Motion to Quash Summons; Motion to be Relieved
June 5, 2026 Dept. 9 Tentative Rulings
2. 26CV0710 Motion to Quash Summons Motion to be Relieved
Defendant moves in pro per for the court to quash service of the summons and complaint on her. Proof of service of her motion was filed on April 17, 2026. The motion attaches two declarations. Defendant’s declaration states she was not the person who was personally served the complaint. Ms. Familia, her landlord, stated she was the person provided the documents. Ms. Familia states she did not identify herself as defendant, stated Defendant was not there, was not advised that service was being attempted and would not have indicated she was authorized to accept service. Ms. Familia is not a member of the same household. No opposition has been filed to the motion. The court finds the declarations are undisputed at this time and therefore grants the motion.
