Ruling

EJ-110 in the court’s file. Without service of this language, the 30-day period during which a judgment debtor may move to set aside the judgment has not yet been triggered.

Due to these procedural deficiencies, the motion is denied without prejudice.

Also, even if the court could reach the merits, which it cannot, the court observes the declaration of counsel Fisher submitted in support of this motion is signed and dated December 12, 2026, a date approximately six months into the future.

Defendant contends the Conservation Easement unambiguously grants it broad discretionary authority over transfers affecting groundwater-related interests, including SGMA groundwater allocations and that Plaintiff’s claims fail because Defendant merely exercised its expressed rights granted under the Conservation Easement.

On or about January 20, 2026, Defendant demurred as to the First (Breach of Contract), Second (Breach of Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing), Third (Intentional Interference with a Prospective Economic Advantage), Fourth (Unfair
