Ruling

Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Tuesday, September 02, 2025, Line 3. PLAINTIFF JULIANA LOPES DEMASI Emergency Motion For Default Judgement And Relief Considering Plaintiff Claims Are Non Opposed; Special Appearances Oppositions Are Invalid.

Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment and Relief Considering Plaintiff's Claims are Non-Opposed, etc., is OFF CALEDNAR. Plaintiff is seeking default judgments against Defendants in this action. But, to do so, she must show proper service on each Defendant, obtain a default from the clerk, and then participate in a prove up hearing to obtain the default judgment.

Defendant The Regents of the University of California persuasively argues that Plaintiff has yet to even serve it. The record demonstrates that Plaintiff has merely attempted to mail the summons and complaint to it under an erroneous name, which does not comply with the service requirements of the California Code of Civil Procedure. (Summons entered March 19, 2024.)

In any event, default judgments are not heard in this department. Defaults and default judgments are handled by the Clerk and Department 505. Plaintiff is directed to San Francisco Superior Court Local Rules (LRSF), rule 6.6.

For the 9:00 a.m. calendar, all attorneys and parties may appear in Department 302 remotely or in person. Remote hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom. (Dept. 302 Zoom ID 160 409 7690; Passcode 516287.) 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 contestdept302tr@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.

The court no longer provides a court reporter in the Law & Motion 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. =(302/JMQ) | |
