Dana Maria Sepulveda Morales v. David S. Kim et al 25CV001559
PLAINTIFF DANA MARIA SEPULVEDA’S MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF PRIVATE ATTORNEYS’ GENERAL ACT SETTLEMENT
TENTATIVE RULING: The matter is continued to October 6, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. B. The moving party failed to provide sufficient notice of the motion. (See Code Civ. Proc., §§ 12c, subds. (a) and (b), 1005, subd. (b), and 1010.6, subd. (a)(3)(B).) Electronic service occurred on August 13, 2026. The last day for service was August 11, 2026. Because the other parties have not waived the defective service, the Court is without jurisdiction to hear the motion. (Diaz v. Prof. Cmty. Mgmt., Inc. (2017) 16 Cal.App.5th 1190, 1204-05 [“The court lacks jurisdiction to rule on a motion that has not been properly noticed for hearing on the date in question.”].)
The moving party is directed to provide timely service of the moving papers and to file proof of such service. The moving party is instructed to review the local rules and comply with Local Rule 2.9 with the amended notice. The moving party may also want to consider making sure the approximate size of the class of PAGA Members is presented clearly via declaration.
