Case #PC047118
MOTION FOR ORDER TO FILE APPLICATION FOR
&
RENEWAL OF JUDGMENT
Motion filed on 7/21/20.
MOVING PARTY: Plaintiff Vournas Coffee Trading, LLC
RESPONDING PARTY: Defendants Newhall Coffee Roasting Company and Mitchell McMullen
RELIEF REQUESTED: An order allowing the late filing of an Application for a Renewal of Judgment.
RULING:
In 2009, Plaintiff filed this action against Defendants Newhall Coffee Roasting Company, Mitchell McMullen and Kyle McMullen for breach of contract. Defendant Kyle McMullen filed for bankruptcy. On 6/15/10, default judgment was entered against the remaining defendants in the amount of $657,882.86. Defendants’ motion to set aside the judgment was denied.
A renewal of judgment must be filed within 10 years of the entry of judgment. See CCP 683.010 – CCP 683.220. On 6/9/20, Plaintiff’s attorney e-filed an Application for and Renewal of Judgment. (Berriz Decl., Ex.1, 2). On 6/16/20, the Court clerk served a Notice of Rejection of the application stating that the court address was incorrect, plaintiff’s name did not match the records and other defendants were missing. (Berriz Decl., Ex.2). The defects in the application were Plaintiff’s attorney’s fault. (Berriz Decl.). On 6/16/20, Plaintiff’s attorney attempted to re-file a corrected application; however, it was rejected as being untimely. (Berriz Decl., Ex.3).
Pursuant to CCP 473(b), Plaintiff seeks an order allowing the late filing of an Application For And Renewal of Judgment based on its attorney’s fault. The application is attached to the declaration of attorney Berriz as Ex.4. Upon examination of Ex.4, it appears that the name of the judgment creditor/applicant/plaintiff set forth in number 1 is still incorrect (Cournas Coffee Trading, LLC v. Vournas Coffee Trading, LLC). Also, it is not clear why Andrew Vournas is listed as an applicant as he is not the plaintiff/judgment creditor.
Upon Plaintiff’s submission of a corrected/amended Application For And Renewal of Judgment, the motion will be granted and the application will be entered. Upon the entry of the renewal of the judgment, Plaintiff/Judgment Creditor must serve notice of renewal of the judgment on the judgment debtor pursuant to CCP 683.160.
