Judge: Joseph Lipner, Case: 22STCV37469, Date: 2024-01-18 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 22STCV37469    Hearing Date: January 18, 2024    Dept: 72

SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES

DEPARTMENT 72

TENTATIVE RULING

Plaintiffs Cem Ismet Guvendiren (“Cem”) and Ali Taylan Guvendiren (“Ali”) (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) move for the appointment of a receiver to take possession of Ismos Investment Corp. (“Ismos”) and the issuance of a preliminary injunction prohibiting Defendants Melih Uskan, Mark Buckley, and Ismos Investment Corp. (collectively, “Defendants”) from committing waste of Ismos’s assets and ordering Defendants to turn over possession of Ismos to the receiver.

The Court DENIES Plaintiffs’ motion without prejudice.  Under Los Angeles County Superior Court Local Rule 2.8, pre-judgment motions for appointment of a receiver must be filed in a writs and receiver department.  The Court considers Plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction to be intertwined with the request for a receiver.

Plaintiffs may file their request for a receiver in the correct department.  Plaintiffs may also renew their request for preliminary injunction in connection with the request for a receiver in the correct department.
