ORDER RE: DEFENDANTS’
MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, SUMMARY ADJUDICATION |
||
The motion for summary judgment, or in the
alternative, summary adjudication brought
by Defendants Garfield
Beach CVS, LLC and Deborah Padilla (jointly, “Defendants”) is continued as set forth below. No hearing will take place.
The parties have interposed more than 30 evidentiary objections. Due to the voluminous number of objections, the hearing on the
motion will be continued to a date that will be set at the Hearing on
Objections discussed below.
The
Court orders the parties to meet and confer by telephone or in person in a
serious and good faith effort to resolve and eliminate the objections. The only
objections that should remain are those that pertain to material evidence regarding material issues. Keeping the rules of evidence in mind, the
parties should be able to reduce the objections to just a few. If any material objections remain
unresolved, the parties are to set them forth in a joint statement with the
text, the objection, and the argument of each side in favor of their respective
positions regarding the remaining material objections, along with a space for a
ruling.
The joint
statement must be filed on or before
10/5/22 with a courtesy copy delivered to Department 50.
The Court will
review any remaining objections with the parties at a hearing on 10/12/22 at 10:00 a.m. (the “Hearing on
Objections”). The date for the hearing on the motion will be set at the Hearing
on Objections.
If necessary, based upon the resolutions
reached during the meet and confer process and/or at the Hearing on Objections,
the parties may respectively file and serve revised briefing and evidence. The
revised evidence may eliminate objectionable material; however, no new evidence or new argument is to be
submitted unless it is as a result of compromises reached during the meet and
confer process. In the event that revised briefing and evidence is
necessary, the Court will discuss with the parties a briefing schedule for the
revised briefing at the Hearing on Objections.
Defendants are ordered to give notice of this
Order.
