Based on the relief sought in the Cross-Complaint, this case is reclassified as an unlimited civil case and transferred to the Reclassification/Transfer Desk for collection of fees and reassignment of the case to an Independent Calendar Court. Defendant / Cross-Complainant is ordered to pay the reclassification fee within ten (10) days.

ANALYSIS:
On May 29, 2020, Plaintiff Francisco Delgado (“Plaintiff”) filed the instant action for breach of contract against Defendant Commercial Medical Residential Construction, Inc. (“Defendant”). On July 8, 2020, Defendant filed a Cross-Complaint against Plaintiff for breach of contract and negligence and seeks damages of $70,000.00. (Cross-Compl., p. 6:26-28.)
As a limited jurisdiction court, this Court lacks jurisdiction to grant damages in excess of $25,000.00. (See Code Civ. Proc., §§ 85, 86, subd. (a).) Based on the relief sought in the Cross-Complaint, this case is reclassified as an unlimited civil case and transferred to the Reclassification/Transfer Desk for collection of fees and reassignment of the case to an Independent Calendar Court. Defendant is ordered to pay the reclassification fee within ten (10) days.
