Recommendation

Recommendation

Judicial Council staff recommends that the council, effective September 1, 2017:

1.                     Amend rule 1.31(e) to reflect the sunset of rule 7.101.5. Rule 7.101.5 was repealed by its own provisions effective January 1, 2012.

2.                     Amend rule 3.1546(c)(3) to correctly reference the title of form EJT-004.

3.                     Amend rule 4.155(a) to correct a reference from “Penal Code section 1037c” to “Penal Code section 1037.”

4.                     Amend rule 5.130(c) to correct a reference from “5.92(a)(6)(A)-(C)” to “5.92(f)(1)-(3).” Rule 5.92 was amended effective July 1, 2016, to eliminate paragraph (a)(6) and move the service requirements to a new subdivision (f).

5.                     Amend rule 10.3(b) to correctly reference rule 10.10(e).

6.                     Revise form DV-800/JV-252, footer on page 1, to change a reference from “5.488” to “5.495.”

7.                     Revise form FW-008, item 5(a), to correct “our” to “your.”

8.                     Revise forms MC-010 and MC-011 to reflect changes to Code of Civil Procedure, section 1033.5, regarding fees for interpreters and electronic filing or service, as well as a change from the word “blowups” to “enlargements.”

9.                     Revise form WG-005 to correct the instructions on page 1 from “the mailing information above” to “the mailing information below.”
