Judge finds default violations in three cases; Cook case reset to June 30
Summary
At a June 16 administrative hearing, the presiding judge found three code-infraction matters committed via default and imposed penalties; a fourth case for Cook Keith was rescheduled after a missed Zoom appearance.
An administrative hearing on June 16 concluded with default findings and penalties entered in three cases and one case rescheduled, the presiding judge said.
The findings affect four matters on the court calendar: Cook Keith (case no. 580253862), Javier Hernandez (580176570), Sustine Camba (250123877) and Mescal (250071985). The judge ordered penalties in the three matters where respondents did not appear and rescheduled Cook’s case for a later date after an attempted Zoom appearance failed.
The rescheduled case: The judge said Cook Keith attempted to join by Zoom earlier but was not connected when the court convened. The case was continued and resummonsed for June 30 at 2:30 p.m.
Javier Hernandez: The judge noted two mailed notices had been sent to Hernandez and that a prior mail return had been recorded. Hernandez did not appear for the hearing; the judge directed that one infraction be found committed by default and that the related penalty be imposed. The transcript indicates a second infraction in the same file remained pending and that staff should process the committed finding tied to insurance where applicable.
Sustine Camba: Notice of the hearing was mailed on June 4 after the matter had been continued from a prior date. Camba did not appear; the judge ordered that the violation be found committed via default and that the penalty be imposed.
Mescal: The judge recounted that notice for Mescal was mailed May 12 and that the respondent visited the courthouse window on May 22 and was provided a copy of the hearing date. Mescal failed to appear for the scheduled hearing; the judge found the infraction committed by default and ordered the penalty and late fees imposed.
Procedural details and notices: Throughout the hearing the judge referenced returned mail and updated addresses as the basis for continuing or entering default findings. Where notice was found to have been mailed with adequate time, the judge directed default findings and enforcement of penalties when respondents did not appear, and in one instance ordered rescheduling when a remote connection attempt was documented.
The hearing concluded after the afternoon calendar was completed and the judge adjourned the session.
