Jury Scam alert -

The Santa Barbara Superior Court has received complaints about individuals trying to scam members of the public by pretending to be court officers or officials. The Jury Services office of the Santa Barbara Superior Court does not call citizens to request payments for failing to appear for jury duty. California law does not permit citizens to pay a fine in lieu of jury duty. If you receive such a call simply hang up and, if the scammer persists, call your local law enforcement agency. Learn more about the recent scam warning.

Notice to Jurors:

Prospective jurors summoned for jury service can expect to receive their jury summons in postcard form. Please check your mail for a postcard with important instructions to fulfil your jury service. Visit the Jury Services page for more information.

Probate Notes:

Appearances required.

The following must be resolved before the hearing:

Proof of Timely Mailed Service.  Proof of timely mailed service of the notice of hearing and a copy of the petition (Prob. Code, § 1511) on Maternal Grandfather, OR Consent to Appointment of Guardian and Waiver of Notice (Judicial Council form GC-211) OR adequately supported request to dispense with notice (CRC 7.52; see Local Court form SC-6014).

Adequate ICWA Inquiry.  Inquiry on both sides of the family is required. (CRC, Rule 5.481(a).)  The parents and/or Indian custodian or other guardian of the child must, if possible, complete the Parental Notification of Indian Status (form ICWA-020). If the parents are available, this can be done before the first hearing. If not done before the first hearing and these people appear at the hearing, the court should order the parents, Indian custodian, or guardian to complete form ICWA-020 at that time. If form ICWA-020 is not yet completed and the parents and/or Indian custodian or guardian do not appear at the first hearing, the court will order the petitioners to use reasonable diligence to find the parents, Indian custodian, or guardian; advise them that the court has ordered them to complete form ICWA-020; and have them complete the form.

Appearances:

The court is open to the public for court business. The court is also conducting hearings via Zoom videoconference.
