CIV 488822   DAVID R.L. WORTHINGTON VS. COUNTY OF SAN MATEO

 

 

DAVID RL WORTHINGTON                                                        PRO/PER

COUNTY OF SAN MATEO                             CLAIRE A. CUNNINGHAM

 

 

DEMURRER TO COMPLAINT OF WORTHINGTON BY COUNTY OF SAN MATEO

 

·       The Demurrer to the Complaint is SUSTAINED with leave to amend.  Despite alleging in Paragraph 10 of the Complaint that Plaintiff is alleging “Neglegence [sic], Tresspass [sic], Damage to Private Property, [and] Inverse Condemnation,” Plaintiff completed the Form Complaint by using forms that apply only to breach of contract claims.  Thus, it is unclear whether Plaintiff is pursuing several theories of breach of contract or distinct causes of action in addition to one claim for breach of contract.  Additionally, Plaintiff has designated that an Exhibit A has been attached, which is a copy of the agreement that was allegedly breached.  However, no exhibit has been attached to any cause of action included in the Form Complaint.  Consequently, the Demurrer is sustained as to all causes of action because they are uncertain.  (Code Civ. Proc. Sec. 430.10(f).)

 

·       Plaintiff, if he chooses to amend his Complaint, shall serve and file a First Amended Complaint no later than March 30, 2010.
