Please do not note any motions while the Court is in recess as they may not be reviewed during the recess. Please also anticipate a delay in receiving orders for motions noted while Department 18 is in recess; however, the parties shall take note that the Court’s recess does not toll the parties’ relevant filing, response, and reply deadlines. Properly noted motions will be reviewed accordingly when court resumes.
Email and voicemail messages are unlikely to be monitored during these dates. Please do not anticipate a reply while the Court is in recess.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.
