2 The Irvine Motion to Compel Reference and to Appoint Referee Company LLC vs. Hacatoryan Plaintiff The Irvine Company, LLC’s Motion to Compel Corporation Reference and to Appoint a Referee is DENIED. 30-2024- The Court overrules Defendants’ objection to Kroll’s 01418952-CU- BC-CJC declaration and exhibit 1 to the declaration. (See Condee v. Longwood Management Corp. (2001) 88 Cal.App.4th 215, 218-219.)

Plaintiff waived its right to compel reference under the lease by participating in litigation for 22 months and presenting no explanation for the delay. (See Hofer v.

Defendants declare they retained attorney Dan Miller to represent them in the action and paid him for legal services, believing he would represent all named defendants.
