WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. VS. MEIJUAN FENG

Matter on calendar for Tuesday, August 12, 2025, Line 4, PLAINTIFF WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT.

Plaintiff Wells Fargo Bank N.A.'s unopposed motion for summary judgment is granted.

A party may move for summary adjudication in an action or proceeding if it is contended that the cause of action has no merit. (Code Civ. Proc., Sec. 437c(a)(1).) The motion for summary adjudication shall be granted if all the papers submitted show that there is no triable issue as to any material fact. (Id., Sec. 437c(c).) The moving party must make an initial showing, based upon affirmative evidence, that summary adjudication must be granted. (Aguilar v. Atlantic Richfield Company (2001) 25 Cal.4th 826, 850.)

If the movant meets this initial burden, the burden then shifts to the opposing party to show that a triable issue of one or more material facts exists. The court liberally construes the evidence in support of the party opposing summary adjudication and resolves doubts concerning the evidence in favor of that party. (Hughes v. Pair (2009) 46 Cal.4th 1035, 1039.) The moving party bears the burden of persuasion "from the commencement to conclusion" to show "that there is no triable issue of material fact and that [it] is entitled to [summary adjudication] as a matter of law." (Ibid.)

Here, Wells Fargo has produced evidence sufficient to show it is entitled to judgment on its breach of contract cause of action and its common counts / money lent cause of action in the form of the Wieck Declaration and its attachments. Defendant Meijuan Feng presents no evidence to rebut or undermine its showing. The court grants summary judgment.
