On May 8, 2026, defendant Michael Smith filed a motion to change venue and transfer this action to the Superior Court of Orange County.

This motion to quash is set for this hearing. "A motion to change venue operates as a supersedeas or stay of proceedings." (South Sutter, LLC v. LJ Sutter Partners, L.P. (2011) 193 Cal.App.4th 634, 655.) The motion to quash will therefore be continued to be heard on August 24, 2026, after disposition of the motion to change venue.
