TULARE COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT JUDICIAL COUNCIL EXTENDS EMERGENCY RELIEF MEASURES
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to health and safety concerns resulting in substantial operational impediments, and the proclamations of states of emergency by Governor Newsom and President Trump, it was determined that the conditions described in section 68115(a) of the Government Code were met with regard to the Superior Court of California, County of Tulare (Court) as of March 17, 2020, and April 13, 2020. Orders issued on those dates at the request of Presiding Judge Brett R. Alldredge, authorizing the Court to implement relief authorized by section 68115. Upon the renewed request of Presiding Judge Alldredge, it is determined that the conditions described in section 68115(a) continue to exist (Gov. Code, § 68115(b)), and it is ordered that the Court is authorized to do the following:
Hold sessions anywhere in the county, including in correctional and juvenile detention facilities, from May 13, 2020, to June 9, 2020, inclusive (Gov. Code, § 68115(a)(1));
Declare that from May 13, 2020, to June 9, 2020, inclusive, be deemed holidays for purposes of computing the time for filing papers with the court under Code of Civil Procedure sections 12 and 12a, if the above-described emergency conditions substantially interfere with the public’s ability to file papers in a court facility on those dates (Gov.

Declare that from May 13, 2020, to June 9, 2020, inclusive, be deemed holidays for purposes of computing time under Welfare and Institutions Code sections 313, 315, 334, 631, 632, 637, and 657, if the above-described emergency conditions prevent the court from conducting proceedings or accepting filings as necessary to satisfy these deadlines on those dates (Gov. Code, § 68115(a)(5));
Extend the time period provided in section 825 of the Penal Code within which a defendant charged with a felony offense must be taken before a magistrate from 48 hours to not more than 7 days, applicable only to cases in which the statutory deadline otherwise would expire from May 13, 2020, to June 9, 2020, inclusive (Gov.
