T/R:      PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY COUNSEL IS DENIED.

 

PLAINTIFF 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.

 

On January 23, 2025, Plaintiff filed a document titled, “PLAINTIFF MOTION TO OPPOSE UNINTELLIGIBLE RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF’S CLAIMS & to disqualify Defendant’s Attorney.” The body of the motion states that Defendant’s November 13, 2024 answer to Plaintiff’s complaint is unintelligible, and requests that the Court strike the answer.

 

The Court disagrees that Defendant’s answer is unintelligible. The answer provides denials and affirmative defenses. Plaintiff presents no argument or analysis relating to the request to disqualify Defendant’s counsel.

 

Plaintiff’s motion is DENIED.
