Valdiva v. General Motors LLC, 24NWCV01362

This lemon law action was filed on May 1, 2024. Trial is currently scheduled to begin on June 17, 2025. Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment is currently scheduled to be heard after trial, on September 2, 2025. Defendant now applies ex parte to Continue Trial and All Related Dates, or alternatively, advance the MSJ. Defendant argues good cause exists because it timely filed and served its MSJ on February 28, 2025.

Defendant’s ex parte application to Continue Trial and All Related Dates is GRANTED. A trial continuance to a date after Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment is heard is reasonable. The Court will confer with the parties to select new trial, MSC, and FSC dates. The discovery cut-off date and related deadlines will correspond with the new trial date. Defendant’s alternative request, to shorten time on the hearing for the MSJ is DENIED. Moving party to give notice.
