    MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITES

    I. INTRODUCTION

    ________________[Insert Plaintiff Name(s)], (Plaintiff(s)) complaint is improper a

    not filed in conformity with the law as it is not verified by Plaintiff(s). Indeed, Plaintiff(s)fiits Verified Complaint for Unlawful Detainer on ________________ [Insert Date]. T

    Complaint, however, is not properly verified. Plaintiff(s) attorney, ________________[Ins

    Verifying Attorney Name] improperly attempted to verify the Complaint to circumvent

    requirement that unlawful detainer complaints be verified. ________________ ([Ins

    Verifying Attorney Last Name]) verified the Complaint on the suspect grounds t

    Plaintiff(s)is absent from the county and unable to verify the Complaint this not credib

    Attorney verifications are only permitted where the clients absence from the county makes

    impractical or impossible to obtain the clients signature. Plaintiff(s)surely is not abs

    from ________________ [Insert County Name] nor could its purported absence from

    county make it impractical or impossible to obtain its signature. This is simply a way

    Plaintiff(s) counsel to cut corners. Plaintiff(s) could have easily verified the Complaint

    facsimile, email or mail, and as such, it was not impractical or impossibleto obtain a memb

    of Plaintiff(s)signature. The attorney verification is not permitted and the Complaint

    therefore not verified as required. The Complaint must be stricken and the action dismis

    without prejudice.

    II. STATEMENT OF FACTS

    This is an action for unlawful detainer based on a Notice for Possession (Notice)

    copy of which is attached to the Complaint as Exhibit ________________ [Insert Exhi

    number if applicable]. The Notice is in connection to property located at and common

    known as ________________ ___________________________ [Insert your rental prope

    address] (the Property).

    On or about ________________ [Insert Date of Service of Notice of Possessio

    Plaintiff(s) (again through its legal counsel) served Defendants with the Notice and th

    subsequently filed its Verified Complaint for Unlawful Detainer on ______________

    [Insert Date of Filing]. However, the Complaint is not properly verified as stated in

    Case No. [Insert Case Number

    Complaint, but rather, ________________ [Insert Verifying Attorney Last Name] imprope

    attempted to verify the Complaint. The attorney verification provides:

    _______________________________________________________

    _______________________________________________________

    __________________________________________________________ [Insert Relevant Quote from Attorney Verification]

    The verification fails to state any reason why Plaintiff(s) purported absence from

    county makes it impractical or impossible to obtain its signature. Indeed, Plaintiff(s) i

    ________________ [insert description of Plaintiffs business] and is easily accessible

    anyone by telephone, facsimile, their website, email or m

    _______________________________________________________________ [be as detai

    as you can by inserting facts about plaintiff that suggests they would be available to verify t

    complaint, think about your interactions with plaintiff, look on their website regardi

    accessibility, gather email address, any information you have about their availability will

    against the validity of the attorney verification]

    Despite its accessibility, Plaintiff(s) failed to verify the Complaint and the Compla

    only contains an improper verification from ________________[Insert Verifying Attorney L

    Name].

    III. DISCUSSION

    A. The Complaint Must Be Stricken Because the Complaint for UnlawDetainer is Not Verified as Required

    Code of Civil Procedure section 436 provides that the court may strike out any improp

    matter inserted in a pleading or any part of any pleading not drawn or filed in conformity w

    the laws of this state. In limited civil cases for unlawful detainer, the plaintiff is required

    plead facts in a verified complaint, otherwise the action is subject to dismissal witho

    prejudice. C.C.P. 396a(a). The only time the plaintiffs attorney may verify the complain

    when the plaintiff is absent from the county where the attorney has his or her office or

    otherwise unable to verify, or the facts are within the personal knowledge of the attorn

    verifying the complaint. C.C.P. 446;League of Women Voters v. Eu (1992) 7 Cal. App.
