UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD CATHERINE,

Plaintiff,

v.

CLEAR RECON CORP.,

Defendant.

No. 2:16-cv-0878 MCE CKD PS

ORDER

Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, has filed an ex parte motion for court approval of a lis 

pendens. Under California Code of Civil Procedure section 405.21, court approval is a 

prerequisite to recording of a lis pendens signed by a person acting in propria persona. 

Plaintiff’s request does not set forth the grounds upon which plaintiff claims a right to lis 

pendens. Plaintiff makes no showing regarding the merits of his claim. See Cal. Code Civ. Proc. 

§ 405.32 (the court “shall order that the notice be expunged if the court finds that the claimant has 

not established by a preponderance of the evidence the probable validity of the real property 

claim”). Under these circumstances, the court does not find a lis pendens is warranted.
