The article indicated it was a federal trial. California laws would not be a factor.

State law claims are tried in federal courts all the time under subject matter jurisdiction and joinder rules. Both state and federal claims are probably at issue here. PACER would yield the answer.

A San Francisco judge heard the case because this happened in Fremont (just a handful of miles away).

So OP's point still applies.
