Rule 4.153 Order on change of venue
Change of Venue
After receiving the list of courts from the Administrative Director, the presiding judge, or his or her designee, must:
(1) Determine the court in which the case is to be tried. In making that determination, the court must consider, under Penal Code section 1036.7, whether to move the jury rather than to move the pending action. In so doing, the court should give particular consideration to the convenience of the jurors.
(2) Transmit to the receiving court a certified copy of the order of transfer and any pleadings, documents, or other papers or exhibits necessary for trying the case.
(3) Enter the order for change of venue in the minutes of the transferring court. The order must include the determinations in (1).
