CASE NO./NAME: 20STCV42239 WALTER RAGSDALE vs COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES et al.

Moving Party: Defendant County of Los Angeles

Responding Party: Plaintiff¿ 

Notice: Sufficient¿ 

Ruling: COURT TO HEAR FROM PARTIES 

On November 4, 2020, Plaintiff Walter Ragsdale filed the present complaint, alleging a dangerous condition of public property against the County of Los Angeles. Plaintiff claims he was injured while sitting in the lobby area of the probation office located at 1660 W. Mission Blvd., Pomona, CA 91766 ("Subject Property"), waiting for his probation officer, when his chair suddenly collapsed. Defendant now moves the Court for summary judgment, asserting that Plaintiff’s discovery responses are factually devoid and that the County had no actual or constructive notice of the alleged dangerous condition.

In its opposition to the motion, Plaintiff contends he has other necessary discovery to do to adequately oppose the motion.  The Court will discuss this issue with the parties.
