Rule 27 - Cross Petitions(a) Separate Orders. Where each party has separately petitioned a court for a protective order, a judicial officer may grant separate protective orders upon finding that each petitioning party is entitled to protection and has requested appropriate relief. The judicial officer should make reasonable effort to ensure that no conflicting relief is granted.(b) Hearing on Separate Petitions. If opposing parties file separate petitions for protective orders, the judicial officer may:(1) hear each petition at separate ex parte hearings, or(2) set a joint hearing on both cases.(c) Case Numbers. The cross petition may be assigned a new case number or a case number associated with a pending family law case in superior court. But if a court assigns the same number to a family law and a protective order case, the court cannot allow remote electronic access to any case information regarding the registration, filing of a petition for, or issuance of the protective order, if such publication would be likely to reveal to the general public the identity or location of the party protected by the order. See Rule 123(g)(1)(E)(ii) and (iii), Rules of the Supreme Court. See also18 U.S.C. § 2265(d)(3).Formerly Rule 1 in part, added Sept. 5, 2007, effective 1/1/2008.
