Department 54, Judge Maurice Leiter

Motion to Amend Judgment

Moving Party: Plaintiffs TMX Logistics, Inc. and Tatung Mexico S.A. DE C.V.

Responding Party: None

T/R:     PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO AMEND JUDGMENT IS GRANTED.

PLAINTIFFS 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. No opposition has been received.

CCP § 473(d) provides that “[t]he court may, upon motion of the injured party, or its own motion, correct clerical mistakes in its judgment or orders as entered.” “A court can always correct a clerical, as distinguished from a judicial error which appears on the face of a decree by a nunc pro tunc order.” (In re Eckstrom’s Estate (1960) 54 Cal.2d 540, 544.) “The function of a nunc pro tunc order is merely to correct the record of the judgment.” (Id. (internal quotations omitted).)

Plaintiffs move for an order amending the sister state judgment entered in this case to include all seven Defendants against whom the Texas judgment was entered. Plaintiffs assert that only one Defendant was listed on the sister state judgment form due to mistake. The Court finds good cause to amend the judgment.

Plaintiffs’ motion is GRANTED.
