Brooke Armbrister v. The Federal Reserve of Kansas City

(Stanley Mosk Courthouse: Dept. 729) September 8, 2026 DEPARTMENT 729 LAW AND MOTION RULINGS

All parties are urged to meet and confer with all parties concerning this tentative ruling to see if they can reach an agreed-upon resolution of their matter. If you are able to reach an agreement, please notify the courtroom staff in advance of the hearing if you wish to submit on the tentative ruling rather than argue the motion by notifying the court by e-mailing the court at: SMCDEPT729@lacourt.ca.gov. Do not click on the email address, either copy and paste it or type it into your email. Include the word "SUBMITS" in all caps and the Case Number in the Subject line. In the body of the email, please provide the date and time of the hearing, your name, your contact information, the party you represent, and whether that party is a plaintiff, defendant, cross-complainant, cross-defendant, claimant, intervenor, or non-party, etc.

Please be advised that if you submit on the tentative and elect not to appear at the hearing, the opposing party may still appear at the hearing and argue the matter, and the court could change its tentative based upon the argument. Unless you receive a submission from all other parties in the matter, you should assume that others might appear at the hearing to argue. If you submit, but still intend to appear, include the words "SUBMITS, BUT WILL APPEAR" in the Subject line. If you elect to argue your matter, you are urged to do so remotely, via Court-Connect.

If the moving party fails to appear and/or submit to the Court's tentative ruling, the Court will take the matter off calendar. Note that once the Court has issued a tentative, the Court has the inherent authority not to allow the withdrawal of a motion and to adopt the tentative ruling as the order of the court. If you submitted a courtesy copy of your papers containing media (such as a DVD or thumb drive), unless you request the return of the media in your papers, the court will destroy it following the hearing of your matter.

CASE NAME: Brooke Armbrister v. The Federal Reserve of Kansas City

PLAINTIFF'S EX PARTE APPLICATION TO SET ASIDE DISMISSAL IS DENIED

Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 166 (a)(1), the Court will not entertain oral argument for ex parte application for relief. The Court finds that Plaintiff has not satisfied the requirement of California Rules of Court, rule 3.1202, subdivision (c), that an applicant for an ex parte order must make an affirmative factual showing in a declaration containing competent testimony based on personal knowledge of irreparable harm, immediate danger, or other statutory basis for granting relief ex parte.

Furthermore, on September 1, 2026, the Court in Department 729, the Honorable Daniel M. Crowley presiding, previously denied Plaintiff's Ex Parte Application for Reconsideration of Motion to Quash Order/Judgment, dismissing the Complaint without prejudice.

For all the foregoing reasons, the Ex Parte Application is DENIED. | Home -->)" -->
