The Plaintiff is ordered to serve notice of the Court’s ruling.

14 30-2026-01578483 The Court has read and considered the Defendants’ Motion to Quash Service Liao vs. Romero of Summons (ROA 7) and the Plaintiff’s Opposition (ROA 15).

The Court takes Judicial Notice of the Proof of Service 10-day Summons & Complaint – Personal (ROA 17) and Proof of Service 10-day Summons & Complaint – Substitute (ROA 11).

California Evidence Code Section 647 states that a proof of service filed by a registered process server establishes a presumption that the facts stated in the document are true. Here, registered process server David del Castillo (Orange County #PS-6547) personally served Tavit Kasbarian on 6/25/26 at 8:47 AM, and then substituted served Natalie Romero via her co-defendant after two previous attempts at personal service.

Contained within the Defendants’ Motion to Quash is an argument akin to a demurrer, in which the Defendants contend that the Complaint fails to meet the minimal requirements for validity. Defendants argue that CCP §1161(2) has specific requirements that the Plaintiff failed to provide and there was no notice as required under CCP §1161(2). The basis of the Complaint as alleged is CCP §1161(1) that there was a fixed-term lease, the fixed-term lease was not extended by agreement, and Defendants failed to vacate; therefore, the Plaintiff seeks to evict them.

The Court DENIES the Defendants' Motion to Quash Service.

The Defendants are ordered to file a responsive pleading within 5 days.
