Disposition notice

On October 30, 2026, Judge Monica Ramirez Almadani of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California entered judgment in favor of all defendants and against plaintiff Riverside Healthcare System, L.P. dba Riverside Community Hospital on all claims in Case No. 5:24-cv-00273-MRA-DTB. The one-page judgment states that the court granted the defendants' motions for summary judgment, found all remaining claims preempted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), and denied the plaintiff's motion for leave to amend. The judgment itself contains no developed reasoning; the underlying summary judgment and preemption analysis would appear in the court's earlier orders granting those motions.
