JOSHUA TREE COURTHOUSE TO RESUME SMALL-CLAIMS HEARING MONDAY

Some of the non-criminal cases in San Bernardino County courts have been placed on hold during the state’s stay-at-home order. The stay-at-home order was lifted January 25, and Managing editor Tami Roleff says rescinding the order has affected some types of court cases…

As of Monday, February 1, San Bernardino Superior Court will resume all small claims hearings held in Joshua Tree, Barstow, and Fontana. All individuals with small claims hearings on the calendar starting February 1 will resume as scheduled. All other matters previously scheduled in January have received a notice of rescheduled hearing date and do not need to come to court. The public is encouraged to visit the court’s COVID-19 site frequently for updates (see: www.sb-court.org/covid-19). Some court business can be conducted remotely.
