Judge — Department S28, San Bernardino Justice Center, 247 West Third Street, San Bernardino, Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino
3 verified rules specific to this judge's division, grouped by requirement category. 95 total requirements apply in this courtroom across all layers — the Full Premium Report assembles the complete stack.
No judge-level deadline on record runs shorter than a statewide deadline with the same trigger. The sentinel compares quoted timing across every published rule scoped to this judge on each visit — a clean result today is re-earned tomorrow.
Department S28's list of the discovery the parties are entitled to in lemon law cases: the purchase or lease contract; repair orders and invoices; communications with the dealer, factory representative or call center; warranty claims; the warranty policy and procedure manual; internal analyses of the claimed defects; repurchase policies under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act; similar customer complaints; Technical Service Bulletins or Recall Notices; and documents supporting incidental and consequential damages.
Department S-28's trial setting orders for unlimited civil matters (Judge M. Sachs): the documents for the readiness calendar under SBC Local Rule 411 et seq. (motions in limine under Local Court Rules 411.2 and 415, joint witness and exhibit lists on the court's template, and, for jury trials, the joint statement of the case, joint proposed jury instructions and any special verdict form, and the trial brief); and the sua sponte rulings for trial (witness notice, exclusion of witnesses, and no reference to settlement, insurance, other claims or a party's wealth without permission).
No judge-scoped deadlines on this tab. Deadlines are extracted only when the source rule text states them — we never infer or calculate dates the rule does not explicitly contain.
Timing shown here is quoted from the rule text. Compute your actual date against the court's calendar and the rule itself — not legal advice.
No verified ruling summary yet. BenchPath generates ruling summaries from opinion and docket corpora (CourtListener where covered) and publishes them only after human review — fabricated judicial analytics are exactly what this platform refuses to ship.
