Synchrony Bank vs. Caudillo, Angel

Case No.: PCL195930 Date: July 14, 2026 Time: 8:30 A.M. Dept. 19-The Honorable Russell P. Burke Motion: Plaintiff's Motion to Vacate Entry of Judgment and Dismiss Case Tentative Ruling: To grant the motion and dismiss the case as requested by Plaintiff Facts and Analysis In this matter, after Plaintiff obtained default judgment, but upon review of the file has confirmed fraud occurred with respect to the account at issue and therefore requests the default and default judgment be set aside and that this case be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 473(b).

The Court, therefore, grants the motion, vacates default and default judgment and dismisses this matter. If no one requests oral argument, under Code of Civil Procedure section 1019.5(a) and California Rules of Court, rule 3.1312(a), no further written order is necessary. The minute order adopting this tentative ruling will become the order of the court and service by the clerk will constitute notice of the order. Court reporters are usually not available for law and motion matters in the civil division.

The parties and counsel must provide their own reporter if they want a transcript of the proceedings. Re: Ritchie, Rhonda vs. Karman, Timothy et al
