TENTATIVE RULING

***NOTICE: EFFECTIVE APRIL 13, 2026, THIS DEPARTMENT HAS MOVED TO THE TANI G. CANTIL-SAKAUYE COURTHOUSE LOCATED AT 500 G STREET SACRAMENTO, CA. ALL MOTIONS NOTICED FOR DEPARTMENT 28 WILL BE HEARD IN DEPARTMENT 8C OF THE NEW COURTHOUSE. ALL PAPERS FOR THIS DEPARTMENT MUST BE FILED AT THIS NEW LOCATION AND WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AT THE HALL OF JUSTICE. ALL HEARINGS WILL TAKE PLACE AT THIS NEW LOCATION***

This matter was continued from June 8, 2026 because Debtor Clifton W. Alexander (“Debtor”) did not submit the second page of his Financial Statement containing information about his monthly expenses. Debtor was directed to file a completed Financial Statement with EDD by June 22, 2026. EDD was then ordered to file the completed Financial Statement and any supplemental opposition by June 29, 2026. Alternatively, if Debtor did not submit a new Financial Statement, EDD was ordered to file by June 29, 2026 a notice with the Court stating that no Financial Statement had been received.

Thus, the Court’s June 8 order obligated EDD to file something with the Court by June 29, 2026. However, as of the date of this ruling, nothing has been filed since the Court issued its June 8 order.

Accordingly, this matter is CONTINUED to August 17, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. in Department 8C. Debtor is ordered to file a completed Financial Statement (Judicial Council Form WG-007/EJ- 165) with EDD by no later than July 27, 2026. EDD shall file a completed Financial Statement with the Court, along with any supplemental opposition, by no later than August 3, 2026. If Debtor does not file a completed Financial Statement with EDD as ordered herein, EDD shall file a notice with the Court by no later than August 3, 2026 stating that no completed Financial Statement was received from Debtor.

If EDD does not file, by August 3, 2026, either Debtor’s completed Financial Statement and

EDD’s supplemental opposition or a notice that no completed Financial Statement was received, then the Court will grant the claim of exemption at the amount offered by Debtor.

The Clerk is directed to give notice of this ruling via mail.
