Judge: Mark H. Epstein, Case: 22SMCV00993, Date: 2022-12-20 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 22SMCV00993    Hearing Date: December 20, 2022    Dept: R

The ex parte application is DENIED.  If the motion to strike is granted, then the motion for sanctions will be heard in due course.  If the motion is denied, then the motion for sanctions is moot.  There is no compelling reason to continue the motion to strike so that a 128.7 motion can be heard at the same time.  Defendant should take no solace in this order.
