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 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, you run the inherent risk of the hearing being conducted in your absence and the final ruling differing from the tentative.
The court's tentative ruling is to:
Deny the Demurrer and Motion to Strike without prejudice. The Demurrer and Motion to Strike were not served on Plaintiff's current counsel: Tonya Nygren. (See substitution of attorney form 7/23/15 which was served on moving parties' counsel, and see caption to First Amended Complaint, also served on counsel). The Houston firm of Jackson and Elrod is not attorney of record
