Study of 3rd District delays by Judicial Council hasn’t started
The Supreme Court recommended the study in response to a petition by Jon B. Eisenberg, a retired appellate attorney who has been on a quest for over a year to draw attention to what he says are years of unreasonable delays in the Sacramento-based Court of Appeal.
In September, the California Supreme Court recommended "the Judicial Council complete an investigation of alleged delays in the 3rd District Court of Appeal's disposition of criminal appeals" within 180 days.
That deadline passed last week with no report. A spokesman for the Judicial Council said the court is awaiting a report from the Commission on Judicial Performance and questioned if the council "even can conduct an investigation."
