JANE DOE VS. CHRISTIAN LARSEN ET AL

Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, Line 4. DEFENDANTs CHRISTIAN LARSEN, and RIPPLE LABS INC.'s Motion For Order Determining That Plaintiff Is A Vexatious Litigant.

Defendants Christian Larsen and Ripple Labs Inc.'s motion for an order determining that plaintiff Jane Doe is a vexatious litigant is off calendar and may be re-noticed when a remittitur is issued in Ms. Doe's pending appeal or the court of appeal states that the appeal is concluded and it will not be issuing a remittitur.

Ms. Doe's pending appeal seeks reversal of this court's May 7, 2025 order sustaining defendants' demurrer to the entirety of the first amended complaint filed by Ms. Doe. The current motion is based, at least in part, on the May 7, 2025 order, so that this court currently lacks jurisdiction to rule on the motion. (See Notice of Motion at 2:11-14 relying on the May 7, 2025 order for defendants' assertions to satisfy the requirements of the vexatious litigant statute that there is no reasonable probability that Ms. Does will prevail against defendants and her claims in this case have no merit and were filed for the purposes of harassment or delay.)

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.

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/HEK) | |
