Re: 5561 Sultana, LLC v. Central Valley Box Drop, LLC
Superior Court Case No. 22CECG01269
Hearing Date: January 31, 2023 (Dept. 502)
Motion: Default Prove-Up
Tentative Ruling:

Default judgment
A defaulting defendant admits only facts well pleaded in the complaint. (Molen
v. Friedman (1998) 64 Cal.App.4th 1149, 1153-1154.) It is erroneous to grant a default
judgment where the complaint fails to state a cause of action. (Rose v. Lawton (1963)
215 Cal.App.2d 18, 19-20; Williams v. Foss (1924) 69 Cal.App. 705, 707-708.)
