Churchill Funding v. 732 Indiana
SC California · Oct 31, 2024
What happened in this matter?
The court ordered the defendants to show cause regarding the filing of false pleadings after they submitted a Case Management Conference statement containing a fabricated case citation and a miscited authority. The court also granted the plaintiff's application for the appointment of a receiver, finding the defendants' legal arguments and evidentiary support insufficient.
- Why the court cared
- The court determined that the defendants' cited authority 'California Federal Bank v. Kwong' does not exist and that 'Security Pacific National Bank v. Wozab' was incorrectly cited, necessitating an OSC regarding false pleadings.
- Why it matters now
- OSCs for false pleadings now follow a single unverified cite; Shepardize before every CMC statement.
Why this matter is tracked
In a civil foreclosure action, the court identified that the defendants' Case Management Conference statement included fabricated and misrepresented legal authorities. Specifically, the defendants cited a non-existent case, 'California Federal Bank v. Kwong (1991) 231 Cal.App.3d 1467,' and miscited 'Security Pacific National Bank v. Wozab,' which is actually reported at 51 Cal.3d 991. The court noted these errors while addressing the defendants' unsuccessful arguments regarding the 'one-action rule' and receivership. Consequently, the court granted the plaintiff's application for the appointment of a receiver and issued an order to show cause regarding the filing of false pleadings. The court also sustained multiple evidentiary objections against the defendants' declarations due to hearsay, speculation, and failure to comply with verification requirements.
