CHANGES IN THE GENERAL JURISDICTION PERSONAL INJURY (PI) COURTROOMS
Effective Jan. 6, 2014, the following changes will be implemented in the general jurisdiction Personal Injury (PI) Courtrooms at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles 90012.
1) OPENING OF FOURTH GENERAL JURISDICTION PERSONAL INJURY (PI) COURTROOM
A fourth PI courtroom will be added, with one judge assigned to each courtroom for all pre-trial matters as follows:
a) Department 91, Room 635, Judge Rafael Ongkeko
b) Department 92, Room 633, Judge Elia Weinbach
c) Department 93, Room 631, Judge Samantha Jessner
d) Department 97, Room 630, Judge Teresa A. Beaudet.
Many PI cases are being reassigned, with reassignment notices being mailed out, to accommodate the opening of the fourth PI courtroom.
2) COURT RESERVATION SYSTEM (CRS) UPDATE WITH PAYMENT COMPONENT
An updated version of the CRS currently used to reserve motion dates in the PI Courtrooms will be released. The new release will include system improvements and a new payment component in which parties will be charged the applicable motion filing fee and/or first paper fee at the time the reservation is made. Once the motion hearing date is reserved, the fees are non-refundable. No additional fees will be charged to use CRS at this time.
At the time of payment, CRS will provide a receipt with the reservation ID and receipt number. When the corresponding motion is presented for filing at the Filing Window, it must include the receipt attached as the last page of the motion and the reservation ID noted on the motion face page under other hearing information as shown in the figure below:
