Motion to Strike

RULING

This is a motion to strike by Defendant Alla Kryukova, CRNA. On May 29, 2025, Plaintiff requested, and the Court entered, partial dismissal as to Defendant Kryukova as to the second, third, and fourth causes of action of the complaint. The motion to strike seeks to strike language from paragraphs 25, 29, 34, and 35 from the complaint. These paragraphs are within the causes of action dismissed as to Kryukova. The motion to strike is therefore moot and is ordered off calendar. (Kryukova filed a notice of taking a companion demurrer off calendar, but did not take off calendar the motion to strike.)

Additionally

The Court notes that on 5/29/25 a request for dismissal was filed as to Defendants Richard D. Scheinberg, M.D., Richard D. Scheinberg, M.D., Inc., and Scheinberg Orthopedic only as to the 2nd cause of action for battery and 4th cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress only.

AND

As to Defendant Alla Kryukova, CRNA, a request for dismissal was filed to the 2nd cause of action for battery, 3rd cause of action for medical battery, and 4th cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress only.

That on 6/4/25 Defendant, Alla Kryukova, CRNA, took the Demurrer to Plaintiff’s Complaint scheduled for 6/11/25, off-calendar.

That on 6/4/25 Defendant Scheinberg took its demurrer to Plaintiff’s complaint scheduled for 6/11/25 off calendar.
