Case Number: 25NWLC60484 Hearing Date: August 19, 2026 Dept: Y 25NWLC60484: WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. vs SOON CHUL HONG

The Court has read and reviewed all moving documents filed by Plaintiff Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Plaintiff") in support of its motion for summary judgment, including the separate statement and supporting evidence.

Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment was filed on May 28, 2026 and set for hearing on August 19, 2026. Since it was served electronically on counsel for Defendant, Plaintiff's motion provides sufficient notice. No opposition has been filed by Defendant Soon Chul Hong ("Defendant").

The Court finds that Plaintiff has met the initial burden of showing that there are no defenses to its cause of action for breach of contract by proving each element of the cause of action entitling Plaintiff to summary judgment. Plaintiff has shown with admissible evidence that Defendant applied for and executed a personal loan agreement with Plaintiff; Defendant agreed to repay the loan pursuant to the terms of the agreement; Plaintiff performed under the terms of the agreement including funding the loan; the loan statements for the subject account were sent to Defendant; and Defendant did not dispute any of the charges on the monthly billing statements for the subject personal loan account. (Plaintiff's Separate Statement, Undisputed Material Facts Nos. [UMF] 1-9.)

The evidence also shows that Defendant's last payment on the subject account was on January 15, 2025 in the amount of $654.29 and that Defendant owes Plaintiff the unpaid balance on the subject account of $23,607.98. (Id., UMF Nos. 10-12.)

The burden having shifted to Defendant, the Court finds Defendant has failed to set forth specific facts showing that a triable issue of material fact exists as to any of the elements of the causes of action for breach of contract or that there is any defense thereto required by Code of Civil Procedure section 437c(p)(1).

The Court finds that Plaintiff is entitled to judgment as a matter of law and GRANTS Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment as to its cause of action for breach of contract. Judgment is hereby entered in favor of Plaintiff Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and against Defendant Soon Chul Hong in the principal sum of $23,607.98, plus reasonable attorney's fees and costs. The Proposed Order will be signed by the Court. Plaintiff must submit a Memorandum of Costs and a declaration in support of reasonable attorney's fees as well as a Proposed Judgment for the Court's review and signature Plaintiff to give notice.

Case Number: 25NWLC75606 Hearing Date: August 19, 2026 Dept: Y 25NWLC75606: LVNV FUNDING LLC vs VIVIANA E LARIOS MIRANDA Tentative Ruling: The Court has read and reviewed the moving papers filed by Plaintiff LVNV Funding LLC ("Plaintiff") in support of its Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, including the meet and confer letter dated June 23, 2026. No opposition has been filed by Defendant Viviana E. Larios Miranda ("Defendant").

Pursuant to California Evidence Code sections 452 and 453, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff's request for the Court to take judicial notice of: Plaintiff's Complaint filed on December 15, 2025; The Court's Order Deeming Plaintiff's Requests for Admission as Admitted entered on June 24, 2026; and Plaintiff's Motion to Deem Requests for Admission Admitted, and the Requests for Admission submitted in support of that motion, filed on May 14, 2026.

The Court finds the Request for Admissions admitted cannot reasonably be controverted at this stage of the proceedings. The Request for Admissions are tantamount to Defendant admitting the causes of action alleged by Plaintiff.
