Form 27 Generic Motion {27}

MOTION. Use this form only if you do not have a lawyer. A “motion” asks the court to do something. Be specific and state what you want the court to do and why the court should do it. Include a title for your motion (what you want the court to do) in the blank at the top of Form 27 after “Motion for ___.” Include your case number and sign the form. • To ask the court to appoint counsel, use Form 24 instead. • To ask the court to waive your filing fees, use Form 4 or Form 23 instead. • To ask the court to extend your deadline to file any document, use Form 14 instead. • If you need a decision in fewer than 21 days to avoid serious harm, notify the court’s Emergency Motions department by calling (415) 355-8020 or emailing emergency@ca9.uscourts.gov before filing the motion. You do not have to use Form 27. You may write your own motion instead. www.FormsWorkflow.com
