Demurrer to Complaint
the Alton Property just about two weeks before the 2020 Action was set to begin trial suggests Sazegar and Olmos engaged in gamesmanship to shield the Alton Property from collection.

Plaintiff’s request for attorney fees against Defendant Maria Olmos in the amount of $1,740 is GRANTED. (Code Civ. Proc., § 405.38.) Olmos is ORDERED to pay the attorney fees within 30 days.
