Tentative Ruling The Court GRANTS Petitioner’s Petition changing petitioner’s name to Carmen Liliana Bonilla Morales. Analysis The Petition appears properly filled out and otherwise sufficient. Petitioner is a 63 year-old female residing in Simi Valley. The CLETS run came back with no disqualifying hits. It does not appear that Petitioner is under the jurisdiction of the CDCR (Code Civ. Proc., §1279.5, subd. (c)) or a registered sex offender (Code Civ. Proc., §1279.5, subd. (f)). 2024CUPT025243: IN THE MATTER OF: LILIANA WALKER The Court’s May 29, 2024 OSC ordered Petitioner to publish a copy of the OSC in the Ventura County Star for four consecutive weeks, as required by Code of Civil Procedure, section 1277, subdivision (a). Proof of publication has been filed and the petition will be granted.

Case Number: 24STCP01521 Hearing Date: July 15, 2024 Dept: 9 The criminal history assessment that the Courts Clerks Office has run through CLETS reveals that Petitioner has multiple active outstanding warrants. Reference #W317936055 and #W960254166 Petitioner must clear the outstanding warrant and file evidence of such before the Court will rule on the petition for name change. The OSC and hearing on the petition for name change are continued to September 9, 2024 at 9:30 am. No later than two weeks before the continued OSC and hearing, Petitioner must file written proof that the outstanding bench warrant has been fully addressed and resolved. Failure to do so will result in the OSC and hearing on the petition being taken off calendar without prejudice to be placed back on calendar upon filing of proof that all outstanding warrants have been cleared. The Court Clerk is to run a new criminal history assessment prior to the continued OSC to verify that the warrant has been cleared. In addition, no proof of publication has been filed. Petitioner must file proof of publication no later than one week before the continued (September 9, 2024) hearing date. Failure to do so will result in denial and dismissal of the petition without prejudice. Court Clerk to give notice. The Court Clerk is to give notice to all parties.

FL-19-002701 – WHITTAKER VS GRAY Petitioner’s Request for Order re Enforce Judgment, etc.—HEARING REQUIRED. The Court finds that proof of service is on file and reflects valid and timely individual mail service of Respondent as required.  (Fam. Code, § 215(a).)  Respondent did not file a Responsive Declaration or written opposition.  Consequently, the Court is inclined to grant the requested relief.  However, a final judgment is already an “order” that the parties are bound to comply with and a further order to comply by the Court would be redundant.  That said, Petitioner’s claims all relate to that part of the judgment dealing with division of pension plans and this has not been accomplished due to Respondent’s non-cooperation.  Accordingly, the Court will not further delay proceedings by again ordering Respondent’s cooperation and, instead, finds good cause to appoint the clerk of the Court as elisor to sign the QDRO and other necessary papers on Respondent’s behalf.  But Petitioner must first submit a proposed order with the exact documents to be signed attached to it for review and approval by the Court.  (Local Rules, rule 7.08(A).)  Petitioner is free to use all the means to obtain information provided by the Civil Discovery Act if documents or other information has not been provided by Respondent.  (Fam. Code, § 218.)  And the Court will reserve jurisdiction over the issue of monetary sanctions against Respondent for the necessity of Petitioner having to file post-judgment motions to obtain Respondent’s compliance.
