Judge: Mark H. Epstein, Case: 25SMCV00109, Date: 2025-04-01 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 25SMCV00109    Hearing Date: April 1, 2025    Dept: I

The court does not understand this motion.  It is a motion to vacate the dismissal of plaintiff’s action.  The action was dismissed against three individuals based on three requests for dismissal filed by plaintiff.  The court is in receipt of plaintiff’s motion to set those dismissals aside, but the motion does not explain why the dismissals plaintiff filed were filed by mistake or for some other reason set forth in Code of Civil Procedure section 473(b).  The motion is therefore DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.  Plaintiff can re-file if he wants to reinstate the case against one or more of the dismissed defendants, but if he does, he needs to explain why it is that the dismissals were mistakenly filed.
