Notwithstanding these filings, Coldwell, on July 15, 2026, filed a “Notice of No Opposition Filed Against its Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings” (“Notice of No Opposition”) in which Coldwell represents “as of the date of filing, there is no opposition identified or posted on the Court’s website” and further that Coldwell, as of the date of this filing “has not received an opposition via email or mail.” (Notice of No Opposition at 2:3-5, 2:6-7; see also Declaration of B. Gardiner McKleroy ¶¶ 3, 4.)

Given Coldwell’s representation that it was not properly served with any opposition to this motion, the Court CONTINUES the hearing date on this motion. In doing so, the Court orders Plaintiff to serve her opposition on Coldwell no later than July 30, 2026. Plaintiff must also file a proof of service demonstrating service of the opposition no later than August 6, 2026. Plaintiff should be aware that the Court will only consider the opposition papers which have been served on Coldwell. Coldwell is permitted to file a reply responding to the opposition papers served by Plaintiff.

The reply must be filed and served no later than August 20, 2026. Other than the filings as allowed above, no further briefing is permitted without leave of Court. The minute order is effective immediately. No formal order pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1312, or further notice is required.

On the Court's own motion, the Hearing on Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings scheduled for 07/23/2026 is continued to 08/27/2026 at 09:00 AM in Department 16C at Tani G. Cantil- Sakauye Courthouse.
