GOODLEAP, LLP VS. GENCO, CORP.

Matter on the Law & Motion/Discovery Calendar for Wednesday July 2, 2025, line 11, PETITIONER GOODLEAP, LLP MOTION TO CONFIRM ARBITRATION AWARD

The unopposed petition is denied. Petitioner is seeking confirmation of an interim discovery order by the arbitrator which, inter alia, awards sanctions to petitioner in the amount of $2566.

CCP 1283.05(c) provides of arbitrator discovery orders that "such orders shall be as conclusive, final, and enforceable as an arbitration award on the merits, if the making of any such order that is equivalent to an award or correction of an award is subject to the same conditions, if any, as are applicable to the making of an award or correction of an award." Petitioner makes no showing that the interim discovery order is "equivalent to an award."

This order is without prejudice to petitioner's request for confirmation of the interim discovery order after the arbitration is concluded and a final award has issued, to the extent that the discovery order and its sanctions are not otherwise encompassed within the final award.

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.

Counsel for the moving party is required to prepare a proposed order which repeats verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must email it to contestdept301tr@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 or Discovery Department. Parties may retain their own reporter, who may appear in the courtroom or remotely.
