Emergency Motion For Default Judgement And Relief
Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Friday, November 07, 2025, Line 2. PLAINTIFF JULIANA LOPES DEMASI Emergency Motion For Default Judgement And Relief.
Plaintiff Juliana Lourenco Lopes Demasi's Motion For Default Judgment and Relief is DENIED. This motion is Plaintiff's eighth meritless motion seeking substantially identical relief.
The court repeats its order of September 2, 2025: "Plaintiff is seeking default judgments against Defendants in this action. But, to do so, she must show proper service on each Defendant, obtain a default from the clerk, and then participate in a prove up hearing to obtain the default judgment. Defendant The Regents of the University of California persuasively argues that Plaintiff has yet to even serve it. The record demonstrates that Plaintiff has merely attempted to mail the summons and complaint to it under an erroneous name, which does not comply with the service requirements of the California Code of Civil Procedure. (Summons entered March 19, 2024.) In any event, default judgments are not heard in this department. Defaults and default judgments are handled by the Clerk and Department 505. Plaintiff is directed to San Francisco Superior Court Local Rules (LRSF), rule 6.6."
Plaintiff's objection to Defendant Regents' special appearance is overruled. Plaintiff has yet to establish she has properly served Specially appearing Defendant. Thus, special appearance is appropriate. Specially appearing Defendant Regents' invitation for the court on its own to move for sanctions is declined.
Specially appearing Defendant is asked to prepare a proposed order which repeats verbatim the above text and email it to contestdept302tr@sftc.org prior to the time set for hearing.
