Tentative Rulings

What is a Court Tentative Ruling?
A court tentative ruling is a preliminary decision issued by a judge before a scheduled court hearing, based on the written information submitted by the parties.

Both parties have the option to:

• Accept the tentative ruling: If both parties accept, no appearance at the hearing is necessary.
• Request oral argument to contest the ruling: If one or both parties object to the tentative ruling, you must notify the court by the specified deadline to appear at the hearing.

Please refer to the court's rules or contact the court for more details on the process and deadlines.
