CHAPTER 3 – COURT CALENDARS AND DISTRIBUTION OF COURT BUSINESS RULE 3.00 DISTRIBUTION OF BUSINESS BY PRESIDING JUDGE The business of the court must be distributed by the presiding judge in accordance with Rules 205 through 208 of the California Rules of Court. (Amended 7/1/02) RULE 3.01 ASSIGNMENT OF CASES (Repealed 7/1/02) RULE 3.02 JUDGES' SUBMISSION LIST Any judge, including assigned, retired or pro tem, having a matter under submission for more than 90 days, including the presiding judge, shall handle no further business until such matter is concluded and a decision is filed. This provision is mandatory and will be followed without exception unless a majority of the judges specifically authorize otherwise. The court clerk must maintain a list of all matters submitted for decision by each of the judges or judges pro tem of this court which must contain the name of the judge, the date of the order of submission, and the name and number of the case. This submission list must be revised not less than monthly and must be circulated to each judge. (Amended 1/1/09) RULE 3.03 COURT CALENDARS (a) Daily Calendar The Clerk of the Court will post a daily calendar for all court proceedings at convenient locations at the beginning of each court day. (b) Civil and Family Law and Motion Calendars The civil law and motion calendar includes but is not limited to orders to show cause, defaults, demurrers, discovery motions, motions on notice, matters involving receiverships, injunctions, supplemental proceedings and other matters which may be assigned. The family law and motion calendar must include domestic relations matters, custody, support, domestic violence, and all other related matters. (c) Special Settings A judicial officer who presides over a calendar that is set for a specific time may set a calendar matter before himself or herself, or before another judicial officer, at such other time as may be set aside by the assigning judicial officer, or to the special set calendar of any other judicial officer. (Amended 7/1/03) RULE 3.04 APPEARING REMOTELY AT NON-EVIDENTIARY HEARINGS Unless an in-person appearance is expressly ordered by the Court or otherwise required by law, attorneys and self-represented parties may appear at non-evidentiary hearings via remote technology rather than in person. By doing so, litigants will be deemed to have requested a remote appearance. No written request or advance notice to the Court or other parties of the intention to appear remotely is required prior to the time of the hearing. If for any reason the Court does not allow a remote appearance, the hearing shall be continued to a date when the parties will be ordered to appear in person. This Rule applies to all civil cases, which includes all cases except criminal cases, and to all non-evidentiary hearings in those cases. Non-evidentiary hearings are those in which oral testimony will not be received, such as (a) hearings on motions, demurrers, and ex parte applications; (b) case management proceedings such as case management conferences, status conferences, trial setting conferences, and trial readiness conferences; and (c) hearings in response to orders to show cause other than those for contempt. Local Rule 7.13 is suspended until this rule is repealed. Rule 3.04 amended effective September 1, 2023; adopted effective March 16, 2022.
