@PayrollNerd - I know you checked this for me on Friday - thought maybe Monday would give you something!

Anything on Maribel's case? Maybe Clement's attorney is still with covid- well not exactly covid - but health issues? That is why there is no hearing date. All I have is the trial starts on 9/8/22.

TIA!
 
@PayrollNerd - is the court site working again? Next hearing on Maribel's case or even Isabel's? I have jury selection (Maribel) starting on 9/8/22.

TIA! :)

Thanks!
 
@PayrollNerd - hate to bother you, but wondering if there "might" be some kind of update yet on court hearings. I have trial for Maribel case starting on 9/8/22 - that is the day I will be flying back...

TIA! :)

Neither website that used to provide information works. It either produces an error or doesn't provide anything. If found a community email address that you can ask questions. So I sent an email at 10:26am EST. Hopefully, I'll hear something eventually.

Hello,

I have repeatedly attempted to find current calendar information for the above listed case. The two sites I’ve tried do not pull up any information or list an error. Is the website down or is there another link that can be used by the public?

Okay! I got a response from the Pima Court. His next hearing is Sept 1st at 3:30pm. There's a listing of hearings on the attached report. I replied and told her that either something changed to force it to download to a PDF or my Firefox browser now does that. Not sure but either way I was able to duplicate her report. I looked in my Downloads Folder on my laptop and there are no prior downloads for this report. Weird.

The body of the email:

Subject: RE: Case: CR20183978 CLEMENTS, CHRISTOPHER

Good morning,

The “jp” site is specific to the Consolidated Justice Court, Mr. Clements’ cases would not be found through that court.

Hearing information was available on the Superior Court calendar site you reference below, I was able to run that report quite easily. It could be that you needed to add a few more perimeters – I searched as follows:

Party Name: Clements
Bench: Criminal
Date Range: 08/24/2022 through 10/31/2022

The results came up swiftly. The report is attached.
