Craig Martin, Trustee of the Craig & Vetta Martin Family Trust v. City of La Habra Heights 23NWCV03743

This real property action was filed on November 20, 2023. The mandatory settlement conference (MSC) is currently scheduled for December 5, 2024, and trial is set to begin on May 7, 2025. Defendant moves ex parte to Continue the Mandatory Settlement Conference. Defendant met and conferred with Plaintiff and states Plaintiff does not oppose this application. Defendant contends good cause exists because new evidence revealed in discovery suggests a new party must be joined for meaningful negotiations to take place.

Defendant’s request to Continue the Mandatory Settlement Conference is GRANTED. The Court finds good cause to continue the MSC. The Court will confer with the parties to select a new MSC date. Moving party to give notice.
