Airbnb, Inc. Small Claims Case Number: 2080083356 To the Honorable Court: | am writing on behalf of Airbnb, Inc. ("Airbnb"), the named Defendant in the matter referenced above to request that this court dismiss Plaintiff Farid Abooameri's complaint in this matter, Case Number 2080083356, currently scheduled for October 14, 2020 at 8:30AM PST. On May 15, 2020, Mr. Abooameri filed his complaint in this court seeking a refund of $408.90 for a trip that he cancelled allegedly due to the coronavirus pandemic. (See Complaint, Exhibit A.) Airbnb is not legally obligated to pay a refund to Mr. Abooameri. On May 20, 2020, Mr. Abooameri initiated a chargeback dispute with his financial institution to obtain his refund, which he has since won. Mr. Abooameri received his refund through the chargeback process for $408.90 on August 12, 2020. (See Exhibit B.) Accordingly, Mr. Abooameri's claim for damages against Airbnb has been satisfied and Airbnb respectfully requests that the court dismiss Mr. Abooameri's Complaint. Airbnb wishes to reiterate that it is not able to have a representative appear in person on its behalf in this small claims hearing. To protect our employees from the risk of infection from the COVlD-19 global pandemic, all Airbnb employees are working remotely and all business-related travel has been suspended. To the extent that the Court wishes either Airbnb or Mr. Abooameri to address the issues in this motion, or proceed with the hearing as scheduled, Airbnb respectfully requests that the Court allow it’s employee representative to appear by telephone in this matter. Thank you for your consideration. Best Regards, /s/ J. Summerfield J. Summerfield for Airbnb, Inc.
