Matter on the Law & Motion / Discovery calendar for Tuesday, August 26, 2025, Line 6. 4 - PLAINTIFF KEVIN NIDUAZA's Motion To Compel Defendant Volkswagen Group Of America, Inc.'s Further Responses To Requests For Production Of Documents, Set One, And Request For Monetary Sanctions.
This motion originally came on for hearing on July 15, 2025. The court ordered the parties to meet and confer and directed moving party Kevin Niduaza to file a supplemental brief nine court days in advance of the continued hearing date to inform the court what, if any, items remain in dispute. Niduaza has filed no supplemental brief and the court therefore denies further relief, inferring that the parties have resolved the discovery disputes at issue in this motion.
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 Defendant 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.
