CV-22-000411 - PEREZ, AMALIA vs KAUR, BALJINDER - Plaintiff's Attorney's Motion to be Relieved as Counsel - CONTINUED, on the Court's own motion.

CV-24-002535 - QURESHI, FAYYAZ vs DE LA ROSA, MARIA - Defendant's Motion to Contest Good Faith Settlement - VACATED, at Defendant's request.

CV-25-007430 - CAPITAL ONE NA vs DEICHMAN, ROBERT - - Plaintiff's Motion to Vacate Judgment and Dismiss Action Without Prejudice - GRANTED, unopposed. Due to the automatic stay imposed by Defendant's bankruptcy filing of January 19, 2026, (Case No. 10178) unbeknownst to this Court, this Court lacked jurisdiction to proceed to issue and enter judgment in this matter on January 22, 2026. (11 U.S. Code Sec.362; Burton v. Infinity Cap. Mgmt., 862 F.3d 740 (9th Cir. 2017; In re LPM Corp., 269 B.R. 217 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 2001), aff'd, 300 F.3d 1134 (9th Cir. 2002) Said judgment is therefore void and subject to being set aside on that basis.(Civ. Proc. Code Sec. 473 (d); Biggs v. Biggs 1951) 103 Cal.App.2d 741). Accordingly, the judgment entered by the Court on January 22, 2026, is hereby vacated and set aside.
