Following its own independent review and analysis, the Court agrees with Judge Fineman’s reasoning and conclusions and adopts that reasoning as its own. The Court has considered the arguments raised by the parties, including those not expressly discussed herein, and finds that none warrants a different result. Accordingly, for the reasons articulated in Judge Fineman’s ruling and independently determined by this Court, the Motion to Quash is DENIED.

If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the Court. Thereafter, counsel for the prevailing party shall prepare a written order consistent with this ruling for the Court’s signature, pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 3.1312, and provide notice of the ruling to all appearing parties as required by law. The Court further directs the parties’ attention to revised Local Rule 3.403(b)(iv) (eff. Jan. 1, 2024) regarding the form of proposed orders.
