NOTICE REGARDING COURT REPORTING SERVICES
(Cal. Rules of Court, rule 2.956; Gov. Code, §§ 68086, et seq.)
Effective Monday, October 31, 2011
The Napa Superior Court provides Court Reporting Services at the court’s expense in all proceedings for which such services are required by law. As a result of statewide budget reductions, official court reporters are no longer provided by the Court in proceedings for which such services are not legally mandated. These proceedings include civil law and motion matters. If counsel wishes to have the hearing on their civil law matter reported, they should arrange for a private court reporter of their choosing to be present.
The following chart sets forth the types of proceedings for which official court reporters will be provided by the court:
| Case Type | Shorthand Reporter Provided by Court? |
