§4.09 Pretrial Requests for Orders

A party may file a written request for a court order before the hearing on the claim. [CRC 3.2107(a).] A party may use forms SC-105 and SC-105A or may file an informal request such as a letter. [CCP §116.130(h).] The requesting party must mail or personally deliver a copy to all other parties. You must allow the other parties the opportunity to answer or respond to the request before or at the hearing. [CRC 3.2107(a).] This does not apply to a request to postpone the hearing date if the plaintiff's claim has not been served.
