SF Superior Court - Law & Motion / Discovery Dept 301 - CGC24613355 - November 24, 2025 Hearing date: November 24, 2025 Case number: CGC24613355 Case title: CAROLINA MAGALLANES MOLINA ET AL VS. YOGESH B. PARIKH ET AL Case Number: | | CGC24613355 | Case Title: | | CAROLINA MAGALLANES MOLINA ET AL VS. YOGESH B. PARIKH ET AL | Court Date: | | 2025-11-24 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | Motion For Leave To Compel Independent Mental Exam Of Plaintiff Carolina Magallanes Molina | Rulings: | | On the Law and Motion/Discovery calendar for November 24, 2025, line 3. DEFENDANT UBER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.'S Motion For Leave To Compel Independent Mental Exam Of Plaintiff Carolina Magallanes Molina.

1. The motion is untimely under CCP 2024.010 and 2024.020(a).

2. In May of 2025, defendant filed a motion to continue trial on the basis that plaintiff recently disclosed that she had a head injury. (Ladva Decl., Ex. A.) Per the parties stipulation of June 30, 2025, the court continued the trial date to December 15, 2025. The parties also agreed that the new discovery cutoff would be based on that trial date. Despite knowing that it needed to file a motion and obtain an order to conduct the mental examination (CCP 2032.310(a)), defendant did not file a motion until the eve of trial. The request is untimely under CCP 2024.010 because the discovery needed to be completed (or the examination commence) at least 30-days before the current trial date. (CCP 2024.020(a).)

3. If the Presiding Judge grants the pending motion to continue the trial date and extends the discovery cut-off motion may be renewed.
