Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint
TENTATIVE RULING:
Plaintiff’s unopposed motion for leave to amend the complaint to correct the name of the property owner is GRANTED. Plaintiff shall file the proposed first amended complaint (FAC) within five (5) days of notice of entry of this order and must personally serve the FAC on defendant at that time, unless she has agreed to email service. Defendant shall have ten (10) court days to respond to the FAC, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1167, subd. (a).)
Plaintiff seeks to amend the complaint, which names ASN Tanforan Crossing I, LLC as the plaintiff to comport with the lease agreement, which identifies the property owner as ASN Tanforan Crossing II, LLC. Plaintiff’s counsel’s declaration states that he discovered the error on May 19, 2026. The motion to amend the complaint was filed on May 27, 2026. Notice of reassignment, and notice of the pretrial conference was sent to the parties on May 15, 2026, and the notice of trial was sent to the parties on June 10, 2026.
Defendant has not responded to the motion. She did, however, answer the complaint and did not raise the issue of the mis-named plaintiff. Because this is an unlawful detainer proceeding, she may appear at the hearing, and if she opposes the motion, may do so orally. If defendant opposes the amendment, she must state facts demonstrating that she would be prejudiced by the amendment.
If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the court. Thereafter, plaintiff’s counsel shall prepare a written order consistent with the court’s ruling for the court’s signature, pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1312 and Local Rule 3.403(b)(iv), and provide written notice of the ruling to all parties who have appeared in this action. The order should be e-filed only, do not email or mail a hard copy to the court.
