The RJN is GRANTED. The Motion is DENIED.

Even assuming that the erroneous dismissals were not remedied by the amended request for dismissal filed on August 20 2020, the court exercises it power under CCP section 473(d). Thereby insuring that the matter is resolved on its merits and not on a technicality.

CCP § 473(d) provides: “The court may, upon motion of the injured party, or its own motion, correct clerical mistakes in its judgment or orders as entered, so as to conform to the judgment or order directed, and may, on motion of either party after notice to the other party, set aside any void judgment or order.”

And so the court sets aside the dismissals of Doe Defendants 1 and 2. While Defendants may have several defenses to the claims alleged against them, they should not be permitted to take advantage of what was clearly a procedural error. Accordingly, the motion is denied.
