CAILIN HARDELL VS. BLUMBERG CAPITAL ET AL

Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Thursday, April 30, 2026, Line 2. Blumberg Defendants' Motion For Attorneys' Fees And Costs is before the court. HEARING REQUIRED.

On March 24, 2026, the court denied Plaintiff's and Defendants' respective motions to seal. Both orders provided as follows: "Under California Rules of Court, rule 2.551(B)(6), [Moving Party or Parties has/have] ten days to notify the court that the records they have lodged are to be filed unsealed; absent such notification, the clerk must return or permanently delete the lodged records."

Neither party filed a notice that the records they have lodged are to be filed unsealed. Thus, the court has permanently deleted the lodged records, which include the redacted and unredacted versions of the filings. This means there is currently no opposition to the motion on file, nor is there any evidence supporting an opposition (i.e., no Baker Declaration). Nor is there a Gillan Declaration in support of Defendants' reply and Defendants' reply brief should be stricken because it relies on evidence (i.e., the Gillian Declaration) not before the court. It would be surprising if this is the record the parties intend.

Moving Defendants must prepare a proposed order which repeats verbatim the above text and email it to contestdept302tr@sftc.org prior to the time set for hearing.

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. 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 Department. Parties may retain their own reporter, who may appear in the courtroom or remotely. A retained reporter must be a California certified court reporter (CSR), for only a CSR's transcript may be used in California courts. If a CSR is being retained, include in your email all of the following: their name, CSR and telephone numbers, and their individual work email address. =(302/JMQ) | |
