SF Superior Court - Law & Motion / Discovery Dept 301 - CPF26519637 - June 4, 2026 Hearing date: June 4, 2026 Case number: CPF26519637 Case title: ALANNA ZABIELSKI VS. AIRBNB, INC. Case Number: | | CPF26519637 | Case Title: | | ALANNA ZABIELSKI VS. AIRBNB, INC. | Court Date: | | 2026-06-04 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | Notice Of Motion And Motion For Relief From Order (Ccp Section 473) | Rulings: | | Matter on the DISCOVERY / LAW AND MOTION Calendar for Thursday, Jun-04-2026. Line 1. PETITIONER ALANNA ZABEL'S Motion For Relief From Order (Ccp Section 473).

Petitioner Alanna Zabielski's motion for relief from an order confirming an arbitration award is denied. The court exercises its discretion to consider Zabielski's untimely motion, which was set with insufficient notice. Respondent Airbnb shows no prejudice. However, Zabielski's reply brief is overlength and the court disregards all pages past the tenth page of substantive briefing. (Rule of Court, 3.1113, subd. (d).)

On the merits, the court denies the motion under both Code of Civil Procedure, Sec. 473, subdivision (b), and Code of Civil Procedure, Sec. 1008. Zabielski was aware of her concern that the arbitrator accessed her social media by February 2026 (Zabielski Decl., Ex. 7) but did not present that concern in her petition to vacate and offers no satisfactory reason for the omission. In any event it does not appear to the court that this fact would have changed the outcome on her motion to vacate.
