Not legal advice. BenchPath provides procedural information compiled from official public sources. BenchPath's materials are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney or for attorney judgment; they create no attorney–client relationship, and does not guarantee acceptance of any filing by any court. Court sources change without notice — verify urgent deadlines with the court, the clerk, or the judicial assistant. Every rule card shows its source, confidence level, and last-verified date; treat anything below high confidence as a lead, not an answer.

Move promptly — by motion, not stipulation — when a CMO deadline needs to change
The showing required scales with the track and how close the deadline is.

Steps marked “check the division's instructions” vary by judge — that variance is exactly what BenchPath tracks. Search your county and division for the specific requirements before relying on the generic sequence. Not legal advice.
