Courts Tentative Ruling:
No appearance is required under the following conditions:
The Courts records reflect that after the Courts September 20, 2022 order staying Defendants demurrer and motion to strike pending the Supreme Courts decision in Rattagan v. Uber Technologies, and after the Supreme Courts final decision in such case, Defendant still has not rescheduled and re-noticed its demurrer and motion to strike. Thus, if Defendant intends to proceed with its previously-filed demurrer and motion to strike, it shall reserve a new hearing date and serve and file notice of its demurrer within 14 days of this order. If Defendant fails to do so or alternatively answer by such time, Plaintiff may proceed by seeking entry of default.
On the Court's own motion, the Case Management Conference scheduled for 02/27/2026 is continued to 08/28/2026 at 1:30 PM in Department 53 at Hall of Justice.
New Case Management Statements shall be filed by all parties no later than 15 days prior to the hearing pursuant to Local Rule 2.51.
The Clerk shall serve notice of this order on all parties.
