Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-14 (California T4 Stanislaus build 2026-10-14) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-stanislaus/docs/local-rules/local-rules_-effective-07012026.pdf (the court's rule book, its summary of changes “SUMMARY OF CHANGES Revisions effective July 1, 2026”, as fetched 2026-10-14; 1532730 bytes, sha256 832df238dade54e68b70b6d06f961d5c3238c3edf7aa613a08d9439b4bb2133b; 224 pages; this part PDF pages 40 to 50, printed pages 40 to 50) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): the rules (PDF pages 11 to 203) composed as one text and cut at the rule headings (“RULE 1 GENERAL” to “RULE 8 PROBATE, GUARDIANSHIP CONSERVATORSHIPS AND ADOPTION RULES”) and, in Rules 3, 4, 7 and 8, at a rule or section heading (“3.08 Trial”; “TRAFFIC CASES”; “7.08 Particular kinds of motions or requests for order”, “7.13 Ex Parte Orders:”, “7.26 Miscellaneous Family Law Rules”; “FAMILY ALLOWANCE”, “GUARDIANSHIPS”), each matched once as a whole line; every page's running header (“Stanislaus County Superior Court”, named) and printed page number (“11” to “203”) removed as chrome - 386 chrome lines; lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs, each rule heading, section heading and lettered or numbered subdivision starting a line (a rule number opens a heading only before a capitalized title, so “5.151 of the California Rules ...” stays in its sentence); Rule 1.11's ruled chart of hearing types set a row a line, its cells left to right (the composer's table rows); the strike report (review/strike-report-2026-10-14.txt) finds no struck run; 17 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: 8 line breaks the reflow left before a rule or code reference or an inline list item, rejoined; 9 runs the reflow ran together - paragraphs and side headings of Rule 8 and two bold subheadings of Rule 4 - split); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break, false-break, structural-break and row-join audits (review/book-gap-audit-2026-10-14.txt, review/book-short-lines-2026-10-14.txt and their runs after the fixes, review/book-extra-audits-2026-10-14.txt) list candidates read one by one (build/book_fixes.py) - the rest kept as printed; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass.

3.08 Trial 1. Trial days for civil cases are generally Tuesday through Friday. If Monday is a Court holiday, then Wednesday through Friday. No later than 12:00 noon on the Friday (Monday if Friday is a court holiday) prior to trial, the parties shall notify the assigned civil department as to whether the case has settled or will be going to trial. If you cannot reach the assigned civil department, contact the court calendar manager at 209-530-3162. Failure to comply with this rule may result in the trial date being vacated. 2. If the parties wish to stipulate to new settlement conference and/or trial dates, the specific dates must be cleared in advance with the clerk of the department. Clearance of said dates does not mean that the stipulation will be approved by the Court. (1/1/13) 3.09 E-filing of Trial Exhibits/ Jury Instructions Unless the case is settled or dismissed, the following items must be e-filed no later than noon on the Friday before the date set for trial. The following items shall be served on all other parties no later than noon on the Friday before the date set for trial (if that Friday is a court holiday, then the documents must be e-filed no later than the court day preceding the Friday holiday): a. in limine motions; b. exhibit lists, except impeachment exhibits; c. witness lists, except impeachment witnesses; d. jury instructions except for instructions that cannot reasonably be anticipated; e. proposed forms of verdict; f. stipulations on factual or legal issues; g. concise, non-argumentative statement of the case to be read to the jury if jury trial; h. trial briefs, and i. proposed jury voir dire. (Rule 3.09 [1/1/12] amended January 1, 2024) 3.10 Interpreters If an interpreter is needed by any party or witness intended to be called by a party, it shall be the responsibility of the attorney/party to give notice to the Court and the opposing party/attorney of this need and to make arrangements for the presence of and payment to the interpreter. (1/1/12) 3.11 Punctuality and Multiple Appearances Counsel and litigants are expected to be on time. Failure to appear in Court in a timely manner may subject the offending person to contempt and/or sanctions. In an attempt to accommodate counsel, where counsel have multiple Court appearances scheduled for the same time, the bailiff in the waiting Court should be notified where counsel will be, how long counsel will be absent from the Court and the nature of the conflicting Court appearance. Counsel are encouraged to obtain coverage to avoid conflicts in their appearances. (1/1/17) 3.11.1 Remote and In Person Appearances in Civil Matters For evidentiary hearings, settlement conferences, bench or court trials, and jury trials, parties must appear in person, unless the party or their attorney requests and receives express written authorization to appear remotely from the judicial officer assigned to their case. This Court waives notice of parties appearing remotely for Case Management Conferences, Law and Motion hearings and Ex Parte hearings. Therefore, a Notice of Remote Appearance (Form RA-010) should not be filed for these appearances. 1. A party may request to appear remotely by filing and serving a Notice of Remote Appearance (Form RA-010) and submitting a proposed Order Regarding Remote Appearance (Form RA-020) to the Court no later than ten (10) court days before the evidentiary hearing, settlement conference, bench or court trial, or jury trial. 2. In response to the Notice of Remote Appearance, any party may file and serve an Opposition to Remote Proceedings (Form RA-015) no later than five (5) court days before the hearing in question. 3. Upon review of the request and any opposition, the judicial officer assigned to the matter will indicate on the Order if a personal appearance is required or if a remote appearance is allowed. 4. Even when a remote appearance is authorized and commences, for good cause the judicial officer may terminate a remote appearance and continue the matter for an in-person appearance. Good cause includes, but is not limited to, technological issues which interfere with the judicial officer’s ability to make the determination necessary in the proceeding. (Rule 3.11.1 [7/1/24] amended July 1, 2025) 3.12 Court Reporters –Staff and Pro Tempore A. Staff Court Reporters Court reporter fees will be assessed in all civil trials and proceedings where a Superior Court staff court reporter reports the proceedings. 1. Counsel or parties without counsel will be billed for this service. The billing statements will include the date, case number, time charged and amount due. 2. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, all parties without approved fee waivers, regardless of who requested the reporter, shall pay their proportionate share of reporter fees per the fee schedule in subsection (6) below. When there is more than one party per side, each side will be billed 50%. That is, one party from each side will pay or be billed. The billed party will be responsible to collect from the other parties. 3. Non-payment of any court reporter fees shall result in the denial of future court reporter services to the non-paying party or attorney and the assessment of collection charges. 4. Staff court reporters may be provided for unlimited civil matters as staffing allows. Parties requesting a court reporter must independently notify the Supervising Court Reporter at the time of the request for hearing that they are requesting reporting services. For law and motion matters held at 8:30 a.m., the reporter’s office will be able to confirm the availability of a reporter after they receive the “Request for Hearing” e-mail at 4:00 p.m. the day before the scheduled hearing. Availability of staff reporters will be pursuant to subsection (9) below. (1/1/22) 5. Parties may choose to waive a court reporter but may not use recording systems for unlimited civil matters. The Court reserves the right to order proceedings reported if both sides waive reporting services and reporting services are deemed necessary by the Court. In that event, all parties will be ordered to share the cost. Billing will be pursuant to subsection (2). 6. The fee schedule for official court reporting services is: 1 day - $700.00 1/2 day - $350.00 (A ½ day is defined as any hearing or matter lasting longer than one (1) hour.) (1/1/22, 7/1/22) 7. Daily Transcripts Request for daily transcripts in civil cases must be made at least one week in advance of trial. Parties requesting a daily transcript are required to pay daily transcript rates and the per diem rate for an official court reporter (unless the parties agree to split the costs). The cost of daily transcripts is not covered when the Court provides a court reporter pursuant to an approved fee waiver. Additionally, pursuant to Government Code section 69953.5, if a request for daily transcripts requires the services of more than one court reporter, the party requesting the daily transcripts shall pay the per diem rate for the services of each additional court reporter required to fulfill the request. (1/1/22) 8. Transcripts of Trial or Proceedings Whenever a party requests a court reporter to furnish a transcript of all or part of a trial or proceedings, the court reporter shall forthwith inform all other parties of such request and inquire whether any of such parties’ desires, at their own expense, a copy of such transcript. (7/1/24) 9. Availability of Staff Reporters - Civil Matters If there are insufficient staff court reporters to report civil trials, or civil law and motion matters, a party may arrange for the presence of a certified shorthand reporter at their own expense pursuant to California Rules of Court 2.956. A party with an approved fee waiver may request an official court reporter within the time limits set forth in Local Rule 3.12(A)(4) at no expense to the party. An approved fee waiver does not cover the cost of preparing a reporter’s transcript. Parties should check with the Supervising Court Reporter regarding the availability of a staff court reporter. Contact can be made via e-mail: civilreporters@stanct.org or by phone at (209) 530-3105. In the event a party arranges for the presence of a certified court reporter at their own expense without checking to determine whether an official court reporter is available, and an official court reporter is available, the official court reporter will report the proceedings. 10. Court Requested Civil Transcript Pursuant to Government Code section 69953, in any case where a verbatim record is not made at public expense pursuant to Government Code section 69952, the cost of making any verbatim record shall be paid by the parties in equal proportion. Either party, at their own option, may pay the whole cost. Civil proceedings do not fall under the parameters of Government Code section 69952. When the judge requests the reporter provide a transcript of proceedings not covered in Section 69952, the parties are responsible for sharing the cost of that transcript. The reporter will begin working on the judge’s requested transcript when they receive payment in full from the party or parties. If either party chooses to purchase a transcript of their own, the cost of their copy will be added to their portion of the invoice. (1/1/22, 7/1/24) B. Pro Tempore Reporters If staff court reporters are unavailable to report a civil hearing or civil trial, then pursuant to California Rules of Court rule 2.956, a party may request the presence of a certified shorthand reporter to serve as an official pro tempore reporter. The party will compensate the pro tempore reporter and the stenographic notes of such reporter will be handled pursuant to Government Code section 69955. In addition, a pro tempore reporter reporting a jury trial will remain within ten (10) minutes of the courthouse during jury deliberations and up to the time the verdict is received by the Court. (1/1/19, 1/1/20, 7/1/20, 1/1/22) Pro Tempore Reporters must follow local standard format requirements: • 28 lines per page; • 60 characters per line; • Line numbered at left of transcripts box; • True type font no greater than 13; • Q. and A. indented no more than five spaces; • Text following Q. and A. no more than two spaces; • Colloquy and continuing paragraph indented five spaces; • Text following speaker identification no more than two spaces; • Page numbers at bottom, right-hand column; • Parentheticals indented ten spaces or centered; • No blank lines before or after parentheticals; and • Footer with reporter’s name and CSR number. (1/1/22) 3.13 Attorney Fees Defaults and Contract Provisions When an attorney's fee is allowed on a recovery on a promissory note or other contract providing for payment of a reasonable attorney's fee, and no foreclosure of a mortgage or trust deed is involved, a reasonable attorney's fee shall normally be deemed to be in the amount computed by applying to the recovery by judgment, exclusive of costs, the appropriate schedule hereinafter set forth. 1. Default action on note or contract or where Plaintiff is entitled to recover attorney's fees by statute <not including costs>: 25% of first $1,000 with minimum fee of $100 10% of next $9,000 5% of next $40,000 2% of any amount over $50,000 In an action upon contract providing for an attorney's fee, the Court Clerk shall include in the judgment an attorney's fee in accordance with this schedule, not to exceed the amount in the prayer. 2. In a contested case, the trial Court shall establish attorney’s fees based upon the length of the trial, the difficulty of the issues, the experience of the attorney and any other factors which the Court deems relevant to establish reasonable attorney’s fees. 3. Unlawful Detainer Defaults: without Appearance - $250.00; with Appearance $300. (1/1/12) 3.14 Complaints Procedure – ADR Complaints against mediators or arbitrators on the court’s panels shall be handled as follows: A. All complaints regarding the conduct of a mediator, neutral evaluator or arbitrator on the court’s panels should be directed to the ADR administrator. When the complaint is not in writing, a memorandum that includes the pertinent information should be made. B. A file shall be maintained showing each complaint and its disposition. C. The ADR Administrator shall review each complaint within thirty (30) days. A complaint that is frivolous or unfounded on its face may be disposed of without further action, but the complainant shall be informed of the disposition and a memorandum shall be placed in the file. D. A preliminary inquiry shall be made on any complaint that has possible validity. A copy of the complaint should be supplied to the mediator, neutral evaluator or arbitrator who shall be allowed an opportunity to respond. The preliminary inquiry may be terminated if the complaint is found to be lacking in merit or an acceptable explanation is offered. E. When the preliminary inquiry indicates that a complaint, not minor in nature, appears to have validity or there is other good cause including other complaints, the ADR Administrator shall refer the complaint to the presiding civil judge who will appoint a committee of judges to conduct further investigation. The mediator, neutral evaluator or arbitrator should be presented a written statement of the allegations and provided an opportunity to respond either orally or in writing. F. At the conclusion of the investigation, the committee should make a written report and recommendation(s) for action to be taken by the court. The recommendations may include, but are not limited to: No further action be taken on the complaint; that a reprimand be given to the mediator, neutral evaluator or arbitrator; that the mediator, neutral evaluator or arbitrator be suspended or removed from the court’s panels; or that the mediator, neutral evaluator or arbitrator be referred for additional training. The court in determining the disposition of the complaint should give due consideration to the committee's recommendation(s). G. Each complainant shall be notified promptly in writing of the receipt and of the disposition of the complaint. H. The complaint at all stages shall be handled as promptly as due process allows. I. Except as provided in paragraphs (C) and (G), all papers filed and proceedings conducted on a complaint against a mediator, arbitrator or neutral evaluator should be confidential until disciplinary action is ordered by the court. (1/1/12) 3.15 Prerogative Writs A. Alternative Writ or Noticed Motion for a Peremptory Writ. A prerogative writ, also known as an extraordinary writ, begins with filing a verified petition. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1096.) Mandamus is the customary prerogative writ sought in the trial court. There are two means by which a party may set a mandamus petition for trial: noticed motion for a peremptory writ and alternative writ. The noticed motion procedure is strongly preferred by the Court. B. Noticed Motion for a Peremptory Writ. A petitioner filing a noticed motion for peremptory writ may file a verified petition for the writ and then serve it on the respondent and any real party-in-interest in the manner of serving summons and complaint. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1088.5.) 1. Trial Setting Conference. The Court will hold a trial setting conference at which it will set the dates for record preparation, briefing of the motion, and a hearing date. The hearing on the motion is the trial of the case. 2. Timing of the Hearing. The Court generally will not set the matter for hearing until it is assured that any required administrative record has been prepared or that there is adequate time for gathering and organizing the evidence in a traditional mandamus case. Setting trial before these assurances have been made would only unnecessarily clog the Court's calendar and require continuance of trial. C. Alternative Writ. A petitioner seeking issuance of an alternative writ must apply first for the alternative writ directing the agency to take action or, in the alternative, show cause why it has not done so. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1087.) The application must be accompanied by a memorandum of points and authorities. The Court may grant the alternative writ and set an order to show cause, or it may deny the writ outright. An alternative writ issued by a trial court is not a determination of the petition's final merit. It serves the function of a summons and, when properly served, provides the trial court with jurisdiction over the opposing party. If an alternative writ is granted, the subsequent order to show cause hearing is the hearing on the merits of the petition. 1. Prior Service of Application. An alternative writ may not issue on an ex parte basis without proper notification. Absent a showing of good cause or waiver by the responding party, the petition, application for alternative writ, memorandum, and proposed alternative writ must be served on the respondent and any real party-in-interest pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1010 et seq. at least five days before the alternative writ hearing. Although service by mail is permitted, personal service is preferred. Proof of service is required with the application. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1107.) 2. Briefing Schedule and Hearing Date. Issuance of the alternative writ places the matter on the Court's calendar for an order to show cause hearing. It does not by itself result in a stay or afford any affirmative relief. A briefing schedule will be set by the Court as part of the alternative writ. 3. Service of Alternative Writ. The alternative writ and the order for its issuance (as well as the petition and other supporting papers if not previously served in this manner) must be served on the respondent and any real party-in-interest in the manner of serving summons and complaint, unless the Court orders otherwise. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1096.) D. Service of a Board or Commission. Where service is required under either the noticed motion or alternative writ procedure, if the respondent or real party-in-interest is a board or commission, service must be made upon the presiding officer, or upon the secretary, or upon a majority of the members of such board or commission. E. Request for Stay. Upon filing the petition, and whether proceeding by noticed motion for a peremptory writ or alternative writ, a petitioner may make an ex parte application to stay the agency's decision in an administrative mandamus case under Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.5(h)(1), (if the agency is a licensed hospital or any state agency and a hearing was required by a statute to be conducted in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act (Gov. Code, §§ 11340-11529)), or under Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.5(g). A stay of an agency decision in a traditional mandamus case is governed by principles for injunctive relief. (Rule 3.15 adopted January 1, 2024) SMALL CLAIMS 3.16 Notice of Claims A. Plaintiff’s Claim When serving Judicial Council form SC-100, Plaintiff’s Claim and Order to Go to Small Claims Court, the plaintiff must also attach and serve local form SC-001, Notice to Small Claims Litigants. B. Service by Certified Mail Parties may request the Court Clerk to serve their claim on the opposing party upon payment of fees. Parties may view the file to determine if service was completed no later than three (3) days prior to the scheduled hearing. The judicial officer will determine whether service was legal and proper. C. Inability to Serve Defendant in Time If the plaintiff is unable to serve the defendant timely, the plaintiff may request a later hearing date by filing Judicial Council form SC-150, Request to Postpone Trial with the Court Clerk at least two (2) days prior to the date set for hearing.

Failure to comply with this rule may result in the matter being dropped from calendar. (7/1/16) 3.18 Settlement before Hearing A party who settles their claim prior to the date set for hearing must notify the Court in writing at least one (1) court day before the date of the hearing, by submitting Judicial Council Form CIV 100, Request for Dismissal. (7/1/16, 7/1/21, 7/1/23) 3.19 Dismissal for Failure to Appear At Hearing If a party does not appear at the hearing, their claim may be dismissed, and/or the trial may proceed in the party’s absence. (1/1/19, 7/1/24) 3.20 Return of Exhibits The Court does not return exhibits entered into evidence to the parties. Any exhibits received into evidence will be destroyed after judgment is issued. Parties should not submit original documents as evidence. (7/1/16, 7/1/21) 3.21 Small Claims Advisor Litigants in Small Claims matters may obtain individual personal advisory services from the Small Claims Advisor, established pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 116.940. Information can be obtained by calling (209) 530-3178 or by sending an e-mail to SmallClaims.Advisor@Stanct.org.
