On Thursday, a California judge denied motions by Uber and Lyft to extend a 10 day stay on his ruling that the ride-hailing companies end the misclassification of their California drivers as independent contractors, not employees, in order to appeal it.

“I am confident that the court of appeal is capable of acting very quickly where it is necessary for it to do so,” said Judge Ethan Schulman at the San Francisco Superior Court hearing. “I am unconvinced that any extension of the 10 day stay is required. Both applications are denied."
