6. MATTER OF SMITH, 26CV0876
OSC Re: Name Change
This matter was continued from June 5, 2026, because there was no proof of
publication or CLETS report in the court’s file. (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 1277, subd. (a)(2)(A),
1279.5, subd. (f).) The court also notes petitioner did not appear at the last hearing,
even though appearances were required. The court mailed petitioner a copy of the
June 5, 2026, minute order at petitioner’s address on file but it was returned to the
court undeliverable.
TENTATIVE RULING # 6: APPEARANCES ARE REQUIRED AT 1:30 P.M., FRIDAY,
JULY 17, 2026, IN DEPARTMENT FOUR.
