Teran, et al. v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., 23NWCV01122

This lemon law action was filed on April 12, 2023. Trial is currently scheduled to begin on May 5, 2025. Defendant now applies ex parte to Continue Trial for approximately 70 days. Defendant argues good cause exists because Defendant’s trial counsel and expert witness are unavailable for the current trial date due to engagement in other trials. Additionally, there have been no prior trial continuances in this matter.

Defendant’s ex parte application to Continue Trial is GRANTED pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 3.1332(c)(3) - the unavailability of trial counsel because of…other excusable circumstances. A trial continuance of 70 days is reasonable. The Court will confer with the parties to select a new trial date. Moving party to give notice.
