JO ELLEN GREEN KAISER ET AL | Court Date: | | 2025-11-14 09:30 AM | Calendar Matter: | | DEMURRER to Amended COMPLAINT | Rulings: | | Real Property/Housing Court Law and Motion Calendar for November 14, 2025. Line 16. DEFENDANT JO ELLEN GREEN KAISER and DAVID ARAM KAISER, DEMURRER to Amended COMPLAINT.
The Court will treat this motion as a Motion to Strike. Based on the arguments made in the demurrer, as clarified in the Reply, 4:2-4, moving party seeks to address "the untrue allegations that Plaintiffs are the owners of the Property and are making a claim for damages to the property they do not own." None of the causes of action asserted in the operative complaint arise solely to the damages to real property. Plaintiffs also allege personal injury and loss of personal property.
The Court will grant the motion to strike, striking the untrue allegations that Plaintiffs are the owners of the Property (e.g. paragraph 29) and all references to damages to the real property. Motion is granted with leave to amend for each Plaintiff to allege standing in their individual capacity at the time (1) the original complaint was filed; and/or (2) at the time the amended complaint was filed; including facts showing that the statute of limitations has not run at that time.
To the extent Plaintiffs are making a request for leave to amend to add a new Plaintiff, the request is denied without prejudice to bring a motion for leave to amend. Plaintiff shall have 60 days to file an amended complaint. If Plaintiffs wish to add a new Plaintiff before an amended complaint pursuant to this ruling is filed, Plaintiff shall file and calendar their motion for leave to amend to be heard prior to the expiration of 60 days.
Defendant's Request for Judicial Notice of Ex. A is granted re: legal effect of the document. Defendants' Request for Judicial Notice of Ex. B is GRANTED as to the existence of the document. =(501/REQ)
