- With the exception of minor's compromise petitions and quiet title matters, oral argument generally is not required on law and motion matters. If you do wish to have oral argument, you must so notify the court and opposing counsel by 4:00 p.m. one business day prior to the hearing. The court telephone numbers for requesting oral argument are:
- (530) 532-7153 for Judge Benson's calendar.
- (530) 532-7125 for Judge Mosbarger's calendar.
Leaving a message is sufficient; your message will reach the judge. Absent oral argument, the tentative rulings will be adopted as final at the time set for hearing. If you wish to appear telephonically, you should contact Court Call at (888) 882-6878. Unless otherwise directed, the prevailing party should submit a form of order for the judge's signature, after providing it to opposing counsel for approval as to form as required by CRC 3.1312. Counsel should be familiar with and comply with both the California Rules of Court and local rules applicable to law & motion matters. FAX filing directly with this court is not permitted.
