SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SIERRA 5) Check any of the following which apply: My client has consented and authorized me to make this request to appear remotely. My client will appear in person for the court appearance. My client/defendant is also requesting to appear remotely, and the defendant waives the right to a personal appearance and consents to a remote appearance for this hearing. If my client has not signed this consent and authorization form below, I represent to the Court: a) that I have fully explained the terms and conditions of remote appearances as set forth in Paragraph (6) below; b) my client/defendant indicated to me that they are fully understood; and c) that my client/defendant has authorized me to inform the court that the client/defendant agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in Paragraph (6) below to the same extent as if they had been signed by the client/defendant. I understand the court does not provide a means to communicate privately and confidentially and it is the sole responsibility of counsel and client to make such arrangements. I confirm that I have established a means to communicate privately and confidentially with my client so that I will not engage in conversations with my client over the remote appearance platform while the hearing is in session. 6) By signing I understand and agree to the following: • When appearing remotely, I may not receive assistance from anyone other than counsel of record, a court certified interpreter or an individual appointed and/or approved by the Court. • All rules of courtroom civility and decorum apply to a remote appearance, and a remote appearance is the equivalent of an in-person appearance. Any actions that occur during the hearing are subject to all applicable rules, statutes and laws and are enforceable in the same manner as if the remote attendee was in the courtroom. • By making this request for a remote appearance, I do not have any scheduling conflicts with the appearance. I agree I will be ready to participate in the hearing at the calendar time and afterward when the case is called by the Court. I agree to not be engaged in any other activity while participating in the scheduled hearing. • If I am not connected with the remote platform at the time the Court calls my case or if my connection drops during my hearing, the Court may consider the failure of connection and/or the dropped call a failure to appear. The court may thereafter drop the hearing from the calendar, proceed with the hearing, make rulings in the absence of an appearance as allowed by law and/or the Court issue a bench warrant for the defendant’s failure to appear. Any warrant issued for failure to appear may have bail set up to and including a no bail warrant. • In the interest of justice, the Court, in its discretion, may decide to terminate the remote appearance if there is any disruption, noise, misconduct, communication or technical problem, or other interference issue. • The Court retains discretion at all times to require a personal appearance and/or continue the hearing. If the hearing is continued, I agree to waive time for trial (misdemeanor 30 days in custody; 45 days out of custody); time for a preliminary hearing under both the 10-court day rule and 60-calendar day rule (felony); or time for felony trial (60 days), as may be applicable to my case. I understand that I may be responsible for fees and/or costs due to a continuance. • Except as provided in California Rules of Court, rule 1.150, I understand that court proceedings shall not be photographed, recorded, or broadcast. Violators may be cited for contempt of court, or monetary sanctions may be imposed. I understand and accept the terms and conditions of remote appearances recited above. ________ ______________________ _______________________ DATE PRINTED NAME SIGNATURE By Court Clerk: The request to appear remotely was pre-authorized □pursuant to Executive Order No. □as reflected in minutes dated _______________.

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-12 (California T4 Sierra build 2026-10-12) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-sierra/docs/forms-and-filings/request_remoteappearance_che_version3_0918223.pdf (190810 bytes, sha256 4b9c5bad62fefa9c239374fb932ea285c4e3b3bc547db1f5d4e700e937dcac19; 3 pages; a printed text layer) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): its three pages composed; the second “FOR COURT USE ONLY” (the heading of page 3's box for the clerk and the judicial officer) removed by the composer's repeat rule as a field label - 1 chrome line; 1 same-character fix (build/doc-captions.json: page 3's “By Court Clerk:” label, which the reading set between the two lines it prints beside, set before them as the page prints the row - the characters unchanged, only their order and whitespace); the check boxes are form fields without glyphs, kept as the text layer sets them; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. Review note: The form prints “my client/defendant indicated to me that they are fully understood”; local form SIE-0035 (held; Rev. 09/18/2023), linked from the home page, prints the same terms but for that sentence, which it prints without “are” (read on its page images: its text layer maps its glyphs to other characters).
