SF Superior Court - Law & Motion / Discovery Dept 301 - CGC25627777 - June 2, 2026 Hearing date: June 2, 2026 Case number: CGC25627777 Case title: MIKHAIL REGELMAN ET AL VS. GOLDEN GATE UROLOGY, INC. ET AL Case Number: | | CGC25627777 | Case Title: | | MIKHAIL REGELMAN ET AL VS. GOLDEN GATE UROLOGY, INC. ET AL | Court Date: | | 2026-06-02 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | MOTION TO STRIKE Amended CROSS COMPLAINT | Rulings: | | On the Law & Motion / Discovery calendar for June 2, 2026, line 14. CROSS DEFENDANTS MIKHAIL REGELMAN, M.D., BRIAN GRADY'S MOTION TO STRIKE Amended CROSS COMPLAINT.

Cross-defendants Mikhail Regelman M.D. and Brian Grady M.D. move to strike those portions of Golden Gate Urology Inc.'s first amended cross-complaint (FACC) that relate to a prayer for punitive damages against each cross-defendant.

As to Regelman, the motion is denied without prejudice as moot. By separate order, the court has sustained with leave to amend some of the causes of action against Regelman that contain punitive damages allegations. GGU may renew its motion to strike if Regelman alleges entitlement to punitive damages in an amended pleading.

As to Grady, the motion is denied. GGU pleads that Grady, a fiduciary of GGU, intentionally caused it to pay extra compensation to Regelman without contractual basis, and intentionally failed to fill out patient records to deprive GGU of revenue. Reading the complaint liberally, these allegations establish malice. Moreover, the harm to patients from incomplete medical records, through a course of conduct intended to cause harm to an entity to whom Grady owed fiduciary duties, adequately pleads despicable conduct or conduct carried out with willful and conscious disregard of the rights or safety of others.
