Case Number: 22STCV10702    Hearing Date: August 17, 2022    Dept: 56

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES - CENTRAL DISTRICT

MOVING PARTY: Defendants

Defendants’ Applications of Stacy Dasaro and Howard Steel to be admitted pro hac vice (collectively, the “Applications”) comply with the requirements of California Rules of Court, rule 9.40, except insofar as the Proofs of Service filed with the Applications do not indicate that the State Bar of California was served therewith at its San Francisco Office, as required by that rule, although the Applications state that the required fees were paid to the State Bar and that the State Bar was served with copies of the Applications.  The Court has considered the Applications.  No opposition papers were filed.  Any opposition papers were required to have been filed and served at least nine court days prior to the hearing under California Code of Civil Procedure section 1005, subdivision (b).  If Defendants submit Proofs of Service at or before the time of the hearing showing that the State Bar of California was served at the time of the filing of the Applications, the Court will GRANT the Applications under Sexton v. Superior Court (1997) 58 Cal.App.4th 1403, 1410.

Moving party is ordered to give notice of this ruling.

In consideration of the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, the Court¿strongly¿encourages that appearances on all proceedings, including this one, be made by LACourtConnect if the parties do not submit on the tentative.¿¿If you instead intend to make an appearance in person at Court on this matter, you must send an email by 2 p.m. on the last Court day before the scheduled date of the hearing to¿SMC_DEPT56@lacourt.org¿stating your intention to appear in person.¿ The Court will then inform you by close of business that day of the time your hearing will be held. The time set for the hearing may be at any time during that scheduled hearing day, or it may be necessary to schedule the hearing for another date if the Court is unable to accommodate all personal appearances set on that date.¿ This rule is necessary to ensure that adequate precautions can be taken for proper social distancing. 

Parties who intend to submit on this tentative must send an email to the Court at SMC_DEPT56@lacourt.org as directed by the instructions provided on the court website at www.lacourt.org.  If the department does not receive an email and there are no appearances at the hearing, the motion will be placed off calendar.
