Motion to Continue
However, the parties are reminded that when leave to amend is granted upon the sustaining of a demurrer, amendments are limited to the issues addressed in the court’s ruling and generally may not include amendments to causes of action not addressed in the ruling or the addition of new causes of action. (See Community Water Coalition v. Santa Cruz County Local Agency Formation Com. (2011) 200 Cal.App.4th 1317, 1329 [“It is the rule that when a trial court sustains a demurrer with leave to amend, the scope of the grant of leave is ordinarily a limited one. It gives the pleader an opportunity to cure the defects in the particular causes of action to which the demurrer was sustained, but that is all.”].)

3 Habibi vs. Motion to Continue Yang-Davies Plaintiff Ghulam Reza Habibi’s Motion for Continuance is taken OFF CALENDAR as moot. 30-2025- 01471995 Pending Motion
Plaintiff Ghulam Reza Habibi seeks leave to “use another way to serve [the landlords] or allow more time and permission to use substituted service.” (Mot. for Continuance at p. 1:23-26.)
Here, Plaintiff only seeks permission to serve by substituted service and does not specify any other method of service for which she seeks leave of the court.
However, “[n]either service by mail nor substituted service requires the plaintiff to obtain permission of the court before using the alternative to personal service.” (Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior University v. Ham (2013) 216 Cal.App.4th 330, 337.)

The court will take the motion off calendar as moot.
