Case Number: 23SMCV05675    Hearing Date: August 21, 2024    Dept: I

The demurrer relies on a declaration to make its point.  Testimonial declarations are not proper for the court to consider in demurrer.  Nor is there a plausible or cogent argument suggesting that a testimonial declaration is subject to judicial notice.  The demurrer is OVERRULED.  Defendant has 5 court days to answer.  The short period is advertent.
