Semianalysis LLC v. Wei Zhou

Set for Law and Motion/Discovery on Monday July 13, 2026, Line 14, PLAINTIFF SEMIANALYSIS LLC A FLORIDA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY's Motion To Compel Arbitration And To Stay Proceedings.

Plaintiff Semianalysis, LLC's motion to compel arbitration and stay proceedings is granted and this case is stayed pending completion of arbitration proceedings on the claims alleged in both the complaint and cross-complaint and the defenses alleged thereto. The order filed in case 635375 on May 19, 2026 resolves this motion. That order addressed all or substantially all of the issues raised by the parties in support of and opposition to this motion.

Defendant Wei Zhou's opposition papers to this motion are the functional equivalent of a motion to reconsider the May 19, 2026 order without identifying any new or different facts, circumstances or law that supports or require a different result. Now that the time has passed to seek reconsideration of the May 19, 2026 order, Wei Zhou's remedy if he disagrees with that order is to seek appellate review, not a contrary order from this court.

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.
