GREGORY P. MANDANIS PRO PER CITY OF FOSTER CITY CAROLINE E. ROGERS

DEFENDANT CITY OF FOSTER CITY’S MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS

TENTATIVE RULING:

The City of Foster City’s unopposed Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings is DENIED without prejudice.

Defendant served its motion by email, notwithstanding that the court’s file does not indicate that the pro per plaintiff has agreed to accept service by email. Mamdanis has not responded to the motion. Accordingly, there is an insufficient showing that Mamdanis has received notice of the motion. It thus appears the court “lacks jurisdiction to rule on a motion that has not been properly noticed for hearing on the date in question.” (Diaz v. Professional Community Management, Inc. (2017) 16 Cal.App.5th 1190, 1204–1205.)

If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the court. Thereafter, defendant’s counsel shall prepare a written order consistent with the court’s ruling for the court’s signature, pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1312 and Local Rule 3.403(b)(iv), and provide written notice of the ruling to all parties who have appeared in this action. The order should be e-filed only, do not email or mail a hard copy to the court.
