Captial One, N.A. vs. Ward

23CVG-01215
CAPITAL ONE, N.A. VS. WARD
Case Number: 23CVG-01215
Tentative Ruling on Motion for Order that Matters in Request for Admission of Truth of Facts be
Admitted: Plaintiff Capital One, N.A. seeks an order deeming the truth of matters specified in Plaintiff’s Request
for Admissions, Set One. Despite being timely served, Defendant Leah Ward did not file an Opposition.
When a party fails to respond to a request for admission, the requesting party may move for an order deeming the
genuineness of documents and the truth of matters specified in the requests admitted. CCP § 2033.280(b). Failure
to respond also waives any objections to the discovery propounded. CCP § 2033.280(a). Plaintiff’s moving papers
sufficiently demonstrate that Defendant has failed to respond to the Request for Admissions within the required
time frame.
Unlike a motion to compel further responses, a motion to compel responses when no responses have been
provided does not require the propounding party to demonstrate good cause or that it satisfied a meet-and-confer
requirement. Sinaiko Healthcare Consulting, Inc. v. Pacific Healthcare Consultants (2007) 148 Cal. App. 4th
390. Despite there being no requirement to meet and confer, Plaintiff sent a meet and confer letter to Defendant,
through her former counsel, prior to filing the motion.
Monetary sanctions are mandatory per CCP 2033.280(c), however, Plaintiff did not seek monetary sanctions and
provided no evidence regarding attorney’s fees or other costs associated with bringing the motion. Sanctions
should only be imposed for “reasonable” expenses. CCP § 2023.030. The Court does not have information upon
which to make a finding that any amount of sanctions were for reasonable expenses and should not impose
sanctions.
The motion is GRANTED. Defendant is deemed to have admitted as true each of the items contained in
Plaintiff’s Request for Admissions, Set One. Objections are waived. Plaintiff provided a proposed Order that
will be executed by the Court. The Court confirms the trial date of January 21, 2025.

Capital One, N.a. vs Yates
Jul 26, 2024 |

23CV46838
DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO ACKNOWLEDGE TITLE 48 CFR
AFFIDAVIT PRESENTED AS LETTER OF ROGATORY
On July 24, 2023, Capital One, N.A. (“Plaintiff”) filed a Complaint for common counts or
account stated against Deanna K. Yates (“Defendant.”) Defendant filed a response on
December 4, 2023.
Defendant now moves “to Acknowledge Title 48 CFR International Commercial Affidavit
Presented as Letter of Rogatory.” Plaintiff opposes the motion. For the reasons set forth
below, the Motion is denied.
The motion does not comply with Local Rule 3.3.7. All matters noticed for the Law &
Motion calendar shall Include the following language in the notice:
3.3.7 Tentative Rulings (Effective 1/1/18) All parties appearing on the Law
and Motion calendar shall utilize the tentative ruling system. Tentative
Rulings are available by 2:00 p.m. on the court day preceding the
scheduled hearing and can be accessed either through the court's website
or by telephoning 209-754-6285. The tentative ruling shall become the
ruling of the court, unless a party desiring to be heard so advises the
Court no later than 4:00 p.m. on the court day preceding the hearing
including advising that all other sides have been notified of the intention to
appear by calling 209-754-6285. Where appearance has been requested
or invited by the Court, all argument and evidence Is limited pursuant to
Local Rule 3 3. All matters noticed for the Law & Motion calendar shall
Include the following language in the notice:
Pursuant to Local Rule 3 3 7, the Court will make a tentative ruling on the
merits of this matter by 2:00 p.m. the court day before the hearing. The
complete text of the tentative ruling may be accessed on the Court's
website or by calling 209-754-6285 and listening to the recorded tentative
ruling. If you do not call all other parties and the Court by 4:00 p.m. the
court day preceding the hearing, no hearing wiII be held and the tentative
ruling shall become the ruling of the court [emphasis in original.]
Failure to include this language in the notice may be a basis for the Court to
deny the motion.
While the Court has authority to deny the motion on this ground alone, in the interests of
justice it has considered the substantive merits of the Defendant’s motion and denies
the motion on that basis.
Legal Analysis
Defendant appears to be arguing that Plaintiff’s complaint is invalid on the grounds of
what is known as the Sovereign Citizen Movement. The Sovereign Citizen movement is
a “loose grouping of litigants, commentators, and tax protestors who often take the
position that they are not subject to state or federal statutes and proceedings.” (United
States v. Weast (5th Cir. 2016), 811 F.3d 743, 746 fn. 5.) In essence, subscribers to this
movement will show up in court “asserting various theories to the effect the court has no
jurisdiction over them.” (Ibid.)
Courts across all jurisdictions have consistently designated these types of arguments as
frivolous.(See e.g., United States v. Studley (9th Cir. 1986), 783 F.2d 934, 937, fn. 4 [the
sovereign citizen argument has been “consistently and thoroughly rejected by every
branch of the government for decades. Indeed advancement of such utterly meritless
arguments is now the basis for serious sanctions imposed on civil litigants who raise
them”]; (U.S. v. Benabe, (7th Cir. 2011, 54 F.3d 753, 767 [such theories that a
“sovereign citizen” is beyond the jurisdiction of the courts “should be rejected
summarily, however they are presented”]; Ceja v. Birkholz, CV 22-1636-FWS(E) (C.D.
Cal. May 3, 2022) [citing numerous cases finding sovereign citizen claims to be frivolous
and without merit].)
California courts may exercise jurisdiction “on any basis not inconsistent with the
Constitution of this state or of the United States.” (Code of Civil Procedure §410.10.)
This Court has personal jurisdiction because Defendant was properly served with the
Summons and Complaint at her residence of 4628 S. Burson Rd., Valley Springs, CA
95252. As regards subject matter jurisdiction this “relates to the inherent authority of the
court involved to deal with the case or matter before it.” (Varian Medical Systems, Inc. v.
Delfino (2005), 35 Cal.4th 180, 186.) The Defendant has failed to make any valid
argument that the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction.
Based on the foregoing, Defendant’s motion is DENIED.
The Clerk shall provide notice of the Ruling forthwith. No further formal Order is
required.
