EMAIL OUTAGE:

Due to a widespread Microsoft outage, the Court is currently unable to reliably send or receive emails.

Jan 22, 2026, 4:20 PM UPDATE: This issue persists, and at this time Microsoft has not provided an estimated time for restoration. As a result, the Court's Fax Filing system and other services that rely on email are currently unavailable.

Any fax filings, records request, traffic add-on requests, or other email-dependent submissions sent since approximately 11:30 AM on Jan. 22, 2026 will not be received or processed until email service is restored.

For assistance, please call the Court at (530) 251-8205 during normal business hours (Mon-Fri, 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM). 

This message will be updated as more information becomes available or removed once the issue is resolved.
