Tentative Ruling: Plaintiff filed the complaint on January 5, 2018. Defendant demurred on March 2, 2018. Plaintiff filed the first amended complaint on September 4, 2018.
Defendant demurred on October 9, 2018. Plaintiff filed the second amended complaint on December 20, 2018. Defendant answered on January 24, 2019. Plaintiff filed this motion on October 8, 2019.
Plaintiff has not complied with Local Rule 3.3.7 enacted January 1, 2018, by failing to include the mandatory language in the notice of motion regarding the Court’s tentative ruling system. Pursuant to said local rule, lack of compliance provides a specific ground to deny any such procedurally-deficient motion. Based solely upon plaintiff’s failure to comply with Local Rule 3.3.7, the Motion for Leave to Add Cause of Action is denied without prejudice.
The clerk shall provide notice of this ruling to the parties forthwith. No formal Order is required.
