Line 1.1. DEFENDANT ARTHUR TRAYNOR Motion To Deem Plaintiff Sarah Lewis A Vexatious Litigant is DENIED.

As a preliminary matter, Defendant's Request for Judicial Notice purports to attach several exhibits (A-Z+), however, no documents are included. This matter has already been continued for courtesy copies, the Court will not continue the matter on this basis again.

With respect to the cases Defendant includes in his reply, defendant includes this case (which is ongoing) and another case (CFP-24-519595) which has not been decided on the merits. Accordingly, Defendant fails to establish that in the immediately preceding seven-year period, Plaintiff has commenced, prosecuted, or maintained in propria persona at least five litigations other than in a small claims court that have been (i) finally determined adversely to the person or (ii) unjustifiably permitted to remain pending at least two years without having been brought to trial or hearing. (CCP 391(a).) =(501/CFH)
