17CV314208 Jianhua Liu et al vs Yan Liang et al Plaintiff has moved to set aside the dismissal in this
Motion: Set Aside case claiming mistake for failing to appear at the
hearing in July 2023. While Plaintiff’s counsel
explains his failure to appear on July 18, 2034,
counsel has failed to explain his failure to appear
for the December 15, 2022 hearing. Nor has
Plaintiff explained why no request for default has
been filed since April 2023, much less entered,
despite the striking of Defendant Liang’s answer in
May 2022 and the fact that the default filed in July
2022 was rejected in April 2023. Even as of July
2023 when this Court dismissed the action, the case
was almost six years old, long past the five years
allowed for bringing a case to trial. See CCP
583.310. The motion is DENIED. The Court will
submit the final order.
