RYAN STEELE PROPERTIES, INC. VS. JONATHAN SHEETS ET AL

Matter on the Law & Motion / Discovery calendar for Thursday, September 18, 2025, Line 9. PLAINTIFF RYAN STEELE PROPERTIES, INC.'s (1) Petition To Compel Arbitration And (2) Motion To Stay Proceedings. Hearing required.

The court cannot discern from the opposition whether Defendants and Cross-complainants oppose the motion on its merits (i.e. they do not want to arbitrate the parties' dispute) or whether they raise only procedural concerns and simply want to avoid attorneys' fees on the motion.

For the 9:00 a.m. calendar, all attorneys and parties may appear in Department 301 remotely or in person. Remote hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom. (Dept. 301 Zoom ID 161 502 4290; Passcode 700956.) 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 contestdept301tr@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.

The court no longer provides a court reporter in the Law & Motion or Discovery 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. =(301/CVA) | |
