Hon. Rolf Treu, Judge presiding 

CLARK v.  BOARMAN, et al. (21STCV35033)

I.                    BACKGROUND

On 06/28/24, the Court granted Defendant Lestrita Boardman Family Trust (erroneously sued as Defendants Matthew L. Boarman and Nancy K. Calhoun-Vye)’s MSJ and ordered counsel to file a proposed judgment of dismissal.

On 07/01/2024, counsel filed the proposed judgment.

The instant OSC was set per the 07/30/24 Minute Order.

The cross-complaints have been dismissed.

Thus, the Court will sign the proposed judgment filed on 07/01/24 after correcting the date the MSJ was granted.

However, per the 09/24/24 MO, the Court accepted the amendment to the Complaint filed on 08/06/24 adding “City of L.A.” as a defendant.

Thus, the only remaining defendant is the “City of L.A.”

II.                 TENTATIVE RULING

The Court signs the proposed judgment filed on July 1, 2024 after indicating on page 2, line 10 that the Motion for Summary Judgment was granted on June 28, 2024, not May 29, 2024.

This leaves Defendant City of L.A. Plaintiff has not filed a proof of service of the Complaint on Defendant City of L.A.

The Court sets an Order to Show Cause Re: Failure to File Proof of Service of the Summons and Complaint [“City of L.A.”] for June 10, 2025 at 8:30A.M. in Department 19 of the Stanley Mosk Courthouse.

Clerk to give notice.
