[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: DEFENDANTS SAVAGE SERVICES CORPORATION AND TREDRICK JENKIN’S MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL

 

Dept. 27

1:30 p.m.

September 30, 2022

 

On August 14, 2020, plaintiff Emanuel Awasom (“Plaintiff”) filed this action against defendants Savage Services Corporation (“SSC”) and Tredrick Jenkins (“Jenkins”) (collectively, “Defendants”) arising from a motor vehicle collision that occurred on November 14, 2019. 

Trial is currently scheduled for October 21, 2022.  Defendants seek an order continuing the trial date to January 23, 2023, or a later date.  Defendants also request that the Court continue all discovery and motion cut-off deadlines.  Plaintiff opposes the motion. 

As a preliminary matter, the Court notes that this motion was filed and served on September 6, 2022, by electronic service.  Therefore, Defendants have not given the statutory period of notice required for a noticed motion scheduled to be heard on September 30, 2022 (16 court days + 2 court days).  (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 1005, subd. (b); 1010.6, subd. (a)(4)(B).) 

Accordingly, Defendant’s motion is DENIED without prejudice.

Moving party to give notice.
