Line 3 23CV417347 Jia Liang v. Kuan William Plaintiff Jia Liang’s motion enter judgment. Notice is not proper Wu (there is no proof of service), but defendant Kuan William Wu filed a timely opposition.

The matter settled at a mandatory settlement conference. A stipulation re settlement attached to plaintiff’s motion indicates defendant agreed to pay plaintiff $45,000 in installments. Under the terms of the stipulated settlement, defense “Attorney Sara Linder will prepare and file the judgment.” That never occurred.

Plaintiff contends defendant is in breach of the settlement because instead of a $2,000 payment to plaintiff, defendant paid plaintiff $1,100 and paid the remaining $900 to a mediator to pay for plaintiff’s share of mediation fees. Plaintiff disputes that the mediator is owed those fees.

The court finds no material breach of the settlement on this record. Any dispute about the mediation fees must be resolved outside of court between plaintiff and the mediator.

The court grants plaintiff’s motion to the extent it merely seeks to enter judgment. Because defense counsel never lodged a proposed judgment, plaintiff is ordered to lodge a proposed judgment for the court’s review. That judgment must restate the terms of the stipulation re settlement, without adding any other information.

The matter is set for a hearing on dismissal after settlement on January 21, 2027, at 10:00 a.m. in Department 10. The proposed judgment must be lodged for the court’s review before the next hearing. The court will prepare the order.
