extending after the end of the State of Emergency. The rule applies regardless of the reason for the eviction. On June 10, 2020, the Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court suspended a planned vote to repeal the emergency rule after August 3, 2020." Accordingly, the emergency rules related to evictions and judicial foreclosures are still in effect. The Judicial Council's emergency rules and the heightening public crisis arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic protect Californians from eviction for newly filed and pending actions, but leaves unresolved the status of people against whom a court had already issued an eviction order. The fate of these households is in your hands, and they are just as in need of protection from the public health crisis as the households who will be protected by the Judicial Council's rule. Accordingly, we urgently request that you agree to suspend enforcement of any and all pending eviction orders, unless they are directly related to a protective order (e.g., a TRO issued by a court related to domestic violence and/or elder dependent abuse), during the State of Emergency and at least ninety days thereafter. We ask that you please inform us by date/time of your position, by emailing or calling Ugochi Anaebere- Nicholson, at unicholsonPpubliclawcenter.org, or at 714-541-1010 x 280, Dianne Prado, at diannePheartla.org or at 323-643-4430, or Kate Mart, at kmarrPclsocal.org or at 714-571-5218 .
