Today's Cal Supreme Court Extension Order

ORDER REGARDING EXTENSIONS OF TIME IN SUPREME COURTPROCEEDINGS

The extension of time granted by Administrative Order 2020-03-20 is hereby amended and superseded to reflect modifications to rule 8.66 approved by the Judicial Council on April 3, 2020.

Except as set forth elsewhere in this order, the court extends by 30 days the time periods specified by the California Rules of Court for acts or events in proceedings before this court otherwise due to occur between March 20, 2020 and April 20, 2020, inclusive.

No application for an extension of time shall be required for an extension under this order. The extension granted by this order applies to the time period for the finality of a decision of this court where finality is not immediate under the California Rules of Court. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.532(b )(1 ).) All causes will continue to be determined within 90 days after their submission for decision. (See Cal. Const., art. VI,§ 19; Gov. Code, § 68210.) The court retains discretion to disallow an extension of time or to order that an action be taken or an event occur within another specified time frame, as appropriate.

It is further ordered that the time periods specified by the California Rules of Court for this court to order review and to extend time to order review (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.512(b ), ( c )) are extended by 30 days in matters in which either a petition was pending before this court between March 20, 2020, and April 20, 2020, or this court could have ordered review on its own motion between March 20, 2020, and April 20, 2020.
