Notice Of Motion And Preliminary Motion To Seal
Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Thursday January 15, 2026, Line 15. 1 - PLAINTIFF MATTHEW RAINE, and MARIA RAINE's Motion And Preliminary Motion To Seal.
Plaintiffs Matthew Raine and Maria Raine's Preliminary Motion To Seal is CONTINUED TO MARCH 18, 2026 AT 9 AM IN THIS DEPARTMENT.
The parties are advised that based on a review of California Rules of Court, rule 3.400 et seq and the docket to date, the court understands this case is likely complex, yet the parties have not yet applied for complex designation. The court orders the parties forthwith to meet and confer regarding complex designation and pursue complex designation under California Rules of Court, rule 3.403(b) and San Francisco Local Rule, rule 3.5(C)(2)&(3). The court's notice denying complex designation for failure to file an application is not a bar to filing an application.
If any matter is noticed for this department in the future, the parties must file a joint statement regarding the status of complex designation at the time the motion is filed. The parties are ordered to file such a joint statement five court days before the continued hearing on this motion with a courtesy copy delivered to the department within 24 hours of lodging the statement for filing.
Moving Party must prepare a proposed order which repeats verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and email it to contestdept302tr@sftc.org prior to the time set for hearing. Moving Party is ordered promptly to serve notice of the executed order.
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. (Dept. 302 Zoom ID 160 409 7690; Passcode 516287.) 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 contestdept302tr@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.
