1. Cliff Warren Investments, Inc.'s Motion to Enforce Stipulated Judgment by Entering Judgment for Money

Cliff Warren Investments, Inc.'s Motion to Enforce Stipulated Judgment by Entering Judgment for Money is granted.

Background

Plaintiff filed the Complaint on May 12, 2025. This is a residential UD action as to 40 5 th St., Hermosa Beach, CA 90254. Motion to Enforce Settlement Agreement CCP Sec. 664.6 states: "If parties to pending litigation stipulate, in a writing signed by the parties outside the presence of the court or orally before the court, for settlement of the case, or part thereof, the court, upon motion, may enter judgment pursuant to the terms of the settlement. If requested by the parties, the court may retain jurisdiction over the parties to enforce the settlement until performance in full of the terms of the settlement."

Plaintiff contends that the parties entered into an Unlawful Detainer Stipulation and Judgment ("Stipulation") executed on August 22, 2025. (Decl., Eileen Glynn, Ex. 1). Plaintiff states that Defendant breached the terms of the Stipulation. According to Plaintiff, Defendant has failed to make the payment due on February 1, 2026. (Id. at P. 5).

The Court notes that Defendant failed to file any written opposition to the motion. Therefore, the Court determines that Plaintiff has met its burden to establish that a breach of the Stipulation agreement exists such that a judgment, pursuant to the terms of the Stipulation agreement, may be ordered. Thus, Plaintiff's Motion to Enforce Stipulated Judgment by Entering Judgment for Money is granted. Plaintiff is ordered to give notice of this ruling. | Home -->)" -->
