Q: I am scheduled to appear in court on the 10th of July, Im in quarantine. I live in Riverside county. What do I do ?
This is an arraignement for a case that happened in 2008. I was picked up on a warrant in
Temecula several months ago.
I was to show proof of completion on a prop 36 class on 10/2014. I did not appear . They also charged me with a violation of probation. I didnt think I was on probation. I never spoke with anyone regarding that. I would like to transfer my case to Riverside County if at all posible. Thank you
A:
more info needed.
as a rule, one can't transfer cases.
you were probably placed on summary probation on prior with conditions that you didn't follow.
if you don't appear a bench warrant will be issued, but, it should be fairly easy for your lawyer to put the matter on calendar and move to quash it.
if you can't afford a lawyer and if you used a public defender in the past, maybe call to see if they can appear.
if they were previously appointed on the old case, that is a possibility.
you can also call the clerk of the court to put the court on notice.......i would think they would be understanding.
