Ruling

Defendant moves to strike “and reasonable attorneys fees” from page 8, line 21, prayer item no. 5 of the First Amended Complaint.

The court disregards Su’s argument concerning the claim for restitution at prayer item no. 3, which is raised for the first time in its reply. A moving party is required to state the grounds upon which a motion is made in its notice of motion. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1010.)

Plaintiffs did not file an opposition to this motion. Instead, Plaintiffs filed an opposition to defendant Providence St. Jude Medical Center’s motion to strike, which is not scheduled for hearing until 9/18/2026. (See ROA 44.)

Each party to a lawsuit must pay his or her own attorneys fees, unless a statute or contract provides otherwise. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1021; Samantha C. v. State Dept. of Developmental Services (2012) 207 Cal.App.4th 71, 78.)

Su to give notice.
