Request for Remote Appearance in a Criminal Proceeding

Mendocino Superior Court · Local Forms

Last updated July 3, 2026

This form allows someone involved in a criminal case to ask the court permission to appear by video, phone, or other remote means instead of showing up in person at court hearings. A defendant, their lawyer, a witness, or another party to a criminal case would use this form when they have a valid reason (like illness, distance, or work obligations) that makes attending court in person difficult or impossible.
