East County Hall of Justice to Remain Closed Friday

November 12, 2026

Power Outage and Backup Generator Failure Causes Closure; Cases Moving to Other County Courthouses.

Dublin, Calif. – November 12, 2026 – The East County Hall of Justice will be closed Friday due to an ongoing power outage. All cases scheduled for Friday will either be postponed to another day or relocated to a different courthouse.

In-custody defendants scheduled for a hearing today will have their cases moved as follows:

If the case was scheduled to be in:

  • Dept. 702 it will relocate to Dept. 107 at the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse in Oakland (661 Washington Street).
  • Dept. 712 will relocate to Dept. 109 at the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse in Oakland (661 Washington Street).
  • Dept. 705 and Dept. 710 will relocate to Dept. 8 at the Rene C. Davidson Courthouse in Oakland (1224 Fallon Street).

Defendants who are out of custody with a scheduled hearing Friday do not have to appear in court and will automatically have their case continued. If the courtroom where a case was set to be heard Friday is not listed above, that case will also be continued.

Defendants can check the status of their case online at the Court’s online Criminal Case Portal (https://www.alameda.courts.ca.gov/online-services/criminal-case-portal) or online Find My Next Court Date (https://www.alameda.courts.ca.gov/online-services/find-your-court-date).

The traffic clerk’s office is also closed. If you need to visit a traffic clerk’s office, the court has traffic clerk offices open at the Fremont Hall of Justice at 39439 Paseo Padre Parkway, Fremont and the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse at 661 Washington St., Oakland.

The power failure at the East County Hall of Justice was due to ongoing maintenance and repairs of the main power source to the building. As the repairs were proceeding, the building was utilizing a backup generator as its sole power source. That generator failed Thursday and is being replaced. The Court is planning on having the East County Hall of Justice operational on Monday.

Please visit the Court’s website at www.alameda.courts.ca.gov for updates on the building’s status.

The Court apologizes for any inconvenience this power outage has caused.
