Ruling

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A v. Robert Juarez 24CV002073

MOTION TO VACATE DISMISSAL AND ENTER JUDGMENT PURSUANT TO STIPULATION

TENTATIVE RULING: The motion is GRANTED. The Court will sign the Proposed Order and Proposed Judgment.

The moving party fails to include, in the notice of this motion, the current version of the Tentative Ruling notice required by Local Rule 2.9, effective 1/1/26. The current version allows a party or counsel to request a hearing by calling the Court or emailing the Court, at JudicialReception2@napa.courts.ca.gov and providing specified information set out in Local Rule 2.9. The moving party is therefore directed to immediately provide, by telephone call AND email, the current Tentative Ruling notice explicitly required by Local Rule 2.9 to opposing party/ies forthwith.

The requirements for requesting oral argument under Local Rule 2.9 remain in effect. However, the Court may grant belated requests for oral argument or continuance of hearing, made by any party who represents it did not timely receive the required notice, regardless of whether or not moving party is present at the hearing.

Plaintiff Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. move, pursuant to California Code of Civil procedure 664.6, to vacate the dismissal and enter Judgment pursuant to the Parties’ Stipulation.

The Court finds good cause for entering judgment based on the Parties’ stipulated settlement, filed February 7, 2025, this Court’s Order of February 14, 2025, and the Declaration of Edgar B. Lopez filed in support of the instant motion (Lopez Decl.). (See Hines v. Lukes (2008) 167 Cal.App.4th 1174, 1183 [entering appealable judgment on trial court order, entered after dismissal, that finally determined the rights of the parties in the action].) No opposition appears in the Court’s file.
