Daisey Tate vs. MasterCorp Inc.

August 21, 2026 Case Management Conference Tentative Rulings

1. CL0001165 Victor Navarrete vs. Jennin Valentine Martinez, et al. No appearances are required. This case is at issue. Jury fees were paid in conjunction with a jury demand filed by Plaintiff.

In light of the Plaintiff’s case management statement, the Court sets a court / non-jury trial and related dates as follows:

Trial: July 14,15, and 16, 2027 at 8:30 a.m. each day, Dept. A PTC: June 29, 2027 at 1:30 p.m., Dept. A MSC: June 17, 2027 at 9:00 a.m., Dept. A (See, LR 4.02)
