Judge: Mark H. Epstein, Case: 23SMCV01867, Date: 2024-08-26 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 23SMCV01867    Hearing Date: August 26, 2024    Dept: I

The court will inquire.  The opposition was due on August 16, 2024.  The fact that plaintiff is ill now does not necessarily explain why a timely opposition was not filed.  Specifically, the court needs to know: (1) when plaintiff became symptomatic from the “significant illness” and (2) why plaintiff did not seek a continuance sooner; and (3) why plaintiff needs an additional two weeks (given that the motion was filed on July 30).  If the questions are answered to the court’s satisfaction, the court will grant the request.  Otherwise, the court will deny it.
