• The following collaborative court calendars currently assigned to Rancho Cucamonga will be reassigned to the San Bernardino Justice Center to support program alignment and ensure continuity of services:
  • Redlands Drug Court—currently heard Thursdays at 1:00 p.m.
  • P.R.I.D.E.—currently heard Thursdays at 11:00 a.m.
  • San Bernardino Drug Court—currently heard Thursdays at 1:00 p.m.
• Existing Proposition 36 cases will remain in their assigned courtrooms.

2. Hearings for Writs of Habeas Corpus will be relocated from the San Bernardino Justice Center to Department R19 at the Rancho Cucamonga Courthouse located at 8303 Haven Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730. Filings and documents will remain at the San Bernardino Justice Center Criminal Clerk’s office located at 247 West Third Street, San Bernardino, CA 92415.

3. Victorville Courthouse is adding a Civil courtroom to the district for a total of two civil courtrooms to continue addressing the needs of the high desert.
