Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. Yessica A Perez 24CV000032
MOTION TO VACATE DISMISSAL AND ENTER JUDGMENT PURSUANT TO STIPULATION
APPEARANCE REQUIRED. The Court takes judicial notice of the Stipulation filed in this action on April 27, 2026, indicating that the parties have entered into a novation of the original stipulated settlement. That novation appears to render the instant motion, to enforce the original stipulated settlement, MOOT. The Court, however, appears to retain jurisdiction,
pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 664.6, to enforce the most recent settlement. Counsel is ordered to address the foregoing.
The moving party fails to include, in the notice of this motion, the current version of the Tentative Ruling notice required by Local Rule 2.9, effective 1/1/26. The current version allows a party or counsel to request a hearing by calling the Court or emailing the Court, at JudicialReception2@napa.courts.ca.gov and providing specified information set out in Local Rule 2.9. The moving party is therefore directed to immediately provide, by telephone call AND email, the current Tentative Ruling notice explicitly required by Local Rule 2.9 to opposing party/ies forthwith.

Plaintiff Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. moves, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure §664.6, to vacate the dismissal and enter Judgment.
