MOVING PARTY: Plaintiffs Guadalupe Mabra and
Manuel Mabra,
Both as trustees for the Mabra Family Trust dated 4/15/2005
OPPOSITION: Defendant Eugene Combs (in pro per)
Plaintiffs Guadalupe Mabra and Manuel Mabra, as trustees for the Mabra Family Trust dated 4/15/2005 (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), allege that Defendant Eugene Combs (“Defendant”) induced them to invest in real property with false representations.
On December 12, 2017, Plaintiffs filed their initial Complaint naming Defendant and several co-defendants. Defendant failed to file an answer and a default was entered against him on May 8, 2018. In January 2020, Plaintiffs filed a Request for Default Judgment against Defendant.
On February 13, 2020, Defendant, who is self-represented, filed an answer to Plaintiffs’ Complaint. On March 9, 2020, Plaintiffs filed the instant motion to strike Defendant’s answer. On August 11, 2020, Defendant filed an opposition.
Standard: Self-represented individuals are held to the same standards as a party represented by counsel. Nwosu v. Uba (2004) 122 Cal.App.4th 1229, 1247.
California Code of Civil Procedure ; 436 subd. (b) states that a court upon a motion or in its discretion may: “(b) Strike out all or any part of any pleading not drawn or filed in conformity with the laws of this state, a court rule, or an order of the court.”
