Cardoza v. City of Compton 23NWCV00990

This personal injury action was filed on March 30, 2023. Trial is currently set for December 20, 2024. The Motion to Compel the Deposition of David Blake Jr. is scheduled to be heard three days before trial, on December 17, 2024. A Motion for Summary Judgment and Motion to Compel Deposition of Isaac Galvan are scheduled to be heard after trial. Plaintiffs move ex parte to advance the hearings on Motions to the Compel David Blake Jr. and Isaac Galvan to be heard before the discovery cut-off date (30 days before trial), and before trial. 

Plaintiffs' Ex Parte Application to Advance and Specially Set the Hearing Date for Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel the Deposition of David Blake Jr. is DENIED. Given the proximity of the trial date, Dept. C's congested calendar is unable to accommodate Plaintiffs' request. The parties are not foreclosed from seeking a trial continuance in Dept. SE-F.
