JP Morgan Chase Bank v. Romero, Joseph

This demurrer essentially attempts to turn this into an evidentiary hearing through the guise of judicial notice. The question is whether the operative pleading sufficiently alleges exhaustion of remedies. The court, trial and appellate, accepts all facts alleged in the complaint as true, and draws all reasonable inferences from those facts in favor of the plaintiff. (Kruss v. Booth (2010) 185 Cal.App.4th 699, 713) Making all inferences in favor of Plaintiff, the inference is that paragraph 18 alleges Plaintiff adequately exhausted his remedies.

We simply cannot consider on demurrer any extrinsic arguments from Defendant that he did not exhaust his remedies. Weil & Brown California Practice Guide (The Rutter Group) (2022) Civil Procedure Before Trial, Demurrer, [7:44] No matter how unlikely: The sole issue raised by a general demurrer is whether the facts pleaded state a valid cause of action – not whether they are true. Thus, no matter how unlikely or improbable, plaintiff’s allegations must be accepted as true for the purpose of ruling on demurrer. [Del E.
