2 GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR SECTION CHALLENGES A challenge under Code of Civil Procedure section must be made orally under oath or by written motion, supported by a declaration. (a) Direct Calendar Case. A section challenge to a direct calendar judge assigned to a case for all purposes must be made (1) for a civil, probate, family law, or juvenile case within 15 days of the party s notice of the all-purpose assignment or, if the party has not yet appeared, within 15 days of the party s first appearance, and (2) for a criminal case, within ten days of the party s notice of the all-purpose assignment or, if the party has not yet appeared, within ten days of the party s first appearance. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1013, an additional five days is added to the notice if it was served by mail within California, and ten days if served by mail outside of California but within the United States. Upon a timely and proper challenge, the direct calendar judge will immediately transfer the cas e t o the appropriate supervising judge for reassignment for all purposes. Neither a proper challenge under Code of Civil Procedure section 170.6, nor a direct calendar judge s voluntary recusal from the case, will result in the case being re-designated as a master calendar case. (b) Master Calendar Case. A section challenge to a judge who is assigned a trial ready case for trial or other limited proceeding by a supervising judge or master calendar court must be made in accordance with the master calendar rule. Section provides that, when a master calendar court assigns the trial or limited proceeding, the challenge must be made orally in open court or in writing in the master calendar department at the time of the assignment. If counsel have been placed on call, the master calendar rule does not apply. Instead, the general rule applies and the challenge must be made before the commencement of the trial or hearing. (c) Civil Division Challenges. (1) Central District. Where a trial ready case is transferred from a direct calendar, all-purpose court to another all-purpose or a long-cause court for trial, Department 1 designates the direct calendar judge transferring the case to inform the parties that the master calendar rule applies to the reassignment and that any challenge must be made that same day in Department 1 prior to the time set for the first appearance in the newly assigned court. For purposes of a section challenge, the unlimited civil courts and writs and receivers courts are direct calendar courts with an all-purpose assignment to which the 15-day all-purpose assignment rule applies. A writs and receivers court is an all-purpose assignment court for any prerogative writ claim (see Local Rule 3.231), even where joined with a damages or other claim. Where a writs and receivers court is deciding a provisional remedy (e.g., writ of attachment, writ of possession, temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or receiver), and the case otherwise is assigned to an unlimited civil court, then either (1) the general rule of section applies and the challenge may be made at any time before the Rule 2.5(c) - Staff edit - Further Amended RC 7/8/ EC 7/17/2013 Page 1of 4

3 hearing commences, or (2) where the identity of the writs and receivers judge is known at least ten days before the hearing, section 170.6's 10-day/5-day rule applies and the challenge must be made at least five days before the hearing. In a Specialized Civil Court, defined as a court deciding law and motion or other special portions of a case without handling the entire action (e.g., Personal Injury courts, unlawful detainer courts, and limited civil law and motion courts), then either (1) the general rule of section applies and the challenge can be made any time before the hearing commences, or (2) where the identity of the judge is known at least ten days before the hearing, section 170.6's 10-day/5-day rule applies and the challenge must be made at least five days before the hearing. When a case is assigned t o a Specialized Civil Court, assignment for trial is made by a master calendar court (Department 1), and the master calendar rules apply. (2) Other Districts. Unlimited civil courts in other districts generally are direct calendar courts with an all-purpose assignment to which the 15-day all-purpose assignment rule of section applies. In a Specialized Civil Court (as defined in subsection (c)(1)) above (e.g., unlawful detainer and collections courts) then either (1) the general rule of section applies and the challenge can be made any time before the hearing commences, or (2) where the identity of the judge is known at least ten days before the hearing, section 170.6's 10-day/5-day rule applies and t he challenge must be made at least five days before the hearing. When a case is assigned to a Sp ecializ ed Civil Court handling a limited civil case, assignment for trial is made by a master calendar court, and the master calendar rules apply. (3) Reassignment/Transfer to Another Department. When Department 1 or a district supervising judge reassigns a case not ready for trial after a proper challenge, the reassigning judge is not acting as a true master calendar court and the 15 day all-purpose assignment rule applies to the newly assigned judge. (d) Criminal Division Section Challenges. (1) Central. (A) Foltz Criminal Justice Center. Felony cases are set in direct calendar courts and transferred to Department 100 when ready for trial. They are then assigned for trial by Department 100, acting as a master calendar court, for which the master calendar provisions of section apply. Misdemeanors are initially assigned to the pretrial master calendar court and then transferred to Department 56 when ready for trial. Department 56, acting as a master calendar court, then assigns the case for trial, and the master calendar rule of section applies to the Rule 2.5(c) - Staff edit - Further Amended RC 7/8/ EC 7/17/2013 Page 2of 4

4 70 th judge assigned for trial. Cases assigned to the complex criminal litigation ( 9 floor ) courts are direct calendar cases to which the all-purpose assignment rule of section applies. A section challenge must be made within ten days of notice of the all-purpose assignment or, if the party has not yet appeared, within ten days of the party s first appearance, as extended by Code of Civil Procedure section (B) M etropolitan and East Los Angeles Courts. All cases are assigned to direct calendar courts and the ten day all-purpose assignment rule of section applies. A section challenge must be made within ten days of notice of the all-purpose assignment or, if the party has not yet appeared, within ten days of the party s first appearance, as extended by Code of Civil Procedure section If the direct calendar court is engaged and transfers a case that is ready for trial to another court, then the direct calendar court acts at the direction of the supervising judge as a master calendar court. The master calendar rule of section applies to the newly assigned judge, and a challenge to the new judge must be made in the transferring court. (2) Other Districts. Felonies and misdemeanors in districts other than the Central District are assigned in one of the following three ways. The districts vary in which it applies, and counsel are advised to check with the district s supervising or site judge, or the individual courtroom, to determine what rule applies to a particular case. (A) Direct Calendar Assignment. The case is set in a direct calendar court as an all-purpose assignment, and the all-purpose assignment rule of section applies. A section challenge must be made within ten days of notice of the all-purpose assignment or, if the party has not yet appeared, within ten days of the party s first appearance, as extended by Code of Civil Procedure section If the direct calendar court is engaged and transfers a case ready for trial to another court, then the direct calendar court is acting at the direction of the supervising judge as a master calendar court, the master calendar rule of section applies to the newly assigned judge, and the challenge must be made in the transferring court. (B) M ixed Direct Calendar/M aster Calendar Assignment. The case is set in a direct calendar court and transferred to a master calendar court when ready for trial. Either the supervising or site judge acts as the master calendar court, or there is a dedicated master calendar court. The master calendar rule of section applies to the judge assigned for trial, and any challenge must be made in the master calendar court. (C) M aster Calendar Assignment. The case is initially assigned to a master calendar court. When the case is ready for trial, it is assigned to an available trial court. Either the supervising/site judge acts as the master calendar court, or there is a dedicated master calendar court. The master calendar rule of section applies to the judge assigned for trial, and any challenge must be made in the master calendar court. (e) Family Law Division Section Challenges. (1) Time Limitation. For purposes of a section challenge, except as stated below, all judges in the Family Law Division are assigned for all purposes and a challenge must be made within 15 days of notice of the all-purpose assignment or, if the party has not yet appeared, within 15 days of the party s first appearance, as extended by Code of Civil Procedure section (2) Trial M aster Calendar Reassignment. Where a case assigned to a direct calendar department has been transferred to Department 2 for trial or other reassignment, Department 2 acts as a master calendar court and the master calendar rule of Section applies to the judge to Rule 2.5(c) - Staff edit - Further Amended RC 7/8/ EC 7/17/2013 Page 3of 4

5 whom the case is reassigned. A challenge to the judge to whom the case is assigned for trial must be made in Department 2 at the time of reassignment. (f) Probate Division Section Challenges. (1) Time Limitation. For purposes of a section challenge, all probate departments are direct calendar courts in which a case is assigned for all purposes. A section challenge must be made within 15 days of notice of the all-purpose assignment or, if the party has not yet appeared, within 15 days of the party s first appearance, as extended by Code of Civil Procedure section (2) Reassignment/Transfer to Another Department. A reassignment of a probate case to another probate or civil department for trial or other limited purpose is an assignment from a master calendar court to which the master calendar rule of section applies. Where a case is transferred from another district to Department 5 for purposes of reassignment, Department 5 acts as a master calendar court in transferring the case. The master calendar rule of section applies to any challenge of the newly assigned judge. (g) Juvenile Court Division Section Challenges. (1) Time Limitation. For purposes of a section challenge, some judges in the Juvenile Division are direct calendar courts to which a case is assigned for all purposes and the allpurpose assignment rule of section applies. A section challenge must be made within 15 days of notice of the all-purpose assignment or, if the party has not yet appeared, within 15 days of the party s first appearance, as extended by Code of Civil Procedure section Other judges are assigned on a temporary basis in a particular courtroom. The ten-day/five-day rule of section applies to a judge assigned on a temporary basis, and the challenge must be made at least five days before the hearing. Counsel are advised to check with the Presiding Judge of the Juvenile Division, or the individual courtroom, to determine what rule applies to a particular case. (2) Reassignment/Transfer to Another Department. Upon a timely and proper section challenge, the Supervising Judge of the Juvenile Division will reassign the case if it should be assigned to a juvenile court. An adoptions case will be transferred to the Stanley M osk Courthouse for the Presiding Judge to reassign. In either instance, the reassigning court does not act as a true master calendar court and the challenge to the reassigned court must be made within 15 days of notice of the all-purpose assignment or, if the party has not yet appeared, within 15 days of the party s first appearance, as extended by Code of Civil Procedure section (Rule 2.5 [7/1/2011, 5/17/2013] amended and effective ) Rule 2.5(c) - Staff edit - Further Amended RC 7/8/ EC 7/17/2013 Page 4of 4
