Valdezdealeman, Rosa v. Badovinac, Derek V

7 | P a g e

valuables to Defendants, that Defendants operated a storage facility, and that they had a duty to protect Plaintiffs’ property.

Uncertainty Demurrers for uncertainty are disfavored, and are granted only if the pleading is so incomprehensible that a defendant cannot reasonably respond. (A.J. Fistes Corp. v. GDL Best Contractors, Inc., (2019) 38 Cal. App. 5th 677, 695) The pleading is not incomprehensible. The demurrer is overruled on this ground.

Conversion For the first time in the reply, Defendants argue the conversion cause of action is negated by allegations of theft by third parties. New issues raised in the reply brief are not appropriate. (See Reichardt v. Hoffman (1997) 52 Cal.App.4th 754, 764) Accordingly, the demurrer is overruled on this ground.

Defendants shall file an answer within 20 days’ notice of this order. The Court will prepare the order.
