Judge: Lynne M. Hobbs, Case: 21STCV19615, Date: 2024-01-09 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 21STCV19615    Hearing Date: January 9, 2024    Dept: 30

CHARLES HOLT vs AMY KATHLEEN GALL, et al.

Tentative

The unopposed motion to continue trial and related dates is GRANTED. The current trial and final status conference dates are advanced, vacated, and continued to May 13, 2024, at 8:30 am, and April 29, 2024, at 10:00 am, respectively. Discovery and motion cutoff dates shall be based on the new trial date.

Discussion

The Court finds there is good cause to continue trial as there is outstanding discovery that needs to be conducted, and because defense counsel is unavailable. In addition, Defendant has only appeared in this matter as of February 2, 2023, due to being served late. Moreover, no party has opposed, and thus, it does not appear any party would be prejudiced by a continuance. Therefore, the motion is granted. Trial is continued to May 13, 2024. Discovery and motion cutoff dates shall be based on the new trial date.
