Temporary Sexual Assault Protection Order and Notice of Hearing

(TMORSXP) (JIS Order Code: TSX)



1. The court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that Petitioner is a victim of nonconsensual sexual conduct or nonconsensual sexual penetration as defined in RCW 7.90.010 by the respondent; Chapter 26.50 RCW does not apply; and:

Petitioner is 16 years of age or older.

Petitioner is a minor child, age , on whose behalf the petition is brought. Petitioner’s parent(s) or legal guardian(s) are bringing this action and are appointed as the petitioner’s guardian ad litem for this proceeding.

Petitioner is a vulnerable adult as defined in RCW 74.34.020 or 74.34.021; or other adult who, because of age, disability, health, or inaccessibility, cannot file the petition.

Respondent is under 16 years of age. The court will determine at the next hearing whether Respondent’s parent or guardian or an attorney should be appointed as guardian ad litem to represent the respondent in this proceeding.

The court further finds that there is good cause to grant each remedy, regardless of the lack of prior service of process or of notice upon the respondent, because the harm which each remedy is intended to prevent or the irreparable injury which the surrender of weapons is intended to prevent would be likely to occur if the respondent were given any prior notice, or greater notice than was actually given, of the petitioner’s efforts to obtain judicial relief. It is therefore ordered:

1. No Contact: Respondent is restrained from having any contact with the petitioner, including but not limited to telephone calls, mail, written notes, e-mail, texting, and social media (such as Facebook and Twitter), directly, indirectly, or through third parties regardless of whether those third parties know of the order.

2. Exclude from place: Respondent is excluded from the following places:

Petitioner’s residence

Petitioner’s workplace

Petitioner’s school

Petitioner’s day care

Other:

3. Stay Away: Respondent is prohibited from knowingly coming within, or knowingly remaining within (distance) of:

Petitioner’s residence

Petitioner’s workplace

Petitioner’s school

Petitioner’s day care

Other:

4. Other:

Surrender of Weapons Order filed separately

Respondent must comply with the Order to Surrender Weapons Issued Without Notice filed separately, which requires the respondent to surrender any firearm and other dangerous weapons.

The court finds that irreparable injury could result if the order to surrender weapons is not issued.

The respondent may file a Respondent’s Petition to Reopen Temporary Sexual Assault Protection Order, form SA 6.050, if the respondent did not receive actual prior notice of the hearing and if the respondent alleges that he or she had a meritorious defense to the order or that the order or its remedy is not authorized by chapter 7.90 RCW.

Respondent appeared in person before the court and was served a copy of the summons, petition, and order by the court; further service is not required under RCW 7.90.140(6).

The respondent is directed to appear and show cause why this temporary sexual assault protection order should not be made effective for up to two years and why the court should not order the relief requested by the petitioner. If Respondent is under 16 years of age then his or her parent(s) or legal guardian(s) shall also appear.

Failure to appear at the hearing may result in the court granting all of the relief requested in the petition.

What California Code of Civil Procedure CCP 5276 Covers

California Code of Civil Procedure CCP 5276 is a numbered section within the California Code of Civil Procedure. This page provides practical guidance about preparing documents and managing procedural steps that reference CCP 5276, how to preserve evidentiary integrity, and how electronic workflows can support compliance. It is not a substitute for reading the statute or for legal advice; users should consult the official code text and, where appropriate, a licensed California attorney before filing or serving documents that cite CCP 5276.

Why understanding CCP 5276 matters for filings

Knowing how CCP 5276 applies in a given case helps ensure filings meet court expectations, prevents avoidable procedural defects, and supports admissibility of documentary evidence in California civil proceedings.

Why understanding CCP 5276 matters for filings

Who typically works with forms referencing CCP 5276

The following groups most commonly prepare, sign, or file documents that reference California statutory procedure.

  • Plaintiffs and defendants — Parties managing pleadings, declarations, and enforcement paperwork in state civil matters.
  • Attorneys and paralegals — Responsible for drafting, verifying service, and ensuring compliance with procedural timelines.
  • Court clerks and judicial staff — Receive filings, confirm docket entries, and enforce format or service requirements.

If you are unsure whether CCP 5276 applies in your matter, consult the statute and confirm with California counsel or the filing court before taking action.

Step-by-step workflow for preparing a document that cites CCP 5276

Follow these sequential steps to prepare, validate, and submit documents that refer to CCP 5276 while preserving evidentiary integrity.

  • 01
    Prepare document: Draft using the court's required caption and include the statutory citation where relevant.
  • 02
    Verify parties: Confirm legal names and counsel details exactly as they appear in court records.
  • 03
    Attach supporting proof: Add declarations, exhibits, and certifications that substantiate factual assertions in the filing.
  • 04
    File and serve: File with the court clerk and effect service according to California rules and the court's instructions.

How to configure an online workflow for CCP 5276 filings

Set up a consistent digital workflow to collect signatures, attach exhibits, and produce a compliant file for court submission.

Document template Create a standardized template with the court caption and citation fields prefilled.
Required fields Lock critical fields such as case number, party names, and declaration date.
Signer order Define role-based signing order for counsel and parties.
Authentication Require at least email confirmation or stronger multi-factor verification.
Audit capture Enable full audit trail including IP, timestamp, and action log.

Where to file and how routing typically works

Filing and routing differ by court; use the clerk's instructions and local rules when submitting documents that reference CCP 5276.

  • Court clerk filing: Submit direct to the court's filing portal or in person as required.
  • Electronic filing: Use authorized eFiling service providers when the court accepts electronic submissions.
  • Service on parties: Serve opposing parties per California Code of Civil Procedure rules.
  • Proof of service: File a proof of service document with the court after service is completed.

Digital signing and technical prerequisites

Use an eSignature platform that supports audit trails, secure storage, and the authentication strength required for court filings.

  • Integrations: Salesforce | NetSuite | Google Workspace
  • Supported formats: PDF, DOCX, HTML
  • Security features: TLS, AES-256

Ensure the chosen platform can export a court-ready PDF with an embedded audit trail and permits retention of original signed records for the required statutory period.

Practical tips to reduce errors and delays

Adopt consistent processes, verify identity and service, and retain auditable records to reduce procedural risk when filing documents tied to CCP 5276.

Verify legal names and case data
Confirm party names, case numbers, and court captions directly from the court docket before filing; mismatches are a common cause of clerk rejections and processing delays.
Preserve proof of service and signatures
Keep completed proof of service, signed declarations, and a complete audit trail including timestamps and IP addresses to support later admissibility and show compliance with service rules.
Use compliant eSignature workflows
Choose a platform that produces PDF/A or court-acceptable PDFs, captures an immutable audit trail, and supports the authentication strength needed for your matter.
Consult counsel for statutory interpretation
When the statute's application is unclear or enforcement is disputed, obtain legal advice to avoid procedural missteps that can carry substantive consequences.

How practitioners and firms apply eSignature and digital workflows

Real-world examples illustrate how legal teams and organizations streamline signature collection and maintain compliance when preparing court materials.

Brian Fitzgibbons, Optica Ventures LLC

Optica standardized court-facing templates to reduce rework and ensure consistency of captions and citations.

  • They used cloud-based signing to gather counterparty signatures remotely.
  • The result preserved a complete audit trail and reduced clerical rejections, making it easier to prepare accurate filings and coordinate with counsel.

Dan Rotelli, BIS

BIS emphasized security and chain-of-custody for sensitive legal documents by using an audited signing platform.

  • They required multi-factor authentication for external signers.
  • That approach ensured defensible evidence management in disputes and aligned document handling with organizational compliance policies.

Court-specified deadlines:

Follow the exact dates ordered by the court for filings and responses.

Service timing:

Service deadlines depend on method—personal, mail, or electronic service rules vary.

Response periods:

Allow time for opposing counsel to respond before seeking relief from the court.

Processing time:

Clerks may take days to docket and return filing confirmation.

Retention timeline:

Keep signed records for statutory retention periods and until matters are resolved.
