2025-01491400 Motion for Summary Judgment and/or Adjudication
On defendant Kern River Corridor Endowment and Holding Co., Inc.’s motion for summary judgment on the complaint of plaintiff Thomas Vogele & Associates, APC, the court is inclined to continue the hearing pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 437c(h) for Plaintiff to conduct and complete discovery as described in the Lewis Declaration.
The court will hear from counsel on this, and on whether the trial should be continued as well.
Code of Civil Procedure section 437c(h) states that “[i]f it appears from the affidavits submitted in opposition to a motion for summary judgment . . . that facts essential to justify opposition may exist but cannot, for reasons stated, be presented, the court shall deny the motion, order a continuance to permit affidavits to be obtained or discovery to be had, or make any other order as may be just.”
The decision to grant or deny a continuance request under section 437c(h), is vested in the trial court’s discretion. Braganza v. Albertson’s LLC (2021) 67 Cal.App.5th 144, 152 (citation omitted). Continuance requests under section 437c(h), are to be liberally
