Note
March 9, 2018 Jacksonville Florida
[Date} [City] [State]
11006 FAWNWOOD CT, Bryceville, FL 32009
[Property Address}
1. Borrower's Promise to Pay. In return for a loan that I have received, I promise to pay U.S. $244,200.00 (this
amount is called “Principal”, plus interest, to the order of the Lender. The Lender is Navy Federal Credit Union. I will
make all payments under this Note in the form of cash, check or money order.
I understand that the Lender may transfer this Note. The Lender or anyone who takes this Note by transfer and who is
entitled to receive payments under this Note is called the “Note Holder”.
2. Interest. Interest will be charged on unpaid principal until the full amount of Principal has been paid. I will pay
interest at a yearly rate of 5.250%.
The interest rate required by this Section 2 is the rate I will pay both before and after any default described in Section 6(B)
of this Note.
3. Payments.
(A) Time and Place of Payments. I will pay principal and interest by making a payment every month.
I will make my monthly payment on the Ist day of each month beginning on May 1, 2018. I will make these payments
every month until I have paid all of the principal and interest and any other charges described below that I may owe
under this Note. Each monthly payment will be applied as of its scheduled due date and will be applied to interest
before Principal. If, on April 1, 2048, I still owe amounts under this Note, I will pay those amounts in full on that date,
which is called the “Maturity Date”.
I will make my monthly payments at 820 Follin Lane, Vienna, VA 22180 or at a different place if required by the Note
Holder.
(B) Amount of Monthly Payments. My monthly payment will be in the amount of U.S. $1,348.48.
4, Borrower's Right to Prepay.
T have the right to make payments of Principal at any time before they are due. A payment of Principal only is known as a
“Prepayment”, When I make a Prepayment, I will tell the Note Holder in writing that I am doing so. I may not designate a
payment as a Prepayment if I have not made all the monthly payments due under the Note.
I may make a full Prepayment or partial Prepayments without paying a Prepayment charge. The Note Holder will use
my Prepayments to reduce the amount of Principal that I owe under this Note. However, the Note Holder may apply my
Prepayment to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Prepayment amount, before applying my Prepayment to reduce the
Principal amount of the Note. If I make a partial Prepayment, there will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of
my monthly payment unless the Note Holder agrees in writing to those changes.
5. Loan Charges. If a law, which applies to this loan and which sets maximum loan charges, is finally interpreted so
that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with this loan exceed the permitted limits,
then: (a) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and
(b) any sums already collected from me which exceeded permitted limits will be refunded to me. The Note Holder may
choose to make this refund by reducing the Principal I owe under this Note or by making a direct payment to me. Ifa
refund reduces Principal, the reduction will be treated as a partial Prepayment.
6. Borrower's Fallure to Pay as Required.

payment by the end of fifteen calendar days after the date it is due, I will pay a late charge to the Note Holder. The
amount of the charge will be 4.000% of my overdue payment of principal and interest.

the overdue amount by a certain date, the Note Holder may require me to pay immediately the full amount of Principal
which has not been paid and all the interest that I owe on that amount. That date must be at least 30 days after the date
on which the notice is mailed to me or delivered by other means.
(D) No Walver By Note Holder. Even if, at a time when I am in default, the Note Holder does not require me to
pay immediately in full as described above, the Note Holder will still have the right to do so if I am in default at a later
time.
{E) Payment of Note Holder's Costs and Expenses. If the Note Holder has required me to pay immediately
in full as described above, the Note Holder will have the right to be paid back by me for all of its costs and expenses
in enforcing this Note to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Those expenses include, for example, reasonable
attorneys’ fees.
7. Giving of Notices. Unless applicable law requires a different method, any notice that must be given to me under this
Note will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to me at the Property Address above or at a different
address if I give the Note Holder a notice of my different address.
Any notice that must be given to the Note Holder under this Note will be given by delivering it or by mailing it by first
class mail to the Note Holder at the address stated in Section 3(A) above or at a different address if I am given a notice of
that different address.
8. Obligations of Persons Under This Note. If more than one person signs this Note, each person is fully and
personally obligated to keep all of the promises made in this Note, including the promise to pay the full amount owed.

keep all of the promises made in this Note. The Note Holder may enforce its rights under this Note against each person

Dishonor. “Presentment” means the right to require the Note Holder to demand payment of amounts due. “Notice of
Dishonor” means the right to require the Note Holder to give notice to other persons that amounts due have not been paid.
10. Uniform Secured Note. This Note is a uniform instrument with limited variations in some jurisdictions. In addition
to the protections given to the Note Holder under this Note, a Mortgage, Deed of Trust, or Security Deed (the “Security
Instrument”), dated the same date as this Note, protects the Note Holder from possible losses that might result if 1 do not
keep the promises which I make in this Note. That Security Instrument describes how and under what conditions I may be
required to make immediate payment in full of all amounts I owe under this Note. Some of those conditions are described
as follows:
If all or any part of the Property or any Interest in the Property is sold or transferred (or if Borrower is not a natural
person and a beneficial interest in Borrower is sold or transferred) without Lender's prior written consent, Lender may
require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument. However, this option shall not be
exercised by Lender if such exercise is prohibited by Applicable Law.
If Lender exercises this option, Lender shall give Borrower notice of acceleration. The notice shall provide a period of
not less than 30 days from the date the notice is given in accordance with Section 15 within which Borrower must pay
all sums secured by this Security Instrument. If Borrower fails to pay these sums prior to the expiration of this period,
Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by this Security Instrument without further notice or demand on Borrower.
11, Documentary Tax. The state documentary tax due on this Note has been paid on the mortgage securing this
indebtedness.

TOGETHER WITH all the improvements now or hereafter erected on the property, and all easements,
appurtenances, and fixtures now or hereafter a part of the property. All replacements and additions
shall also be covered by this Security Instrument. All of the foregoing is referred to in this Security
Instrument as the “Property.”
BORROWER COVENANTS that Borrower is lawfully seised of the estate hereby conveyed and has
the right to mortgage, grant and convey the Property and that the Property is unencumbered, except for
encumbrances of record. Borrower warrants and will defend generally the title to the Property against
all claims and demands, subject to any encumbrances of record.
THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT combines uniform covenants for national use and non-uniform
covenants with limited variations by jurisdiction to constitute a uniform security instrument covering
real property.
Uniform Covenants. Borrower and Lender covenant and agree as follows:
1, Payment of Principal, Interest, Escrow Items, Prepayment Charges, and Late
Charges. Borrower shall pay when due the principal of, and interest on, the debt evidenced by the
Note and any prepayment charges and late charges due under the Note. Borrower shall also pay funds
for Escrow Items pursuant to Section 3. Payments due under the Note and this Security Instrument
shall be made in U.S. currency. However, if any check or other instrument received by Lender as
payment under the Note or this Security Instrument is returned to Lender unpaid, Lender may require
that any or all subsequent payments due under the Note and this Security Instrument be made in one
or more of the following forms, as selected by Lender: (a) cash; (b) money order; (c) certified check,
bank check, treasurer's check or cashier's check, provided any such check is drawn upon an institution
whose deposits are insured by a federal agency, instrumentality, or entity; or (d) Electronic Funds
Transfer.
Payments are deemed received by Lender when received at the location designated in the Note or
at such other location as may be designated by Lender in accordance with the notice provisions in
Section 15. Lender may return any payment or partial payment if the payment or partial payments are
insufficient to bring the Loan current. Lender may accept any payment or partial payment insufficient
to bring the Loan current, without waiver of any rights hereunder or prejudice to its rights to refuse
such payment or partial payments in the future, but Lender is not obligated to apply such payments at
the time such payments are accepted. If each Periodic Payment is applied as of its scheduled due date,
then Lender need not pay interest on unapplied funds. Lender may hold such unapplied funds until
Borrower makes payment to bring the Loan current. If Borrower does not do so within a reasonable
period of time, Lender shall either apply such funds or return them to Borrower. If not applied earlier,
such funds will be applied to the outstanding principal balance under the Note immediately prior
to foreclosure. No offset or claim which Borrower might have now or in the future against Lender
shall relieve Borrower from making payments due under the Note and this Security Instrument or
performing the covenants and agreements secured by this Security Instrument.

2. Application of Payments or Proceeds. Except as otherwise described in this Section 2,
all payments accepted and applied by Lender shall be applied in the following order of priority:
(a) interest due under the Note; (b) principal due under the Note; (c) amounts due under Section 3.
Such payments shall be applied to each Periodic Payment in the order in which it became due. Any
remaining amounts shall be applied first to late charges, second to any other amounts due under this
Security Instrument, and then to reduce the principal balance of the Note.
If Lender receives a payment from Borrower for a delinquent Periodic Payment which includes a
sufficient amount to pay any late charge due, the payment may be applied to the delinquent payment
and the late charge. If more than one Periodic Payment is outstanding, Lender may apply any payment
received from Borrower to the repayment of the Periodic Payments if, and to the extent that, each
payment can be paid in full. To the extent that any excess exists after the payment is applied to the
full payment of one or more Periodic Payments, such excess may be applied to any late charges due.
Voluntary prepayments shall be applied first to any prepayment charges and then as described in the
Note.
Any application of payments, insurance proceeds, or Miscellaneous Proceeds to principal due under
the Note shall not extend or postpone the due date, or change the amount, of the Periodic Payments.
3. Funds for Escrow Items. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the day Periodic Payments are
due under the Note, until the Note is paid in full, a sum (the “Funds”) to provide for payment of
amounts due for: (a) taxes and assessments and other items which can attain priority over this Security
Instrument as a lien or encumbrance on the Property; (b) leasehold payments or ground rents on
the Property, if any; (c) premiums for any and all insurance required by Lender under Section 5;
and (d) Mortgage Insurance premiums, if any, or any sums payable by Borrower to Lender in lieu
of the payment of Mortgage Insurance premiums in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.
These items are called “Escrow Items.” At origination or at any time during the term of the Loan,
Lender may require that Community Association Dues, Fees, and Assessments, if any, be escrowed
by Borrower, and such dues, fees and assessments shall be an Escrow Item. Borrower shall promptly
furnish to Lender all notices of amounts to be paid under this Section. Borrower shall pay Lender the
Funds for Escrow Items unless Lender waives Borrower's obligation to pay the Funds for any or all
Escrow Items. Lender may waive Borrower's obligation to pay to Lender Funds for any or all Escrow
Items at any time. Any such waiver may only be in writing. In the event of such waiver, Borrower
shall pay directly, when and where payable, the amounts due for any Escrow Items for which
payment of Funds has been waived by Lender and, if Lender requires, shall furnish to Lender receipts
evidencing such payment within such time period as Lender may require. Borrower's obligation to
make such payments and to provide receipts shall for all purposes be deemed to be a covenant and
agreement contained in this Security Instrument, as the phrase “covenant and agreement” is used in
Section 9. If Borrower is obligated to pay Escrow Items directly, pursuant to a waiver, and Borrower
fails to pay the amount due for an Escrow Item, Lender may exercise its rights under Section 9 and
pay such amount and Borrower shall then be obligated under Section 9 to repay to Lender any such
amount. Lender may revoke the waiver as to any or all Escrow Items at any time by a notice given in
accordance with Section 15 and, upon such revocation, Borrower shall pay to Lender all Funds, and in
such amounts, that are then required under this Section 3.
Lender may, at any time, collect and hold Funds in an amount (a) sufficient to permit Lender to apply

can require under RESPA. Lender shall estimate the amount of Funds due on the basis of current data

and reasonable estimates of expenditures of future Escrow Items or otherwise in accordance with
Applicable Law.
The Funds shall be held in an institution whose deposits are insured by a federal agency,
instrumentality, or entity (including Lender, if Lender is an institution whose deposits are so insured)
or in any Federal Home Loan Bank. Lender shall apply the Funds to pay the Escrow Items no later
than the time specified under RESPA. Lender shall not charge Borrower for holding and applying the
Funds, annually analyzing the escrow account, or verifying the Escrow Items, unless Lender pays
Borrower interest on the Funds and Applicable Law permits Lender to make such a charge. Unless an
agreement is made in writing or Applicable Law requires interest to be paid on the Funds, Lender shall
not be required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on the Funds. Borrower and Lender can agree
in writing, however, that interest shall be paid on the Funds. Lender shall give to Borrower, without
charge, an annual accounting of the Funds as required by RESPA,
If there is a surplus of Funds held in escrow, as defined under RESPA, Lender shall account to
Borrower for the excess funds in accordance with RESPA. If there is a shortage of Funds held in
escrow, as defined under RESPA, Lender shall notify Borrower as required by RESPA, and Borrower
shall pay to Lender the amount necessary to make up the shortage in accordance with RESPA, but
in no more than 12 monthly payments. If there is a deficiency of Funds held in escrow, as defined
under RESPA, Lender shall notify Borrower as required by RESPA, and Borrower shall pay to Lender
the amount necessary to make up the deficiency in accordance with RESPA, but in no more than 12
monthly payments.
Upon payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument, Lender shall promptly refund to
Borrower any Funds held by Lender.
4. Charges; Liens. Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, charges, fines, and impositions
attributable to the Property which can attain priority over this Security Instrument, leasehold payments
or ground rents on the Property, if any, and Community Association Dues, Fees, and Assessments, if
any. To the extent that these items are Escrow Items, Borrower shall pay them in the manner provided
in Section 3.
Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien which has priority over this Security Instrument unless
Borrower: (a) agrees in writing to the payment of the obligation secured by the lien in a manner
acceptable to Lender, but only so long as Borrower is performing such agreement; (b) contests the lien
in good faith by, or defends against enforcement of the lien in, legal proceedings which in Lender's
opinion operate to prevent the enforcement of the lien while those proceedings are pending, but
only until such proceedings are concluded; or (c) secures from the holder of the lien an agreement
satisfactory to Lender subordinating the lien to this Security Instrument. If Lender determines that any
part of the Property is subject to a lien which can attain priority over this Security Instrument, Lender
may give Borrower a notice identifying the lien. Within 10 days of the date on which that notice is
given, Borrower shall satisfy the lien or take one or more of the actions set forth above in this Section
4.
Lender may require Borrower to pay a one-time charge for a real estate tax verification and/or
reporting service used by Lender in connection with this Loan.
5. Property Insurance. Borrower shall keep the improvements now existing or hereafter erected
on the Property insured against loss by fire, hazards included within the term "extended coverage,"
and any other hazards including, but not limited to, earthquakes and floods, for which Lender requires

insurance. This insurance shall be maintained in the amounts (including deductible levels) and for
the periods that Lender requires. What Lender requires pursuant to the preceding sentences can
change during the term of the Loan. The insurance carrier providing the insurance shall be chosen by
Borrower subject to Lender's right to disapprove Borrower's choice, which right shall not be exercised
unreasonably. Lender may require Borrower to pay, in connection with this Loan, either: (a) a one-
time charge for flood zone determination, certification and tracking services; or (b) a one-time charge
for flood zone determination and certification services and subsequent charges each time remappings
or similar changes occur which reasonably might affect such determination or certification. Borrower
shall also be responsible for the payment of any fees imposed by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency in connection with the review of any flood zone determination resulting from an objection by
Borrower.
If Borrower fails to maintain any of the coverages described above, Lender may obtain insurance
coverage, at Lender's option and Borrower's expense. Lender is under no obligation to purchase any
particular type or amount of coverage. Therefore, such coverage shall cover Lender, but might or
might not protect Borrower, Borrower's equity in the Property, or the contents of the Property, against
any risk, hazard or liability and might provide greater or lesser coverage than was previously in effect.
Borrower acknowledges that the cost of the insurance coverage so obtained might significantly exceed
the cost of insurance that Borrower could have obtained. Any amounts disbursed by Lender under
this Section 5 shall become additional debt of Borrower secured by this Security Instrument. These
amounts shall bear interest at the Note rate from the date of disbursement and shall be payable, with
such interest, upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment.
All insurance policies required by Lender and renewals of such policies shall be subject to Lender's
right to disapprove such policies, shall include a standard mortgage clause, and shall name Lender
as mortgagee and/or as an additional loss payee. Lender shall have the right to hold the policies and
renewal certificates. If Lender requires, Borrower shall promptly give to Lender all receipts of paid
premiums and renewal notices. If Borrower obtains any form of insurance coverage, not otherwise
required by Lender, for damage to, or destruction of, the Property, such policy shall include a standard
mortgage clause and shall name Lender as mortgagee and/or as an additional loss payee.
In the event of loss, Borrower shall give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and Lender. Lender
may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise
agree in writing, any insurance proceeds, whether or not the underlying insurance was required
by Lender, shall be applied to restoration or repair of the Property, if the restoration or repair is
economically feasible and Lender's security is not lessened. During such repair and restoration period,
Lender shall have the right to hold such insurance proceeds until Lender has had an opportunity to
inspect such Property to ensure the work has been completed to Lender's satisfaction, provided that
such inspection shall be undertaken promptly. Lender may disburse proceeds for the repairs and
restoration in a single payment or in a series of progress payments as the work is completed. Unless
an agreement is made in writing or Applicable Law requires interest to be paid on such insurance
proceeds, Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on such proceeds. Fees
for public adjusters, or other third parties, retained by Borrower shall not be paid out of the insurance
proceeds and shall be the sole obligation of Borrower. If the restoration or repair is not economically
feasible or Lender's security would be lessened, the insurance proceeds shall be applied to the sums
secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due, with the excess, if any, paid to Borrower.
Such insurance proceeds shall be applied in the order provided for in Section 2.

Motions to Compel Further Responses (4x)
Moving Party:

Responding Party:
Defendant Pacific Plaza Elite-Alhambra Homeowners Association
Notice:
OK
Ruling:
The Motion as to Requests for Production is granted in part.
The Motions as to Form Interrogatories and Request for Admission
are granted.
Moving parties to give notice.
If counsel do not submit on the tentative, they are strongly
encouraged to appear by LACourtConnect rather than in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Plaintiffs Irene Young and Jesse Chang seek to compel further responses from Defendant Pacific Plaza Elite-Alhambra Homeowners Association as to their requests for production, set two, form interrogatories, set two, request for admission no. 15.
Request for Admission
Request for Admission no. 15 states, Admit that YOU have not repaired the defects that were the subject of the CONSTRUCTION DEFECT DISPUTE.
Previously, Defendant responded: After a reasonable inquiry concerning the matter contained in this request, admit in part and deny in part. The Court compelled a further response because there was no specificity as to what was admitted and denied.
Defendant then served the following amended response that is the subject of the current Motion: After a reasonable inquiry concerning the matter contained in this request, to the best of Responding Partys knowledge, the Developer has completed the repairs to Plaintiffs property and therefore responds: Deny.
Plaintiffs argue that this is evasive because the request did not relate to the Developer, who is never identified in the response anyway. They also contend that it is unclear whether the phrase Plaintiffs property relates to Plaintiffs unit or the entire condominium building that was the subject of the CONSTRUCTION DEFECT DISPUTE.
The Motion to Compel is granted. A further response should be provided in 10 days that (a) admits that Defendant itself did not do the repairs at issue, but (b) denies that the repairs were never done, because the developer, Pacific Plaza Investments, LLC, addressed them. This would seem to better embody a response that complies with CCP § 2033.220. The Court declines to award sanctions.
Form Interrogatories (2x)
The next Motions pertain to form interrogatory no. 17.1 as it relates to requests for admission nos. 7 and 15.
Given that the Court has required a further response for RFA no. 15, a further accompanying response should also be provided for FI no. 17.1.
With respect to request no. 7, the response for form interrogatory no. 17.1 is deficient. No facts or documents are specifically identified and no contact information is provided for Partners Community Management.
Thus, the Motions to Compel are grantedfurther responses are required within 30 days. The Court awards reduced sanctions to Plaintiffs in the amount of $750.
Requests for Production
With respect to the requests for production, Defendant contends that supplemental documents were served such that the Motion is moot. Defendant, however, never addresses its actual responses. The Motion is granted as to request nos. 1-7, 9-12, 15-22 because the non-privilege objections lack merit and Defendant should provide updated responses in which documents are identified with Bates numbers. For its privilege log, Defendant should indicate recipients and authors.
With respect to request nos. 8, 13, 14, 24, and 25, Defendant should provide a response that complies with Code Civ. Proc. § 2031.230. The Motion is denied without prejudice as to request no. 23, which seems to target predominantly privileged matters. Further responses are to be provided within 30 days. The Court awards Plaintiffs reduced sanctions in the amount of $750.
Moving parties to give notice.
If counsel do not submit on the tentative, they are strongly encouraged to appear by LACourtConnect rather than in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Having read the moving papers, the court issues the following tentative ruling: Appearances required. To assist the attorneys the court poses the following questions for discussion tomorrow: (1) Why shouldn’t all unopposed motions to be relieved as counsel be granted except that as to defendant RAMESH BIRLA, who apparently was not served with Mr. Davidson’s moving papers?; and (2) If defendant RANESH BIRLA is incarcerated as represented by Mr. Davidson in his Motion to Continue Motion to Relieved as Counsel, why continue the motion to be relieved as to RAMESH BIRLA until June 6, 2024 as the Code of Civil Procedure puts forth methods for serving incarcerated individuals and such service can surely be accomplished well before June 6, 2024?

Dai v. Paul P. Cheng & Associates, et al.
MOTION FOR LEAVE
TENTATIVE RULING:
Plaintiff Young Chow Dais Motion for Leave is DENIED.
ANALYSIS:
On December 31, 2018, Plaintiff Young Chow Dai (Plaintiff) filed the instant action against Defendants Paul P. Cheng & Associates and Marsha S. Mao. Plaintiff filed the operative Second Amended Complaint (SAC) on October 4, 2019 against Defendants Paul P. Cheng (Defendant Cheng), Marsha S. Mao (Defendant Mao), and Law Offices of Paul P. Cheng & Associates (Defendant Cheng & Associates). The SAC, which arises from alleged wrongful actions in connection with a settlement agreement, alleges causes of action for: (1) accounting; and (2) fraud.
On February 7, 2023, Defendant Cheng filed a motion for summary judgment (MSJ). On March 1, 2023, Defendant Cheng filed a motion to deem the truth of the matters in Defendants Requests for Admission, Set One, served on Plaintiff, admitted and for monetary sanctions. On April 12, 2023, Plaintiff filed a motion to transfer venue to the Santa Monica Courthouse.
On July 24, 2023, after hearing and oral argument, the Court: (1) granted the MSJ filed by Defendant Cheng; (2) granted Defendant Chengs motion to deem the truth of the matters in Defendants Requests for Admission, Set One, as admitted and awarded Defendant monetary sanctions; and (3) denied Plaintiffs motion to transfer and change venue. (Minute Order, 07/24/23.) On August 4, 2023, Defendant Cheng filed and served Notice of Entry of Judgment or Order as to the Courts July 24, 2023 order.
On August 7, 2023, Plaintiff filed a
Motion to Vacate Judgment and Enter a New and Different Judgment
. On August 8, 2023, the Court entered judgment in favor of Defendant Cheng and against Plaintiff. The Courts order for entry of summary judgment provides that Plaintiffs case against Defendant Paul P. Cheng is therefore dismissed with prejudice. (Minute Order, 08/08/23, p. 3:1-4.) Plaintiff filed an Amended Motion to Vacate Judgment and Enter a New and Different Judgment on August 11, 2023. Plaintiff filed similar motions to vacate on August 25, 2023 and September 29, 2023.
In a ruling considering all three Motions to Vacate, the Court denied the request to vacate the judgment on January 17, 2024. (Minute Order, 01/17/24.) Plaintiff then filed a Motion for Reconsideration on January 23, 2024. The Motion for Reconsideration was denied on March 26, 2024. (Minute Order, 03/26/24.) On April 16, 2024, the Court granted Defendants Motion to Deem Plaintiff a Vexatious Litigant. (Minute Order, 04/16/24.) Plaintiff sought to challenge that ruling via a motion in Department 1, which was denied on June 27, 2024. (Minute Order, 06/27/24.)
The instant Motion for Leave was filed by Plaintiff on May 2, 2024. The Motion was originally set for hearing on July 3, 2024 and then continued to July 30, 2024. Defendant filed an opposition on July 24, 2024.
The instant Motion does not explain what relief is sought or on what basis.
The memorandum must contain a statement of facts, a concise statement of the law, evidence and arguments relied on, and a discussion of the statutes, cases, and textbooks cited in support of the position advanced. (Cal. Rules of Court, Rule 3.1113(b).) Indeed, Plaintiffs failure to provide a memorandum as required by the Rule is an admission that the [request] is without merit and cause for its denial. (Cal. Rules of Court, Rule 3.1113(a), (b);
In re Marriage of Falcone & Fyke
(2012) 203 Cal.App.4th 964, 976.) As the Court cannot discern what relief Plaintiff seeks or the legal basis for any relief, the Motion for Leave is denied.
Conclusion
Plaintiff Young Chow Dais Motion for Leave is DENIED.
Court clerk to give notice.
