| Contra Costa, CA | There are no PATs available, all clerk-assisted. Researchers can submit a maximum of 5 requests at a time. TAT can usually be within 24 hours, unless cases are older than 2015. |
| Los Angeles, CA | PII has been fully removed from the online search portal. For cases filed on or after 01/20/2024, PII can be found on PATs within county courthouses. However, for cases filed before this date, requests must be made through the court clerks at the courthouse where the case was originally filed. Runners may request up to five cases each day at any courthouse, but a courthouse may temporarily stop accepting requests if they develop a backlog. |

Cases filed within the last 3 years are stored at the court. Older cases are kept off-site and take at least 30 days to retrieve. If a file has been pulled and is not available, the clerk must wait for its return. Clerks do not provide ETAs or status updates, nor will they expedite requests. |

The process can be cumbersome with clerk delays and lengthy wait times, as some files may be stored offsite at a warehouse. Please expect delays as Honolulu’s lengthy process can take some time due to clerk assistance. |
