Court of California County of Los Angeles - Central District Department 513 Sofia Alvares Valladares, et al.; Plaintiffs,

vs. Hongyu Yi; Defendant. | Case No.: |

| | | Hearing Date: | August 31, 2026 | | | Time: | 10:00 a.m. | | | [Tentative] Order RE: Order to Show Cause Re: Entry of Default Judgment | Order to Show Cause Re: Entry of Default Judgment

Plaintiffs Sofia Alvares Valladares and Consuelo Valladares ("Plaintiffs") filed a Request for Court Judgment by default and other default judgment documents on May 28, 2026. However, the Declarations of the Plaintiffs filed May 28, 2026 pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 585 are incomplete because they rely on documents purportedly "filed separately under Exhibits in Support of Judgment and attached thereto as Exhibit A." (Consuelo Valladares Decl. P. 5; Sofia Valladares Decl. P. 6.) No such filing exists in the court's records. The court will therefore permit a further continuance to allow Plaintiffs to correct this omission.
