HONORABLE MICHAEL L. MAU, Department 20 ________________________________________________________________________ 9:00 AM Line 6 25-CIV-04755 JANE DOE VS. CHARLES WILLIAM BUSSMANN, ET AL

JANE DOE ALAN I. SCHIMMEL CHARLES WILLIAM BUSSMANN CHARLES J. SMITH

Defendants’ (Amended) Motion to Compel T-Mobile USA, Inc.’s Compliance with Deposition Subpoena for Production of Business Records

TENTATIVE RULING:

Defendants seek to compel compliance with a subpoena issued on December 31, 2025, to T-Mobile USA, Inc., for cell phone records of Plaintiff Jane Doe and her mother, Joanne Price.

Prior to Defendants filing this motion to compel, Plaintiff filed a motion to quash the subpoena. Plaintiff also filed a motion to quash an apparently redundant subpoena for the same records of Ms. Price only.

Based on this Court’s rulings granting Plaintiff’s motions to quash (on today’s calendar as Lines 7 & 8), Defendants’ Motion to Compel is DENIED as moot.

Any party who contests a tentative ruling must email Dept20@sanmateocourt.org with a copy to all other parties by 4:00 p.m. stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests.

If the tentative ruling is uncontested, it shall become the order of the Court. Thereafter, Counsel for the prevailing party shall prepare for the Court’s signature a written order consistent with the Court’s ruling pursuant to CRC Rule 3.1312 and provide written notice of the ruling to all parties who have appeared in the action, as required by law and by the CRC. Please note that Local Rule 3.403(b)(iv) states in part “prevailing party on a tentative ruling is required to prepare a proposed order REPEATING VERBATIM the tentative ruling” (emphasis added). The order should be filed or e-filed only, do not email or mail a hard copy to the Court.
