TENTATIVE RULING

***NOTICE: EFFECTIVE APRIL 13, 2026, THIS DEPARTMENT HAS MOVED TO THE TANI G. CANTIL-SAKAUYE COURTHOUSE LOCATED AT 500 G STREET SACRAMENTO, CA. ALL MOTIONS NOTICED FOR DEPARTMENT 28 WILL BE HEARD IN DEPARTMENT 8C OF THE NEW COURTHOUSE. ALL PAPERS FOR THIS DEPARTMENT MUST BE FILED AT THIS NEW LOCATION AND WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AT THE HALL OF JUSTICE. ALL HEARINGS WILL TAKE PLACE AT THIS NEW LOCATION***

Plaintiff/Judgment Creditor Arora Solutions, LLC’s (“Plaintiff”) motion to amend judgment is CONTINUED to September 9, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. in Department 8C so that Plaintiff may effectuate proper service on Defendant in pro per Matt DeLima (“Defendant”), as directed below. Additionally, Defendant’s motion to vacate judgment, filed on June 23, 2026, is ADVANCED to September 9, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. in Department 8C so that it may be heard in conjunction with Plaintiff’s motion to amend judgment.

The proof of service indicates that the moving papers were served on Defendant via electronic

service only. Electronic service on an unrepresented party is only effective if the unrepresented party has expressly consented to receive electronic service. (Code Civ. Proc. § 1010.6(c).) There is no indication that Defendant has expressly consented to receive electronic service.

The Court observes that the proof of service for the original moving papers that were filed on June 29, 2026 states that service was made via mail and electronic service. However, this does not establish effective service, since the hearing was subsequently advanced on July 2, 2026, with Plaintiff filing new moving papers with the advanced hearing date. The Court also notes that the mailing address listed for Defendant in both proofs of service does not match the address listed on Defendant’s motion to vacate judgment filed on June 23, 2026, before this motion was filed. Thus, it is not clear that service of the operative moving papers would have been effective even if the proof of service had indicated that service was made by mail.

Plaintiff shall serve the moving papers, including a notice of motion with the continued hearing date, on Defendant via mail at the following addresses: (1) 1925 46th Ave, Apt. 85, Capitola, CA 95010; and (2) 3678 Lake Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150. Plaintiff shall file proof of service by no later than August 12, 2026. The notice of motion shall also include the information regarding the Court’s tentative ruling system as required by Local Rule 1.06.

Opposition and reply papers, if any, shall be due pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1005(b) based off of the continued hearing date.

Defendant is directed to file and serve a notice of change of address per California Rules of Court rule 2.200. Plaintiff shall include a copy of this ruling when serving the moving papers pursuant to the directions above.
