Case Number: 20STCV13625 Hearing Date: September 27, 2022 Dept: 27
SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA
FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES - CENTRAL
DISTRICT
On April 7, 2020, plaintiffs Seydi Marleni
Rodriguez and William Estrada filed this
action against defendants Andarnik Hovhannisyan and Naira Hovhannisyan arising
from an automobile collision that occurred on December 26, 2018. On October 16, 2020, Plaintiff dismissed
Naira Hovhannisyan, leaving Andarnik Hochannisyan (“Defendant”) as the remaining
defendant.
Trial is currently scheduled for December 14,
2022. On August 22, 2022, Defendant
filed this motion seeking an order continuing the trial date to June 15, 2023. The motion is unopposed.
On September 19, 2022, Defendant filed a
stipulation between the parties to continue the trial date to June 29, 2023 and
for all related cut-off dates to correspond with the new trial date. June 29, 2023 is not available and the first
available trial date thereafter is July 7, 2022. Accordingly, based on the unopposed motion
and the submitted stipulation, the Court GRANTS Defendant’s unopposed
motion.
Trial is continued from December 14,
2022 to July 7, 2023 at 8:30 a.m. in Department 27. The final status conference is continued from
November 30, 2022 to June 23, 2023 at
10:00 a.m. in Department 27. All
pretrial deadlines including discovery and motion cut-off dates are to be based
on the new trial date.
