COURT REPORTERS”), each lettered or numbered subdivision starting a line, and each history line on a line of its own; no table on the rule pages (the table finder reports only the ruled box of the footer); the strike report (review/strike-report-2026-10-12.txt) finds no struck run; 8 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: the book's two title lines set apart; Rule 2's two-line title rejoined; Rule 4's history, printed at the end of its last line, set on its own line; the form number “FL-326” closed up across its line end; three false breaks in Rule 14(E) and 14(I)(5) rejoined; Rule 14(F)'s heading set apart from its text); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break, fragment and row audits (custody file book_extra_audits.py; review/book-extra-audits-2026-10-12.txt and review/book-audits-after-fixes-2026-10-12.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.

SECTION 1. GENERAL RULES RULE 1. CITATION OF RULES -- EFFECTIVE DATE These rules are effective on the date above and shall be known and cited as the "Local Rules of Court" for the Tehama County Superior Court. [effective date: January 1, 2013; revised January 1, 2026] RULE 2. REQUIRED NOTIFICATION FOR UNOPPOSED AND DROPPED MATTERS If a party and/or attorney will not oppose a motion filed by opposing counsel or if the moving counsel decides to drop the matter from calendar, that party and/or attorney shall promptly so notify opposing counsel and the Court via the appropriate written filing. Violation of this rule may subject the party and/or attorney to sanctions. [effective date: January 1, 2013; revised January 1, 2026] RULE 3. COURT REPORTERS A. Criminal / Juvenile Dependency / Juvenile Justice: Court reporters are provided for juvenile dependency proceedings (Welfare and Institutions Code §347 et seq.), juvenile justice proceedings (Welfare and Institutions Code §677 et seq.), and felony proceedings. In criminal matters other than felonies, court reporters are not available at the expense of the Court. In lieu thereof, a recording system is available for misdemeanor or infraction cases pursuant to Penal Code §1045 upon direct request to the Clerk of the Court no later than five days in advance of the proceedings to be recorded. Court reporters may be used in criminal, non-felony cases, but they shall be obtained by, and at the expense of, the party requesting a reporter unless otherwise ordered or arranged by the Court. B. Civil Matters: In accordance with California Rules of Court (currently Rule 2.956) each party to a civil trial as defined in said rule must serve and file a statement at least ten calendar days in advance of the trial date, or as soon as practicable if the proceeding is set with less than 10 days’ notice, stating whether that party requests the presence of an official court reporter. Parties requesting an official court reporter in a civil trial will be charged the actual cost of the court reporter fees in accordance with California Rules of Court. Parties requesting an official court reporter for the trial of a civil case will be required to deposit fees for the anticipated length of the trial or a full-day fee, whichever is less, at the time of filing said statement. A request for a reporter may be made on the record at the time of setting, and fees shall be due on the day of that request. Counsel should check with the Court for a fee schedule of court reporter fees, which fees are in addition to any other trial court fees required by law or rule. The parties shall deposit their pro rata share of such fees as follows: (1) For hearings of less than one day, at the close of the proceeding; (2) For hearings of more than one day, at the beginning of the second and each succeeding day of the proceeding. Any fee waiver request must be submitted by filing a Request for Court Reporter by a Party with a Fee Waiver (form FW-020). If the requesting party has not been granted a fee waiver, a completed Request to Waive court Fees (form FW-001 or form FW-001-GC) must be filed at the same time as the request for court reporter. Parties should file the request 10 calendar days before the proceedings for which a court reporter is desired, or as soon as practicable if the proceeding is set with less than 10 days’ notice. A failure to post fees as required may result in a discontinuation of the proceedings, an absence of a court reporter at the proceeding, a court order or citation to the attorney who failed to pay, or such other orders as necessary. [effective date: January 1, 2013; revised January 1, 2026] RULE 4. PHOTOGRAPHING OR RECORDING COURT PROCEEDINGS AND WITHIN THE COURTHOUSE Photographing or recording any court proceeding is prohibited unless a written request made in advance of the proceeding is provided to and approved by the Judicial Officer overseeing the hearing, pursuant to law and CRC 1.150. Unless otherwise approved by the Presiding Judge, no filming, videotaping, photographing, and/or electronic recording is permitted in any area of the courthouse, including, but not limited to, entrances, exits, and hallways. Application for filming, videotaping, photography, and recording in said areas shall be directed to the Presiding Judge or his/her designee.

Ex-Parte Orders. A party seeking an ex-parte order must notify all parties no later than 10:00 a.m. the court day before the ex-parte appearance, absent a showing of exceptional circumstances that justify a shorter time for notice. The person giving such notice shall state with specificity the nature of the relief to be requested and the date, time, and place for the presentation of the application; and shall attempt to determine whether the opposing party will appear to oppose the application. The declaration regarding notice shall include the date, time, and manner of notice, and shall identify the name of the party informed and any response. If notice was not completed, the declaration shall further state that the applicant in good faith attempted to inform the opposing party but was unable to do so, specifying the efforts made to inform the opposing party or that, for reasons specified, the applicant should not be required to inform the opposing party. A judge makes determinations re notice, and no clerk shall reject a filing because of inadequate notice. (Current California Rules of Court controlling notice include: 3.1203 – 3.1205). 3. Duty of Party Requesting Order. Any party seeking a restraining order (temporary, preliminary or permanent and including but not limited to Domestic Violence and Harassment restraining orders) shall in its first filed paper identify any unexpired restraining orders [criminal, family law, juvenile, and orders of any other court] in which any party requesting relief has: (1) previously obtained a restraining order against any other party and (2) previously been restrained by any other party. The Court may issue sanctions against any party not complying with this requirement. 4. Conflict. Current California Rule of Court, Rule 5.450, is referenced as to conflicts. Courts issuing restraining orders shall make reasonable efforts to determine whether there are any current, unexpired restraining orders against or in favor of any party seeking relief. [effective date: January 1, 2013; revised January 1, 2026] RULE 6. CASE DISPOSITION TIME STANDARDS AND GOALS Consistent with existing law, it is the policy of this Court to encourage prompt disposition of all matters. Attorneys shall promptly complete discovery and motions towards the end of completing cases within the following time limits.

Case Disposition Goals: Consistent with the California Rules of Court and the Case Disposition Standards cited above, the goal of this Court is to complete all civil cases as follows.
