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 requirement category is unique to this judge among current division peers — the traps here are shared, not judge-specific.
Shared categories (Judge Preferences, Trial Exhibits, Special Set Hearings, Motion Calendar, Meet & Confer, Case Management, Divisional Instructions, Remote / Zoom Hearings, Proposed Orders, Courtesy Copies) still differ in the details — read the requirement cards, not just the labels.
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.
