Judge: Mark H. Epstein, Case: 23SMCV04441, Date: 2024-04-22 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 23SMCV04441    Hearing Date: April 22, 2024    Dept: I

The application to move the various discovery hearings to a single date is GRANTED.  The various hearings will all be held on May 3, 2024 at 9 am.  Briefing, however, will go forward based on the originally scheduled hearing dates.  That means that the two hearings set for April 26, 2024, are advanced to this day and continued to May 3, 2024, at 9 am.  The hearing set for April 30, 2024, is advanced to this date and continued to May 3, 2024, at 9 am.  The opposition is unconvincing.  The court sees no reason to have these related hearings span over three days and all the application seeks is to hear them on the same day.  The court does not intend to hear argument on this matter today.
