Civil - Unlimited  Other employment Motion Hearing (Civil) 37-2021-00030018-CU-OE-CTL AGUILAR VS COLEMAN WORLDWIDE MOVING LLC [E-FILE] CAUSAL DOCUMENT/DATE FILED: Motion for Approval of Class Settlement, 05/08/2023

Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class and PAGA Action Settlement is ordered OFF CALENDAR.

This court set this hearing at Plaintiff's request on May 26, 2023, when it denied Plaintiff's previously filed motion for preliminary approval of class and 'PAGA' settlement without prejudice. (ROA 44, 31.) The court confirmed this date with counsel at a status conference on July 28, 2023. (ROA 51.) The court's May 26, 2023 minute order states 'amended briefing is to be filed per code.' (ROA 44.) However, no amended papers were ever filed.

Counsel should have called the department and taken the motion off calendar so the court could have accommodated other litigants on this law and motion calendar in compliance with the local rules. (San Diego Superior Court Local Rule 2.1.20.) Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 177.5 and Local Rule 2.1.20, the court sets an OSC re: Sanctions for February 23, 2024 at 10:45 a.m. Plaintiff's counsel Mitchell Murray of the law firm Farnaes & Lucio is ordered to show cause why he should not be sanctioned. Any papers filed in response to this order to show cause should be filed and served no later than February 14, 2024.

The court also sets a Case Management Conference for February 23, 2024 at 10:45 a.m.
