Life Family Law Group v. Matheu, et al.
MOTION FOR SUMMARY ADJUDICATION

(CCP § 437c)

TENTATIVE RULING:

Plaintiff Life Family Law Group’s Second Motion for Summary Adjudication is PLACED OFF CALENDAR.

ANALYSIS:

Plaintiff Life Family Law Group (“Plaintiff”) filed the instant action for breach of retainer agreement against Defendant Laura Matheu (“Defendant”) on June 15, 2021. Plaintiff filed proof of personal service of the Summons and Complaint on July 16, 2021. Due to Defendant’s failure to file a responsive pleading, the Court entered default on November 16, 2021 and default judgment on January 31, 2022. On June 16, 2022, the Court granted Defendant’s Motion to Vacate Default and Default Judgment. (Minute Order, 06/16/22.) In accordance with the June 16, 2022 order, Defendant filed an Answer on June 17, 2022. On June 18, 2022, Plaintiff sought to file an Amended Complaint.

Plaintiff’s first Motion for Summary Adjudication was denied on September 27, 2022. (Minute Order, 09/27/22.) The Court also set the case for trial on March 14, 2023. (Ibid.) Plaintiff then re-filed the Motion for Summary Adjudication on November 2, 2022. However, following denial of Plaintiff’s request for fee waiver, the clerk’s office voided the filing of the second Motion for Summary Adjudication.

Therefore, Plaintiff’s second Motion for Summary Adjudication is PLACED OFF CALENDAR.

Court clerk to give notice.
