(Cuevas)

I was the first one to report on both these cases CV2401803 Jessica Sprague vs Commerce Enterprises. This is the civil case against convicted Maria Cuevas as well as Ms. Jennifer Dixon's lawsuit against Commerce Enterprises CV2500534. On 1/16/26, there was a hearing on the motion. Humboldt Superior Court Judge Timothy Canning has taken the matter under submission.

I was the only one to regularly cover in detail Cuevas' criminal case and conviction for gross vehicular manslaughter and both these civil cases.

There is a hearing scheduled on 1/23 on a motion for protective order filed by Commerce Enterprise. Trial setting is scheduled on 6/5/26.

I have included court minutes from 1/16/26 and  Commerce Enterprise's motion and Janssen Malloy's Mr. William Stein's notice of change in authority and court minutes for 1/23/26.

Mr. Stein represents Jessica Sprague. Ms. Heidi Holmquist represents Jennifer Dixon. Commerce Enterprises is represented by Murphy, Pearson, Bradley and Feeney.
