Jorge O. Almada Nagy and Woodex v. Retail Capital LLC dba Credibly; Credibly of Arizona LLC

Summary

The United States District Court for the Southern District of California denied Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment concerning Defendants’ counterclaims and Plaintiffs’ equitable relief claims. The court held that genuine disputes of material fact remained regarding whether Plaintiff Almada signed the Receivables Purchase Agreement and whether an enforceable contract existed, citing conflicts among his declaration, deposition testimony, and a recorded verification call.

Holdings

1. Summary judgment was improper because genuine disputes of material fact remained regarding whether Almada signed or agreed to the Receivables Purchase Agreement and whether an enforceable contract existed.
2. The court overruled defendants' objections to the extent they concerned evidence relied upon by the court and denied the remaining objections as moot because defendants did not show that the challenged facts could not be presented in admissible form at trial.

Questions Presented

1. Whether plaintiffs were entitled to summary judgment on their claims and defendants' counterclaims based on their contention that the Receivables Purchase Agreement was forged and no enforceable contract existed.
2. Whether the conflicting declaration, deposition testimony, and verification-call evidence concerning whether Almada signed or agreed to the Receivables Purchase Agreement created genuine disputes of material fact precluding summary judgment.
3. Whether defendants' evidentiary objections required exclusion of evidence at the summary-judgment stage.
