MOTION TO ENTER JUDGMENT PURSUANT TO CCP 664.6

TENTATIVE RULING:

Plaintiff American Express National Bank’s Motion to Enter Judgment Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure, section 664.6 is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

The Notice of Motion provides an incorrect address for the hearing. Department 28 is located at 800 N. Humboldt Street, San Mateo, California 94401. Plaintiff is to provide defendant with the correct address of the hearing in any future motion.

Further, the Stipulation provides that if defendant fails to make payments, then plaintiff may have judgment entered against defendant for $4,078.56, plus court costs, less any amounts received by plaintiff from defendant. (Stipulation, ¶ 6.) Plaintiff’s counsel states that defendant has defaulted in the payment agreement, by not making payments according to the terms. (Ren Decl., ¶ 7.) Plaintiff’s counsel further states that “Defendant failed to make payments.” (Ibid.) Plaintiff’s counsel implies that no payments have been made by defendant, but this wording does not unequivocally state that defendant failed to make any payments. The declaration also does not address whether defendant is entitled to credit for any payments received. Therefore, any future motion is required to provide a supporting declaration that specifically addresses this issue.

If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the court. Thereafter, plaintiff’s counsel shall prepare a written order consistent with the court’s ruling for the court’s signature, providing written notice of the ruling to all parties who have appeared in this action, pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1312 and Local Rule 3.403(b)(iv), which states in part that the “prevailing party on a tentative ruling is required to prepare a proposed order repeating verbatim the tentative ruling” (emphasis added). The order should be e-filed only, do not email or mail a hard copy to the court.
