The application is denied.

Plaintiff seeks the return of a vehicle she used during her annulled marriage to defendant. Plaintiff’s declaration filed June 16, 2026, states the vehicle she seeks returned (2020 Ford Expedition) was her primary and exclusive vehicle and she contributed to its payments and maintenance. She declares the Family Court never issued an order requiring the vehicle be returned to Gavin Silva. She describes that on May 12, 2026, Mr. Silva repossessed the vehicle in the parking lot of Scotts Valley High with the couple’s twin sons present.
