ORDER RE: MOTION
FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, SUMMARY ADJUDICATION BY
DEFENDANT BRIAN L. ZEEK, DBA SURF CITY FINANCIAL GROUP |
||
|
AND RELATED CROSS-ACTIONS |
|
|
The
motion for summary judgment, or in the alternative, summary adjudication
brought
by Defendant Brian
L. Zeek dba Surf City Financial Group (“Defendant”)
is
continued as set forth below.
The
parties have interposed more than 40 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 _______ with a courtesy copy
delivered to Department 50. The Court will review any remaining
objections with the parties at a hearing on _______________ 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.
Defendant
is ordered to give notice of this Order.
