SF Superior Court - Law & Motion / Discovery Dept 301 - CGC23608569 - November 12, 2025 Hearing date: November 12, 2025 Case number: CGC23608569 Case title: LI CHANG KUANG VS. KENNY WONG ET AL Case Number: | | CGC23608569 | Case Title: | | LI CHANG KUANG VS. KENNY WONG ET AL | Court Date: | | 2025-11-12 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | MOTION TO QUASH SERVICE OF SUMMONS OR STAY OR DISMISS | Rulings: | | On the Law and Motion/Discovery calendar for November 12, 2025, line 4. DEFENDANT KENNY WONG'S MOTION TO QUASH SERVICE OF SUMMONS OR STAY OR DISMISS.
Defendant Kenny Wong's motion to quash service of summons is DENIED. "When a defendant challenges the court's personal jurisdiction on the ground of improper service of process, the burden is on the plaintiff to prove the existence of jurisdiction by proving, inter alia, the facts requisite to an effective service." (Summers v. McClanahan (2006) 140 Cal.App.4th 403, 413 [internal quotation marks, citation, and footnote omitted].)
Plaintiffs Li Chang Kuang and Tommy Chan presented adequate evidence in their counsel's declaration to carry their burden that effective service was made. Defendant Wong's argument that Defendant Park Avenue Banning, Inc. was not properly served is moot. Only Defendant Kenny Wong is opposing this motion; there is no indication that Defendant Park Avenue Banning, Inc.
