 Guzman v. Steadfast Insurance Company  24STCV33960 

Ex Parte Application  1/24/25

The court denies petitioner’s ex parte application for an order to shorten time to hear petitioner’s motion to compel arbitration, appointment of arbitrator and selection of February 6, 2025 as the arbitration hearing date, and to advance the hearing on that motion to January 31, 2025 or February 3, 2025.          

The court does not find good cause to grant petitioner’s request for an order shortening time on the hearing on petitioner’s motion/petition to compel arbitration, appointment of arbitrator and selection of February 6, 2025 as the arbitration hearing date, or to prescribe shorter times for the filing and service of papers than the times specified in Code of Civil Procedure section 1005, subdivision (b).  (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1300, subd. (b).)

The court finds that petitioner has not satisfied the requirement of California Rules of Court, rule 3.1202, subdivision (c), that an applicant for an ex parte order must make an affirmative factual showing in a declaration containing competent testimony based on personal knowledge of irreparable harm, immediate danger, or other statutory basis for granting relief ex parte. 

The court orders petitioner to give notice of this order.
