Case Management

As required by the Trial Court Delay Reduction Act, Government Code § 68600 et seq., and the Case Management Rules adopted by the Judicial Council, California Rule of Court 2.2, Sacramento Superior Court adopted the Case Management Program. Forms and procedures are available at 720 Ninth Street, in Room 102, from the Civil Unit's cashier, or by clicking on the links below:

Helpful resource that provides information on where
motions and documents for General Civil/Law and Motion
and CMP cases are filed and heard. The chart also

The procedures for the CMP program are the product of careful planning by a committee of judges, practicing attorneys, representatives of local bar associations, and court staff. Chapter 11 of the Local Rules governs Sacramento County’s CMP program. In addition to the Local Rules, the court has developed an information packet (Form CV\E-133) designed to familiarize attorneys and parties representing themselves with the basics of the program.

The Sacramento program applies to all civil actions except for probate proceedings, domestic relations proceedings, juvenile court proceedings, unlawful detainer matters, and actions assigned to a single judge based on subject matter.
