Grover Beach Court Closes PDF Print E-mail
Written by Administrator   

 

The Court regrets to announce that it will suspend operations at the Grover Beach Courthouse beginning January 3, 2012, due to unprecedented reductions in funding of the judicial branch. San Luis Obispo County Superior Court alone faces over a $1 million shortfall.

The Court recognizes that this decision will greatly inconvenience County residents during 2012. Court leaders hope that the suspension of operations is temporary and promise to aggressively seek restoration of the recent funding cuts so as to ensure continuing access to justice for everyone.

All Grover Beach cases will be heard at the San Luis Obispo Courthouse, at 1035 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo. All filings previously accepted in Grover Beach will be transferred to and handled at the Palm Street address during 2012.

Questions or comments about the changes in this notice should be submitted in writing to Susan Matherly, Court Executive Officer, 1035 Palm Street, Room 385, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.
