|Jennie Bennett, | | No. 20F-H2019002-REL | |Petitioner, | | | |vs. | |ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS | | | | | |Catalina Del Rey Homeowners | | | |Association, | | | |Respondent. | | | | | | |

Pending before the Office of the Administrative Hearings is Respondent Catalina Del Rey Homeowners Association’s Motion To Dismiss (Motion). Petitioner has not filed a response to Respondent’s Motion. At issue in the filing is whether the Petition failed to follow the dispute resolution guidelines set forth in Respondent’s CC&Rs, specifically section 21. The CC&Rs dictate the rules or restrictions the owners of the land must follow in all homeowners associations and property owners associations. On or about July 12, 2019, Petitioner filed the Petition. On or about July 18, 2019, the Arizona Department of Real Estate (Department) notified Respondent of the Petition. There are no documents, filed by Petitioner, that indicate that Petitioner gave Respondent notice of the Petition prior to filing with the Department. Petitioner did not properly adhere to Respondent’s CC&Rs when she failed to provide adequate notice to Respondent and failed to provide Respondent with the opportunity to participate in the dispute resolution, prior to bringing the matter before this venue. Absent Petitioner’s response to the Motion addressing her rationale for not abiding by the provisions of the CC&Rs or applicable statutes that would allow her to pursue an enforcement action in this venue, this matter must be dismissed. IT IS ORDERED granting the Respondent’s Motion and dismissing the Petition. Done this day, October 4, 2019. /s/ Antara Nath Rivera Administrative Law Judge
