BURTON vs LANDER

24CV102357: BURTON vs LANDER 09/01/2026 Initial Case Management Conference in Department 22

Tentative Ruling - 08/28/2026 Han N. Tran

The Court has ordered the following after review of the case.

Case Management Conference is scheduled for 11/10/2026 at 3:00 PM in Department 22 at Rene C. Davidson Courthouse.

In its 6/2/26 Order, the Court ORDERED plaintiff to comply with Rules of Court, rule 3.110(g) and to seek entry of default against defendant for failing to respond to the operative complaint.

Plaintiff has failed to do so. The Court again ORDERS plaintiff to comply with Rules of Court, rule 3.110(g) and to seek entry of default against defendant for failing to respond to the operative complaint.

The Court is giving plaintiff one last opportunity to comply.

Failure to do so may result in an ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE in re $500 SANCTIONS and/or DISMISSAL for failure to comply with Rules of Court, rule 3.110(g) and failure to comply with the orders of this Court.

Rule 3.110(g) provides: “Request for entry of default- If a responsive pleading is not served within the time limits specified in this rule and no extension of time has been granted, the plaintiff must file a request for entry of default within 10 days after the time for service has elapsed. The court may issue an order to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed if the plaintiff fails to timely file the request for the entry of default.”

Plaintiff failed to file a Case Management Conference Statement and therefore violated California Rules of Court, rule 3.725. Plaintiff is admonished and ordered to file a Case Management Statement before the next hearing.

Plaintiff must file updated Case Management Statements in compliance with California Rules of Court, rule 3.725, on Judicial Council Form CM-110, no later than 15 calendar days before the hearing. If the foregoing date is a court holiday or a weekend, the time is extended to the next business day.

Clerk is directed to serve copies of this order, with proof of service, to counsel and to selfrepresented parties of record.
