Barlow vs. Ford Motor Company, Case No. 22NWCV01584

This is a Song-Beverly action. Plaintiff moves ex parte to enforce compliance with the Court’s order dated April 25, 2024, and alternatively, to shorten the time to file a motion to enforce settlement agreement.

A party may seek ex parte relief upon an affirmative factual showing "irreparable harm, immediate danger, or any other statutory basis for granting relief ex parte." (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1202(c).)

Plaintiff does not assert irreparable harm, immediate danger, or any other statutory basis for granting relief ex parte.

Based on the above, the Court DENIES the ex parte motion in part and GRANTS it in part. The Court specially sets the motion to enforce settlement agreement to October 10, 2024 at 9:30 A.M. in Dept. P.

Moving party to give notice.
