Judge: Armen Tamzarian, Case: 24STCV20286, Date: 2025-01-06 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 24STCV20286    Hearing Date: January 6, 2025    Dept: 52

Non-Appearance Case Review Re: Default Judgment

Plaintiff Daniel Lee requests court judgment by default against defendants Cameron P. Hughes and Classified Cellars, LLC.  Plaintiff’s application establishes it is entitled to default judgment. 

Plaintiff did not, however, request dismissal of defendants Does 1-10.  A request for default judgment must include “[a] dismissal of all parties against whom judgment is not sought or an application for separate judgment against specified parties under Code of Civil Procedure section 579, supported by a showing of grounds for each judgment.”  (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1800(a)(7).)  Plaintiff does not seek default judgment against the Doe defendants.  They therefore must be dismissed.  The court hereby dismisses defendants Does 1-10 without prejudice.   

Plaintiff’s request for default judgment is granted.  The court will sign the proposed judgment plaintiff submitted on form JUD-100.
