PARK LANE ASSOCIATES, L.P., ET AL Case Number: | | CGC22600509 | Case Title: | | 1100 SACRAMENTO STREET HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION VS. PARK LANE ASSOCIATES, L.P., ET AL | Court Date: | | 2025-10-10 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | MOTION FOR SUMMARY ADJUDICATION Against Plaintiff 1100 Sacramento Street Homeowners Association | Rulings: | | Matter on the Law & Motion / Discovery calendar for Friday, October 10, 2025, Line 4. DEFENDANTS DAVID STEPHENSON, AND STEPHENSON NETWORKS,INC.'s MOTION FOR SUMMARY ADJUDICATION Against Plaintiff 1100 Sacramento Street Homeowners Association.

Defendants David Stephenson and Stephenson Networks, Inc.'s motion for summary adjudication as to the second, third and ninth causes of action in the complaint filed by Plaintiff 1100 Sacramento Street Homeowners Association is denied as to all three causes of action.

Stephenson's objections to the declaration of Christopher Dressel are overruled. There is no authority that the sham affidavit doctrine applies to exclude evidence based on a declaration in another case and, even if there was, the two Dressel declarations can be reconciled. Judicial estoppel is inapplicable because the Homeowners Association did not sponsor the earlier declaration and does not appear to have been a party in the other case, much less having received a judicial benefit from the prior declaration. The remaining objections lack merit. The Dressel declaration creates a triable dispute whether the Homeowners Association is a third party beneficiary of the construction contract, thereby requiring denial of this motion.
