Public Notice – Civil Division
2025 Law and Motion Calendars

Beginning March 3, 2025, Departments 53 and 54 will expand their law and motion calendars to
include an additional day of hearings on Mondays. The first Monday hearing date will be April 7,
2025.

Parties may reserve hearings through the Court Reservation System (CRS) on the Public Portal
or by calling their assigned Law and Motion department.

Cases will remain assigned to Departments 53 or 54 for all Law and Motion purposes and the
Monday and Wednesday calendars will be heard as follows:

Department 53 – Judge Julie G. Yap

916-874-7858

Department 54 – Judge Richard C. Miadich
916-874-7848

Once moving papers have been submitted for filing with the court, the corresponding hearing
reservation will become scheduled and can no longer be managed (canceled or rescheduled)
online using CRS. Thus, if parties want to advance an already scheduled hearing date to a newly
available date, they may use any of the following methods:

1) Letter by moving party consistent with Local Rule 2.30(c) along with the appropriate
filing fee. If the reservation was made using CRS, a new reservation ID must be
obtained on CRS prior to submitting the letter requesting the advancement of the
hearing. If the reservation was made by calling the department, parties must call to
obtain a new reservation date;

2) Stipulation and Proposed Order pursuant to CRC 3.734 along with the appropriate

filing fee; or

3) Ex parte application along with the appropriate filing fee.  A Hearing on Ex Parte

application may only be reserved if judicial approval is needed to advance the hearing
date. (The Court disfavors ex parte application absent a showing of good cause).

Parties may manage hearing reservations where no moving papers have been filed through CRS
or by calling their assigned department to obtain a new hearing date.

Also effective March 3, 2025, the court will no longer schedule matters for the limited Friday
Demurrer and Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings calendar heard by Judge Steven M.
Gevercer in Department 31 at 10:00 am. Any hearing reserved or scheduled will remain on
calendar.

All moving papers, oppositions, and replies can be filed in person at the Hall of Justice Building,

Consistent with Local Rule 1.06, a tentative ruling will be published in each case at 2:00 pm the
court day before the matter is scheduled to be heard. Log in to the Public Portal to access the
case.

To request oral argument on a matter, parties must call the Law and Motion Oral Argument
Request line at (916) 874-2615 by 4:00 pm the court day before the hearing and leave a voice
mail message with all of the information specified in the voice mail greeting. Parties are further
required to notify all opposing parties of the oral argument request prior to contacting the request

Unless ordered to appear in person by the court, parties may appear remotely, either
telephonically or by video conference via the Zoom video/audio conference platform, with notice
to the court and all other parties in accordance with Code of Civil Procedure 367.75. Although
remote participation is not required, the court will presume all parties are appearing remotely for
non-evidentiary civil hearings.

The Zoom link and Meeting ID needed to appear remotely may be found in the tentative ruling
published to the Court’s website at 2:00 p.m. on the court day before the matter is scheduled to
