CITIBANK, N.A. VS. SARA REGAN

Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Thursday January 08, 2026, Line 4. Plaintiff Citibank, N.A.'s Motion For [sic] Set Aside Judgment is OFF CALENDAR.

Plaintiff served this motion on December 18, 2025, filed it on December 19, 2025, and noticed it for hearing on January 8, 2026. Service and filing were untimely. (See Code of Civil Procedure section 1005(b) [motion must be filed and served 16 court days before hearing]; Code of Civil Procedure section 1013(a) [service by mail where place of address or place of mailing is within State of California adds 5 calendar days to "any period of notice"]; see Code of Civil Procedure section 1010.6(a)(3)(B) [service by email adds two court days to "any period of notice"].)

Further, the motion is unsupported by any memorandum or evidence. Plaintiff may have intended to advance the January 22, 2026 hearing on a differently titled motion. The court will not infer this, given the different titles. In any event, the effort to advance fails because the notice was not timely served or filed. The January 22, 2026 hearing remains on calendar.

For the 9:00 a.m. calendar, all attorneys and parties may appear in Department 302 remotely or in person. Remote hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom. (Dept. 302 Zoom ID 160 409 7690; Passcode 516287.) To appear remotely 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, or dial the corresponding phone number.

Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to contestdept302tr@sftc.org 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. 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.

The court no longer provides a court reporter in the Law & Motion Department. Parties may retain their own reporter, who may appear in the courtroom or 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/JMQ) | |
