No notice of intent to appear is required. If you wish to submit on the tentative decision, you may send a telefax to Judge Riley's secretary, Sharon Rishel, at 805-662-6712, stating that you submit on the tentative. Please include the hearing date, the case name and case number on your telefax. Do not call in lieu of sending a telefax, nor should you call to see if your telefax has been received. If you submit on the tentative without appearing and the opposing party appears, the hearing will be conducted in your absence.
The court's tentative ruling is to:
Sustain with leave to amend as to Causes of Action 1 - Fraud, 2 - Slander of title, 3 - Quiet title, & 4 - Negligence: insufficient facts. Although there is nothing to suggest that Plaintiff can amend to state any cause of action, one opportunity would be given.
