QOINS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. VS. BOND FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Set for Law and Motion/Discovery Calendar on Wednesday, July 09, 2025, Line 4. PLAINTIFF QOINS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.'s Application To File Motion Under Seal.

Judgment Creditor Qoins Technologies, Inc.'s application to file motion under seal is denied. In order for a California trial court to issue a sealing order, the court must expressly find, among other things, that "A substantial probability exists that the overriding interest will be prejudiced if the record is not sealed;" "The proposed sealing is narrowly tailored;" and "No less restrictive means exist to achieve the overriding interest. (CRC 2.550(d).

Even assuming that Qoins has identified an overriding interest that supports sealing, Qoins' application, based solely on an attorney declaration, provides only conclusions as to the quoted matters that the court must find.(CRC 2.551 (b)(1) (The sealing "application must be accompanied by a memorandum and a declaration containing facts sufficient to justify the sealing.")). The pertinent sentence in the declaration is "Giving notice of Qoins' discovery would only permit Bond to carry out this fraudulent scheme further." Why? By whom? How so? How do you know? These and possibly other key questions are left unanswered.

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.

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.

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 contestdept302tr@sftc.org prior to the hearing even if the tentative ruling is not contested.
