Case Number: 22STCV08210    Hearing Date: September 11, 2023    Dept: 28

AFTER REVIEW OF THE COURT FILE, THE COURT MAKES THE FOLLOWING ORDER:

Department 28 of the Personal Injury Court has determined that the above entitled action is complicated based upon the number of pretrial hearings and/or the complexity of the issues presented.

On 9/6/2023, the Court issued the following order:

AT THE DIRECTION OF DEPARTMENT 1, STANLEY MOSK COURTHOUSE:

This case is hereby transferred and reassigned to the following Independent Calendar Court in THE CENTRAL DISTRICT, JUDGE SERENA R. MURILLO presiding in DEPT. 31 of the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, for all purposes except trial.

Department 1 hereby delegates to the Independent Calendar Court the authority to assign the case for trial to that Independent Calendar Court.

Any pending motions or hearings, including trial and status conferences, will be reset, continued or vacated at the direction of the newly assigned Independent Calendar court.

Counsel for Plaintiff was sent the ruling by mail on 9/6/23, and ordered to give notice.

NO hearings will be held in Department 28, Spring Street Courthouse after 9/6/2023, the date of the transfer regardless of the matters remaining on the Dept. 28 docket.  The PI Court is required to leave the hearings scheduled in the event the newly assigned department chooses to continue those dates.

Moving parties on pending motions may call Department 31, STANLEY MOSK COURTHOUSE, to enquire whether the Court will re-schedule motions, or whether reservations will need to be made.

The parties should not appear on 9/11/23, as the hearing will not go forward in Dept. 28, regardless of appearing on the Department 28 docket.
