of default judgements and any matters where the tentative ruling
requires appearances. The prove-up of default judgements and matters
requiring appearances will be heard at 9:00 a.m. on the Thursday

matter is scheduled for determination. The prevailing party is
to give notice of the ruling or prepare an order if appropriate,

to CRC 391. If any counsel on the matter would like to schedule
time for oral argument, it will generally be scheduled 5 to 10
days
from the date of the ruling. Counsel wishing to request oral argument
must personally appear or appear telephonically by means of Court

Argument will not be allowed concerning discovery
motions unless sanctions have been awarded. The scheduling of oral
argument is discretionary with the court. Most requests for argument
will be denied. However, all rulings involving a sustained demurrer
without leave to amend, a dismissal of the action, or a petition
for a writ will be allowed to schedule argument upon request. In
addition, all rulings involving a grant of sanctions or a motion
for summary judgment or summary adjudication will automatically
be set for oral argument and the date and time for oral argument
will be set forth in the tentative ruling. The moving party in those
instances is required to provide notice to all interested parties
of the date, time, and location of the hearing of oral argument.
Counsel should notify the court if they do not wish to have oral
argument concerning rulings involving the grant of sanctions or
motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication.
