Ex Parte to Continue Trial Date; Order Shortening Time
Hon. Stephanie L. Jamieson Courtroom 8
627 W. 21st Street, Merced
Friday, July 17, 2026 10:00 a.m.
The following tentative rulings shall become the ruling of the court unless a party gives notice of intention to appear as follows: 1. You must call (209) 725-4240 to notify the court of your intent to appear.
2. You must give notice to all other parties before 4:00 p.m. of your intent to appear. Per California Rules of Court, rule 3.1308(a)(1), failure to do both items 1 and 2 will result in no oral argument. Note: Notifying CourtCall (the court’s telephonic appearance provider) of your intent to appear does not satisfy the requirement of notifying the court.
Case No. Title / Description
22CV-00719 Pacific Southwest Irrigation Corp. vs Jose Rodriguez
Ex Parte [Unopposed] to Continue Trial Date and Corresponding Deadlines; Or Alternatively, For an Order Shortening Time on Motion to Continue Trial Date and All Associated Trial Deadlines
The court notes that no trial dates are available until 2028. However, the court will hear arguments, and if good cause is shown, the dates may be vacated if the parties enter a stipulation to extend the five (5) year statutory deadline to September 2028. At that time a trial setting conference will be set for a date far enough out that allows for the parties to determine if this matter is going to settle.
