If you are checking the status of an item and the date of your submission is significantly earlier than the date displayed, contact the Clerk’s Office during regular business hours for assistance. The Court understands that timely processing is important. We are working to process items as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience as clerks work through the backlog.

Direct calendaring does not limit the Presiding Judge’s authority to assign or reassign cases. At the time of the initial filing, the Clerk’s Office generates a Notice of Case Assignment and Notice of Hearing identifying the judicial officer assigned for all purposes, including trial. A copy of this notice must be included with service of the complaint, summons, and ADR information upon all named defendants. “This case has been assigned to Judge ______________ in Department _____ for all purposes including trial.” Calendar and judicial assignment Ver información en Español Notice of how to appear remotely For case management conferences, law and motion hearings, and ex parte hearings, parties may appear remotely pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 367.75 and California Rule of Court, rule 3.672.

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-10 (California T4 San Joaquin build 2026-10-10) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-san-joaquin/pages/civil.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-10; 610787 bytes, sha256 a2e44d7f9c9af9a8c7354175761ddc7e60faa042b0f14ba5d8ae5c417924f97d) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area under the court's own domain): 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: 2 items; proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page sets an opposition to a remote appearance (RA-015) no later than 5 court days before the proceeding, where Rule 3-103(D) (carded) allows 2 court days from the date of service of the notice; it asks for at least five available dates with the moving papers, where Rule 3-113(A) asks for at least three (3) dates; and it sends courtesy copies to the drop box on the 1st floor, where Rule 3-117 names the Courtesy Copy Drop Box on the 10th floor or 11th floor - a review task asks the court which governs.
