The Sixth Judicial District presently has equipment to accommodate simultaneous electronic transmission at the courthouses in Pendleton, Hermiston, and Heppner. Unless prohibited by statute, all in-custody matters will be heard by simultaneous electronic transmission as defined in ORS 131.045 unless transport is ordered prior to the scheduled hearing. Out-of-custody matters may be heard by video or telephone conferencing if authorized by the judge.
If a person alleged to have a mental illness is in a mental health facility, the motions, hearings, and trial may be conducted by simultaneous electronic transmission.
Parties not appearing in person shall submit all exhibits to the court no later than ten (10) days prior to the scheduled court proceeding.
