[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO SET ASIDE NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT
On January 23, 2018, plaintiff Rachquel Olivia Nesbit filed this action against defendants Norman Antonio Guzman, Juan Antonio Guzman, and Gloria Guzman (collectively, “Defendants”). Defendants filed an Answer on March 5, 2018. On August 20, 2019, Plaintiff filed a notice of settlement. Plaintiff now seeks to set aside the notice of settlement and requests a trial date. The motion is unopposed.
Plaintiff requests the Court set aside the settlement on the grounds that her counsel initially believed the matter was settled, but that Plaintiff later telephoned counsel and informed her that she did not want to accept the amount that Defendant was offering to resolve her claim. Plaintiff has not signed any waiver or release, nor did she represent to the court that she was agreeing to settle her claims. Plaintiff contends no legally binding agreement exists to settle her claim, and that this is sufficient to set aside the notice of settlement. (Irvine v. Regents of the University of California (2007) 149Cal.App.4th 994, 1001-02 (“By alleging a dispute over whether the parties reached a binding settlement, plaintiff demonstrated good cause to restore the case to the civil active list.”).)
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s unopposed motion to set aside the notice of settlement is GRANTED. Trial is set for March 25, 2020. Final Status Conference is set for March 11, 2020. All dates are based on the new trial date.
Moving party to give notice.
