FL-21-000664 – MARTINEZ VS RIVAS Petitioner’s Request for Order re “Other,” etc.—HEARING REQUIRED. Judgment in this matter was entered on January 2, 2024 and provided, in relevant part, that Respondent was awarded as her separate property “the Youngstown property and the vacant lot in Turlock” with the obligation to remove Petitioner’s name from the deed(s) and any loans within no more than six (6) months at the latest, with the Court reserving jurisdiction over this matter expressly.  (Judgment, p. 18 of 22, ¶ No. 2.)  Petitioner asks that the Court order Respondent to comply but the Judgment itself is already an order and the parties are each required to cooperate in effectuating the terms of the judgment.  Respondent’s declaration states that she has been diligently pursuing the necessary refinance but that Petitioner’s own actions have made the process more difficult and more expensive by unilaterally cancelling the homeowner’s insurance coverage and by unilaterally terminating the automatic bank payments to the lender.  It has been widely publicized and is a matter of common knowledge such that the Court may take judicial notice of the fact that major, nationwide insurance companies have been cancelling homeowner’s policies in California and have either sought to withdraw entirely from the California market or else are seeking large premium increases from the California Department of Insurance in order to remain in-market.  (Evid. Code, §§ 451(f) [Facts and propositions of generalize knowledge that are so universally known that they cannot reasonably be the subject of dispute]; 452(g) [Facts and propositions that are of such common knowledge within the territorial jurisdiction of the court that they cannot reasonably be the subject of dispute]; 455(a) [court may take judicial notice on its own motion provided parties are given the opportunity to be heard].)  As such, subject to the testimony and evidence that may be offered at the hearing, the Court is inclined to deny Petitioner’s request without prejudice or else continue the hearing to allow Respondent further time to comply with the Judgment.  Either way, the Court will continue to reserve jurisdiction over this issue and also the issue of whether either party’s conduct warrants the imposition of monetary sanctions and/or an award of fees and costs for failure to cooperate and comply with the terms of the Judgment.  (Fam. Code, § 271.) The following are the tentative ruling cases calendared before Judge J. Richard Distaso in Department #13: THERE ARE NO TENTATIVES. The following are the tentative ruling cases calendared before Judge Sweena Pannu in Department #14:
