Superior Court of California, County of Lassen LSC Form 7A SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF LASSEN _________________________________ CASE NO.: _________________________________ _________________________________ DELAY REDUCTION PROGRAM NOTICE Plaintiff(s). All Parties and Counsel are Required to Apprise Themselves of the Local Delay _________________________________ Reduction Program Rules _________________________________ _________________________________ Defendant(s). This case is subject to the Delay Reduction Program set forth in detail in the Local Rules of the Lassen County Superior Court. It is the duty and obligation of each party and attorney to be familiar and comply with these Local Rules in addition to applicable statutes and the Rules of the Court as the same relate to Delay Reduction Programs. Important aspects of the Local Rules include the requirement for preparation, service and filing of a Case Management Statement by each party no later than 15 calendar days before the date set for the Case Management Conference. The parties will be notified by the clerk of the court when the Case Management judge orders a First Case Management Conference, and are required to have trial counsel present at the conference ; no special appearances by non-record counsel will be accepted as compliance with this rule. The court will expect and require meaningful participation in the program and reasonable expediency in the prosecution and defense of an action will reduce the need for conferences and save the parties expense in court appearances. Conversely, ineffective compliance will result in closer management by the court and more frequent appearances for Management Conferences. This action is assigned to one judge for all Case Management Program purposes, and he or she shall preside over all Program Conferences. Any motions or requests concerning Case Management matters should be directed to that judge. Motions not concerning Delay Reduction matters are not a part of the program, and should be noticed and calendared on the appropriate Law and Motion Calendar. Sanctions for non-compliance with the Local Rules and Program Orders can be expected in the absence of good cause for the same. Copies of the Local Rules for the Delay Reduction Program of the Lassen County Superior Court are available from the Superior Court Filing Office and on the court's website at www.lassencourt.ca.gov.
