1 National Funding, Counsel Paris Page moves to be relieved as counsel of record for Defendant Inc. vs. Segler Segler Concrete Finishing LLC. For the following reasons, the motion Concrete Finishing is CONTINUED to September 24, 2026 at 01:30 PM in this Department. LLC Counsel Paris Page moves to be relieved as counsel of record for Defendant Scott Segler. For the following reasons, the motion is CONTINUED to 09/24/2026 in this Department.

The court record includes insufficient proof of service. The purported proof of service appears to include a clerical error, as it was signed 02/26/2026 states under penalty of perjury the moving papers were “served” three days in the future, on 03/02/2026. (See ROA # 54.)

The court record shows no opposition by Clients or any indication Defendants received notice of the motion and hearing date.

In addition, there is no proof the moving papers were not served on Plaintiff. The moving papers must be served on all parties who have appeared in the action, whether or not the motion seeks relief against such parties. (See Code Civ. Proc., § 1014 [requiring service of all papers on defendants after appearance].)

No later than nine (9) court days before the continued hearing, Moving Counsel shall file proof of service of all moving papers on Clients and on all parties who have appeared in this action.

Clients Segler Concrete Finishing LLC and Scott Segler may file and serve a response or opposition no later than five (5) court days before the continued hearing.

Moving Counsel shall provide notice of this ruling and continued hearing date on the client by non-electronic means and all parties who have appeared in this action.

1:30 p.m.

2 Hulsey vs. Nguyen Cross-Defendant Rickie Hulsey’s motion regarding satisfaction of judgment, determination of legal effect of tender, and to toll post-judgment interest is DENIED.

Cross-Defendant Rickie Hulsey moves for an order finding that Hulsey made good faith efforts to satisfy the judgment against him and to toll and stop the accrual of post-judgment interest under Code of Civil Procedure section 685.030. Hulsey contends that Hulsey obtained sufficient funds to satisfy the judgment in full, but that Hulsey was unable to complete payment due to the absence of a workable method for acceptance.

Cross-Complainant contends that a complete satisfaction of the judgment as of July 2025 was $36,758.24, consisting of $27,737.77 in principal and $9,020.47 in accrued interest from February 2023 through May 2026. Cross- Defendant tendered payment of $27,737.77 in July 2026. Because payments apply first to accrued interest, there is an unpaid principal balance of $9,020.47 still remaining.

Here, Cross-Defendant Hulsey does not provide any authority to stop the accrual of interest despite Hulsey’s payment of $27,737.77 in July 2026. Hulsey cites to Code of Civil Procedure section 685.030(b), which states: “If a money judgment is satisfied in full other than pursuant to a writ under this title, interest ceases to accrue on the date the judgment is satisfied in full.” (emphasis added).
