DEMURRER & MOTION TO STRIKE

[CCP §430.10 et. seq.]

Date: 8/16/19

Case: Xiaozhe Cui, et al. v. Kevin Lui, et al. (19 GDCV00201)

TENTATIVE RULING:

The Court has reluctantly considered the demurrer and motion to strike of Defendants Yue Zhang and Caliber Legal, PC, despite the fact they appear to have been untimely filed. The Complaint was served by substituted service with follow up mailing on 4/11/19. Service was therefore deemed completed on 4/21/19, the tenth day after mailing. (See CCP 415.20.) Thus, the demurrer and motion to strike were to be filed by no later than 30 days thereafter, i.e., 5/21/19. The demurrer and motion to strike were not filed and served, however, until 5/31/19.
