3. MATTER OF BAKER, 26CV0116
OSC Re: Name Change
In its February 27, 2026, tentative ruling, the Court noted several deficiencies with
the petition, as follows:
The court notes that the petition for name change is incomplete; it does not identify
the petitioner’s date of birth, place of birth, sex, or current residence address. (Code Civ.
Proc., § 1276, subd. (a)(2); see Petn., 7.) To date, there is also no California Law
Enforcement Telecommunications System ("CLETS") report or proof of publication in the court’s file. (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 1277, subd. (a) (2)(A), 1279.5, subd. (f).)
The deficiencies have not been cured.
TENTATIVE RULING # 3: APPEARANCES REQUIRED AT 1:30 P.M., FRIDAY,
APRIL 17, 2026, IN DEPARTMENT FOUR OR THE PETITION WILL BE DENIED.
