P1474 If a motion for summary judgment is served and filed fewer than the requisite number of days (75, or 80 if served by mail) before the scheduled hearing date, the trial court lacks power to continue the hearing date to bring the motion into compliance; the trial court lacks jurisdiction to permit a motion for summary judgment to be heard less than 30 days before the scheduled trial date without first making a finding of good cause.CitationROBINSON v WOODS (SJ Notice) 168 CA4 1258 [See: CCP 437c; McMahon v Superior Court 106 CA4 112, P/AT 3/03; Urshan v Musicians' 120 CA4 758, P/AT 9/04]
