(B) Shasta County Superior Court does not conduct case management conferences. All limited and unlimited civil cases are exempt from case management rules as allowed by Rule 3.720 of the California Rules of Court. This constitutes Shasta County Superior Court’s alternative procedure for case processing and trial setting as required by Rule 3.720(b). (C) All limited and unlimited civil cases will be assigned a settlement conference date and trial date at the time the complaint is filed. At the time that the summons is issued the court shall prepare a LF-CIV-100, Notice of 1) All Purpose Assignment, 2) Mandatory Settlement Conference and 3) Trial which shall include the name of the judge to whom the case has been assigned and the dates of the mandatory settlement conference and trial.

Mandatory settlement conference statements must be filed as required by Rule 3.1380(c) of the California Rules of Court.

(B) Attendance by Insurance Carrier Representative. Pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1380(b), good cause is deemed to have been shown to excuse from the attendance at the settlement conference insurance claims persons whose offices are more than 100 miles from the courthouse, provided those persons are available by telephone during the settlement conference.

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-11 (California T4 Shasta build 2026-10-11) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-shasta/docs/roc/roc_jan26.pdf (the court's rule book, its cover letter of May 18, 2026 “The attachment represents a new edition of the Local Rules of Court for the Superior Court of California, County of Shasta, effective July 1, 2026.” and its title page “RULES ADOPTED: May 18, 2026 EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2026”, as fetched 2026-10-11; 1041160 bytes, sha256 e2a8127b7fc6ca48e78283c7ab9a2d4d387d18726a2f343fb5baae7837d44755; 85 pages; this section PDF pages 18 to 20) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow) and its strike-out: the rules (PDF pages 10 to 73, printed 1 to 64) composed as one text, from “SECTION 1” to the last rule of Section 18, and cut at the eighteen section headings, each matched once as a whole line (a section may begin mid-page: Sections 8 and 9 both begin on PDF page 36, Sections 10 and 11 on page 40; Sections 4 and 12 print only “(RESERVED)” and are no card); each page's running header (“Local Rules of the Superior Court of California, County of Shasta”) and its printed page number removed as chrome (129 lines); lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs, each rule's number set with its title as one line (“RULE 2.06 COURT REPORTERS”) and each history note on a line of its own; the strike report (review/strike-report-2026-10-11.txt) finds one struck run, a single space on PDF page 14 that a short stroke crosses in Rule 2.06(B), and no struck text; 7 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: the headings of Rules 3.03, 5.19 and 15.20 and Section 7's title, each printed on two or three lines, set as one line; two sentences of Rules 5.16 and 14.06(A) broken before a line, joined; Rule 14.12's web address joined across its line wrap without a space); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break, fragment and row audits (custody file book_extra_audits.py; review/book-extra-audits-2026-10-11.txt) list candidates read one by one (build/book_fixes.py); proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover letter, the title page, the table of contents, the index and the appendices listing the local forms (PDF pages 1 to 9 and 74 to 85) belong to no card. Review note: The court's Civil Division page (held) says “Arbitration/Mediation is required for all cases except” five kinds of action; no rule of the book requires arbitration or mediation in civil cases - Rule 3.02 exempts them from case management and assigns a mandatory settlement conference and a trial date at filing (a review task).
Division XI: information forms for data processing (Rule 11.2); required action - action taken on all calendared cases and a future date always set (Rule 11.19); and pro tem judges - an attorney named as a plaintiff in a civil or small claims case may not sit as a judge pro-tem during the case or within six months following its resolution, nor one named as a defendant in two or more such cases (Rule 11.22). Rules 11.1, 11.3 to 11.5, 11.7 to 11.18, 11.20 and 11.21 are repealed, and Rule 11.6 (voluntary arbitration; see Local Rule 10.2) was repealed and renumbered.
