How to Request an Accommodation
In accordance with California Rules of Court 1.100, a request for accommodations must be made as far in advance as possible, and in any event, must be made no fewer than five (5) court days before the requested implementation date. The Court may, in its discretion, waive this requirement. The Court may be unable to accommodate an untimely request.

All requests must be forwarded to the ADA Coordinator. See above for the ADA Coordinator’s contact information.
Americans with Disabilities Act Grievance Procedure
Complaints alleging discrimination on the basis of disability can be filed through the court’s Grievance Procedure, which is established in accordance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Do not use this process if you filed a Request for Accommodation (MC-410) and your request was denied, and you want to appeal. See the procedures in California Rules of Court rule 1.100(g).
