9. CU0001544 Caitlin Peters vs. Cara Krpalek, et al.
The October 16, 2025, demurrer by Defendant Jiri Krpalek is removed from calendar. A default had been entered against Defendant as of March 6, 2025, and the instant October 2025 demurrer was filed (improvidently by the Clerk) at the time the default remained in place. An affidavit of unsuccessful service was filed as to the demurrer on October 20, 2025, and there is no proof that the October 2025 motion has been properly served on Plaintiff. On November 7, 2025, the Court, among other things, set aside the default and ordered Defendant to file a responsive pleading. Defendant then filed an answer on November 13, 2025, seemingly asserting summary grounds for a demurrer therein. Again, there is no proof of service demonstrating that the November 2025, answer has been served on Plaintiff.
If Defendant wishes to proceed with a demurrer he must file the same, notice the same for hearing, serve the same and provide proof of service of the same, all prior to March 27, 2026. If no demurrer is properly filed, served and noticed prior thereto, the Court shall conclude that Defendant is waiving his right to demur. Furthermore, Defendant shall serve the answer (if it has not already been served) and provide the Court with proof of service of the same no later than March 27, 2026.
The parties are reminded that they must always ensure that their current address is known to the Court and all parties. Any change of address must be filed and served on all parties.
