Arce-Barraza, Deputy] THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO IN RE COMMERCIAL SALES ACTIVITIES ON COURTHOUSE GROUNDS GENERAL ORDER OF THE PRESIDING DEPARTMENT ORDER NO. 010126-16 THE COURT FINDS AS FOLLOWS: This order is necessary to ensure the safe, secure, and orderly use of and access to the courthouse facilities of the Superior Court, County of San Diego (“San Diego Superior Court,” “court,” or “courthouse”); to minimize activities which unreasonably disrupt, interrupt, or interfere with the orderly conduct of court business; and to promote the free ingress and egress at court facilities.

This order is consistent with the California Rules of Court, rule 10.603(a), which vests in the Presiding Judge the responsibility of establishing policies and allocating resources in such a manner that promotes access to justice for all members of the public, provides a forum for the fair and expeditious resolution of disputes, maximizes the use of judicial and other resources, increases efficiency in court operations, and enhances services to the public. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: No person or entity is currently authorized to transact any business or conduct any commercial activity, including but not limited to trustee sales or other activities related to non-judicial foreclosures, on any portion of the exterior areas surrounding the San Diego Superior Court courthouses. Any person or entity that engages in unauthorized business transactions or commercial activity, including but not limited to trustee sales or other activities related to non-judicial foreclosures, on exterior areas of the courthouses located at 1100 Union Street and at 330 West Broadway, San Diego, will be directed to cease all such activities and leave the area immediately. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is authorized to enforce this order. Requests for any exceptions to this order must be submitted to and will be considered by the Presiding Judge, Assistant Presiding Judge, or their designee. This order shall become effective on January 1, 2026, and expire on December 31, 2026, unless otherwise ordered by this court.
