DEFENDANTS TIMOTHY OMI, PATTI MANGAN, FILLMORE MERCHANTS AND IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION'S, MOTION TO STRIKE AMENDED COMPLAINT.

Defendants Timothy Omi, Patti Mangan and Fillmore Merchants and Improvement Association's Motion to Strike Portions of Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint is OFF CALENDAR.

Defendants have not demonstrated their moving papers were timely served. (See Code of Civil Procedure section 1005(b) [motion must be filed and served 16 court days before hearing]; Code of Civil Procedure section 1013(a) [service by mail where place of address and place of mailing are within State of adds 5 calendar days to the period of notice]; see Code of Civil Procedure section 1010.6(a)(3)(B) [service by email adds two court days to "any period of notice"].)

Defendants served their moving papers on Plaintiff electronically on 2/20/2026, which is not 16 court days plus two court days before 3/20/2026, the hearing date noticed. The notice issues are heightened where, as here, no substantive opposition was filed.

Defendants must file a response to the First Amended Complaint within 20 days of this order.

The court further notes it did not receive courtesy copies of any papers. A failure to provide courtesy copies as required by the Local Rules is grounds to take the motion off calendar. (SFLR 2.7(B).)
