Rigoberto Cuevas-Robles, et al. vs Uber Technologies, Inc., et al. , Case No.: 24NWCV00839

This is a personal injury action. Plaintiff Rigoberto Cuevas-Robles applies ex parte for an order advancing the hearing date of Plaintiff’s twelve (12) Motions to Compel Discovery, presently scheduled for April 9, 2025, May 28, 2025, May 29, 2025, June 3, 2025, June 4, 2025, and June 5, 2025, to all be heard on the same date and time on September 30, 2024.

A party may seek ex parte relief upon an affirmative factual showing "irreparable harm, immediate danger, or any other statutory basis for granting relief ex parte." (Cal. R. Ct. 3.1202(c).)

Trial is not currently set in this action. Further, there is a motion to compel arbitration set before this Court on September 24, 2024.

Given the pending motion to Compel arbitration before this Court and the lack of jury trial currently set, the Court finds that Plaintiff has not made an affirmative showing that he would be irreparable harmed during this period of litigation.

Accordingly, Plaintiff Rigoberto Cuevas-Robles ex parte application to advance the twelve motions to compel discovery is DENIED, without prejudice.
