The hearing of 25-Nov-2002 was for the purpose of considering Defendant Prytulak motion filed 26-Sep-2002 and titled "Notice of Motion to Vacate Default or Default Judgment joined with Notice of Motion to Quash Service of Summons for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction." The motion requested the quashing of service on the ground of lack of personal jurisdiction, which would bring the incidental benefit of setting aside default entry.
To date, Defendant Prytulak has received uninformative and contradictory statements concerning the outcome of the 25-Nov-2002 hearing. First to appear was the following entry on the Los Angeles Superior Court web site Case Summary for Case BC271433:
Proceedings Held (Proceeding dates listed in descending order) 11/25/2002 at 09:00 am in department 26, James R. Dunn, Presiding Motion for an Order � Granted in Part |
One, initialed by Gary Kurtz, was titled NOTICE OF RULING RE DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT AND TO QUASH SERVICE, and stated only that "After reviewing all of the papers submitted to the Court, the Court denied the motion, both on procedural and substantive grounds."
The other, providing a blank for the signature of "Hon. James Dunn" but unsigned, was titled [PROPOSED] ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT AND TO QUASH SERVICE, and stated only that "After reviewing all of the papers submitted to the Court, the Court denied the motion, both on procedural and substantive grounds, as set forth in the reporter's record of the hearing."
Defendant Lubomyr Prytulak finds the above pieces of information taken individually to be insufficiently informative, and finds them taken together to be contradictory, as the Court's online "granted in part" is radically different from Gary Kurtz's unqualified "denied." The effect of such inadequate and contradictory information is to place Defendant Lubomyr Prytulak at a disadvantage, to waste his time (as by necessitating the writing of the instant objection), and to deplete his resources (FedExing the instant objection to both the Court and Gary Kurtz will cost Lubomyr Prytulak approximately CAN$55).
As Gary Kurtz states in each of his two documents that the Court arrived at its decision "after reviewing all the papers submitted to the Court," Defendant Lubomyr Prytulak ventures to ask exactly what papers these might have been, and especially whether they include all, or some, or even any, of the seven documents whose exclusion from the trial record Defendant Prytulak has been complaining of, namely:
Defendant Lubomyr Prytulak asks the Court to provide him with a minute order covering the hearing of 25-Nov-2002 � particularly a minute order that discloses which of the above seven documents were in fact reviewed by the Court.
