10:00 AM 15 Sandoval vs. Riverside County
CVRI2502556
Defendant’s Demurrer to Amended Complaint The Court previously issued a tentative ruling (ROA 370) that proposed overruling Riverside Superior Court’s (RSC) and Does 1- 100’s demurrer in its entirety. At the hearing, RSC advanced new arguments about judicial immunity that weren’t fully briefed in the moving papers. The Court continued the hearing on the demurrer and ordered supplemental briefing on judicial immunity.
For the reasons set forth below, the demurrer is OVERRULED. However, given the state of judicial immunity case law in California, all parties should be aware that the Court will not consider injunctive relief against RSC or Does 1-100 on the present record, only declaratory relief.
Defendant RSC shall file its answer by June 12, 2026.
GROUNDS FOR RULING
I. Prior Tentative Ruling
