Case Number: 22STCV12900    Hearing Date: March 28, 2024    Dept: 28

On April 18, 2022, Plaintiff Nicole White (“Plaintiff”) filed this action against Defendants CVS Pharmacy, Inc., Garfield Beach CVS LLC, and Does 1-20 for general negligence and premises liability. 

On March 28, 2023, Plaintiff amended the complaint to include Defendant Next System Signs, LLC, as Doe 1 (“Next”). 

On May 26, 2023, Defendant Garfield Beach CVS, L.L.C., individually and erroneously sued and served as CVS Pharmacy, Inc. (“CVS”), filed an answer. 

On February 13, 2024, Next filed an answer. 

On March 4, 2024, CVS filed a motion for leave to file a cross-complaint against Next to be heard on March 28, 2024.  The proof of service attached to CVS's motion does not show service on Next.  Therefore, the Court denies the motion.
