1. Tanksley vs. Thomas 2021-01196198
Before the court is the hearing on the order to show cause why an order for sale of dwelling should not issue relating to property located at 25238 Clemens Lane, Lake Forest, California 92630 and owned by judgment debtor Craig Allen Thomas (Debtor). The order to show cause was entered on June 15, 2026, based on the application of judgment creditor Joseph Crevier (Creditor). For the reasons set forth below, the hearing is continued to THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2026, AT 2:00 P.M., IN DEPARTMENT C23.
The court previously found Creditor’s application satisfied the statutory requirements and therefore the court entered the order to show cause and instructed Creditor to give notice as required by Code of Civil Procedure section 704.770. (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 704.750, 704.760, 704.770; see ROA 236.) Section 704.770 requires the application, order to show cause, and a notice of hearing in the form prescribed by the Judicial Council be served by mail or personally on the judgment debtor at least 30 days before the hearing, and also must be personally served on the occupant(s) of the dwelling or, if there is no occupant present at the time service is attempted, posted in a conspicuous place at the dwelling.

Failure to do so may result in the order to show cause being vacated. Creditor is ordered to give notice of this ruling.
2. Jessica Hernandez vs. AMCP Holdings 2025-01475407
Before the court is the continued hearing on the order to show cause as to the sale of the dwelling at 17391 Breda Lane, Huntington Beach, California 92649 that was issued on the application of assignee and judgment creditor 1st Integrity Capital of America LLC (Creditor). Based on the application, the court issued to order to show cause on May 6, 2025, and set the hearing on the order for June 12, 2025. Prior to that date, the parties submitted a stipulation and order to continue the hearing to August 21, 2025, while they discussed a possible resolution.
Prior to the continued hearing date, Creditor submitted a status report explaining the property was jointly owned by defendant and judgment debtor Chris Pitts (Debtor) and his spouse, Debtor and his spouse are engaged in ongoing dissolution of marriage proceedings, and the judge in the dissolution of marriage proceeding indicated ownership of the property must be resolved in that case before any sale can be ordered. Accordingly, on August 21, 2025, the court ordered the hearing on the order to show cause continued to this date to wait further proceedings in the dissolution case.
Since that time, the court has continued the hearing on the order to show cause two additional times to allow the family law case to proceed. The court last conducted a hearing on the order to show cause of June 4, 2026. At that time, Creditor reported the family law trial had commenced, but was then continued for further evidence regarding this property.
Since the last hearing, the court has not received any further updates from the parties. It appears, however, the family law court completed the trial on June 30, 2026, and issued a ruling awarding the property at issue to Debtor’s spouse as her sole and separate property. Creditor’s counsel is ordered to appear at the hearing (remote appearance is acceptable) to confirm the status of the family law matter and address how the court should
