J&N INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISES, LLC VS. ALICIA FLORES ET AL

Real Property/Housing Court Law and Motion Calendar for April 29, 2026. Line 7. DEFENDANT ALICIA FLORES Motion To Obtain Judgment And Restrict Record is GRANTED in part and DENIED without prejudice in part.

Judgment shall enter in accordance with the April 20, 2023 Order Granting Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment. Defendant's request to restrict the record of this action is denied without prejudice.

Defendant's motion variously discusses sealing records (CRC 2.550 et seq.) and masking limited jurisdiction unlawful detainer actions (CCP 1161.2). These are two different procedures.

Regarding CRC 2.550, Defendant's purported "overriding interest" is not unique to her circumstances, but is based on general statements regarding open access to records of unlawful detainer actions compromising the ability to find housing. CRC 2.550 is a fact specific inquiry; it is not a remedy that may be granted based on general policy arguments. There is no evidence that Defendant, specifically, has suffered or will suffer any such harm, or that sealing the records of this action are the least restrictive means. No foundation for the statement in the declaration of counsel that Defendant will be harmed.

Regarding CCP 1161.2, this section applies only to limited jurisdiction cases. This case was filed in unlimited jurisdiction and has not been reclassified.

This matter will be heard in department 505 by the Honorable Michelle Tong at 1:30 p.m. per the order of the presiding judge. =(501/MT)
