| Tentative
Law and Motion Rulings
The following are the law and motion rulings
for the El Dorado County Superior Court - Department One.
There shall be no appearances, except for hearings related to the
prove-up of default judgments and any matters where the tentative
ruling requires appearances. The prove-up of default judgments
and matters requiring appearances will be heard at 1:30 p.m. on
the Monday the matter is scheduled for determination. The prevailing
party is to give notice of the ruling or prepare an order if appropriate,
pursuant 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 call at 1:45 p.m. in Department One on the
Monday the matter is scheduled to be determined. Oral argument
will not be held on those motions at that time. If approval is
granted, you must thereafter give notice of the date, time and
location of the scheduled hearing to all interested parties.
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.
Civil Law & Motion Minute Orders
Civil Law & Motion minute orders will be mailed for the following:
OSC re: sanctions, OSC re: contempt or matters taken under submission
after oral argument or briefing. Counsel or parties may request
copies of all other L&M minute orders either at the clerk's
office or in writing. If a request is in writing a self-addressed
stamped envelope and the appropriate fee for copies must be submitted.
