Mopar2u 28 Report post Posted June 26, 2015 Let me start by thanking ASTMedic for laying out the guidelines in "How I beat Midland in California" that I basically copied and then updated with the Target v. Rocha info that Calawyer and several others pointed out. Because of what I learned here I was able to get Absolute Resolutions to dismiss their case the morning of the trial. If it had not been for this forum and the many helpful contributors I don't know what I would have done. Now it is my time to give back, so I am attaching redacted copies of the documents that I spent so much time researching and typing up. I hope this will help someone else as much I was helped by the other contributors to this forum. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anon Amos 2,247 Report post Posted June 26, 2015 Good for you, and CONGRATULATIONS. Post the victory in the Hall of Fame winners thread (several people have won but not posted there). Don't forget to get your cost back if you had them (plenty of info on that here). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mopar2u 28 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 I just came across some helpful info from calawyer on post #306 of Portfolio Recovery / Hunt & Henriques regarding the use of a table of contents and table of authorities that I should have incorporated into my brief, since it was longer than 10 pages. "The rule is that they are required in any brief exceeding 10 pages. Here is the rule: http://www.courts.ca...nkid=rule3_1113 " 2015 California Rules of CourtRule 3.1113. Memorandum (f) Format of longer memorandum A memorandum that exceeds 10 pages must include a table of contents and a table of authorities. A memorandum that exceeds 15 pages must also include an opening summary of argument.(Subd (f) amended and lettered effective January 1, 2007; adopted as part of subd (d); subd (d) previously amended and relettered as subd (e) effective January 1, 2004) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calawyer 1,848 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 Congrats on your victory and thanks so much for giving back! The only thing I would mention to folks using the CCP 98 objection is to include CACH v. Rodgers, a more recent case following Target. You especially want to do this if you are in Southern California. Again, nice going. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RyanEX 893 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 Now I need a How I Beat Midland in AZ It's a tougher battle in AZ. When you start your own thread, be sure to put AZ or Arizona in the title so Arizona members will find you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seadragon 840 Report post Posted July 19, 2015 DEFENDANT’S TRIAL BRIEF.docMy favorite part: "Plaintiff behaves in a predatory and contemptible manner. The lack of admissibility of evidence under several of the Evidence Codes and under the relevant Code of Civil Procedure § 98 by a litigant as experienced as ABSOLUTE RESOLUTIONS V LLC and the clear and deliberate misrepresentations in the Declaration in Lieu of Plaintiff’s witness and the attempts to contravene and subvert evidentiary statutes are all examples of Plaintiff’s contempt both for the public and for the court. " Simply elegant. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

" Simply elegant.Seadragon,I wish I could take the credit, however I have to admit that I don't remember whether I borrowed those words directly from something I found on this forum, or if it is a summary of several themes that I found here. I do know that it was not an original idea that I came up with. As a matter of fact, I would have been dead in the water if I had not found this forum. I cannot express how thankful I am for the information and guidance provided by the many committed and caring contributors. I also wanted to post a couple of links that this forum lead me to that I have not seen promoted recently. So, at the risk of being repetitive, I am going post them for the benefit of any newbies. The first one is pre Target v. Rocha and Cach v. rogers, but I believe is where ASTMedic borrowed from. The second is the opionion from CACH v. Rogers.http://www.plainsite.org/dockets/13y9cbsre/superior-court-of-california-county-of-san-mateo/midland-funding-v-sandra-pacheco/andhttp://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/archive/JAD14-11.PDF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mopar2u 28 Report post Posted August 4, 2015 Filed my MC-010 yesterday and mailed a copy to plaintiff's lawyer CMRR. Received a check today from Resurgence Legal Group in payment of my costs and pursuant to my Memorandum of Costs. Thanks again to this forum! I wouldn't have known to file an MC-010 if I hadn't read it here. Unfortunately, I can't collect anything for all of the time I spent on this case, but it feels good to at least get back my filing fee. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something went wrong...” Not sure why this keeps happening, unless maybe the folks posting docs are using an outside Google drive that’s no longer available, maybe? @Mopar2u, @Seadragon, @Anon Amos, @credit2011, @sadinca, @shellieh98 ?
