Case Number: | | CGC25622395 | Case Title: | | UBER TECHNOLOGIES, INC. VS. DOORDASH, INC. | Court Date: | | 2025-12-08 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | Motion To Compel Further Responses To Special Interrogatories (Nos. 2-6) | Rulings: | | On the Law and Motion/Discovery calendar for December 8, 2025, line 4. DEFENDANT DOORDASH, INC.'S Motion To Compel Further Responses To Special Interrogatories (Nos. 2-6).

The court grants DoorDash's motion to compel further responses to special interrogatories in part and continues it in part for further hearing.

No. 2: Uber shall supplement to provide titles and contact information (or state that individuals may be contacted through counsel) within two weeks. No further response is ordered.

No. 3: Uber shall supplement to provide titles and contact information (or state that individuals may be contacted through counsel) within two weeks. The court does not see the relevance of identification of individuals with product development knowledge.

No. 4: The parties agree that Uber's ongoing production of contracts may resolve their dispute about this interrogatory. The court continues the matter for hearing on this interrogatory to January 9, 2026. The parties shall submit a joint supplemental brief no later than five court days in advance of the continued hearing date apprising the court of any continued dispute.

Nos. 5-6: Regarding customers L and Q, Uber may avoid the obligation of providing information related to them in response to these interrogatories by stipulating that these customers do not form the basis of its claim. This is the manner required by the Code to remove other areas of inquiry from discovery and the court adopts it here. (See, e.g., Code Civ. Proc. 2032.320, subd. (b).) Without a stipulation, Uber must supplement as to this interrogatory. The parties may continue to meet and confer based on production and the court will take up any remaining dispute about these interrogatories at the January 9 hearing.

The court gives notice to both parties that its ordinary practice is to grant sanctions against a party that has unsuccessfully made or opposed a motion to compel further responses to interrogatories unless it finds substantial justification or unjust circumstances (see Code Civ. Proc. 2030.290, subd. (c) ["shall grant"] [emphasis added]), regardless of whether sanctions were sought. No sanctions are awarded with this order but may be awarded following the continued hearing.

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/CVA) | |
