LAW & MOTION TENTATIVE RULINGS DEPARTMENT 5 April 16, 2026 8:30 a.m./1:30 p.m.

16. JAMIE LUPER V. RICHARD LIMING PFL20180266

Petitioner filed a Request for Order (RFO) on January 23, 2026, following the court’s denial of her ex parte application for emergency custody orders. The parties were referred to Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC) with an appointment on February 20, 2026, and a review hearing on April 16, 2026. There is no Proof of Service showing Respondent was properly served.

Both parties appeared at CCRC, however, Respondent did not participate as he asserted he had not been properly served with the moving papers. Despite this, the CCRC counselor produced a report with recommendations. It was filed with the court on March 27, 2026 and copies were mailed to the parties the same day.

Respondent filed a Responsive Declaration on April 3, 2026. It was served on Petitioner on April 3, 2026. Respondent objects to the court hearing the matter as he was never properly served. Further, there are Domestic Violence Restraining Orders out of Sacramento County, which protect the minors.

The court drops the matter from calendar due to the lack of proper service. All prior orders remain in full force and effect.
