Motion to Declare Plaintiff a Vexatious Litigant and Post a Bond

Moving Party: Defendant County of Los Angeles, joined by Defendants County Supervisors Holly J. Mitchell and Hilda L. Solis, District Attorney George Gascon and City of Los Angeles

Responding Party: Plaintiff Meldoy Rogers

 

T/R:      DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO DECLARE PLAINTIFF A VEXATIOUS LITIGANT IS CONTINUED TO JANUARY 16, 2025 AT 9:00AM. THE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE IS CONTINUED TO THE SAME TIME.

 

DEFENDANT TO FILE AND SERVE A REPLY NO LATER THAN JANUARY 10, 2024.

 

DEFENDANT 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 and opposition.

 

Defendant moves to declare Plaintiff a vexatious litigant. Defendant filed a notice of non-opposition on November 25, 2024. Plaintiff filed an untimely “objection” to the motion on December 2, 2024. Given the extreme remedy requested in the motion, the Court will consider Plaintiff’s late filed opposition. The Court will continue the hearing and allow Defendant to file and serve a reply. The Case Management Conference is continued to the same date and time.
