Notice of Motion and Motion for Relief From Default

DEFENDANT CANDY FILIPPINI’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE AND VACATE DEFAULT JUDGMENT AND ENTER ANOTHER AND DIFFERENT JUDGMENT

TENTATIVE RULING:

Defendant Candy Filippini’s Motion to Set Aside and Vacate Default Judgment and Enter Another and Different Judgment is DENIED.

Default Judgment in this matter was entered on February 26, 2026. Plaintiff filed the current motion to set aside, on April 8, 2026, however it attaches no valid Proof of Service. Instead, Plaintiff had filed a purported Proof of Service-Civil form on March 23, 2026, which claims that service occurred on March 15, 2026. Clearly that Proof of Service-Civil is invalid, one cannot serve a motion before it is even filed and before a date is scheduled for said motion.

Separately, the motion is also procedurally deficient. This matter is assigned to the Honorable Michael L. Mau, Department 20, which is now located at 1050 Mission Road, South San Francisco, CA 94080 in Courtroom L. (See Cal. Rules of Court, Rule 3.1110 [the required Notice “must specify” the location of the hearing].) The April 8, 2026 Motion instead specifies it would be heard in Dept. 20; [Courtroom] G, which is incorrect.

Due to these procedural defects, the motion is DENIED.

Any party who contests a tentative ruling must email Dept20@sanmateocourt.org with a copy to all other parties by 4:00 p.m. stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests.

If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the Court by Minute Order with the Court waiving any Order after hearing.
