Dear IAAL!
Could you explain what's the pleading paper is? And where would I find it? Can you just use the regular xerox paper instead?
I have a speeding ticket in Santa Ana, CA., and my court date is 7/5/00. How long in
advance do you have to file the verified complaint motion before the court date? Do you think I still have time to do it?
You are great, and I thank you in advance for
your help.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
If you are using Corel "WordPerfect", you can get your pleading paper macro as follows:
WordPerfect allows you to play and pause the play of macros.
To play a macro
1. Click Tools, Macro, Play.
2. Choose the folder where the file is stored from the Look In list box.
3. Double-click the filename of the macro you want to play.
If you don't have WordPerfect, you can get pleading paper here:

It would be highly advisable if you went to the courthouse, and asked the clerk to "see" a real court file so you can see the proper "format" of a pleading on real pleading paper. Remember, court files are public record, and you have a right to see any file you want. Just explain to the clerk why you need to see any file. Then, make a copy of a "motion" that may be in the file and use that "example" as your guide.
You need to file your motion, and pay your $23.00 filing fee, at least 15 days prior to your hearing date. If you don't have enough time, then call the clerk of the Traffic Court and request a "continuance" (because you'll be on vacation, right?)
Good luck.
