DEFENDANT MAULTSBY’S DEMURRER AND MOTION TO TRANSFER

It has come to the Court’s attention that there are eight other unlawful detainer actions pending (at a minimum) involving the same parties and units within the same building. These cases appear to involve the same parties, facts, causes of action, and similar questions of law and fact. Moreover, there is also an action to quiet title involving one of the units which similarly involves the same parties and one of the same units in the same building. There are identical demurrers and other types of motions pending in a number of these cases. 

1. 23STCV21079 [ordered related to lead case 23STCV07896 on 10/6/23]

2. 23STCV21245 [dismissed 2/28/24]

The quiet title action was filed by Linda J. Maultsby through her counsel on April 10, 2023. Defendant Maultsby asserts causes of action for quiet title, fraud, breach of contract and negligence against a variety of defendants. This case concerns a multi-unit property located at 2757 S. Mansfield Ave. Los Angeles. Plaintiff contends that she is the true legal owner of the property even though the property was foreclosed upon and sold. One of the defendants in this matter is Mural Media LLC. 401K.

Mural Media LLC 401K then filed nine unlawful detainer actions against Linda J. Maultsby.

The Court wishes to discuss why Notices of Related Case requesting that the cases listed below be related to 23STCV07896 have not been filed. Numerous courts have decided and will be deciding identical motions with identical parties.
