| Tentative
Law and Motion Rulings The following
are the law and motion rulings for the El Dorado County Superior
Court - Department Two. 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 Two 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.
