Requirement

Criminal and Traffic Matters Remote appearances may be authorized in select circumstances and in certain proceedings pursuant to Penal Code § 977.3. If you are represented by an attorney, contact your attorney before requesting a remote appearance. Judicial approval is required for all remote appearances. In some instances, the judicial officer may grant remote appearances for the duration of a case. Even if such notice or waiver applies, a new CourtCall meeting link is required for each hearing. The platform divides users into two groups – “parties” and “Ad hoc participants.” Parties, for purposes of the remote appearance platform, include individuals or entities listed in the court’s official record (including attorneys, businesses, etc.). Ad hoc participants, for purposes of the remote appearance platform, include anyone not listed as a party in the court’s official record, such as witnesses, interpreters, court reporters, victims, or agencies (county, state, federal, hospitals, etc.). Scheduling instructions for both groups are provided below. Regardless of the scheduling process, judicial approval is required before appearing in court remotely. Request and Notice Process To request a telephonic or video appearance via CourtCall, the following requirements must be met: File a Request for Remote Appearance and Order (GR.060[AB1] ) form at least five (5) court days before the hearing. The court will notify the requestor if the remote appearance is approved or denied. If approved, parties will be required to schedule themselves for remote appearances. Ad hoc participants who are approved for a remote appearance must contact the court so they can schedule the remote appearance. Scheduling for a Remote Appearance after Approval Parties who need to schedule their own remote appearance can do so by visiting CourtCall’s Remote Court Scheduler (RCS) website. Ad hoc participants who need the court to schedule their remote appearance can do so by calling the appropriate case-type division at the court for assistance.

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-10 (California T4 Butte build 2026-10-10) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-butte/pages/online-services__remote-appearances__criminal-and-traffic-matters.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-10; 621718 bytes, sha256 4b6ece59a4acee1af57d8ef4bc1dbbaef3c0e382c9d0dd608fb4beabf8d8a978) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero; the first banner's heading, the page title, is chrome) - the site header, menus, breadcrumb and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line and each table cell is set on its own line; chrome removed: none; proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page asks for form GR.060 at least five (5) court days before the hearing; Rule 1.10(E)(2)(a) (carded) asks for it at least five (5) calendar days before (the review task on Rule 1's card).
