Calendar Matter: | DEMURRER TO 2ND AMENDED COMPLAINT | |
Rulings: | Matter on Calendar for Thursday, September 26, 2013, Line 4, DEFENDANT EASTON CAPITAL PARTNERS LP'S DEMURRER TO 2ND AMENDED COMPLAINTDemurrer is overruled as to both causes of action. Easton Capital Partners LP is not an agent of Autonet Mobile Inc. under California agency laws, and the business judgment rule is inapplicable as Easton Capital Partners LP is not a director of Autonet Mobile Inc. (Cal. Corp. Code u00A7 309.) The pleadings sufficiently allege that Easton Capital Partners LP intentionally acted to induce a breach of contract and intentionally interfere with a contractual relationship. Pleadings also state that Easton Capital Partners LP's conduct caused the breach and disruption of the contractual relationship. Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to contestdept302tr@sftc.org with a copy to all other parties by 4pm stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests. The prevailing party is required to prepare a proposed order with the name and address of the prevailing party's counsel or the prevailing party if pro per in the top left of the first page of proposed order which repeats verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must bring the proposed order to the hearing or email it to contestdept302tr@sftc.org prior to the hearing even if the motion is not opposed or the tentative ruling is not contested. =(302/LCN) |

Calendar Matter: | DEMURRER TO 1ST AMENDED COMPLAINT | |
Rulings: | Matter on calendar for Monday, June 24, 2013, Line 14, DEFENDANT AUTONET MOBILE, INC.'s DEMURRER TO 1ST AMENDED COMPLAINT.Autonet's general demurrer to Plaintiff Roettgers' First Amended Complaint is overruled as to the first, third, and fourth causes of action, and sustained as to the second cause of action. The general demurrer to the first cause of action is overruled as Plaintiff has sufficiently pled the elements of a cause of action for wage violations under Labor Code Sections 201 and 202. The general demurrer to the second cause of action for failure to provide accurate wage statements under Labor Code Section 226 is sustained with leave to amend. Plaintiff is given 15 days to plead facts, in good faith, that demonstrate an injury arose from the missing/inaccurate information in Autonet's wage statements. See Price v. Starbucks Corp, 192 Cal. App. 4th 1136, 1142-43 (2011). The general demurrer to the third cause of action for violation of Business and Professions Code Section 17200 et seq. is overruled as Plaintiff has sufficiently pled facts regarding Autonet's alleged unfair and unlawful business practices. See Khoury v. Maly's of California, Inc., 14 Cal. App. 4th 612, 619, (1993). The general demurrer to the fourth cause of action for breach of contract and/or breach of covenant of good faith is overruled. Plaintiff has pled sufficient facts that Autonet breached its oral promise to Plaintiff to repay his deferred salary if he continued to work for Autonet on a reduced salary through its liquidity crisis. (FAC 8, 25.) Plaintiff's special demurrer is overruled as to the first, third, and fourth causes of action. As to the first and third causes of action, Plaintiff is not required to allege the existence of a contract at the pleading stage to overcome a demurrer. As to the fourth cause of action, it can be ascertained from the First Amended Complaint that the alleged contract between Roettgers and Autonet was an oral agreement. (FAC 8, 25.) Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to contestdept302tr@sftc.org with a copy to all other parties by 4pm stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests. The prevailing party is required to prepare a proposed order with the name and address of the prevailing party's counsel or the prevailing party if pro per in the top left of the first page of proposed order which repeats verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must bring the proposed order to the hearing or email it to contestdept302tr@sftc.org prior to the hearing even if the motion is not opposed or the tentative ruling is not contested. =(302/MJM) |

Calendar Matter: | Notice Of Motion And Motion For Sanctions For Autonet'S Failure To Appear At Three Party Witness Depositons; And Imporper Instructions At The Continued Deposittions | |
Rulings: | Set for hearing on Thursday, May 2, 2013, Line 4, PLAINTIFF CHRISTIAN ROETTGERS' Notice Of Motion And Motion For Sanctions For Autonet's Failure To Appear At Three Party Witness Depositons; And Improper Instructions At The Continued DepositionsPro Tem Judge Arlene Barton, a member of the California State Bar who meets all the requirements set forth in CRC 2.812 to serve as a temporary judge, has been assigned to hear this motion. Prior to the hearing all parties to the motion will be asked to sign a stipulation agreeing that the motion may be heard by the Pro Tem Judge. If all parties to the motion sign the stipulation, the hearing will proceed before the Judge Pro Tem who will decide the motion with the same authority as a Superior Court Judge. If a party appears by telephone, the stipulation may be signed via fax or consent to sign given by email. If not all parties to the motion sign the stipulation, the Pro Tem Judge will hold a hearing on the motion and, based on the papers submitted by the parties and the hearing, issue a report in the nature of a recommendation to the Dept. 302 Judge, who will then decide the motion. If a party does not appear at the hearing, the party will be deemed to have stipulated that the motion will be decided by the Pro Tem Judge with the same authority as a Superior Court Judge.The Pro Tem Judge has issued the following tentative ruling: The motion for Sanctions for Failure to Appear at Three Party Witnesses Depositions and For Improper Instructions at the Continued Deposition is Denied. The record clearly reflects plaintiff had agreed to move the deposition dates of the three party witnesses upon which Defendants relied. Plaintiff failed to provide evidence that the deposition of Ms. Bonetti was left open as to any and all questions; the transcripts fails to set forth clearly the full reason for a further deposition but it is clear there were certain objections that were made the basis for the further deposition. Further plaintiff did not provide a CRC 3.1345(a) statement as required. Sanctions are denied.Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to abarton@mckennalong.com with a copy to all other parties by 4pm stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests. If the tentative ruling is not contested, the parties are deemed to have stipulated to the Pro Tem hearing the motion and the Pro Tem will sign an order confirming the tentative ruling. The prevailing party is required to prepare a proposed order repeating verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must bring the proposed order to the hearing even if the motion is not opposed or the tentative ruling is not contested. =(302/JPT) |
