Siping Hong v. Mei Yao et al

SF Superior Court - Law & Motion / Discovery Dept 301 - CGC23605121 - December 29, 2025 Hearing date: December 29, 2025 Case number: CGC23605121 Case title: SIPING HONG VS. MEI YAO ET AL Case Number: | | CGC23605121 | Case Title: | | SIPING HONG VS. MEI YAO ET AL | Court Date: | | 2025-12-29 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | Motion To Compel Response To Discovery Requests And For Sanctions | Rulings: | | On the Law & Motion/Discovery calendar for Monday, December 29, 2025, Line 2, PLAINTIFF SIPING ZHONG'S Motion To Compel Response To Discovery Requests And For Sanctions.

Plaintiff Siping Hong's motion to compel discovery responses is denied. Though the motion is not opposed, the motion papers do not include the required separate statement or the interrogatory responses asserted to be deficient. Nor do the motion papers show that there were sufficient meet and confer efforts. Moreover, while it is unclear, it appears that the motion may be untimely since it seeks to compel further responses more than 45 days after service of the assertedly deficient responses.

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 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.

Counsel for the prevailing party is required to prepare a proposed order which repeats verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must email it to contestdept301tr@sftc.org prior to the hearing even if the tentative ruling is not contested.

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. 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. =(301/HEK) | |
