Case Number: 20STCV39447    Hearing Date: August 4, 2022    Dept: 31

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES - CENTRAL DISTRICT

Defendant Toll Bros., Inc.’s (“Defendant”) motion for summary judgment was set for hearing on August 4, 2022.  On July 26, 2022, the parties filed a proposed stipulation to continue the hearing date for Defendant’s motion for summary judgment providing that the parties were discussing and pursuing settlement in advance of the hearing.  Thereafter, on July 29, 2022, Plaintiff attempted to file a Notice of Settlement providing that the entire case has been settled, and that a request for dismissal will be filed within 45 days of this date.  No party has filed anything additional relating to the motion.  The court presumes the motion is moot and not going forward.  The court thus will take the motion for summary judgment off-calendar.

Defendant is ordered to give notice.
