            vs.

                        Defendants.

Hearing Time:

2:00 p.m.

[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE:

 

PLAINTIFF’S DEMURRER TO DEFENDANT NICHOLAS GERBER’S AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES;

 

MOTION TO STRIKE IMPROPER MATTERS FROM DEFENDANT GERBER’S ANSWER

           

Background

            Plaintiff Abigail Katz (“Plaintiff”) filed this action on November 21, 2024 against a number of defendants, including Nicholas Gerber (“Gerber”). Plaintiff’s Complaint alleges twelve causes of action.

            On December 27, 2024, Gerber filed a Verified Answer to the Complaint.

            Plaintiff now demurs to certain affirmative defenses alleged in Gerber’s Verified Answer to the Complaint. Plaintiff also moves to strike portions of Gerber’s Verified Answer to the Complaint. No opposition to the demurrer or motion to strike was filed. However, the Court notes that on February 14, 2025, Gerber filed an Amended Verified Answer to the Complaint.

            Discussion

            As set forth above, on February 14, 2025, Gerber filed an Amended Verified Answer to the Complaint. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s demurrer and motion to strike pertaining to Gerber’s

Verified Answer to the Complaint are moot.[1]

             Gerber shall give notice of this ruling.

 

DATED:  February 28, 2025                          ________________________________

[1]The Court also notes that Plaintiff does not appear to have filed any proofs of service in connection with the instant demurrer and motion to strike. Thus, it is unclear if Plaintiff’s demurrer or motion to strike were served.
