The Second Appellate District of the California Court of Appeal has issued a miscellaneous order stating that recently enacted laws effective January 1, 2022 may affect criminal judgments currently under review in this court. If an appellant believes that one of the newly-enacted laws may apply to their case, they may file a supplemental brief directed solely to the question whether they are entitled to relief under the new law(s). The supplemental brief must be filed within 20 days of this order. If a respondent has already filed a brief, they may file a supplemental respondent's brief within 20 days of the appellant's supplemental brief. If the appellant has already filed a reply brief, they may file a supplemental reply brief within 15 days after the respondent's supplemental brief. If supplemental briefing cannot be completed before a scheduled oral argument, either party may file a request for continuance of the argument pending completion of the supplemental briefing. If the matter has already been submitted, or an opinion has issued and the decision is not yet final, counsel who believes that one of the newly-enacted laws may apply to the case should contact the division clerk to inquire how to proceed.

This court order states that due to the public emergency created by the COVID-19 virus, oral arguments at the Sixth District Court of Appeal will be conducted by telephone instead of in person until further notice. The proceedings will still be open to the public and members of the press.

This document is an order from the Court of Appeal of California's Sixth District to suspend oral argument sessions due to the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 virus. The suspension will remain in place until it is safe to resume normal procedures.

This court order states that, as of February 26, 2014, any brief filed by a lawyer in a criminal appeal does not need to comply with a certain rule regarding material in a Probation Report. This could be important for high school students to know if they plan to pursue a career in law.

This order states that the personal information of trial jurors, such as names, addresses, and phone numbers, must be kept sealed until further order of the court. It also outlines the procedure for an appellant to follow if they wish to unseal the juror identification information.
