Cross-Defendant Chiu's Motion for Mandatory Dismissal of Action is DENIED. In light of Cross-Complainant's dismissals, the motion boils down to whether the Cross-Complaint should be dismissed as to Tina Yan. It should not. A default was entered against Tina Yan on the original Cross-Complaint on May 24, 2022. The Court will not address whether the default has been "opened" because even if the default has been "opened," it has not been three years since the First Amended Cross-Complaint was filed on August 10, 2023. =(501/CFH)
