Ruling

2) REQUEST FOR ORDER – DISCOVERY FACILITATOR PROGRAM - QUASH/MODIFY/VACATE

This matter is set for hearing on Petitioner/Husband’s Requests for Orders “(RFO’s”) to (a) Quash/Modify/Vacate Subpoena filed 3/18/2026 and (b) Quash/Modify/Vacate 2nd Subpoena filed 3/20/2026.

On 7/13/2026, Respondent/Wife filed a Notice of Withdrawal of Subpoenas and of Non-Re- Filing of her Order to Show Cause re: 2nd Contempt (filed on 2/27/2026 and stricken by the Court on 3/27/2027) asks the Court to vacate the 7/24/2026 hearings and the 7/27/2026 arraignment on the OSC re Contempt filed 1/9/2026.

Based on the foregoing, the Court finds the issues raised in the both RFO’s and the OSC re: 2nd Contempt are moot and, therefore, orders as follows:

1. The 7/24/2026 hearings on the RFOs to Quash/Modify/Vacate Subpoena is vacated

2. The 7/24/2026 hearing on Respondent’s OSC re: Contempt filed 1/9/2026 is vacated.

SO ORDERED.

The Court will prepare the order.

Any party who disagrees with the Court's tentative ruling and wishes to have oral argument must notify the Court at (415) 444-7046 and opposing counsel (or if the opposing party is selfrepresented, notice must be given directly to the opposing party) of their intent to appear at the hearing for oral argument by 4:00 pm on the court day before the hearing, as required by

Marin County Superior Court Family Law Local Rules 7.12(B) and (C). Notice may be given by telephone or in person. Absent proper notice, no oral argument will be permitted. If no request for oral argument is made, the tentative ruling will become the order of the Court.

Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, persons who requested oral argument must appear for the hearing in person or remotely via Zoom, in accordance with the Court website guidelines. If appearing remotely via Zoom (video or telephone), you are responsible for ensuring you have adequate connectivity; the Court may proceed in a party’s absence if technical issues arise. Proper Zoom etiquette and courtroom decorum are required, and failure to comply may result in the hearing being halted and an order to appear in person being made.
