Cheung vs. D’Ambra

Plus, Plaintiff seems to suggest she is just adding DOE defendants and alter ego claims, however, Plaintiff is also attempting to add a 7th cause of action for Violation of California Civil Code Section 1950.5—which she fails to mention.

Moreover, the Proposed Second Amended Complaint appears to relate to facts that occurred after the filing of the initial complaint on 8/29/2024. [Motion, Ex.A.] Therefore, a Supplemental Pleading may be more appropriate. [CCP § 464(a).]
