Operative words

On June 15, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom fully reopened the state's economy... On June 17, 2021, the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board (Cal/OSHA) adopted its revised Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS)... the Court hereby orders: 1. Riverside Superior Court clerk's office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., excluding holidays, until further notice. Clerk's offices are open for in-person court services, however remote alternatives are still available...

Notes

Key Q3 2021 court instrument: the Court's own recital ties the continuing limitation to the pandemic and to the Cal/OSHA ETS.
