SECTION 11 RULES RELATING TO TRAFFIC INFRACTION TRIALS RULE 11.01 TYPES OF CASES Special traffic infraction trial calendars are established for the trial of infraction matters not involving accidents, in which the defendant is in pro per. They include all infractions identified in state statutes or codes, or city or county ordinance codes. (Amended, effective 7/1/15, and previously adopted, effective 7/1/92) RULE 11.02 TIME AND PLACE Infraction trials shall be held Mondays at 3:30 p.m., or set on special calendars to be announced by the court, from time to time. (Amended, effective 7/1/15, and previously amended, effective 7/1/01) RULE 11.03 SCHEDULING AND BAIL All defendants requesting an infraction court trial shall post bail pursuant to Vehicle Code Section 40519 and only upon receipt of bail shall a date for trial be set. The requirement to post bail can only be waived by the court under unusual circumstances where the interest of justice so requires. The posting of bail is necessary to guarantee the appearance of the defendant and to apply toward the payment of any fine or assessment prescribed by the court in the event of conviction. Bail shall include all assessments under Section 42006 of the Vehicle Code and Section 1464 of the Penal Code. (Adopted, effective 7/1/92) RULE 11.04 APPEARANCES No party shall be represented by counsel on the special traffic infraction trial calendars identified in this Rule. The defendant shall be present or the matter will proceed in accordance with Vehicle Code Section 40512.5, which reads, in pertinent part, as follows: "Section 40512.5. If at the time when the case is called for trial the defendant does not appear either in person or by counsel and has not requested in writing that the trial proceed in his or her absence, the Court may declare the bail forfeited and may in its discretion order that no further proceeding be had in the case, or the Court may act pursuant to Section 1043 of the Penal Code. However, if the defendant has been charged with violation of Section 23111 or 23112, or subdivision (a) of Section 23113, and he has been previously convicted of a violation of the same section, the court may declare the bail forfeited, but shall issue a bench warrant for arrest of the person charged, except in cases where the magistrate finds that undue hardship will be imposed upon the defendant by requiring him to appear, the magistrate may declare the bail forfeited and order that no further proceedings shall be had in such case." (A) A party may have witnesses present and may request subpoenas for their appearance, but must do so at least five (5) days prior to the trial date. (B) In the event a party desires to be represented by counsel, the party shall notify the court at least five (5) working days in advance of the scheduled trial date and the matter shall then be reset to an appropriate trial calendar. (Amended, effective 7/1/97) RULE 11.05 CONTINUANCES No continuance of a trial shall be permitted unless the party requesting the continuance requests the same at least five (5) working days in advance of the trial date. No continuance will be granted thereafter unless the interest of justice shall so require. (Adopted, effective 7/1/92)

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-12 (California T4 Colusa build 2026-10-12) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-colusa/docs/local-rules-15-final.pdf (the court's rule book, its cover “COLUSA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT LOCAL RULES REVISED AND EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2015”, as fetched 2026-10-12; 710456 bytes, sha256 ab900b287107469f5cc0e8af39fc1af062663a6299f9ad7ccfc166e02655e0fb; 73 pages; this section PDF pages 48 to 49, printed pages 36 to 37) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): the rules (PDF pages 13 to 65, printed 1 to 53) composed as one text and cut at the sixteen section headings “SECTION 1” to “SECTION 16”, each matched once as a whole line followed by the section's title (a section may begin mid-page); the running header of every page (“COLUSA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT”) and its page number (“- 1 -”), each named and a whole line in its band, removed as chrome - 106 chrome lines; lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs, each rule's number and title (“RULE 1.07 TIMELY APPEARANCE OF COUNSEL AND REQUIRED NOTIFICATION”), each lettered or numbered subdivision starting a line, each section heading and each history line (“(Amended, effective ...)”, “(Adopted, effective ...)”) on a line of its own; the strike report (review/strike-report-2026-10-12.txt) finds 5 struck runs on 2 pages, spaces only (a form's underlined blanks) - the book composed without strike_out; no table on the rule pages; 19 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: three lines wrapped at a parenthesized letter or number the reflow took for a label rejoined - Rules 1.12(C), 15.06(A)(1) and 15.08 - and Rule 15.10's suggested form of summary of account set item by item, each label with its schedule line and “$”); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break, bold, false-break, fragment and row audits (custody file book_extra_audits.py; review/book-extra-audits-2026-10-12.txt and review/book-audits-after-fixes-2026-10-12.txt) list candidates read one by one (build/book_fixes.py) - the rest kept as printed (the rule numbers with their titles on one row, the words of justified title rows, Rule 4.01(3)'s two-line heading, the inner labels of Rules 2.09(B) and 3.10(E)); proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover (PDF page 1), the table of contents (3 to 11), Appendix “A” (the Certification of Attorney Competency form, 67), the index (69 to 73) and four blank pages (2, 12, 66 and 68) belong to no card. Review note: Rule 11.03 (adopted effective 7/1/92) has all defendants requesting an infraction court trial post bail - “only upon receipt of bail shall a date for trial be set” - while the Traffic page (carded) says, citing California Rules of Court, Rule 4.105, “you will not be required to deposit the bail amount if you appear for arraignment or trial unless you elect a statutory procedure that requires the deposit of bail” (a review task).
