1. DEFENDANT WARWICK AMUSEMENTS CORPORATION'S Motion For Protective Order As To The Depositions Of Defendant'S PMQ. Defendant Warwick Amusements Corporation's motion for a protective order is DENIED.
Under Code of Civil Procedure section 2025.420, "[t]he court, for good cause shown, may make any order that justice requires to protect any party, deponent, or other natural person or organization from unwarranted annoyance, embarrassment, or oppression, or undue burden and expense." Here, Defendant has failed to demonstrate good cause warranting a protective order. The parties' failure to come to an agreement during meet and confer efforts is not good cause sufficient for the court to issue a protective order.
Defendant's motion for sanctions against Plaintiff is denied. The record does not show Defendant Warwick Amusements Corporation acted with substantial justification with respect to this discovery. Defendant Warwick Amusements Corporation shall pay $400 as sanctions, payable to the court by way of the clerk of the court (a copy of this order to accompany payment), payment no later than by January 5, 2026, receipt filed no later than January 12, 2026. (See Code of Civil Procedure sections 2023.010, 2023.030, 2025.420(h).) This amount reflects a modest portion of the court's cost addressing this motion.
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) | |
