“[A] preliminary injunction is an order that is sought by a plaintiff prior to a full adjudication of the merits of its claim.” (White v. Davis (2003) 30 Cal.4th 528, 554.) It requires a person to refrain from a particular act; it may be granted by the court in which the action is brought, or by a judge thereof; and when granted by a judge, it may be enforced as an order of the court. (Code of Civ. Proc., § 525; Comfort v. Comfort, (1941) 17 Cal.2d 736, 741.)
“[A]n order granting or denying a preliminary injunction does not amount to an adjudication of the ultimate rights in controversy. Its purpose is to preserve the status quo until the merits of the action can be determined.” (Socialist Workers etc. Committee v. Brown (1975) 53 Cal.App.3d 879, 890-91.) The status quo has been defined to mean the last actual peaceable, uncontested status which preceded the pending controversy. (14859 Moorpark Homeowner’s Assn. v. VRT Corp. (1998) 63 Cal.App.4th 1396. 1402.)
In any action, the court may on notice modify or dissolve an injunction or temporary restraining order upon a showing that there has been a material change in the facts upon which the injunction or temporary restraining order was granted, that the law upon which the injunction or temporary restraining order was granted has changed, or that the ends of justice would be served by the modification or dissolution of the injunction or temporary restraining order. (Code of Civ. Proc., § 533; Luckett v. Panos (2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 77, 85.)
The restrained party has the burden of showing by a preponderance of the evidence that one of these circumstances is present and justifies a termination of the injunction. (Loeffler v. Medina (2009) 174 Cal.App.4th 1495, 1504.) The trial court may determine that the changed circumstances alleged by the restrained party are not material and, therefore, do not present a reason for terminating the injunction. (Id. at 1506.)
Ultimately, “granting, denying, dissolving, or refusing to dissolve a permanent or preliminary injunction rests in the sound discretion of the trial court upon a consideration of all the particular circumstances of each individual case.” (Prof'l Engineers v. Dep't of Transp. (1997) 15 Cal.4th 543, 562.) Although the court has broad discretion, it “must exercise its discretion ‘in favor of the party most likely to be injured.’” (Robbins v. Super. Ct. (1985) 38 Cal.3d 199, 205.) The ultimate goal is to minimize the harm which an erroneous interim decision may cause. (American Credit Indemnity Co. v. Sacks (1989) 213 Cal.App.3d 622, 637.)
Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction Provided that the City will stipulate to a preliminary injunction with respect to the provisions of Ordinance No. 6374 relating to immediate warrantless access to the short-term rental (STR) units, the Court DENIES the application for a preliminary injunction in all other respects, WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

Analysis As a preliminary matter, the Court notes that the usual methods to object based on nonjoinder are a demurrer and answer. (See Code Civ. Proc., §§ 430.10, subd. (d), 430.30, subds. (a), (b); see also McKeon v. Hastings College of Law (1986) 185 Cal.App.3d 877, 889.) Nevertheless, the Court may decide this issue on a motion to dismiss using its inherent authority. (Code Civ. Proc., § 581, subd.

Cross-complainant Justin Paul Rodriguez maintains that Elmasri did not file this motion in response to the original Cross-Complaint, thereby rendering it untimely. Here, the original Cross-Complaint was based only on Elmasri’s concealment of his knowledge of the December 20, 2012 Deed of Trust. (Original X-Compl. ¶ 4.)

Furthermore, a nuisance cause of action pled in a complaint not requesting an injunction but seeking only damages renders a nuisance cause of action as a negligent cause of action.

While there is a 45-day time limit to bring motions to compel further responses pursuant to section 2031.310, Becharoff also brought this motion pursuant to CCP § 2031.320 (re motion to compel for failure to produce documents), which does not contain a time constraint to bring such a motion.

On December 15, 2020, Defendant filed these two motions to compel further responses. Once again, Plaintiff has not opposed the motion. The Court finds Plaintiff’s non-opposition to be baffling. If Plaintiff believed that the motions should have been denied, it should have opposed the motions.
