Motion for sanctions
/ / / Case Number: 25NNCV00931 Hearing Date: August 14, 2026 Dept: E / / / / /
The Court's tentative is to GRANT the Plaintiff's motion and to impose the sanctions requested by Plaintiff.
The Court simply does not understand why this issue of the account number has become such a momentous, insuperable obstacle to finally resolving this matter. The defense's arguments do not, frankly, make a lot of sense to the Court. The Court does not fully understand what this kerfuffle is about: Didn't the defendant agree to pay a certain amount to Lightstream? Is there some concern that if it sends a check to Lightstream as agreed it will go to the wrong place?
Not much about this current tempest in a teapot makes sense to the Court and it all feels, frankly, close to a misuse of judicial time and resources. The Court will expect counsel to explain to the Court why this issue has become the subject of a noticed motion and much spilled ink. / / / /
