PETITIONER’S MOTION TO SEAL PORTIONS OF PETITIONER’S OPPOSITION TO RESPONDENT’S MOTION TO DISQUALITY QUINN EMANUEL URQUHART & SULLIVAN, LLP [Filed 10/30/2025]

TENTATIVE RULING: The motion is DENIED AS MOOT.

This Motion was set for hearing on short notice, pursuant to Petitioner’s 6/3/26 Ex Parte Application. While the Declaration of Melinda H. Lewis in Support of Petitioner’s Ex Parte Application (“Lewis Decl.”) contends that the present Motion was unopposed before it was taken off calendar on 2/2/26, if that contention is inconsistent with Respondent’s understanding, and the Motion is, in fact, opposed and Respondent disagrees with this Tentative Ruling, her counsel should request oral argument pursuant to Local Rule 2.9 and appear at the hearing.

The moving party failed to include in the notice of this motion proper notice of the Court’s tentative ruling system as required by Local Rule 2.9. Moving party is directed to immediately provide, by telephone call AND email, the missing notice to opposing party/ies forthwith. The requirements for requesting oral argument under Local Rule 2.9 remain in effect. However, the Court may grant belated requests for oral argument or continuance of hearing, made by any party who represents it did not timely receive the required notice, regardless of whether or not moving party is present at the hearing.

Petitioner Jesse Powell moves, pursuant to Rules of Court rules 2.550 and 2.551, for an order sealing portions of Petitioner’s 10/30/25 Opposition to Respondent’s 10/16/25 Petition to Disqualify and portions of the 10/30/25 Declarations of Jesse Powell and Alex Spiro in Support of Petitioner’s Opposition to Respondent’s 10/16/25 Petition to Disqualify (collectively, the “Subject Documents”).

Redacted copies of the three Subject Documents are in the Court file, and unredacted copies were lodged with the Court on October 30, 2025. (See Notice of Lodging of Documents
