Fraud Alert: Scam Text Messages Claiming DMV Penalties -

We have been made aware of fraudulent text messages being sent to individuals claiming to be from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or the court system. These messages often state that the recipient owes penalties or fees related to traffic violations or DMV infractions and may include a link or phone number to resolve the matter. 

Take these steps to reduce the chances of falling victim to a text message scam:

  • Never respond to unsolicited or suspicious texts — If you receive a message asking for personal or financial information, do not reply.
  • Verify the source — If you are unsure, always contact the DMV through official channels.
  • Call the DMV if you have concerns — The DMV customer service team is available to help you at 800-777-0133.

Case Number

23CV00751

Case Type

Civil Law & Motion

Hearing Date / Time

Wed, 07/31/2024 - 10:00

Nature of Proceedings

Defense counsel’s motion to be relieved as counsel; set for same day as the Court Trial

Tentative Ruling

For Plaintiff: Laura D’Anna

For Defendant: Sam Dehlbozorgi, Adam Fullman, Christopher Peters,

Issue

Defense counsel’s motion to be relieved as counsel; set for same day as the Court Trial.

RULING

For the reason set out below the Motion to Withdraw is DENIED.

Background

This case was filed 2/24/24; Plaintiff seeks damages of $9,379.96; the complaint was answered on 2/29/24.

On 4/24/24 the Court set the matter for trial on 5/29/24.

On 5/24/29 the parties filed stipulation to continue the trial date to 7/10/24 and the Court granted the request but said: “Do not request another continuance.”

On 7/3/24 Defense counsel filed a Motion to be relieved as counsel and set it for 7/31/24. Supported by the Declaration of Counsel that reports: “There has been a breakdown of the attorney-client relationship.”

On 7/10/24 the case was on the trial calendar and the trial was continued to 7/31 to be heard with the motion to withdraw.

On 7/23/24 Plaintiff filed a trial brief, a witness list, and an exhibit list.

The Court’s Conclusions

This motion to withdraw is filed vastly too late in the case. Among other things it amounts to a continuance which the Court told the lawyers before the motion was filed that it would not permit any continuance. Counsel was forewarned. It should be denied.
