Re: Perez, Sabrina Veronica vs. Gomez, Jennifer Case No.: VCL296115 Date: June 15, 2026 Time: 8:30 A.M. Dept. 9-The Honorable Nathan D. Ide Motion: Plaintiff's Motions for (1) Sanctions; (2) Continue Settlement Conference; and (3) Compel Responses to Interrogatories
Tentative Ruling: To dismiss this matter
Facts and Analysis
On May 11, 2026, this Court deemed Plaintiff a vexatious litigant and, following an evidentiary hearing, entered an order requiring Plaintiff to post an undertaking in the amount of $25,000 within 30 days in order to proceed with this action and to enter a prefiling order under section 391.7 requiring approval of the Presiding Judge from filing any new litigation.
"If an order to furnish security is issued, the action is automatically stayed from the time the motion was filed until 10 days after the plaintiff posts the required security." (Code Civ. Proc. Sec. 391.6.) Therefore, this action was stayed pending the posting of the security or expiration of the 30 day period in which to post the security.
The thirty-day period expired June 10, 2026. No security has been posted. Under Code of Civil Procedure section 391.4 "When security that has been ordered furnished is not furnished as ordered, the litigation shall be dismissed as to the defendant for whose benefit it was ordered furnished."
As such, the Court dismisses this matter as to the remaining Defendants Brogan, Pacheco, and Frausto.
