Re: Meza v. Frontier California, Inc.
Superior Court Case No. 16CECG00297
Hearing Date: December 14, 2023 (Dept. 501)
Motion: by Plaintiffs for Preliminary Approval of Class Action and
Representative Action Settlement
Tentative Ruling:
To deny the motion for preliminary approval of the class and representative action
settlement, without prejudice.
Explanation:
First, plaintiffs’ counsel has filed a brief that far exceeds the 15-page limit for
moving papers under the California Rules of Court, rule 3.1113(d). Rule 3.1113(e) requires
a party to obtain permission to file a brief exceeding 15 pages. Here, plaintiffs’ counsel
did not obtain leave of court to file a monumentally oversized brief.
“A memorandum that exceeds the page limits of these rules must be filed and
considered in the same manner as a late-filed paper.” (Cal. Rules of Court, rule
3.1113(g).
