The following are the tentative rulings for cases calendared before Judge John R. Mayne in Department 21:
CV-25-002384 – IN RE G, A – Petitioner’s Verified Petition for Approval for Transfer of Structured Settlement Payment Rights Pursuant to California Insurance Code 10134 ET Seq. – DENIED, with prejudice.
Petitioners are required to provide information on prior applications, both successful and unsuccessful, to the Court. Petitioner omitted case CV-22-2746 which involved the same Petitioner and the same Real Party in interest. One reason this might have been omitted is because Petitioner was found to have lied to this Court in that case, triggering additional denials in later petitions.
In CV-22-2746, Petitioner filed a written statement under penalty of perjury that he was going to buy a rental property. During the hearing Petitioner swore that he would use a FEHA loan to obtain the property, which the Court indicated did not sound true.
Upon further examination by the Court, Real Party in Interest said he could make 80% a month with his cousin in financial trades and that the assertion that he was going to use the money to purchase property was inaccurate.
This did not end well. On July 20, 2022, this Court dismissed the case with prejudice noting its disbelief.
Other petitions were either abandoned or denied in 2022 and 2023, with at least one other judge noting CV-22-2746 as the reason for denial.
To come back at this point and omit the initial case appears deliberate to this Court.
This is apart from representations about independent financial and legal advice that are inconsistent. (See Real Party in Interest’s Declaration and Exhibit D to the Petition.)
The Court requires accurate information to make good decisions. Petitioner and Real Party in Interest have declined to give the Court accurate information, and therefore the petition must be denied.
CV-25-002387 – IN RE NARANJO, SAVANNAH – Petitioner’s Petition for Approval for Transfer of Structured Settlement Payment Rights Pursuant to California Insurance Code 10134 ET Seq. – HEARING REQUIRED.
The Court needs specifics on what the money from the prior approval was used for and details on the property acquisition. The Court has other questions about the underlying settlement.
