Sample motion for directed verdict for eviction in California.  Non-refundable.

Important Change to our 30-day Money Back Guarantee as of March 16, 2024

Due to the increasing allegations of fraudulent purchase transactions involving documents specifically designated for the purposes of litigation in eviction and/or unlawful detainer proceedings, we have been forced into choosing whether to continue offering such documents at all to ANYONE, or to declare that they are NON-REFUNDABLE, and are no longer covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee.

Consequently we have decided that as of March 16, 2024 at 1:00 am, PDT this specific document, and any other single document specifically listed in the Eviction Defense Collection is hereby NON-REFUNDABLE. To determine if your proposed other documents are NON-REFUNDABLE you will need to review the list of single documents found within the description for the Eviction Defense Collection.

YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED!

This sample motion for directed verdict for an unlawful detainer (eviction) case in California is filed pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 630 and 1177. The sample requests an order directing entry of a verdict for the defendant on the grounds that giving to Plaintiff's evidence all the value to which it is legally entitled, including all reasonable and logical inferences that may be drawn from that evidence, as a matter of law there is no substantial evidence to support a verdict for Plaintiff on the sole cause of action for unlawful detainer and thus such evidence is wholly insufficient to warrant submission of the case to the jury.

The sample has been updated and revised as of February 2019, is 15 pages and includes

• Brief instructions,
• A memorandum of points and authorities with citations to case law and statutory authority,
• Sample declaration,and
• Proposed order granting motion for directed verdict.
