24CV082452: ARTECH REALTY CORP vs 24K POLE DANCE STUDIO LLC, et al. 08/06/2026 Hearing on Motion - Other Motion for Assignment Order and Restraining Order; filed by Artech Realty Corp (Plaintiff) CRS# 927262791642 in Department 23
Tentative Ruling - 08/03/2026 Ruben Sundeen
This is a breach of contract action arising from the alleged failure of Defendants Delan Li (Li) and 24K Pole Dance Studio LLC (Studio) to pay Plaintiff Artech Realty Corporation (Artech) a commission of $18,000. On October 11, 2024, Artech obtained a default judgment against Li and Studio in the amount of $18,151.30. On or about March 27, 2025, Artech assigned the default judgment to E. Galvez doing business as Collectrix. On 4/14/2026, Collectrix filed an Acknowledgment of Reassignment of Judgment stating that Collectrix withdraws the right to enforce the judgment and authorizes Artech to recover, compromise, settle, and enforce the judgment against Li and Studio (collectively, Judgment Debtors).
On 5/26/2026, Artech filed this motion seeking an assignment order of payments, accounts, and receivables due or to become due to Judgment Debtors from third-party obligors, and a restraining order.
For the reasons discussed below, the motion is GRANTED IN PART.
DISCUSSION
Upon noticed motion by the judgment creditor, a court may order a judgment debtor to assign to the creditor the right to payments due, or to become due, from rents, commissions, royalties, and other sources. (Code Civ. Proc. (CCP) § 708.510(a).)
The judgment creditor must serve the motion on the debtor personally or by mail. (Id., § 708.510(b).) Artech served Judgment Debtors with notice of this motion and the Court did not receive an opposition.
In determining whether to order an assignment, the court may consider the following factors under CCP § 708.510(c):
(1) The reasonable requirements of a judgment debtor who is a natural person and of persons supported in whole or in part by the judgment debtor;
(2) Payments the judgment debtor is required to make or that are deducted in satisfaction of other judgments and wage assignments, including earnings assignment orders for support;
(3) The amount remaining due on the money judgment;

(Grundon Decl. pp. 2-4, Exs. 1-6.) Artech also asserts that other third parties (specifically, instructors who teach at 24K Pole Dance Studio) may make payments to Judgment Debtors in the form of rent, usage fees, splits, or commissions in exchange of the use of studio space. (Id. at p. 4, Ex. 7.)
According to Artech, no payment has been made on the judgment, and the entire balance of $18,151.30, plus interest accruing at the statutory rate, remains due. (Grundon Decl. p. 1.) As noted above, Judgment Debtors did not oppose this motion and presented no contrary evidence regarding their reasonable financial requirements or other factors under section 708.510(c).
The Court GRANTS the request for an assignment order on payments due and payable from the third parties identified in the motion, made in connection with the 24K Pole Studio, to the extent necessary to satisfy the judgment. (CCP § 708.510(d).) The motion is denied to the extent Artech requests assignment of unidentified payors.
Restraining Order
A judgment creditor may also request an order restraining the judgment debtor from assigning or otherwise disposing of the right to payment that is sought to be assigned. (CCP § 708.520(a).) The court may issue a restraining order upon a showing of need for the order, and may, in its discretion, require an undertaking. (Id., § 708.520(b).) The restraining order shall be personally served upon the judgment debtor and shall contain a notice to the judgment debtor that failure to comply with the order may subject the judgment debtor to being held in contempt of court. (Id., § 708.520(d).)
Artech seeks an order restraining Judgment Debtors because they could readily defeat the assignment by switching to new platforms, opening new merchant accounts in alternative names, redirecting bookings to substitute payees, or routing apparel sales through different processors. (Mot. at p. 5.) The request for a restraining order is DENIED without prejudice to renewing the motion upon an evidentiary showing of need.
ORDER
Artechs Motion for an Assignment Order pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 708.510 is GRANTED. Artechs request for a restraining order is DENIED without prejudice.
The Court was unable to locate the proposed order referenced in the papers in eCourt. Artech is ORDERED to lodge the proposed order for the Courts review within seven 7 days of this order, and email the proposed order to Department 23 at dept23@alameda.courts.ca.gov.
