CAVALRY SPV I, LLC AS ASSIGNEE OF CITIBANK, N.A. VS VOVOS

1. CASE # CASE NAME HEARING NAME CAVALRY SPV I, LLC AS MOTION TO QUASH SERVICE OF CVCO2603413 ASSIGNEE OF CITIBANK, N.A. SUMMONS VS VOVOS Tentative Ruling: Moving party: Defendant Chrissy Vovos Responding party: Plaintiff Cavalry SPV I, LLC

Motion filed: 6/15/2026 Opposition filed: 8/7/2026 Reply filed: None available on eCourt as of 8/17/2026

Plaintiff’s proof of service reflects personal service under CCP § 415.10. The proof of service, executed by registered California process server Peter Rhima, Registration No. 6779, states that he “delivered the documents to CHRISSY VOVOS with identity confirmed by subject stating their name” and that “[t]he individual accepted service with direct delivery” on May 13, 2026, at 8:11 p.m. (Marbella III Decl. ¶ 3, Ex. 1.) It also provides a physical description: “blonde-haired white female contact 35-45 years of age, 5’4”-5’6” tall and weighing 140-160 lbs with a tattoo.” (Id.) This return establishes a presumption of valid service. (Am. Express Centurion Bank, supra, 199 Cal.App.4th at 390; Evid. Code § 647.)

Defendant’s declaration asserts that a “male walked into the garage where [her] 17-yearold son and his friends were and handed papers to [her] son, telling him he had 30 days to respond and walked away.” (Vovos Decl. ¶ 2.) However, Defendant does not directly controvert the process server’s detailed physical description of the person served. Defendant states only that her son called her “shortly after” and reported that "some scary guy came in the garage . . . and gave him some papers.” (Id.) She offers no evidence as to her own whereabouts at 8:11 p.m. on May 13, 2026.

More significantly, Defendant’s own declaration establishes that she had contemporaneous notice of the service. She states that her son “called [her] shortly after” the papers were delivered and “facetimed [her] to show [her] the documents that were handed to him.” (Vovos Decl. ¶ 2.) The address where service occurred—2198 Turnberry Ln, Corona, CA 92881-7439—is also Defendant’s own address as listed on her motion papers. (Pl.’s Mot. to Quash p. 1.)

Plaintiff’s counsel also submitted evidence that on or about December 9, 2025, its counsel sent Defendant correspondence advising that a lawsuit was imminent to the same address, and that correspondence was not returned as undeliverable, confirming that the address was valid and that Defendant resided there. (Marbella III Decl. ¶ 4, Ex. 2.)

Based on the foregoing, Defendant has not met her burden to rebut the presumption of valid service. The process server’s detailed physical description and confirmation of identity by name remain unrebutted.

In sum, Plaintiff has carried its burden of proving valid personal service under CCP §

415.10 by a preponderance of the evidence. Defendant has not presented sufficient evidence to overcome the presumption of validity afforded to the registered process server’s return.

Therefore, the motion to quash service of summons is DENIED.
