Citibank NA v. Saed, Marleen

A review of the court’s file reveals no evidence plaintiff served notice of continued hearing on defendant as the court had directed. The motion to enforce settlement is therefore denied without prejudice.

2. M-CV-0094263 Citibank NA v. Saed, Marleen

Motion to deem admitted plaintiff’s requests for admissions, set one

Plaintiff moves to deem admitted plaintiff’s requests for admissions, set one.

Section 2033.280 of the California Code of Civil Procedure states “[i]f a party to whom requests for admission are directed fails to serve a timely response... (b) [t]he requesting party may move for an order that the genuineness of any documents and the truth of any matters specified in the requests be deemed admitted.”

Defendant did not file an opposition.

Plaintiff’s unopposed motion to deem admitted plaintiff’s requests for admissions, set one, is granted. (Code Civ. Proc., § 2033.280 (b).) Defendant is deemed to have admitted the matters set forth in plaintiff’s requests for admissions, set one.

4. S-CV-0050523 Patel, Ragini v. Kaur, Manjit

Defendant is advised the notice of motion must include notice of the court’s tentative ruling procedures. (Local Rule 20.2.3(C).)

Motion to Sever or Bifurcate

Defendant Tawfiq Morrar moves to bifurcate trial. (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 598, 1048, subd. (b).) Specifically, defendant moves to bifurcate the issue of qualified immunity under Civil Code section 2924(b) from the other issues to be determined at trial. Plaintiff Ragini Patel opposes the motion.

Plaintiff’s request for judicial notice is granted as to exhibits A through D to the extent they are filed court records. However, the court does not take judicial notice of the information alleged and declared in exhibits A through C.

As issues of trial management are generally best addressed by the trial judge, the motion to bifurcate is denied without prejudice to being renewed at the time of trial.
