Department 54, Judge Maurice A. Leiter
Motion for Terminating Sanctions
Moving Party: Defendants County of
Los Angeles, Sheriff Alex Villanueva, District Attorney George Gascón and Lt.
John Adams
Responding Party:
Plaintiff Jane Doe
T/R: DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR TERMINATING SANCTIONS IS DENIED.
DEFENDANTS TO NOTICE.
If the parties wish to submit on the tentative, please email the
courtroom at SMCdept54@lacourt.org with notice to opposing
counsel (or self-represented party) before 8:00 am on the day of the hearing.
The Court
considers the moving papers, opposition and reply.
Defendants move for terminating and monetary sanctions against Plaintiff
on the ground that she has forged signatures on various proofs of services in
this action. The Court sustained Defendants’ demurrer to Plaintiff’s first
amended complaint without leave to amend on August 5, 2022. On September 20,
2022, the Court entered judgment dismissing Plaintiff’s action. The Court
cannot grant terminating sanctions in a case that has already been terminated.
