Civil Telephonic Posting of Tentative Discovery Rulings
Accessing the Rulings:
For those parties and counsel with matters in Civil Discovery,
Department 7 (Downtown Superior Courthouse), tentative rulings for
the civil discovery calendar will be posted on the Court’s telephone
system. The rulings will be available every
Thursday starting at 2:00 PM.
To access the tentative rulings call (408) 882-2100 and follow
the instructions. By pressing 9 you may bypass the general
information recording and go directly into the tentative discovery
rulings portion. The system is programmed so that you do not have to
listen to the entire calendar, but can move to your case by pressing
the key that corresponds to the last digit of the case number.
These tentative rulings will become orders of the court unless
contested according to the following instructions.
Note: There are no tentative rulings for law and motion
calendars in Departments 5, 10, 19, and 22. Counsel may appear
telephonically for law and motion calendars in those departments.
