SUPERIOR COURT COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO 247 West Third Street, Eleventh Floor San Bernardino, CA 92415 IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO IN RE: FILING LOCATION OF PENAL CODE §§ 1171, 1172.1, 1172.6 and 1172.75 PETITIONS AND DESIGNATION OF ANOTHER JUDGE TO RULE WHEN THE ORIGINAL SENTENCING JUDGE IS UNAVAILABLE GENERAL ORDER #GO26-010 GENERAL ORDER OF THE PRESIDING JUDGE A petition pursuant to Penal Code sections 1171, 1172.1, 1172.6, and 1172.75 is to be filed in the courthouse where the sentencing took place. The Court Executive Office does not accept filings. If the courthouse where sentencing took place no longer hears felony cases, then the petition is to be filed in the courthouse that currently covers the court district in which the original sentencing took place. For example, if sentencing took place in the Fontana Courthouse, the petition is to be filed at the Rancho Cucamonga Courthouse; if Barstow, the petition is to be filed at the Victorville Courthouse. A judge who presided over the original sentencing will hear the petition, even if he or she has been assigned to preside over a non-criminal calendar. If the original sentencing judge is unavailable, pursuant to Rule of Court 10.603(d), I delegate my authority to designate another judge to rule on the petition to the Supervising Judge of the Criminal Division of the designated courthouse. This order is effective January 1, 2026, and supersedes all previous general orders entitled Filing Location of Penal Code 1170.95 Petitions and Designation of Another Judge to Rule When the Original Sentencing Judge is Unavailable, issued by previous Presiding Judges. This order shall remain in effect until December 31, 2027. Dated this 1st day of January, 2026.
