Civil - Unlimited  Eminent domain/Inverse condemnation Motion Hearing (Civil) 37-2022-00025224-CU-EI-CTL SIDDELL VS CITY OF SAN DIEGO [IMAGED] CAUSAL DOCUMENT/DATE FILED:

Hearing on bifurcated issue of liability on the second cause of action for inverse condemnation.

Pursuant to the parties' stipulation, and court order, Plaintiff's opening brief was due to be filed 60 days prior to this hearing [ROA 92]. A review of the court file shows that Plaintiff's opening brief was filed on February 5, 2024, less than 60 days prior to this hearing. Defendant City of San Diego has filed an objection to Plaintiff's late filing. The City has not filed a substantive response.

Considering Plaintiff's counsel's explanation for Plaintiff's untimely filing, the court exercises its discretion in favor of a hearing on the merits of Plaintiff's remaining claims. Therefore, the court continues this hearing to June 7, 2024, at 8:30am. Briefing shall be pursuant to the parties' stipulation and court order of September 29, 2023 [ROA 92].

If this tentative ruling is confirmed the Minute Order will be the final order of the court and the parties shall not submit any further order on this motion.

Unless the ruling(s) above indicate that an appearance is necessary, parties who wish to submit, who are satisfied with the above tentative ruling(s), and/or who do not otherwise wish to argue the motion(s) are encouraged to give notice to the Court and each other of their intention not to appear.
