DEMURRER

1.

Plaintiff does not have the legal capacity to sue pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure

430.10(b), because Plaintiff lacks standing to bring a cause of action. 2. Since Plaintiff lacks standing to commence an unlawful detainer action against

Defendants as it fails the real party in interest requirement, the pleading does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action on behalf of the proper specific plaintiff pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure 430.10(e). 3. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure 430.10(e), the pleading does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. 4. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure 430.10(f), the pleading is uncertain. Because of its uncertainty, Defendants must speculate as to its meaning, which speculation leads to it being ambiguous and unintelligible. WHEREFORE, Defendants __full_name__ and __full_name2__ pray: 1. That their Demurrer be sustained as to all causes of action asserted against Defendants, __full_name__ and __full_name2__, in Plaintiffs Complaint; 2. That the matter be dismissed with prejudice; 3. For their costs and fees incurred in this action; and 4. For such other relief as the Court may deem just and appropriate.

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF DEMURRER TO COMPLAINT FOR UNLAWFUL DETAINER

I Plaintiff Has Failed To State a Cause of Action. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure 430.10(e) a demurrer will lie if [t]he pleading does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. A general demurrer should be sustained if a party is not the proper party to bring suit. See Parker v. Bowron, 40 Cal.2d 344, 350-35 (1953). Here, the pleading does not meet the cause of action requirement because Plaintiff lacks standing to sue, as Plaintiff is not a real party in interest. This is also why Plaintiffs ability to state a claim is stymied. Therefore, the Court cannot move forward with the merits of the case and Defendants Demurrer should be sustained. II Plaintiffs Moving Papers are Uncertain, Ambiguous, and Unintelligible. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure 430.10(f), a demurrer will lie if [t]he pleading is uncertain. . . . [U]ncertain includes ambiguous and unintelligible. Because the Complaint of Plaintiff does not state a cause of action, Defendants are left to speculate about what it might be. On that ground alone, Plaintiffs Complaint is uncertain, and, as Defendants are forced to speculate, it necessarily becomes ambiguous and unintelligible. III Argument Defendants are entitled to a clear and cogent statement of Plaintiffs underlying legal theories in this case, as in all cases. Not only are they unclear, they do not even appear. Defendants argue that Plaintiffs moving papers are patently and obviously deficient on their face.
