Judge: Elaine Lu, Case: 24STCP01323, Date: 2024-06-24 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 24STCP01323    Hearing Date: June 24, 2024    Dept: 9

The Criminal
History Assessment is unclear.  It is
unclear what the Name Change Clerk means by noting “No information found with
social provided” – i.e., whether the Name Change Clerk could not identify
Petitioner with this social security number. 
However, if the Name Change Clerk could not identify Petitioner, then it
is unclear why the Name Change Clerk would also check off that “Petitioner is
not a registered sex offender.”  How
could the Name Change Clerk conclude that Petitioner is not a registered sex
offender if the Name Change Clerk could not identify Petitioner?

It appears
that Petitioner has failed to provide any form of identification tied to a
fingerprint on file, which is necessary for Probation/the Court to run a
criminal history assessment.  Petitioner
must provide the Name Change Clerk with some form of identification verified by
a fingerprint to enable the Name Change Clerk to run a criminal history
assessment.  Petitioner may do this by
any of the following options:

(1) providing
a California driver license number or California id number (Petitioner may
apply for and obtain a new California id or California driver license and
provide such information to The Court Clerk);

(2) providing
The Court Clerk with a driver license number or DMV-issued id number from
another state and identifying the state that issued the driver license or id;
or

(3)
contacting the Name Change Clerk in the Clerk’s Office, who can provide
instructions on how Petitioner may have fingerprints taken for a California
Record Review Live Scan and results sent to the Court Clerk.

The petition
is continued to September 23, 2024 at 9:30 am to enable Petitioner to pursue
one of these three options.  If
Petitioner fails to follow these instructions and provide sufficient
information to run a criminal history assessment prior to the next hearing
date, the petition will be denied and dismissed without prejudice.

The Name Change Clerk is ordered to run and complete a criminal
history assessment prior to the continued hearing.

Court Clerk
to give notice.
