SOHEIL SEDGHAT vs LAURA ROBINSON, et al.

22STCV12642

Demurrer with Motion to Strike, by Deft. County of Los Angeles

Ruling:

Demurrer overruled. 

Motion to Strike is granted in part with respect to Plaintiff's prayer for punitive damages, only, with leave to amend.  Plaintiff is granted 20 days leave to amend. 

Moving party is to give notice.   

Rationale: 

The demurrer is untimely and overruled on that ground.  The complaint lacks sufficient facts to support a claim for punitive damages.  It merely states a physical and emotional injury.
