Sealing & Redaction Procedures
Sealing requires a motion complying with CRC rules 2.550/2.551; records are not sealed by stipulation alone, and a substantive motion is not decided until the sealing motion is heard.
Proposed stipulated protective orders for protection of confidential information will only be approved if the language in the proposed order is consistent with California Rules of Court, rules 2.550 and 2.551. Motions and applications to seal must comply with rules 2.550 and 2.551. Records will not be sealed based solely on the agreement or stipulation of the parties. If documents have been lodged conditionally under seal in support of/opposition to a motion, the substantive motion will not be decided until after the hearing on the motion or application to seal. Parties may appear ex parte to request a hearing on a motion to seal in advance of a pending substantive motion, or alternatively to continue the substantive motion.

Adjournment & Extension Requirements
Continuances may be requested by written stipulation with a proposed order; disputed requests require a noticed motion or ex parte application per CRC Rules 3.1200-3.1207.
Stipulated requests to continue any applicable dates (trial, trial readiness, motion cut-off, case management conferences, status conferences) and deadlines may be made by written stipulation. Please provide a proposed order with any stipulation. Disputed requests for continuances should be made by way of a noticed motion or an ex parte application. Please review CRC Rules 3.1200 through 3.1207 in connection with any ex parte application. The Court will review the stipulation and proposed order. If necessary, the Court will schedule an ex parte hearing.
