Calendaring in California State Court

Calendaring-related errors are the leading cause of malpractice lawsuits, particularly in California, where deadlines come from several sources, including the Code of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Court, and local rules. Usually, calculating a single deadline requires the application of several codes and rules. A single error, e.g., using an old rule, forgetting to add extra time based on the service method (or adding extra time when you should not), counting calendar days instead of court days, missing a holiday, or simply miscounting, will cause a calendaring error.

I cannot stress enough the importance of using a computerized calendaring program to calculate your deadlines. By computerized calendaring, I do not mean that you manually calculate the deadline and enter it on a calendar on your computer, or that you use an electronic calendar to help you calculate the date that is five days before or after a given date. I mean rules-based computerized calendaring, such as Deadlines On Demand or Abacus Law. With these programs, you simply enter an "event," and they automatically calculate the deadlines for you in accordance with the applicable codes and rules.

Even with rules-based computerized calendaring, however, you need to know how to calendar manually. What if you need to calendar something when your computer is down or inaccessible? What if your computer is fully operational, but you do not know enough to tell it that something needs calendaring? You must know the calendaring steps.

Calendaring in California State Court

Calendaring Steps

Step 1: Identify the triggering event

A "triggering event" is anything which triggers one or more deadlines. A triggering event might be the filing of a document, the service of a document, or an appearance. For example: filing a complaint, serving a complaint, entering default, answering a complaint, serving interrogatories, serving interrogatory responses, a hearing date, a deposition date, settlement, etc. To identify triggering events in your case, assume that everything you file with the court and/or serve on opposing counsel, and everything you are served with, including notices from the court, involves a triggering event, i.e., something needs to be calendared.

Step 2: Identify what is triggered

Once you have recognized that a triggering event has occurred, you need to identify what has been triggered. For example: filing a complaint triggers the deadline to serve defendant and file Proof of Service of Summons, serving the complaint triggers the deadline for defendant to serve the response, a hearing on a motion triggers the deadline to file and serve notice of motion, opposition, and reply. Sometimes deadlines are triggered which are less obvious. Rules-based computerized calendaring may reveal deadlines you would not have thought of on your own. For example, filing a complaint also triggers the last day for plaintiff to challenge the judge assigned to the case, last day to hold case management conference, first day for defendant to make a motion for summary judgment, last day to bring the action to trial.

Step 3: Identify the current codes and rules which apply to the deadlines

Once you have determined what is triggered, you need to identify the current codes and rules governing the applicable deadlines. It is not enough to identify the correct code section or rule number; you must be sure to apply the current deadline in the code section or rule. In California, the codes and rules are "moving targets." The one you memorized last year or the year before may be different today. This is another benefit of rules-based computerized calendaring programs -- they are updated to apply the current code sections and rules.

Step 4: Correctly apply those codes and rules

This is the most difficult part. It requires several steps which must be accomplished in order and painstakingly applied. It involves identifying what to count, how to count, and then actually counting in conformance with certain very specific rules. Again, rules-based computerized calendaring programs do all of this instantly.

Step 4A: Identify the time frame for each triggered deadline

When calculating the due date for a response to a complaint, you have to know that the relevant time frame begins with the effective date of service (and you have to know how to determine the effective date of service). When calculating the due date for responses to written discovery, you have to know that the relevant time frame begins with the date the discovery was served, and ends with the date the responses are to be served.

Once you have identified the time period you need to count, you need to know exactly how to count the days in that time period.

Step 4B: Identify what date to start counting and what date to stop counting

C.C.P. § 12 provides: "The time in which any act provided by law is to be done is computed by excluding the first day and including the last, unless the last day is a holiday, and then it is also excluded." Thus, if interrogatories are served on April 1st (the date, according to the proof of service, that they were mailed, faxed, etc.), in order to calculate the 30-day deadline to respond, you start counting with April 2nd as the first day, April 3rd as the second day, and keep counting until you reach the 30th day, May 1st. So long as the interrogatories were personally served, and so long as May 1st is not a weekend or a holiday, the deadline to serve responses is May 1st.

Step 4B(1): Counting or skipping interim weekends and California holidays

In order to calendar correctly, you must know whether to count or skip weekends and California holidays occurring during the relevant time frame. This depends upon whether you are supposed to count "calendar days" or "court days." In that regard, unless a code or rule specifies "court days," as is the case with notices of motion, oppositions, and replies under C.C.P. § 1005(b), you are supposed to count calendar days. Thus, "five days" means "five calendar days."

Of course, you cannot count court days unless you know the holidays in the court in which your case is pending. You must be very careful to use a calendar which shows the California holidays. In addition to the federal holidays, California celebrates Lincoln's Birthday (February 12th), Cesar Chavez Day (March 31st), and the day after Thanksgiving. For the period September 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, California courts were also closed on the third Wednesday of each month, and those days were considered holidays for calendaring purposes.

Step 4B(2): Determine the last day - deal with weekends, holidays, and extra time

When calculating the last day to perform an act triggered by the service of a document (e.g., last day to respond to a discovery demand, last day to make a motion to compel further responses to discovery), you must consider how the document which triggered the deadline was served. If it was personally served, there is one procedure; if it was not personally served, additional steps must be taken. In either case, you need to know what happens when the last day to do something lands on a holiday, and you need to know how to determine the "last day."

C.C.P. § 12a(a) provides: "If the last day for the performance of any act provided or required by law to be performed within a specified period of time is a holiday, then that period is hereby extended to and including the next day that is not a holiday." "Holiday" includes all of the California holidays and weekends. Thus, if the last day is a Saturday, the deadline would be extended to Monday, so long as it is not a holiday. If Monday is a holiday, then the deadline would be extended to Tuesday.

(a) For personal service, adjust when the last day falls on a weekend or California holiday

If the 30th day after interrogatories were personally served is a Saturday, this is the "last day" under C.C.P. § 12a(a). Since the last day is a weekend, the due date is extended to the next court day, Monday (unless it is a holiday).

(b) For a triggering document not personally served, first add the applicable extension of time to determine the last day, then adjust when the last day falls on a weekend or California holiday

As a general rule, documents may be served personally (also referred to as service "by hand" or "hand delivery"), by mail, by express mail, or overnight delivery (C.C.P. §§ 1011, 1013), and, so long as the recipient has agreed to accept service by these methods, service generally may be made by fax (C.R.C., Rule 2.306) or electronically (C.C.P. § 1010.6(a)(6) and C.R.C., Rule 2.260). Every method other than hand delivery has associated extensions of time.

These extensions of time are mandated because, for the most part, deadlines and notice periods start running from the date documents are served, not the date they are received by the opposing party. For example, responses to interrogatories are due 30 days after the interrogatories are served; a motion to compel further responses must be filed within 45 days after the responses to interrogatories are served; a deposition may be taken ten days after the notice of taking deposition is served; a motion may be heard 16 court days after notice of the motion is served.

Any method other than personal service will result in a delay between the act of service and the person's actual receipt of the document. In that regard, service by mail is deemed complete upon deposit in a USPS mail box (C.C.P. § 1013(a)), but the papers might not arrive in the recipient's mail for days. Service by fax is deemed complete upon transmission of the entire document to the receiving party's fax machine (C.C.P. § 1013(e) and C.R.C., Rule 2.306(g)), but that does not mean the document will be in the hands of the intended recipient that day. A document served electronically is deemed complete upon transmission (C.C.P. § 1010.6(a)(6)), but it may sit unopened in the recipient's email inbox for hours, if not days.

To obviate any inherent prejudice in this delay in receipt of a document, various extensions of time are added depending upon the type of document served and the method by which it is served. These extensions of time are found in C.C.P. §§1013, 1005(b), and 1010.6. Note: By their own terms, these code sections are not always applicable! Fortunately, rules-based calendaring programs know when they are and when they are not.

Extensions for Service by Mail under C.C.P. § 1013 and 1005(b)

Add five days for service by mail to a person within California; ten days outside California, but within the U.S., and twenty days outside the U.S. These extensions would apply to notice periods for depositions, hearings on motions, and time to respond or act within a given time period.

Extensions for Fax/Overnight Delivery/Express Mail under C.C.P. § 1013 and 1005(b)

C.C.P. §1013 adds two court days; C.C.P. § 1005(b) (for motions only) adds two calendar days. These extensions would apply to notice periods for depositions, hearings on motions, and time to respond or act within a given time period. This two court day vs. two calendar day difference is an unfortunate one, which seems to invite errors. It is easy to forget which period of time you are supposed to add. Sometimes the result will be the same, e.g., when the next two days are non-holiday weekdays, they are both calendar days and court days. However, when one or both of the next two days fall on a weekend or a holiday, there is room for error.

Extensions for Electronic Service

C.C.P. § 1010.6 adds two court days to notice periods and time to respond or act.

Here's how these provisions would extend the time within which to respond to interrogatories, depending upon how they are served: service by mail on a party in California - five extra days; service by fax, overnight delivery or express mail - two extra court days; service by electronic service - two extra court days.

Were the extensions applied to service of a notice of motion, service by mail would extend the period by five days; fax, overnight delivery or express mail would extend the period by two days; and electronic service would extend the period by two court days.

It is at this point in the calendaring process that you provide for the extra days. It is imperative that you know where to add them.

Rule of Thumb

When determining the last day to respond to a document not personally served, the "last day" is determined by counting the number of days allotted pursuant to the applicable code section or rule, and then immediately adding the applicable extension of time. For example, if Saturday, November 14th is the 30th day after service of interrogatories by mail, to determine the "last day," you simply continue counting until you reach the 35th day, November 19th. You do not make any adjustment for the fact that day 30 was a Saturday, because it is not the "last day." If Saturday, November 14th is the 30th day after service of interrogatories by fax, to determine the "last day," you simply continue counting two court days, to Tuesday, November 17th. You do not make any adjustment for the fact that day 30 was a Saturday, because it is not the "last day."

Another Rule of Thumb

When in doubt, serve your responses earlier rather than later, and err on the side of giving more notice rather than less.

As you can see, winding one's way through the California state court calendaring maze is difficult at best. It certainly gets easier with experience, and simple calculations may become almost second nature. However, given the constant changes in the codes and rules, the potential for human error at every step of the way, and the dire results of a missed deadline, rules-based computerized calendaring should be utilized.

What Is A Fax?

Some people assume that the era of email and modern technology have done away with past technologies in the office place. This can be true for a lot of things, but there are some things that are still available today. Did you know that a fax machine is still a staple office tool? That's right, a machine that sends information from paper to around the world is still a valid resource, even in today's era of high speed internet.

A fax machine doesn't require elaborate instructions. The machine is simple: the top of the machine features a number key pad with phone, and an area where you can feed paper into it, and send it to another machine thousands of miles away. This is similar to what can be done with an email, but a fax provides a direct way to send a hard copy document hundreds or thousands of miles away.

Let's assume you're at an office in Los Angeles and you need to send a document to someone in Tokyo, Japan. The document is a physical document that you don't have a digital version of. You need to send it to them right away, and they need to be able to sign off on the information that is on the paper. What do you do? Well, you could go with the new route of sending information by scanning the paperwork one by one into a scanner, then send it in a pdf or jpeg image or you can go with the alternative.

What Is A Fax?

The alternative route is a fax. The fax takes the papers and copies them, much like a scanner would scan them, and then sends them over to Japan right away. Within minutes the Tokyo office has the paperwork in full view, readable and printed out, and they can sign off on whatever the information is.

While many younger people are not keen on using faxes, many offices that have a lot of paperwork to sort through that may require signatures. They utilize fax machines on a regular basis. Some people assume that these are archaic pieces of technology, but their continual use is something that many people still have in their modern offices.

The next time you're in an office, look around, and you will probably see this machine still used in many arenas. People still rely on them more than just scanning documents into a scanner and sending documents electronically. If you don't have a digital source, this option is worthwhile.

Fax technology comes in 3 flavors: ancient, outdated and high tech modern.

Prehistoric faxing is still going on. Whoever is using a fax machine with a dedicated telephone line is running a dinosaur. The beast must be fed with paper and toner and it must be pampered to stay in shape. It is slow, can only do one fax at a time, expensive, insecure and more failure prone than the other types of faxing. This is the ancient model whose time has come and gone.

Fax PC - Why Your PC is the Best Fax System

There is a more up to date method of faxing. The outdated method is using the fax modem in your computer to send faxes. Most modern computers don't have fax modems anymore but if you have one, you can set up a fax printer and send a single fax on it. I've found these faxes to be even slower than a dedicated fax machine. If you want to receive faxes on the modem into the computer, you will need specialized software. This method is still limiting in that it is slow, it can only do one ingoing or outbound fax at a time, inbound requires special software and it ties up a phone line.

The high tech modern method of faxing is to fax via PC using an Internet fax service. This method has 5 advantages.

1. Flexibility - You can do your faxing anywhere, anytime and all you need is machine that can connect to the web. Since online fax is based on email, you determine who gets a fax. You don't have to load your knapsack with a fax machine and stuff your attache case with fax paper.

2. Economy - You don't pay for a fax machine, dedicated phone line, paper, toner and don't have to worry about paper storage.

3. Green Machine - You help the environment when you only print the faxes you need. You also don't have to discard toner cartridges in special places. You use less energy since you don't run the fax machinery.

4. Reliability - Internet fax is provided by companies with safe and secure computer systems and equipment so that if any piece goes down, another substitute immediately takes over. You don't depend on your local equipment. If your computer is off or even not working, faxes will still reach your email and you can send your fax email from anything that can reach a website.

5. Time saving- No more waiting on fax lines. You can send and receive multiple faxes simultaneously.

The Need for Fax by PC

The truth is that there really should be no need for fax in modern times because everything can really be done by email and other means. Steve Sagan of PC Magazine indicated that Ethna Piazza, a tech-focused lawyer and partner at Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP, told him that e-signatures of various sorts are perfectly legal. Every time you click "buy" on an online shopping site, for example, you're executing an e-signature, she said.

However, some people and organizations still have a fear of over dependence on electronic transactions and record keeping. After working in a major bank in the IT department, I can understand that someone would be more comfortable with having their life savings recorded on a piece of paper rather than represented a some blip on a large computer that might disappear with the next bolt of static electricity. (This fear is really irrational these days with all the safeguards and multiple copies of everything in place.) Standard faxing somehow seems more safe to them. I doesn't seem that faxing will stop being a crucial business communication method any time soon.

Putting a signature on documents faxed electronically used to be a problem but it isn't anymore. The online fax services provide software that lets you record your signature and put it onto any type of electronic or office type of document.

The Bottom Line

Faxing is going to be around for quite a while and with all the advantages and savings of Fax by PC using Internet fax, it's time to stop riding the brontosaurus and hop into your futuristic souped up fax system.

Easily Find Business Fax Numbers Using a List

How often have you complained to your colleagues about how hard it is to find business fax numbers? The fact is, finding the right business fax numbers can be a real pain especially if what you are looking for are numbers belonging to companies in a specific industry. Yet, the solution to such a problem is relatively simple. All you need to do is to simply acquire a list of business fax numbers from a listing company over the internet. With this, you can now easily find numbers without the pain you used to face in the past.

The first step to solving the pain associated with finding business fax numbers would be to acquire a list of business fax numbers from one of the many listing companies located on the internet. Generally, these companies are involved in the business of data collection and maintain a large database containing contact information of businesses throughout the United States. It is important, however, that you critically evaluate each of these companies by reading reviews posted on forums as well as the relevant testimonials before making your purchase. For those who do not have the luxury of going throughout this process, a good listing company to start with would be one at MailingListUsa which maintains a regularly updated database of business fax numbers throughout the Untied States.

The next step you would need to take upon acquiring such a list would be to categorize the business fax numbers contained within your list. A good method of categorization would be to sort these numbers in accordance to the various industries in which these businesses participate in. This is extremely important as it would allow you to find the right contacts easily when you need them. Make sure that your categorization system is as detailed as possible as you would definitely wish to maximize your returns when it comes to launching a fax marketing campaign for your business. Having a loose system of categorization often results in inefficiency as your faxes often gets sent out to the wrong target audience. As such, it is important to maintain a well-classified business fax numbers list.

Easily Find Business Fax Numbers Using a List

Last of all, you should also ensure that you purchase a business fax number list only when you are about to use it. Unlike other things, information pertaining to these numbers gets obsolete relatively quickly. This is due to the very nature of contact information, which tends to change from time to time. Thus, it is important to purchase such information only when you require them. While classification is necessary for convenience, up-to-date information is important in ensuring the relevance of such information to your business's marketing efforts. After all, sending business fax to numbers which no longer exist is in fact a waste of much precious time and effort.

Clearly, getting a business fax number list is important in order to allow you to be able to easily find business fax numbers when you need them. The time and effort that you save as well as the convenience that you gain are in many ways, priceless.

Multimedia Marketing, Creating Multiple Income Streams

The Internet is full of business building systems that promise the world. We've all seen them, the hundreds of "incredible breakthrough super systems" that promise to make you thousands tomorrow and millions by the end of the year. Some even promise to do the prospecting and closing for you if you'll buy the postcards and mail 25 a week. What they don't tell you is that possibly an interested person willing to at least inquire about the opportunity might actually read their one out of 100 postcards you mailed in a month's time. That's no guarantee that they'll sign up. The hype, the company feeds you, makes it sound so likely. They convince you that their product or service is so great that once shown, it sells itself. 

The truth is, it just doesn't work that way. Soon you find out that you're going to have to call and do the prospecting yourself if you want any results. That's just part of marketing your business unless you have access to automated marketing tools which you have to pay for. That gets pretty expensive unless you become an affiliate of each and every one of them. Then you have to market all of them and get sign-ups just to pay for their fees, and for that, you need some really good organization skills and a website to advertise them. You can put banners and links from each of them on one website and list that website with all the traffic exchanges you can sign up for and that you think you can surf within one week. About half the traffic exchanges will give you no problem about it. The other half will disapprove your site because "there are too many redirects on your page". Then there's email campaigning using safelists and autoresponders as well as ads to post and forums to join. There's also blogs to run. That's what it takes, advertise, advertise, advertise in every possible arena you can access. 

Fax

Also, most of the MLM programs tell you to call your friends and family and talk them into giving it a look, and you do this until they run when they see you.   There are a few that teach you not to do that and how to find the right people to work with. So how do you market a multitude of opportunities and tools with one system? As mentioned above, there are marketing programs that you can join free and use the free marketing tools the company offers to persuade you to give them a try.    The person whose website through which you signed up, will begin calling you to interview you in order to determine whether you are serious enough, about building your business, to sign up as a pro member. 

Multimedia Marketing, Creating Multiple Income Streams

That is exactly how the business coaches and experts train you to view it, as an interviewing process to sift out the serious from the curious.  First, you are usually invited and sometimes urged to attend their training calls.  Then, they direct you to their website and ask you to read everything on each page or to watch a video while taking notes. Then, they either call you with certain questions about what was explained or email you with a list of questions, about the information, to answer so they can determine if there is a chance that you may be serious.  In other words, they give you homework assignments.  Depending on the company policies, they may give you one to three homework assignments to see if you'll stick with it. One of those assignments may be to study an overview of the objectives, tools, training, resources and investments involved.  If you're still interested or have decided to take the plunge, you may be sent a contract of sorts which you will be asked to carefully read and note any questions you may have to discuss with your sponsor as you are emphatically urged not to join until you fully understand what will be expected of you. 

When you fully understand the commitment you're about to make, you may be asked to initial a number of statements listed, sign it, date it and fax it to your sponsor so he or she can sign and date a copy and fax it back to you.  They don't want to waste time on anybody who isn't serious.  A lot of experts are advising you to use reverse marketing and targeting Internet marketers as part of what is taught by the coaches.  You are taught to take the position of a serious CEO interviewing potential partners or board members who are realistic.  You'll learn to find marketers who understand that they will be expected to invest time, diligent work and money in order to succeed.   

Summary

There are a lot of get-rich-quick scams out there promising big pay with zero work involved.  However, there are also some honest people out there too who will tell you up front that to succeed, in any business, you will have to invest a certain amount of time, work and money.  These people will not baby you.  Babies don't belong in business as Dani Johnson, a successful entrepreneur and business coach, put it.  They will go to great lengths to make sure you are serious before they invest their time working with you.

Increased Cramping During Menopause?

During your late forties or early fifties, you will begin a new stage of life, common to all women--menopause. Some rejoice at the thought to no longer having to buy tampons. Others cry, realizing their childbearing days are over. However, all experience new (and usually unpleasant) changes in their monthly hormonal cycle, one of which is cramping. Increased cramping, unfortunately, is not unusual for women later in life, but there are a number of treatment options. You don't have to live with the pain of menopausal cramps.

If you experienced cramping during your menstrual cycle, you will most likely experience it after you stop menstruating as well. This begins to occur during the first stage of menopause, called perimenopause. You may continue to experience menstruation irregularly during this time, but it is common to get cramps even without bleeding. You have officially entered the menopause stage of life after you have not experienced a period for one year.

Menopause HRT

At this time, cramping may still occur monthly--just because your ovaries no longer produce eggs does not mean you do not still experience some kind of monthly hormonal cycle--but it is rare, so talk to your doctor to be sure that you are otherwise healthy. Cramps after you have not experienced bleeding for over a year may indicate other more serious health problems. Also talk to your doctor if you have never experienced cramping before, but begin to suffer from cramps regularly.

Increased Cramping During Menopause?

You have a number of treatment options to relieve the pain you may experience from cramping, and your doctor can help you choose the best course of action for your body. While some women may find relief in simple over-the-counter medicines (the same ones used in earlier years for relief with menstruation cramping), others seek prescription strength drugs. In recent years, the idea of hormone replacement therapy has become a less popular option due to its association with cancer, but some doctors still recommend this course of action.

Natural remedies, such as herbs, are receiving thumbs ups from women across the country, and are now one of the most common treatments for menopausal women, as they help with not only cramping, but with other symptoms as well. This is a type of alternative medicine that is still being studied, but many women swear by the use of herbal remedies. Other alternative medicine treatment options include acupuncture, acupressure, and meditation.

There are also things you can do to relieve cramps at home, without medicine or medical procedures. These are often the same remedies used by menstruating women to relieve cramps during their periods. Try a warm bath to help with the tension and pain. Also remember that regular sexual activity is healthy and a great way to stop cramping. Massage can also be used at home as a temporary fix to cramps.

Overall, it is simply important to keep an open dialogue with your doctor about the numerous changes that are taking place in your body. Cramps are a common problem for the majority of women going through menopause, so you are not alone in your struggle to stop the painful cramping in the perimenopause stage of life.
