PAUL CAMERA VS. ASAD ULLAH SHAH ET AL

Matter on the Law & Motion and Discovery Calendar for Monday, August 31, 2026, Line 4, 8- DEFENDANT ASAD SHAH's Motion To Compel Plaintiff Parkimon, Inc.'s Responses And Production Of Documents Pursuant To Defendant Asad Ullah Shah'S Request For Production, Set One.

Defendant Asad Ullah Shah's unopposed motion to compel responses to his requests for production of documents, set one, from Parkimon, Inc. is granted. Parkimon shall serve complete, verified responses to the requests for production within 15 days of notice of entry of this order and shall pay reasonable sanctions of $2295 to Shah within 30 days of notice of entry of this order.

The court does not grant Shah's request that the sanctions be payable jointly and severally by Parkimon's counsel. Discovery sanctions against an attorney for misuse of the discovery process are available only against "any attorney advising that conduct" (Code Civ. Proc., sec. 2033.030, subd. (a)), and Shah does not show that Parkimon's counsel advised the failure to respond to discovery.

The court has exercised its discretion to consider Parkimon's late-filed opposition. The opposition makes no representation that RFP responses have been served.

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) | |
