KATHRYN RUTH KASCH ET AL VS. OWL, INC., DBA OWL TRANSPORTATION ET AL
Jul 12, 2024 |
CGC23607827
Matter on the Discovery Calendar for Friday, Jul-12-2024, Line 5, 2-PLAINTIFF KATHRYN KASCH'S Motion To Compel Further Response To Requests For Production Of Documents And For Sanctions. Pro Tem Judge William Lynn, a member of the California State Bar who meets all the requirements set forth in CRC 2.812 to serve as a temporary judge, has been assigned to hear this motion. Prior to the hearing all parties to the motion will be asked to sign a stipulation agreeing that the motion may be heard by the Pro Tem Judge. If all parties to the motion sign the stipulation, the hearing will proceed before the Judge Pro Tem who will decide the motion with the same authority as a Superior Court Judge. If a party appears by telephone, the stipulation may be signed via fax or consent to sign given by email. If not all parties to the motion sign the stipulation, the Pro Tem Judge will hold a hearing on the motion and, based on the papers submitted by the parties and the hearing, issue a report in the nature of a recommendation to the Dept. 302 Judge, who will then decide the motion. If a party does not appear at the hearing, the party will be deemed to have stipulated that the motion will be decided by the Pro Tem Judge with the same authority as a Superior Court Judge. The Pro Tem Judge has issued the following tentative ruling: The motions are denied as the time for a motion to compel further responses pursuant to C.C.P. Sec. 2031.310 has passed, and the parties did not have a "specific later date to which the propounding party and the responding party have agreed in writing," therefore, the moving party has waived any right to compel a further response. C.C.P. Secs. 2023.300(c), 2031.310(c); Sexton v. Superior Court, 58 Cal. App. 4th 1403, 1410 (1997). The parties' mutual mistake that they can have an open deadline for discovery motions does not and cannot supersede or otherwise alter Civil Discovery Act's explicit requirement of a "specific later date." For the 9:00 a.m. Discovery calendar, all attorneys and parties are required to appear remotely. Hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom. To appear at the hearing, go to the court's website at sfsuperiorcourt.org under "Online Services," navigate to "Tentative Rulings," and click on the appropriate link (DISCOVERY, DEPARTMENT 302 DAILY AT 9:00 A.M.), or dial the corresponding number and use the meeting ID, and password for Discovery Department 302. Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to williamclynn@gmail.com with a copy to all other parties by 4pm stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests. The subject line of the email shall include the line number, case name and case number. If the tentative ruling is not contested, the parties are deemed to have stipulated to the Pro Tem hearing the motion and the Pro Tem will sign an order confirming the tentative ruling. The prevailing party is required to prepare a proposed order repeating verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must e-mail it to the Judge Pro Tem. The court no longer provides a court reporter in the Discovery Department. Parties may retain their own reporter, who may appear remotely. A retained reporter must be a California certified court reporter (CSR), for only a CSR's transcript may be used in California courts. If a CSR is being retained, include in your email all of the following: their name, CSR and telephone numbers, and their individual work email address. =(302/JPT)

THE ESTATE OF TEOFILO FERRER ET AL VS. SUTTER HEALTH, A BUSINESS ENTITY ET AL

CGC23607228
Matter on the Law & Motion calendar for Wednesday, July 10, 2024, Line 7. DEFENDANT SUTTER HEALTH AND CALIFORNIA PACIFIC MEDICAL CENTER's DEMURRER to 2ND Amended COMPLAINT. Defendants' demurrer to the second amended complaint's (SAC) medical battery count is overruled. For the pleading stage, the SAC adequately alleges medical battery - that a nurse gave decedent a third drug dose at 3:20 p.m. without his consent and without a doctor's order. (SAC 9:2-10:16; CACI 530A.) Defendants point to another SAC passage which says the nurse's note regarding the 3:20 dose "implies she received a verbal order from" a doctor. (Memo. 4:22-25; SAC 6:2-6.) This can be explored in discovery. In any event, a complaint "may plead in the alternative;" factually and/or legally inconsistent allegations are permissible. (Adams v. Paul (1995) 11 Cal.4th 583, 593.) For the 9:30 a.m. Law & Motion calendar, all attorneys and parties may appear in Department 302 remotely. Remote hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom.

The subject line of the email shall include the line number, case name and case number. The text of the email shall include the name and contact information, including email address, of the attorney or party who will appear at the hearing. Counsel for the prevailing party is required to prepare a proposed order which repeats verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must email it to contestdept302tr@sftc.org prior to the hearing even if the tentative ruling is not contested.
