Alpine Superior Court Filing Rules

A party electing to appear remotely at a civil non-evidentiary hearing must file form RA-010.

File the remote-appearance notice at least three court days before a civil non-evidentiary hearing; a late filer may still request permission, subject to the court’s discretion.

Give other parties notice of a remote appearance at least two court days before the hearing by a means reasonably calculated to provide notice, including text, email, or oral notice.

A person requesting disability accommodations may notify the court or submit Form MC-140 to the Court Executive Officer by mail or fax.

If an in-person appearance becomes necessary during a remote proceeding, any continuance may last only as long as necessary to ensure the party or witness is physically present.

A pleading of at least eight pages, counting attachments, must be filed with one additional copy marked “Working Copy.”

Fax filing costs $1.00 per page, payable by mailed check or through the court website within 24 hours; direct payment with the court is not permitted.

Oral amendments and interlineations to accusatory pleadings are disfavored after filing.

Fax filings are limited to 20 pages, including attachments.

Parties must electronically submit an evidence list and copies of the documents and photos they seek to admit.

A party may submit a Confidential Addendum, which is kept under seal for the settlement conference judge and may be inspected only by court order.
