TENTATIVE RULING ON OSC RE SANCTIONS and REQUEST FOR STAY:

GRANT $250 IN SANCTIONS AGAINST THE WILLIAMS GROUP FOR FAILURE TO ENTER DEFAULT AGAINST DEFENDANTS GERMON AND FAMEOUS PER CRC 3.110(g). 

ON THE PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST FOR STAY, THE COURT GRANTS THE REQUEST.  THE PLAINTIFF'S CLAIM FOR DAMAGES CANNOT BE SPLIT INTO TWO TRIALS WHICH IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF PLAINTIFF PREVAILS ON THE APPEAL AS TO JACKSON.  THE LAW IS WELL ESTABLISHED IN THIS REGARD.  "It is clearly established that a party may not split up a single cause of action and make it the basis of separate suits..." Wilfjen v. Dolton (1944) 24 Cal.2d 893.
