(“KFHP”), filed by defendants Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., and Southern California Permanente Medical Group (hereafter collectively “Kaiser”). The motion should be denied as moot, since UCI Medical Center has filed a request for dismissal of KFHP. After the Court sustained Kaiser’s demurrer to the First Amended Complaint with respect to KFHP, with leave to amend, plaintiff allowed the amendment period to pass, opting to not attempt to state a claim against KFHP and instead proceed only against the other two Kaiser entities. After Kaiser counsel requested a formal dismissal of KFHP, plaintiff agreed to file one. Said request for dismissal of KFHP was filed and mail served on April 4, 2016, obviating the need for the instant motion. Dated: April 15, 2016 LAW OFFICES OF STEPHENSON, ACQUISTO & COLMAN, INC.
