A: Based on the information provided, it appears that you, as the plaintiff pro se (representing yourself), filed a complaint against the defendants who have legal counsel. The defendants filed a demurrer (an objection to the legal sufficiency of the complaint) and a motion to strike (a request to remove certain parts of the complaint) within the allowed time frame, but they did not follow the proper procedural rules, such as failing to include a declaration of good faith attempts to meet and confer with you.

The court issued a tentative ruling on 02/15/2024, striking count #7 of your complaint, denying the defendants' motion to strike the entire complaint, and granting you 20 days to amend counts #1-6 and #8. You filed an amended complaint within the given timeframe.

On 03/07/2024, the court rescheduled the hearing on the demurrer and motion to strike for 06/07/2024 at 8:30 AM. The defendants' response to your amended complaint is currently on hold (frozen).

You believe that the court may be uncertain about the validity of your amended complaint, given that 7 out of the 8 counts were challenged by the defendants and that you are a pro se litigant facing experienced legal counsel. However, you filed your amended complaint in a timely manner and believe that it addresses the court's concerns.

In this situation, you are seeking advice from your colleagues in San Diego or in the legal field about how to proceed, possibly through a "truth or dare" style discussion.

Please note that this is a complex legal matter, and it is advisable to seek professional legal assistance if possible. Pro se litigation can be challenging, especially when facing experienced legal counsel. Consider reaching out to legal aid organizations or low-cost legal clinics for guidance and support.
