The following excerpt is from Cross v. HFLP Dolphin Beach, LLC, Case No.: 15CV2506-MMA (DHB) (S.D. Cal. 2017):

5. A verified complaint may have evidentiary value as an affidavit. See Schroeder v. McDonald, 55 F.3d 454, 460 (9th Cir. 1995) (stating that if based on personal knowledge and setting forth admissible facts, "[a] verified complaint may be used as an opposing affidavit" for purposes of summary judgment); Klian v. Crawford, No. CV1202373MMMJEMX, 2012 WL 12878721, at *2 (C.D. Cal. June 6, 2012) ("A verified complaint can, if based on personal knowledge, serve as the equivalent of an affidavit for purposes of a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction.").
