He is still listed on the 4/7 roster.... maybe a teleconference hearing.

Tuesday, April 7th:
*Status Conference Hearing (@ 9am PT) – CA – Nikko Lee Perez (b. Nov. 8, 1996 in Fresno, found March 29, 2007 east of Woodland in an irrigation slough), Kato Allen Perez (b. 1992 in Merced, known to be dead), Mika Alena Perez (b. 1995 in Merced, not found), Nikko Lee Perez (b. 1997 in Fresno, not found) & Kato Krow Perez (b. 2001 in Fresno, not found) - *Paul Allen Perez (57/30 @ time of first crime) arrested & charged (1/23/20) & arraigned (1/28/20) with 5 counts of premeditated murder with special circumstances of lying in wait, torture & multiple victims, 4 counts of assault on a child under 8 with force likely to produce great bodily injury resulting in death & criminal enhancements for his prior convictions. Plead not guilty. Held without bond.
Nikko was identified thru enhanced DNA technology. Perez was arrested at a State prison in Delano days before he was expected to be released on unrelated charges. He is convicted sex offender. Alleged murders occurred: on or about Oct. 21, 1992 (Kato Allen); sometime between Nov. 2 1995, and May 2, 1996 (Mika Alena); sometime between Nov. 8, 1996, and May 8, 1997 (Nikko Lee, child found in Woodland); sometime between Oct. 29, 1997, and April 29, 1998 (Nikko Lee #2); and between April 16, 2001, and Oct. 16, 2001 (Kato Krow). The Yolo County coroner's report in 2007 lists the cause of death for Nikko Lee Perez as blunt force trauma, describing numerous broken bones. Investigators have since discovered the remains of a second baby, Kato Allen Perez, but would not disclose where or how the baby was found. The remains of the three other infants have not been located.
1/28/20 Update: Arraignment: plead not guilty, held without bond. Next Preliminary hearing on 2/10/20. 1/31/20 Update: In Yolo Superior Court on Friday morning, the preliminary hearing set to begin on Monday, Feb. 10 was canceled to give attorneys more time to review details of the case. A pre-hearing conference to check on progress made was scheduled for Monday, March 9.
3/9/20 Update: A status conference to ensure that the defense & prosecution are ready to proceed will happen on Tuesday, April 7. Judge David Reed scheduled his preliminary hearing for Tuesday, May 26 to May 29th where prosecutors plan to unveil their evidence in the case, followed by Reed’s ruling as to whether it’s sufficient enough to uphold the charges. A preliminary hearing was originally set to take place in February but was canceled to give attorneys more time to review details of the case.

Coronavirus: Where a few of Yolo County’s high profile court cases stand now – Daily Democrat

June 9, 2020

Many of Yolo County’s court cases have been put on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, with new safety protocols in place, jury trials will be allowed to resume at Yolo Superior Court in July.

Before things pick back up, here is a refresher on where a few high-profile cases stand:
[.....]
Paul Allen Perez: Charged with the murder of five of his infant children between 1992 and 2001, Perez is still awaiting a preliminary hearing. A pre-hearing conference has been scheduled for July 27 to discuss when the case will proceed. In January, the 57-year-old plead not guilty to charges including five counts of murder with enhancements for lying in wait and torture. He is also facing four counts of assault on a child under age 8 with force likely to produce great bodily injury resulting in death as well as a number of enhancements. The body of one Perez’s children was discovered by a fisherman at Conway Slough just east of Woodland in March 2007. The case went cold until a DNA comparison performed last year was able to identify the baby as Nikko Lee Perez.

A pre-hearing conference is just a scheduling conference (attorneys normally use CourtCall to appear over the phone) and this one is to eventually reset the preliminary hearing which in this case is supposed to be 4-5 days long. That’s not going to happen any time soon, IMO due to COVID.
