TENTATIVE RULING
Cross-Defendant (in pro per) MERLYN GUEVARRA’s unopposed Motion to Set Aside Default and Default Judgment is GRANTED. CCP § 473(b).
Defendant GUEVARRA’s Proposed Answer separately lodged from the Moving Papers is NOT DEEMED SERVED AND FILED as of the date of the Court’s issuance of this Order. Cross-Defendant GUEVARRA is ORDERED to FILE and SERVE his Answer no later than 5 Court days from the Court’s issuance of this Order.
Moving Party to give notice.
No Opposition filed as of October 26, 2020. Due by October 16, 2020. (CCP §1005(b).)
All parties are ORDERED to appear for the Mandatory Settlement Conference scheduled for January 14, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. SE-F.
Under CCP § 473(b), “[t]he court may…relieve a party or [his] legal representative from a judgment, dismissal, order, or other proceeding taken against him or her through his or her mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect.” The policy of hearing cases on their merits is well-established. (See, e.g. Berman v. Klassman (1971) 17 Cal.App.3d 900.) The Court finds the Declaration of Merlyn Guevarra sufficient to warrant to relief. The Court finds adequate grounds to allow Merlyn Guevarra the opportunity to defend himself on the merits of this action. Cross-Defendant MERLYN GUEVARRA’s unopposed motion to vacate entry of default and default judgment is granted.
