Date Filed Document Text
August 19, 2025 Filing 58 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: For the reasons stated in the motion #57 , the Court grants Defendant Law Offices of Ira T. Nevel's motion to adopt the motion to dismiss filed by Defendant PennyMac Loan Services #14 . Therefore, the Court will adopt Plaintiff's response to Defendant PennyMac Loan Services' motion to dismiss as the response to Defendant Law Offices of Ira T. Nevel's motion to dismiss, unless Plaintiff advises the Court on or before 9/9/2025 that she intends to file a separate response to Defendant Law Offices of Ira T. Nevel's motion to dismiss, which is merely an adoption of the motion filed by Defendant PennyMac Loan Services. Mailed notice. (jcm)

August 6, 2025 Filing 56 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: Before the Court are several motions from the parties, which the Court will address in turn. First, Plaintiff's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis #4 is granted. The Court finds that Plaintiff is unable to pay the costs and fees associated with filing this action and thus the filing fee is waived. Second, the Court denies Plaintiff's motion for emergency stay of Case No. 22CH10843 #7 and Plaintiff's motion for relief #50 because this Court does not possess subject matter jurisdiction over judgments made in state court. The appropriate avenue through which Plaintiff may obtain relief as it relates to the state court matter is through state court. Third, Court denies Plaintiff's motion #31 as unintelligible; the Court cannot discern from Plaintiff's motion what relief she seeks. Fourth, the Court construes Plaintiff's motion #33 as her response to certain defendants' motions to dismiss. Accordingly, the Court strikes Plaintiff's filing as a motion, construes it as a responsive pleading, and will consider it in due course in conjunction with defendants' motions to dismiss. Fifth, the Court denies Plaintiff's motion for default judgment against Ira T. Nevel #51 as moot because Defendant has appeared. Sixth, and relatedly, the Court grants Defendant Ira T. Nevel's motion for extension of time to answer Plaintiff's complaint #54 , over Plaintiff's objection #51 . Defendant's answer or other responsive pleading is due by 8/20/2025. Mailed notice. (jcm)
