ESPINOZA MANCILLA VS AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC.

1. CASE # CASE NAME HEARING NAME MCCOY. VS FLEETWOOD MOTION FOR SUMMARY CVRI2300147 ALUMINUM PRODUCTS, ADJUDICATION ON COMPLAINT INC. Tentative Ruling: The Court SUSTAINS the parties’ evidentiary objections. The Court DENIES the Motion for Summary Adjudication. Movant has not established the element of damages in his breach of fiduciary claims. A “motion for summary adjudication shall be granted only if it completely disposes of a cause of action.” (CCP § 437c(f)(1).) Movant must “prove each element of the cause of action entitling the party to judgment on the cause of action.” (Id. § 437c(p)(1).)

Here, movant concedes he has not proved damages, requesting that should his motion be granted, “an evidentiary hearing should be set to determine Plaintiff’s precise damages.” California law expressly forecloses this approach. (Paramount Petroleum Corp. v. Superior Court (2014) 227 Cal. App. 4th 226, 241.)
