written pleading with the court in response to the contest within 30 days after service of the summons.  See Probate Code § 8250(a). See also Probate Code §8004(b) (procedure for will contest set forth in Probate Code §8250 et seq.).  Contestant Andes shall address these issues prior to the next hearing.  If contestant objects to the petition to administer the estate by Lewis, any objection to that specific request shall be filed and served no later than July 19, 2024.  The hearing is continued to July 26, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. 6.

6-7-2024 Probate Tentative Rulings

1. PR0000188     In the Matter of Todd Alan Goodin

The petition by conservatee counsel for attorney’s fees is granted as prayed, chargeable to the conservatee’s estate.  Counsel for conservatee is relieved.  No appearances are required.

2. PR0000232     In the Matter of Estate of Scott Nebenzahl

Appearances are required by petitioner Welborn and creditor Duffer.  The court has received supplemental briefing from the creditor including declarations from petitioner and counsel for petitioner and creditor. 

By no later than 28 June 2024, petitioner and creditor shall provide the court with additional declarations that address the following questions:   (1) with respect to every document served by mail on the surviving spouse, was that item returned to the sender as undeliverable for any reason?  (2) how recently has any attempt been made to verify the current whereabouts of the surviving spouse including whether she still resides at Frosty Lane?

The court will issue an order to show cause to the surviving spouse to file an inventory and appraisal or explain why the information should not be provided pursuant to Probate Code section 11442 as it appears that apportionment of the debt of the decedent is potentially required pursuant to Probate Code section 11444(b) and that allocation would be affected by characterization and value of separate property owned by the surviving spouse and community property not administered in the estate.  Petitioner and creditor shall prepare an appropriate draft order. 

On the current record, the court remains concerned that the surviving spouse does not have actual or constructive notice of the petition for final distribution including the significant request for allocation of debt.  As such, petitioner and creditor are directed to personally serve copies of all relevant documents in connection with the hearing on the surviving spouse including, without limitation, the petitions, order to show cause, all briefing and a new notice of hearing.

The hearing on the petition for final distribution including allocation of debt to the surviving spouse is continued until 6 September 2024 to provide the parties with adequate time to comply. 

3. PR0000407     Conservatorship of Mattie Sommers

The petition by conservatee counsel for attorney’s fees is granted as prayed, chargeable to the county.  Counsel for conservatee is relieved.  No appearances are required.

11.  PR0000519    In the Matter of David L. Swetman

The spousal property petition is continued to 7-12-24 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. 6.

A spousal property petition allows for the decedent’s one-half share of the community property to pass to the surviving spouse without estate administration.  See Prob. Code 13650, et seq. 

At bar, the petition first requests that a check made out “Estate of David Swetman” pass to decedent’s spouse.  The explanation in the amended petition reveals that this check is an inheritance received by the decedent, which is the separate property of the decedent, not community property.  As such, this cannot be transferred via a spousal property petition.

 The other piece of property at issue is real estate.  There is presently insufficient information provided to determine whether this is community property which can be transferred by this procedure.  In addition, the petition contains other deficiencies:  Item 3 is left blank.  Item 4(c) is not filled out.  There is no box checked in item 7(a).  Item 8 is not filled out.  There is no notice of hearing with proof of service.

Petitioner shall remedy all of these items prior to the continued hearing.
