motion for trial preference
Case: Segovia v. Yolo County Transportation District Case No. CV2024-0821 Hearing Date: July 16, 2026 Department Thirteen 9:00 a.m.
Plaintiff Ricardo Segovia’s motion for trial preference is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. (Code Civ. Proc., § 36, subds. (d) and (e).) Plaintiff has failed to establish by clear and convincing evidence that he has an illness or condition raising substantial medical doubt of his survival beyond six months. (Code Civ. Proc., § 36, subd. (d).) While plaintiff also requests preference under section 36 (e), he has not shown that “the interests of justice will be served by granting...preference.” (See Azimy decl.)
