Calaveras Superior Court Filing Rules

A non-moving party intending to appear remotely must file Form RA-010 by 3:00 p.m. at least two court days before the hearing.

If either party indicates possession is at issue, trial will be set no more than 20 days after the request to set trial is filed.

When an officer obtains a TE-GVRO through an oral request, the officer must serve and file the order with the court as required by Penal Code section 18140.

Applications to the Court for an order or other relief should never be made by telephone call, letter, electronic mail, or facsimile.

If more space is needed for section 4(D)(ii), attach an additional sheet and label it with that section.

An order granting a fee or cost waiver expires 60 days after judgment.

A continuance request requires written notice filed with the court and served on the opposing party at least 10 calendar days before trial, unless good cause excuses late notice.

Documents may be filed by mail, in person at the clerk’s filing window, through the drop box, or by e-Filing on the court’s website.

The parties’ agreement or stipulation cannot by itself establish confidentiality or seal a court document; court findings are required before records are sealed.

Contested matters proceeding to trial must have a settlement and trial setting conference, in which parties and trial counsel must participate; remaining contested issues will be set for trial at the conference’s conclusion.

Settlement Conference Statements are limited to five pages.
