LAW AND MOTION TENTATIVE RULINGS DATE: JULY 10, 2026 TIME: 8:30 A.M.
TENTATIVE RULINGS ARE NOT POSTED IN UNLAWFUL DETAINER CASES
Notice to prevailing parties: Local Rule 2.10.01 requires you to submit a proposed formal order incorporating, verbatim, the language of any tentative ruling – or attaching and incorporating the tentative by reference - or an order consistent with the announced ruling of the Court, in accordance with California Rule of Court 3.1312. Such proposed order is required even if the prevailing party submitted a proposed order prior to the hearing with two exceptions: (1) in unopposed matters where the moving party has provided a detailed proposed order or JCC form of order, or (2) where the tentative is simply to “grant”. Failure to comply with Local Rule 2.10.01 may result in the imposition of sanctions following an order to show cause hearing, if a proposed order is not timely filed.

CHASE BANK, N.A. v. FARLEY
PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR ORDER THAT MATTERS IN REQUESTS FOR ADMISSIONS OF TRUTH OF FACTS BE DEEMED ADMITTED
The motion is granted.
This is a collections case. The complaint alleges breach of contract and seeks $60,649.60. in damages against defendant, who filed an answer on August 21, 2025.
On December 1, 2025, plaintiff served requests for admission set one, on defendant, attached to the declaration of Brian Langedyk as Exhibit 1. Plaintiff states defendant has failed to respond to the requests. (Decl. of Langedyk at ¶ 3.) The requests were served on defendant at 5888 Fern Flat Rd., Aptos, CA, which is the same address defendant used when filing her answer.
Defendant filed a late opposition on June 30, 2026, arguing that she does not have an obligation or legal duty to respond to the requests because plaintiff has not provided a valid contract. Defendant does not provide a reason for her failure to respond to the requests.
“If a party to whom requests for admission have been directed fails to serve a timely response, the requesting party may move for an order that the genuineness of any documents and the truth of any matters specified in the requests be deemed admitted, as well as for a monetary sanction pursuant to Section 2023.030 of the Code of Civil Procedure.” (
