The following are the tentative rulings for cases calendared before Judge David Hood in Department 24:

CV-23-002260 - CROWN ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC vs REYES, DIANA JASMINE - Plaintiff's Motion for Entering Judgment Pursuant to Defendant's Default Under Settlement and Release Agreement - DENIED, without prejudice. The court finds there to be a discrepancy between the sum for which Plaintiff's debt was settled and the sum Plaintiff claims Defendant should have paid pursuant to the Settlement. The Court finds it concerning that Defendant is supposed to now owe more than the sum the debt was settled for regardless of payments she has made towards said debt without the inclusion of interest. That cannot be correct. Therefore, the court finds that Plaintiffs have not demonstrated entitlement to the sum claimed. Accordingly, the motion is denied without prejudice.
