Plaintiff's Motions for (1) Sanctions; (2) To Continue the Settlement Conference; and (3) To Compel Responses to Discovery
Case No.: VCL296115 Date: June 8, 2026 Time: 8:30 A.M. Dept. 9-The Honorable Nathan D. Ide Motion: Plaintiff's Motions for (1) Sanctions; (2) To Continue the Settlement Conference; and (3) To Compel Responses to Discovery
Tentative Ruling: On May 11, 2026, this Court deemed Plaintiff a vexatious litigant and, following an evidentiary hearing, entered an order requiring Plaintiff to post an undertaking in the amount of $25,000 within 30 days in order to proceed with this action and entered a prefiling order under section 391.7 requiring approval of the Presiding Judge from filing any new litigation.
"If an order to furnish security is issued, the action is automatically stayed from the time the motion was filed until 10 days after the plaintiff posts the required security." (Code Civ. Proc. Sec. 391.6.) Therefore, this action is stayed pending the posting of the security or expiration of the 30 day period in which to post the security.
As such, the Court continues these motions to June 15, 2026, 8:30 am, Dept. 9 after the expiration of the 30 day period.
If no one requests oral argument, under Code of Civil Procedure section 1019.5(a) and California Rules of Court, rule 3.1312(a), no further written order is necessary. The minute order adopting this tentative ruling will become the order of the court and service by the clerk will constitute notice of the order.
Court reporters are usually not available for law and motion matters in the civil division. The parties and counsel must provide their own reporter if they want a transcript of the proceedings.
