Judge: Frank M. Tavelman, Case: 20BBCV00479, Date: 2023-03-17 Tentative Ruling

SUBMITTING
ON THE TENTATIVE

The Court tries to post tentative rulings prior to any
hearing on many matters, but not all.  If
the parties wish to submit on the tentative ruling and avoid a court
appearance, all counsel must confer and agree to do so.   Each counsel must contact the court and
advise they are submitting on the matter, that they have spoken to opposing
counsel who has indicated they too are submitting and will be calling the
court. All submitting counsel must call Dept A by 9:00 a.m. on the day of the
hearing and state that all parties will submit on the tentative ruling or in lieu
may indicate the party is submitting during calendar check-in and notice of the
ruling must be served as indicated in the tentative. If any party declines to
submit on the tentative ruling, then no telephone call is necessary, and all
parties should appear at the hearing in person or remotely.
