Stewart v. Extended Stay America
Plaintiff Troy Stewart occupied a room at an Extended Stay America hotel for more than a year. Hotel staff asked Stewart to leave, Stewart refused, and the hotel evicted Stewart through an unlawful detainer action. Stewart sued Extended Stay America, Inc. and ESA Management, LLC, as well as two ESA employees, respondents Ashe Ajmera and Sophia Nguyen. Against Ajmera and Nguyen, Stewart alleged causes of action for fraudulent concealment; violation of the Unfair Competition Law, Business and Professions Code section 17200, et seq. (section 17200 or UCL); and invasion of privacy.
Ajmera and Nguyen demurred, asserting that Stewart’s complaint failed to alleged facts sufficient to state any of the alleged causes of action. The trial court sustained the demurrer with leave to amend. Stewart did not amend his complaint, and Ajmera and Nguyen moved to dismiss the action against them. The court granted the motion. Stewart appealed, asserting that the trial court erred.
