PLAINTIFF ARMEN JALALIAN’S MOTION FOR ORDER REQUIRING DEFENDANT SAM OSTAYAN TO LODGE ORIGINAL EXECUTED DEEDS WITH THE COURT

TENTATIVE RULING:

Plaintiff’s Motion for Order Requiring Defendant Sam Ostayan to Lodge Original Executed Deeds With the Court is DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff has not shown a statutory or evidentiary basis for requiring originals to be lodged with the Court outside the ordinary discovery, subpoena, or trial-evidence process. The ruling is without prejudice to properly served discovery, a properly supported motion to compel, a subpoena duces tecum, or an evidentiary objection or request at trial.

Plaintiff’s Motion for Order Requiring Certain Defendants to Lodge Original Instruments with the Court is also DENIED without prejudice. The difference between the Notice of Trustee’s Sale amount and the later Notice of Default arrearage does not, by itself, establish that original instruments must be lodged with the Court, and California’s nonjudicial foreclosure scheme does not require production of the original note or deed of trust as a condition of initiating foreclosure procedures.

The Court does not decide at this time whether any recorded instrument is authentic, valid, enforceable, void, voidable, or entitled to evidentiary admission. Those issues are preserved for proper motion, discovery, or trial proceedings.

If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the Court. Thereafter, counsel for Defendants shall prepare, for the Court’s signature, a written order consistent with this ruling pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 3.1312, and shall provide written notice of the ruling to all parties who have appeared in the action, as required by law and by the California Rules of Court.
