Court Order

 

On December 6, 2023, Defendants Kenneth Melrose dba Law Office of Ken J. Melrose, and Law Office of Kenneth J. Melrose, PC (erroneously listed as Law Offices of Kenneth J. Melrose, LLC) (the Melrose Defendants) filed a demurrer to Plaintiff Nathaniel Howard's August 18, 2023, Complaint. The demurrer was set for hearing on April 15, 2024.

On February 23, 2024, the Court denied the Melrose Defendants’ demurrer as moot. Additionally, on March 29, 2024, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint, which mooted the Melrose Defendants’ demurrer, in accordance with the February 23, 2024, order.

The matter is thus not called for hearing. No appearances are necessary.
