Motion – Set Aside/Vacate Order to Show Cause
On March 2, 2026, Plaintiff Fernando Jackson filed a motion to set aside and vacate an order to show cause for his failure to appear in court for a case progress conference on February 23, 2026. The request is GRANTED.
Plaintiff’s complaint was filed on June 20, 2025. One of four defendants has been served with the summons and complaint according to the Proof of Personal Service of Summons filed on March 2, 2026; that defendant has not filed a responsive pleading.
The matter is on for a further case management conference on August 24, 2026, at 9 a.m. in this department. Plaintiff is to provide the court with an update regarding service on the remaining defendants at that time.
Parties must comply with Marin County Superior Court Local Rules, Rule 2.10(A), (B), which provides that if a party wants to present oral argument, the party must contact the Court at (415) 444-7046 and all opposing parties by 4:00 p.m. the court day preceding the scheduled hearing. Notice may be by telephone or in person to all other parties that argument is being requested (i.e., it is not necessary to speak with counsel or parties directly.) Unless the Court and all parties have been notified of a request to present oral argument, no oral argument will be permitted except by order of the Court. In the event no party requests oral argument in accordance with Rule 2.10(B), the tentative ruling shall become the order of the court.
IT IS ORDERED that evidentiary hearings shall be in-person in Department L. For routine appearances, the parties may access Department L for video conference via a link on the court website. Kindly turn your camera on when your case is called and make sure the party or lawyer making the appearance is properly identified on the screen.
FURTHER ORDERED that the parties are responsible for ensuring that they have a good connection and that they are available for the hearing while using the virtual remote courtroom. If the connection is inadequate, the Court may proceed with the hearing in the party’s absence. If it is determined that you are driving your car during the hearing, you will be removed from the virtual courtroom. (Yes, this happens).
