4th Dist. status

The 4th District posted this notice yesterday:
All in-person oral argument sessions in the Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Divisions One and Three, are suspended. Counsel who choose to present oral argument must do so telephonically until further notice. ​
The Clerk’s Offices in the Fourth District remain open but we are unable to answer in-person questions at this time. For all paper filings including emergency writs, if you are unable to file your papers electronically, you may use the drop-box located in the Clerk’s Office lobby in order to minimize in-person contact in light of COVID-19. The drop-box will be checked every hour. Should you have questions regarding your case, please contact us at San Diego (Div. 1) - 4DCA1ContactUs@jud.ca.gov, Riverside (Div. 2) 4DCA2ContactUs@jud.ca.gov. or Santa Ana (Div. 3) 4DCA3ContactUs@jud.ca.gov. Please be sure to note your case number in the subject line of the email. Alternatively, you may call the Clerk’s Offices during our normal business hours.

Also, the Fifth Dist. and Third Dist. posted orders yesterday as well (but didn't change the date spans for already-extended matters).
