PRESTON MARKS VS. ELISE YAMAGUCHI ET AL

Real Property/Housing Court Law and Motion Calendar for June 10, 2025. Line 3. OSC RE: PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION is DENIED. The Court required Plaintiff to personally serve the Complaint, Summons, and moving papers. Plaintiff's substitute service without a declaration of diligence is thus improper. Moreover, Plaintiff has not shown a likelihood of success on the merits. The Court notes that there are severe issues with the purported lease's credibility based on the lease's brevity and content, the fact that the property owner did not sign it, Plaintiff's text messages that a judge "looked over it," and the mismatch in Defendant's signatures. =(501/CFH) Parties may appear in-person, telephonically or via Zoom (Video - Webinar ID: 160 560 5023; Password: 172849; or Phone Dial in: (669) 254-5252; Webinar ID: 160 560 5023; Password: 172849).
