LASC: COURT ANNOUNCES NEW CIVIL FILING RULE EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 26: ALL MOTIONS MUST BE FILED WITHIN THREE COURT DAYS OF RESERVATION OR RESERVATION WILL BE CANCELLED

Effective Monday, February 26, motion reservations in all civil matters will be cancelled if motion documents are not submitted within three (3) court days of the date when the reservation was made in the Court Reservation System (CRS). The change is required to improve the timely processing and hearing of motions in the Court’s Civil Division.

Motion filing and first paper fees will be collected when motion documents are submitted. If users modify a reservation date after the initial reservation is made, the CRS will assess and collect a $20 rescheduling fee.

As a reminder, the CRS reservation number must be included on the motion papers under the caption when the motion is submitted.

The Frequently Asked Questions document on the CRS homepage has been updated to reflect these changes.
