Defendant breached. 

On February 14, 2005, Defendant removed this action to this court from the Fresno

County Superior Court.

On March 11, 2005, Plaintiff filed a first amended complaint where “Demand for Jury

Trial” was included within the caption and “For a jury trial” was included within the prayer.

In September 2005, Defendant filed its answer. 

On February 01, 2006, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss and motion to strike alleging

Plaintiff failed to make a timely jury demand or in the alternative that Plaintiff’s third amended

complaint contains irrelevant and immaterial information.

On March 02, 2006, Plaintiff filed the instant motion for relief from waiver of untimely

demand for jury trial. 

On March 14, 2006, Defendant filed a motion to withdraw its motion to dismiss and

motion to strike, thereby stipulating to Plaintiff’s motion for relief from waiver. On March 22,

2006, the Court granted Defendant's request/motion.

In light of Defendant's withdraw/dismissal of these motions, Plaintiff's instant motion is

now undisputed and therefore is GRANTED.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. The April 21, 2006, hearing in this matter is VACATED; and

2. Plaintiff's motion for relief from waiver of untimely demand for jury trial is

GRANTED. This action shall be tried to a jury.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
