SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO

24CV018792: ONEMAIN FINANCIAL GROUP, LLC vs PARKER 08/05/2026 Hearing on Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings in Department 8C

This is a consumer collection action in which Plaintiff alleges breach of contract.

Plaintiff’s request for judicial notice is granted.

When the moving party is the plaintiff, there is only one ground for a motion for judgment on the pleadings: “the complaint states facts sufficient to constitute a cause or causes of action against the defendant and the answer does not state facts sufficient to constitute a defense to the complaint.” (CCP § 438(c)(1)(A).) The grounds for the motion shall appear on the face of the challenged pleading or from any matter of which the court is required to take judicial notice. (CCP § 438 (d).). The Court properly takes judicial notice of the fact that defendant has admitted the allegations of the Complaint.

Indeed, the Court will take judicial notice of records, such as admissions, answers to interrogatories, affidavits, and the like, when considering a demurrer [or motion for judgment on the pleadings] (Hibernia Savings & Loan Soc. v. Thornton (1897) 117 Cal. 481, 482; Morris v. Harbor Boat Bldg. Co. (1952) 112 Cal.App.2d 882, 886; Del E. Webb Corp. v. Structural Materials Co. (1981) 123 Cal.App.3d 593, 604- 605.)

Thus, on a motion for judgment on the pleadings, the Court may extend consideration to matters that are subject to judicial notice; in doing so, the Court performs essentially the same task as ruling on a general demurrer. (Smiley v. Citibank (1995) 11 Cal.4th 138, 146.) Additionally, the Court must disregard all controverted allegations in the complaint and accept all facts properly pleaded in the answer. (Sebago, Inc. v. City of Alameda (1989) 211 Cal.App.3d 1372, 1379-1380.) “A motion by plaintiff for judgment on the pleadings is in the nature of a general demurrer, and the motion must be denied if the defendant's pleadings raise a material issue or set up affirmative matter constituting a defense.” (MacIsaac v.

Pozzo (1945) 26 Cal.2d 809, 812-813.) The Court assumes the truth of all material allegations in the challenged pleading no matter how improbable. (Sisemore v. Master Financial, Inc. (2007) 151 Cal.App.4th 1386, 1397.)

Here, the complaint properly alleges the requisite allegations for breach of contract. Further, Plaintiff’s requests for admission have been deemed admitted. Specifically, Defendants have admitted that Defendants owe Plaintiff at least $9,467.38 on their account and that the affirmative defenses asserted in this matter lack merit and evidentiary support

While Defendants filed an answer, the later admissions take precedence over the contrary allegations in the answer. (Del E. Webb Corp., supra, 123 Cal.App.3d at 604- 605 ['The court will take judicial notice of records such as admissions, answers to

interrogatories, affidavits, and the like, when considering a demurrer, only where they contain statements of the plaintiff or his agent which are inconsistent with the allegations of the pleading before the court'].) '[A] deemed admitted order establishes . . . that a nonresponding party has responded to the requests by admitting the truth of all matters contained therein. (Wilcox v. Birtwhistle (1999) 21 Cal.4th 973, 983.)

No opposition was filed to this motion. A party’s failure to oppose a motion is construed as a concession on the merits of the motion. (See D.I. Chadbourne, Inc. v. Superior Court (1964) 60 Cal.2d 723, 728, n.4.)

Based upon the facts deemed admitted by Defendants, the motion for judgment on the pleadings is GRANTED WITHOUT LEAVE TO AMEND.

The minute order is effective immediately. No formal order pursuant to CRC Rule 3.1312 or other notice is required.

Plaintiff shall submit a proposed judgment for issuance.
