Shamika Lashawn Harris vs Rabi Jamil Mouton, Case No. 23NWCV04054

This is a breach of contract action. Plaintiff Shamika Lashawn Harris (“Plaintiff”) filed suit against Defendant Rabi Jamil Mouton (“Defendant”) for (1) Declaratory Relief; (2) Breach of Contract; and (3) Partnership Dissolution.

Plaintiff moves ex parte for an order advancing the hearing on Plaintiff’s Demurrer to the Cross-Complaint, currently scheduled for Tuesday, September 24, 2024, and Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Defendant Rabi Jamil Mouton’s Deposition, currently scheduled for Thursday, February 13, 2025. 

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. R. Ct. 3.1202(c).)

Here, trial is not currently set in this action. However, the Court does find that Plaintiff would suffer harm by not having her motions earlier.

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s ex parte application to advance Plaintiff’s demurrer and Motion to Compel Defendant Rabi Jamil Mouton’s Deposition is GRANTED.  Plaintiff’s demurrer is ADVANCED from September 24, 2024 to today’s date and CONTINUED to August 15, 2024 at 9:30 a.m. in Dept. SE-C.  Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Defendant Rabi Jamil Mouton’s Deposition is ADVANCED from Thursday, February 13, 2025 to August 15, 2024 at 9:30 a.m. in Dept. SE-C.

Plaintiff to give notice.
