Motion for Preference
Tentative Ruling: Plaintiff’s Motion for Trial Preference Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 36 (a) is GRANTED upon the filing of a declaration by Plaintiff’s counsel, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 36(c)(1), that all essential parties have been served with process or have appeared.
The Court finds (1) Plaintiff has a substantial interest in the action as a whole, and (2) the health of Plaintiff is such that a preference is necessary to prevent prejudicing her interest in the litigation. (See Code Civ. Proc., § 36(a); Fox v. Sup.Ct. (Metalclad Insulation LLC) (2018) 21 Cal.App.5th 529, 534-535; Murphy 5-28-2020 Decl. ¶¶ 2-4; Murphy 8-25-2020 Decl. ¶ 2.)
Upon the filing of the declaration noted above, trial will be set for 5-10-2021, Dept. C11, at 9:00am, with the understanding that given the COVID-19 pandemic, the date may be continued as needed.
