P0985 A San Francisco Superior Court General Order permitting an expedited motion for summary judgment in an asbestos case to be made on 60 days notice and based solely on an attorney's certification that plaintiff's discovery responses fail to identify evidence showing exposure to asbestos for which defendant is responsible is invalid because it conflicts with Code of Civil Procedure requirements that a motion for summary judgment be made at least 75 days before the time appointed for hearing and supported by evidence.CitationBOYLE v CERTAINTEED (Local Rule) 137 CA4 645 [See: SF County SuperCt Gen Order 157; CCP 437c; Rutherford v Owens 16 C4 953, T/AT 10/97: Sierra Craft v Magnum 64 CA4 1252, T/AT 7/98]
