Case Number: BC686529 Hearing Date: November 26, 2019 Dept: 4A
Motion for Terminating Sanctions
Having considered the moving papers, the Court rules as follows.
BACKGROUND
On December 11, 2017, Plaintiffs Arielle Burton, individually and as guardian for Levin Whitney and Landayn Whitney, and Daphney White (“Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint against Defendants Elvia Lizarraga and Isreal Gonzalez (“Defendants”) for motor vehicle negligence based on an incident that occurred on June 3, 2017.
On June 11, 2019, The Court dismissed the complaint in granting Defendants’ request for terminating sanctions.
On October 17, 2019, Defendants filed a motion for terminating sanctions pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 2025.450, subdivision (d).
Trial is set for March 2, 2020.
PARTIES REQUESTS
Defendants ask the Court to issue terminating sanctions because of Plaintiffs’ failure to obey a September 11, 2019 Court order.
ANALYSIS
The Court finds Defendants’ motion is unripe. The Court issued terminating sanctions on June 11, 2019 dismissing the complaint in its entirety. This action has not been reinstated. As such, the issuance of terminating sanctions here is unnecessary.
The motion is DENIED.
All future hearing dates are VACATED.
Defendants are ordered to give notice of this ruling.
