SF Superior Court - Real Property / Housing Dept 501 - CGC23610551 - August 7, 2025 Hearing date: August 7, 2025 Case number: CGC23610551 Case title: U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION VS. THE TESTATE AND INTESTATE SUCCESSORS OF JULES ET AL Case Number: | | CGC23610551 | Case Title: | | U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION VS. THE TESTATE AND INTESTATE SUCCESSORS OF JULES ET AL | Court Date: | | 2025-08-07 09:30 AM | Calendar Matter: | | MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Or In The Alternative Summary Adjudication | Rulings: | | Real Property/Housing Court Motion calendar for August 7, 2025, line 9.

Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment or in the Alternative Summary Adjudication is DENIED. The Court will not consider evidence in support of its Amended Motion that was not included in its original motion because the Amended Motion was filed on May 9, 2025, which is less than 81 days before the July 16, 2025 hearing date. As a result, the Court will consider Mr. Bridgman's declaration as the only evidence in support of the original motion. Accordingly, summary judgment and adjudication are not appropriate.

As successors in interest following a merger, U.S. Bank is the proper Plaintiff and does not need to register with the California Secretary of State to file suit. Additionally, Defendant's evidence does not shift the burden regarding whether the wrong Defendant was named, whether reformation and declaratory relief are inappropriate, or whether Defendant needed to bring this claim under the Probate Code. =(501/CFH)
