105 Moslehi vs. County of Orange
24-01428581 Motion to Vacate the Jury Trial
Plaintiff Arash Moslehi seeks an order vacating the jury trial and setting the case for bench trial. There is no proof of service accompanying the motion, and none of the remaining defendants has filed a response to the motion.
The motion is therefore denied for failure to comply with Code of Civil Procedure section 1005, which requires all moving papers to be served and filed at least 16 court days before the hearing. (CCP §1005(b).) In addition, a proof of service of the moving papers
must be filed no later than five court days before the hearing. (CRC 3.1300(c).)
Even if the motion were properly served, Defendant has provided no memorandum of authorities to support the relief requested. (See CRC 3.1113(a) (“The court may construe the absence of a memorandum as an admission that the motion . . . is not meritorious and cause for its denial . . .”).)
Finally, even if the Court considered the merits, the motion would be denied because at least one party has requested a jury trial in this matter and posted the required fees. (See, e.g., ROA 60.) “As a general proposition, the jury trial is a matter of right in a civil action at law, but not in equity.” (C & K Engineering Contractors v. Amber Steel Co., Inc. (1978) 23 Cal.3d 1, 8; NMSBPCSLDHB v. County of Fresno (2007) 152 Cal.App.4th 954, 958.) This is a civil action, and the complaint appears to consist primarily, if not entirely, of legal causes of action.
Accordingly, the motion is DENIED.
The Court orders the Clerk to give notice.
