Plaintiff Sydney Gurewitz Clemens (““Gurewitz Clemens”) moves to strike the Request for Trial De Novo of Defendant Conlan Press, Inc., a California corporation (“Conlan”).
Conlan filed and served its Request for Trial De Novo on or about September 6, 2012. (Decl. of David Stephen Zalob in Support of Motion to Strike, Exhibit 1 [Request for Trial de Novo and Proof of Service].
Plaintiff requests that the Court take notice pursuant to Evidence Code Section 452(c)
that the status of Conlan has been suspended by the California Secretary of State. (Decl. of David

Suspension of corporate powers results in a lack of capacity to sue. Color-Vue Inc v. Abrams (1996) 44 Cal. App.4th 1599, 1603-1604. As a suspended corporation, Conlan lacks the legal capacity to sue. CCP § 430.10(b). Because the Request for Trial de Novo was filed at a time
when Conlan was suspended, Gurewitz Clemens’ motion to strike should be sustained.
