Philadelphia Indemnity Ins. Co. v. Lewis, Deann

3. M-CV-0087555 Philadelphia Indemnity Ins. Co. v. Lewis, Deann

Moving parties are advised the notice of motion must include notice of the court’s tentative ruling procedures. (Local Rule 20.2.3(C).)

Motion to Release Interpled Funds

Defendants and cross-complainants (“moving parties”) Jennifer Flippen-Black and Justin Black move for release of interpled funds. More specifically, moving parties request an order releasing $25,000 the surety deposited with the court pursuant to this court’s October 14, 2025 order. Moving parties ask that $15,000 of the funds be released to them and that $10,000 be released to defendant Deann Lewis.

The motion is denied without prejudice as premature. Moving parties’ cross-complaint filed September 4, 2024 includes enforcement of claims on contractor’s license bonds against several cross-defendants including Jimmy Joseph Gloria. After this motion was filed but prior to the hearing on the motion, the court ordered Angie Brown substituted in as the personal representative of cross-defendant Jimmy Joseph Gloria. There is no evidence this substituted cross-defendant has been served nor has this cross-defendant been dismissed or defaulted. This motion for release of interpled funds effectively seeks final determination of at least one cause of action without notice to one of the parties. The motion is therefore denied without prejudice as it is premature.

5. M-CV-0093623 Sunbelt Rentals v. Timothy P Hansen

Defendants are advised the notice of motion must include notice of the court’s current tentative ruling procedures. (Local Rule 20.2.3(C).) While the notice of motion includes a “Notice of Tentative Ruling System,” it uses outdated language.

Motion to Set Aside Default

Defendants Timothy P. Hansen and Cheryl L. Hansen, individually and as trustees to the Timothy P. Hansen and Cheryl L. Hansen Revocable Trust dated 8-10-2021 (“moving defendants”) move to set aside default entered against them on November 19, 2025. There is no evidence moving defendants served the motion on defendant Diego Ibarra.

The court, on its own motion, continues the motion to set aside default to June 23, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. in Department 42. Moving defendants are directed to serve this motion on
