Case No.: 18STLC04387 (related to BC707385)
Hearing Date: December 10, 2019
[TENTATIVE] order RE: MOTION TO consolidate
|
Defendant Arutyun Sargisian (“Defendant”) moves to reclassify the above-referenced case as an unlimited civil case and then seeks to consolidate it with another unlimited civil case: James Vargas v. Arutyun Sargisian (Super. Ct. L.A. County, 2018, No. BC707385). Plaintiffs Johnny Padilla and Elsy Ramirez (“Plaintiffs”) oppose the motion for reclassification, thereby opposing the motion for consolidation.
Per Local Rule 3.3, subdivision (g), “Before consolidation of a limited case with an unlimited case, the limited case must be reclassified as an unlimited case and the reclassification fee paid.” (Super. Ct. L.A. County, Local Rules, rule 3.3(g)(3).) In determining whether to classify a limited case as an unlimited case, the Court must “review the record to determine whether a judgment in excess of $25,000 is obtainable.” (Ytuarte v. Superior Court (2005) 129 Cal.App.4th 266, 279.)
Here, Defendant has not advanced any evidence from which the Court could determine if Plaintiffs might obtain a judgment in excess of $25,000. Defendant simply argues that the Court should consolidate the actions for purposes of judicial economy since both actions arise from the same motor vehicle accident. However, that is not the standard for determining whether an action should be reclassified as an unlimited civil matter. In the absence of evidence in support of Defendant’s position, the motion is denied.
CONCLUSION AND ORDER
Defendant’s motion for reclassification is denied without prejudice. Therefore, Defendant’s motion for consolidation is denied without prejudice. Defendant shall provide notice and file proof of such with the Court.
