Rulings: | | On the Law & Motion / Discovery calendar for May 18, 2026, line 37. PLAINTIFFS DERRICK CHEN, KIET LY'S Renewed Motion To Compel Compliance With Subpoena To Non-Party Jonathan Vazquez.

The renewed motion to compel compliance with a subpoena issued to non-party Jonathan Vazquez is denied. The court rejected this relief by written order dated April 21, 2026. Although moving parties present different evidence on this motion, they make no showing why their evidence could not have been presented in the earlier motion, a requirement for reconsideration under Code of Civil Procedure, section 1008, subdivision (b). (See Shiffer v. CBS Corp. (2015) 240 Cal.App.4th 246, 255 ["the moving party must provide a satisfactory explanation for the failure to produce that evidence at an earlier time."] [citation simplified].)
