T. Dorius v. SSA Architecture & Planning, Inc. et al

Matter on calendar for Tuesday, August 12, 2025, Line 8, DEFENDANTS SSA ARCHITECTURE & PLANNING, INC., AND SALLY SWANSON ARCHITECT, INC.'S DEMURRER TO AMENDED COMPLAINT.

Plaintiff T. Dorius has submitted a late-filed opposition. The declaration in support of SSA Architecture & Planning Inc. et al.'s demurrer demonstrates that Defendants' counsel attempted multiple meet and confer efforts to which Plaintiff's counsel did not respond. The court orders Plaintiff's counsel to comply with the meet and confer obligations of CCP 430.41, which requires that the parties conduct a meet and confer in person, or by telephone or video conference. The court orders the demurrer off calendar and extends the time for defendants to respond to the complaint to September 12, 2025.

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) | |
