Background

This case arises from the sale of real property located at 2478 Glyndon Avenue, Los Angeles,
CA 90291. Defendant Allstar Financial Services, Inc., the lender on a loan secured by the
property, sought to sell the property at a non-judicial foreclosure sale. Plaintiff Alvin Cox
(“Plaintiff”) claims he was the highest bidder for the property under the provisions of a recently-

as codified by the Legislature at Civil Code § 2924m. The property and Defendant Allstar’s
attempted sale have given rise to multiple lawsuits which have been consolidated in whole or in
part with the initial suit brought by Sunrise Projects, LLC (“Sunrise”), Case Number
21SMCV00756.

Number 21SMCV01011 asserting causes of action against Defendant Allstar for violation of
Civil Code § 2924m, declaratory relief, unfair competition, and injunctive relief. Defendant
Allstar now moves for summary judgment, or, alternatively, summary adjudication as to every
cause of action asserted by Plaintiff Cox. Defendant’s motion is opposed by Plaintiff Cox and is
