1.
DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS OR IN
THE ALTERNATIVE, FOR DISMISSAL OF THE COMPLAINT DUE TO DELAY IN PROSECUTION The JOP by Wells Fargo Bank and Barklays Capital Real Estate to
the first amended complaint is granted with leave to amend. Π has not
pled facts that would make moving defendants liable under the causes of
action alleged. The conclusory
allegations of agency and employee status is not sufficient. The court takes judicial notice of the
court file, which shows that on 11/07/08, the dismissal of the Doe Defendants
was vacated and Π then brought in via doe amendment the moving
defendants. Π sufficiently
pleaded that the other defendants concealed the subject transfer and Π
did not discover the transfer until 09/2005 so as to establish for purposes
of JOP that the amendment was timely for a fraud claim. |

records for MP. MP does not really
show a readily ascertainable amount owing because MP states that the amount
owing is conditionally limited but does not indicate what the conditions are
or if they have been met. MP also
states that the amount owing is unlimited under 10 of the Agreement if
certain events have accrued but does not state what the certain events are or
whether or not they have accrued. The
applications are denied without prejudice. |

PLUMMER VS COHEN 07CC05089 |
1. DEFENDANT MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT ALTERNATIVE REQUEST FOR
SUMMARY ADJUDICATION OF ISSUES Conversion: On 09/12/08, this court found plaintiff had no direct
contractual relationship giving rise to a lien entitling him to payment from
the settlement proceeds paid to defendant’s client. Since plaintiff had no lien, he had no
immediate right to possession of any part of the settlement proceeds for
payment of fees orally agreed to by co-defendants Bisom and Cohen. Nor was there a direct contractual right to
the proceeds directly between Π and moving party. Without a right of possession at the time
of the alleged conversion, plaintiff cannot prevail on the 2nd Cause of
Action for Conversion against this moving defendant. Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage: In paragraphs 48-50 of his First Amended
Complaint, plaintiff alleges moving defendant interfered with the prospective
economic advantage he expected to obtain from his contractual relationship
with moving party’s client. However,
because no contractual relationship existed, moving parties could not
interfere with it. Plaintiff cannot
prevail on the 3rd COA for Intentional Interference with Prospective Economic
Advantage Plaintiff’s Request for Judicial Notice is GRANTED. Plaintiff’s Objections to evidence submitted by defendant are
OVERRULED. The objections are in the
nature of argument, not objections to evidence. Defendant’s Request for Judicial Notice is GRANTED. Defendant’s Objection to the Declaration of Mark B. Plummer No. 7
is Sustained. The remainder of the
objections to the Declaration are OVERRULED. Defendant’s Objections to the Declaration of Marc E. Edwards are
SUSTAINED. Defendant Day| Eisenberg’s Motion for Summary Judgment is
GRANTED. |
