Judge: Shirley K. Watkins, Case: LC107777, Date: 2022-11-09 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: LC107777    Hearing Date: November 9, 2022    Dept: T

Tentative ruling on motion to vacate filed on 9/26/2022:  Deny with prejudice on the grounds that the evidence that was submitted supports the court’s ruling.  The court finds that there has been sufficient evidence submitted to establish that plaintiff has the ability to pay the arbitrator’s fees out of funds which are not ordinarily reserved for the common necessaries of life.  There was no excusable neglect. Plaintiff was given a fair opportunity to establish that she has the inability to pay the fees.  Plaintiff clearly indicated that she would not be complying with the discovery and improperly redacted information from her bank statements. Despite that, there was sufficient information for the court to make the determination that she does not qualify for a fee waiver based on her income.  Those facts are set forth in detail in the 8/18/2022 motion. No further motions may be filed with respect to the court’s ruling of 8/18/2022.
