This is a landlord-tenant matter, and the Complaint was filed on December 18, 2023.

Defendants Concerned Citizens of South Central Los Angeles, Inc. and Roberta Stephans Villas Preservation, L.P. now demur to the entirety of the Complaint for uncertainty and failure to state sufficient facts.

Because there is no opposition, the Complaint is deemed abandoned.  (Herzberg v. County of Plumas (2005) 133 Cal.App.4th 1, 20.)  The Demurrer is sustained, without leave to amend.

Given the ruling on the Demurrer, the Motion to Strike is denied as moot.

Moving party to give notice.

If counsel do not submit on the tentative, they are strongly encouraged to appear by LACourtConnect rather than in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
