San Diego Superior Court publishes its filing requirements at the court level rather than per judge, so these 304 rules are what govern this courtroom.

Filing Requirements

All 101
  • Applies to
    Request for court reporter

    A request for a court reporter by a party with a fee waiver should use the designated form.

  • Applies to
    Exhibit exception application

    Applications for specified exhibit exceptions must be made in writing to the Criminal Supervising Judge or designee, with notice to the exhibits custodian and all parties.

  • Applies to
    Exhibit record

    When an exhibit is ordered returned, the submitting party must provide the court with a complete photographic or electronic record of it.

Filing Timing

All 48
  • Unless otherwise specified, references to a day mean a calendar day.

  • Such a request should be made using the Request for Court Reporter by a Party with a Fee Waiver form (SDSC Form #ADM-379), available on the court’s website, www.sdcourt.ca.gov, and must be filed with the clerk at least 10 days before the proceeding. If the requesting party received less than 10 days' notice of the hearing or trial, the requesting party must file the request as soon as practicable.

  • A party seeking to be heard about a transfer ordered without a hearing or outside a hearing must request a hearing within 10 days after notice of transfer.
