Notice Of Motion For Sanctions For Failure To Comply With Court Order Compelling Plaintiff To Respond To Requests For Production Of Documents In Aid Of Execution And Interrogatories In Aid Of Execution
Matter on the LAW AND MOTION / DISCOVERY CALENDAR for Friday, AUG-07-2026. LINE 6. DEFENDANT TRACY THOMPSON's Motion For Sanctions For Failure To Comply With Court Order Compelling Plaintiff To Respond To Requests For Production Of Documents In Aid Of Execution And Interrogatories In Aid Of Execution. Ordered off calendar in light of the automatic appellate stay.
Plaintiff Rachel Meyer has now posted a bond, which stays execution of the judgment of attorneys' fees while Meyer appeals from the anti-SLAPP order. Defendant Tracy Thompson raises no issue about the adequacy of the bond. The discovery requests that gave rise to the court order that Thompson seeks to enforce are in aid of execution of the judgment. The posting of a bond guarantees the payment of the judgment if it is affirmed.
Assuming the court has jurisdiction over this discovery dispute notwithstanding the automatic stay, the court declines to exercise it until the appeal has concluded. Thompson may refile after the appeal has concluded.
For the 9:00 a.m. calendar, all attorneys and parties may appear in Department 301 remotely or in person. Remote hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom. (Dept. 301 Zoom ID 161 502 4290; Passcode 700956.) 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 contestdept301tr@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 text of the email shall include the name and contact information, including email address, of the attorney or party who will appear at the hearing.
The court no longer provides a court reporter in the Law & Motion or Discovery Department. Parties may retain their own reporter, who may appear in the courtroom or remotely.
