Full Text of § 2029.630
Plain-English Summary
Rather than invent a separate scheduling regime for petitions filed under this article, this section ties them to a rule already familiar to every California litigator. A petition brought under either the initial-petition process or the follow-on-petition process is subject to the requirements of Section 1005 governing notice, and the filing and service of papers.
In practice, that means a petition under this article gets treated procedurally the same way an ordinary discovery motion in a purely California case would: the same notice periods, and the same filing and service mechanics that already apply to motions generally. Parties and courts working with these petitions don't need a separate scheduling framework; the familiar Section 1005 timeline does the job.
