GUINASSO, FRANCES v. CITY OF LINCOLN

PLACER COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT THURSDAY, CIVIL LAW AND MOTION DEPARTMENT 3 THE HONORABLE MICHAEL W. JONES TENTATIVE RULINGS FOR AUGUST 13, 2026, AT 8:30 A.M.

A review of the court record reveals no proof of service of defendant’s motion or the court’s orders has been filed.

Accordingly, defendant’s motion is denied.

However, the court, on its own motion, sets aside the judgment entered on July 15, 2026. The complaint lists defendant’s address as “1601 Vineyard Road #1100, Roseville, California 95747.” Yet, the notice of trial sent by the court to defendant listed defendant’s address as “1601 Vineyard Road #110, Roseville, California 95747.” Accordingly, defendant did not receive notice of the trial due to the court’s error.

A case management conference is set for September 4, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in Department 1 for the parties to select a new trial date. Department 1 is located at 101 Maple Street Auburn, CA 95603.
