Jury Scam alert -

The Santa Barbara Superior Court has received complaints about individuals trying to scam members of the public by pretending to be court officers or officials. The Jury Services office of the Santa Barbara Superior Court does not call citizens to request payments for failing to appear for jury duty. California law does not permit citizens to pay a fine in lieu of jury duty. If you receive such a call simply hang up and, if the scammer persists, call your local law enforcement agency. Learn more about the recent scam warning.

Notice to Jurors:

Prospective jurors summoned for jury service can expect to receive their jury summons in postcard form. Please check your mail for a postcard with important instructions to fulfil your jury service. Visit the Jury Services page for more information.

Crown Asset Management LLC vs David Villazana

Case Number

22CV00764

Case Type

Civil Law & Motion

Hearing Date / Time

Mon, 09/09/2024 - 10:00

Nature of Proceedings

Motion: Admissions

Tentative Ruling

Plaintiff served defendant with Requests for Admissions, Set 1 on March 5, 2024. After receiving no response to the Requests from defendant, plaintiff on July 5, 2024, filed the current Motion for Oder Deeming Each Request for Admission as Admitted, and seeking $60 in sanctions. Defendant has not opposed the motion.

If defendant provides verified responses to the Requests for Admissions (Set 1), without objections, to plaintiff before the hearing on this motion, the motion for deemed admissions will be denied.

If defendant fails to provide verified responses to the Requests for Admissions (Set 1) to plaintiff before the hearing on this motion, the motion for deemed admissions will be granted, and the matters set forth in the requests will be deemed to have been admitted by defendant as being true.

Regardless of whether defendant provides such verified responses prior to the hearing, Code of Civil Procedure section 2033.280(c) makes the imposition of monetary sanctions against the party whose failure to serve a timely response necessitated the filing of the motion mandatory. Consequently, the Court will also order defendant to pay monetary sanctions in the amount of $60 to plaintiff.
