DEFENDANT CLOUDFLARE, INC.'S MOTION TO STRIKE 1ST Amended COMPLAINT. The motion to strike is denied. The court agrees that portions of the First Amended Complaint do not comply with Code of Civil Procedure 425.10, subd. (a)(1) ["ordinary and concise language"] and include evidentiary rather than ultimate facts. The court also notes that the task of adjudicating pleadings motions is made much more difficult by Plaintiff's prolix complaint. Nevertheless, the cited allegations qualify as background for the claims. The court liberally construes the pleading per CCP 452 and there is no point in excising the cited allegations. (See PH II, Inc. v. Superior Court (1995) 33 Cal.App.4th 1680, 1683 ["We emphasize that such use of the motion to strike should be cautious and sparing. We have no intention of creating a procedural 'line item veto' for the civil defendant."].)
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) | |
