Motion to Vacate Judgment
34-2020-00278366-CU-BC-GDS: Temblor Petroleum Company, LLC a Delaware Limited Liability Company vs. California Energy Exchange Corporation 01/23/2026 Hearing on Motion to Vacate Judgment (Vern Jones Oil & Gas) in Department 23
Tentative Ruling
NO APPEARANCE REQUIRED
Defendant Vern Jones Oil & Gas Corporations motion to vacate judgment is DENIED. The Court is not persuaded by Plaintiffs argument that the Court lacks jurisdiction because the authorities Plaintiffs cite do not address the situation here where a court previously denies a motion to vacate judgment without prejudice as premature because judgment had not been entered as of the motions filing. The Court has reviewed and considered all papers filed in connection with this motion but finds no basis to grant the relief requested. Accordingly, the motion is DENIED.
To request oral argument on this matter, you must call Department 23 at 916-874-5754 by 4:00 p.m., the court day before this hearing and notification of oral argument must be made to the opposing party/counsel. If no call is made, the tentative ruling becomes the order of the court. (Local Rule 1.06.)
