SIERRA PACIFIC WAGE AND HOUR CASES Case Number: 5235 Tentative Ruling on Case Management Conference: This coordinated proceeding is on calendar for a Case Management Conference. The Court has reviewed the Case Management Conference Statements filed by all parties. STAY. The McDonald matter remains stayed pending appeal. The Court notes that the parties in the Smith case recently submitted a Stipulation and Order seeking a stay of that matter. This was returned by the clerk due the proposed order not being lodged separately. Additionally, the Stipulation was not fax filed and did not contain original signatures. STAFFING AGENCY EMPLOYEES. The Court anticipates receiving a Stipulation and Order in the McDonald case that seeks to change the Court’s previous ruling that employes placed at SPI by staffing agencies fall under the class definitions. The Court has an obligation to all class members and intends to discuss the reasons for this change at today’s hearing. The Court expects that any Stipulation presented will clearly provide valid reasons for this proposed change. DISCOVERY. The Courts notes Plaintiff McDonald’s frustration with not receiving discovery from SPI during the stay. The Court is not able to rule on any discovery issues during the stay and parties are not obligated to provide discovery during the stay. FURTHER CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE DATE.

FL-24-001220 – GUALDERAMA VS GUALDERAMA Respondent’s Request for Order re Spousal Support, etc.—HEARING REQUIRED. The only request besides spousal support is for division of community property, but the Court does not divide assets one at a time, but altogether at the end of the case, at least normally.  For good cause, the Court may “bifurcate” an asset or issue and conduct an early and separate trial, but Respondent’s motion did not follow the procedures that permit the Court to grant such a motion.  That said, since the prior dissolution case already divided most of the community property and decided most of the contested issues before it was dismissed, it would be in the parties’ best interests to resolve this case quickly and the parties are themselves free to divide their remaining community property however they wish.  They simply need to submit a stipulation and order to the Court that reflects their agreement.  The Court’s Self-Help Center offers free assistance with legal forms and procedures.

Parties, and counsel if represented, are ordered to appear personally or remotely for settlement conference in Department 2. You must notify the court and all other parties that you intend to appear remotely using form RA-010. In addition to providing notice, a Zoom link must be requested no later than one (1) court day before the hearing and shall be submitted to the Court through the Court’s website at https://www.amadorcourt.org/gi-zoomRequestForm.aspx.
