Judge: Lisa R. Jaskol, Case: BC702305, Date: 2023-09-05 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: BC702305    Hearing Date: March 20, 2024    Dept: 28

On January 25, 2024, the Court scheduled an order to show cause hearing on March 20, 2024 regarding dismissal of this case due to Plaintiff’s failure to bring the case to trial within five years under Code of Civil Procedure section 583.310. 

Plaintiff filed the complaint on April 11, 2018.  The Court dismissed the action on October 11, 2019 and vacated the dismissal on November 20, 2019.

In light of this chronology, and considering the six-month extension resulting from the COVID-pandemic, the Court finds that the case is subject to the mandatory dismissal provision of Code of Civil Procedure section 583.360.  (See Code Civ. Proc., § 583.360; see Code Civ. Proc., § 583.310.)  The Court dismisses the case with prejudice.
