Courtroom 43 - Civil Trials, Law & Motion
Law & Motion Matters and Hearing Calendar for Law & Motion
Absent unusual circumstances, Judge Coats will begin the law and motion calendar in Courtroom 43 at 8:45 a.m. Please check in with the courtroom clerk when the doors open at that time. If appearing by Zoom or CourtCall please check in before 8:20 a.m. The Court often publishes tentative decisions on law and motion matters at the end of the day prior to the hearing date.

If you would like to submit on a tentative decision, you must send an email notifying the court and opposing counsel of your decision to submit without making an appearance. Please note: if you submit on a tentative decision and another party appears, the hearing will proceed in your absence. If all parties advise the Court that they submit on the tentative ruling, the Court will adopt the tentative and no appearance is required. Email submissions should be sent to the Court at: Courtroom43@ventura.courts.ca.gov with all parties copied on the email. In the alternative, you may send a fax to Judge Coats's secretary, Hellmi McIntyre at 805-477-5894, with copies to all parties.
