Veronica Perry v. Noe Figueroa

This matter is scheduled for hearing following an ex parte request from Veronica Perry (Mother) to address the shared daughter—Olivia Figueroa’s (DOB 1/24/2015)—attendance at her fifthgrade graduation. Following a discussion with the parents, it was stipulated that Noe Figueroa (Father) would take Olivia to her graduation, both parents would attend, and that Father was free to leave (with Olivia) at 11:00 AM. Further, this Court referred the parties to Marin Family Court Services (FCS) for mediation, counseling and recommendations.

The parties are on calendar for a discussion relating to summer vacation schedules that are time sensitive and cannot await completion of the FCS process.

Parties are ordered to appear.

Parties must comply with Marin County Superior Court Local Rules, Rule 7.12(B), (C), which provide that if a party wants to present oral argument, the party must contact the Court at (415) 444-7046 and all opposing parties by 4:00 p.m. the court day preceding the scheduled hearing. Notice may be by telephone or in person to all other parties that argument is being requested (i.e., it is not necessary to speak with counsel or parties directly.) Unless the Court and all parties have been notified of a request to present oral argument, no oral argument will be permitted except by order of the Court. In the event no party requests oral argument in accordance with Rule 7.12(C), the tentative ruling shall become the order of the court.

IT IS ORDERED that evidentiary hearings shall be in-person in Department B. For routine appearances, the parties may access Department B for video conference via a link on the court website. Litigants in the virtual courtroom are required to leave the video screen on and wait for your case to be called.

FURTHER ORDERED that the parties are responsible for ensuring that they have a good connection and that they are available for the hearing. If the connection is inadequate, the Court may proceed with the hearing in the party’s absence.
