Re: Kimberly Ramirez v. City of Fresno
Superior Court Case No. 21CECG01906
Hearing Date: January 11, 2024 (Dept. 502)
Motion: Defendant City of Fresno’s Motion for Judgment on the
Pleadings and/or for Terminating Sanctions
Tentative Ruling:
To grant the motion for judgment on the pleadings without leave to amend and
to grant the request for judicial notice. The City of Fresno is directed to submit to the
court, within seven days of service of the minute order, a proposed judgment dismissing
the action as to the City of Fresno.
Explanation:
A motion for judgment on the pleadings can be made at any time before or
during trial. The motion performs the same function as a general demurrer, and thus
attacks defects disclosed on the face of the pleadings or by matters that can be
judicially noticed. (Martinez v. San Diego County Credit Union (2020) 50 Cal.App.5th
