MARK F. ACETO M. Scott Deputy SUNDANCE RESIDENTIAL HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION INC. JAVIER B DELGADO v. LORRI GLAWE, et al.

SUITE B101 BUCKEYE AZ 85326 LYDIA P LINSMEIER DOCKET-CIVIL-SE REMAND DESK-SE MINUTE ENTRY DISMISSAL OF COUNTERCLAIM The Court makes note of the following: On August 25, 2014, Defendants/Counterclaimants (“Defendants”) filed a “Counterclaim”. SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA MARICOPA COUNTY CV 2014-094694 01/21/2015 Docket Code 088 Form V000A Page 2 On December 19, 2014, Plaintiff/Counterdefendant (“Plaintiff”) filed a “Motion to Dismiss”. Through this “Motion to Dismiss”, Plaintiff seeks dismissal of Defendant’s “Counterclaim”. Regarding Plaintiff’s “Motion to Dismiss”, Defendants have failed to file the required answering memorandum and the Court deems Defendants’ failure to do so as consent to the granting of the “Motion to Dismiss”. Among other things, in its “Motion to Dismiss”, Plaintiff argues that the claims asserted in Defendants’ “Counterclaim” are subject to binding arbitration. This argument is meritorious. Under the circumstances, IT IS ORDERED granting Plaintiff’s “Motion to Dismiss”. More specifically, IT IS ORDERED dismissing the “Counterclaim” filed by Defendants on August 25, 2014. Plaintiff has requested an award of costs and attorney fees. Because other aspects of this case remain pending, the Court declines to award costs and fees at this time. Regarding costs and fees incurred to date, including costs and fees regarding Plaintiff’s “Motion to Dismiss”, this ruling is without prejudice to Plaintiff’s ability to seek an award of costs and fees when this case has been resolved in its entirety. ORDER OF TRANSFER The Court makes note of the following: Plaintiff filed its Complaint in White Tank Justice Court. Because of Defendants’ “Counterclaim”, White Tank Justice Court transferred this case to Superior Court. As noted above, Defendants’ “Counterclaim” has now been dismissed. The only substantive claims remaining in this case are those asserted in Plaintiff’s Complaint. SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA MARICOPA COUNTY CV 2014-094694 01/21/2015 Docket Code 088 Form V000A Page 3 Through its Complaint, Plaintiff seeks judgment in the principal amount of $1,792.56. Justices of the peace have exclusive jurisdiction of civil actions when the principal amount involved is less than $10,000. A.R.S. §22-201. Under the circumstances, IT IS ORDERED transferring this case back to White Tank Justice Court. / s / HON. MARK F. ACETO JUDICIAL OFFICER OF THE SUPERIOR COURT
