Form DAL-010, the Notice of Stay of Proceedings and Early Evaluation Conference, is a crucial document in California's legal system for handling disability access litigation. It is issued by the court to inform all parties that legal proceedings are temporarily paused (stayed) and that an early evaluation conference has been scheduled to facilitate a potential settlement. This notice details the obligations of both the plaintiff and defendant, including deadlines for exchanging information. Today, this form can be filled out quickly and accurately using AI-powered services like Instafill.ai, which can also convert non-fillable PDF versions into interactive fillable forms.

The AI checks your answers before you download

14 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Case Number Consistency Across Pages

This check ensures that the 'CASE NUMBER' field is identical on both page 1 and page 2 of the form. Case numbers are unique identifiers for a legal proceeding, and any discrepancy can lead to misfiling or confusion in court records. If the numbers do not match, the submission should be rejected to prevent administrative errors.

State Bar Number Format

Validates that the 'STATE BAR NO.' field contains only numeric characters. A state bar number is a unique identifier for a licensed attorney, and it must be accurate for verification purposes. An invalid format could indicate a data entry error or an unlicensed individual, so the form should be flagged for correction.

Attorney Information Completeness

If an attorney's name is provided in the 'ATTORNEY (Name)' field, this check verifies that the associated fields for State Bar number, full address, and the party they represent ('ATTORNEY FOR') are also completed. This ensures all necessary contact and representation information is present for proper legal correspondence. Incomplete submissions will be returned for completion.

Email Address Format Validation

This check verifies that the value entered into the 'E-MAIL ADDRESS' field conforms to a standard email format (e.g., '[email protected]'). Proper formatting is essential for ensuring that electronic communications and notices from the court are successfully delivered. An invalid email address would cause communication failures and should trigger a validation error.

Party Name Consistency Across Pages

This validation confirms that the 'PLAINTIFF' and 'DEFENDANT' names are identical on page 1 and page 2. Consistent party information is critical for maintaining the integrity of the case file. A mismatch could indicate a serious clerical error, and the document should be rejected until the discrepancy is resolved.

Required Party Identification

Ensures that both the 'PLAINTIFF' and 'DEFENDANT' fields are filled in. These fields are fundamental to identifying the parties involved in the litigation. A form submitted without this information is incomplete and cannot be processed, as it's impossible to know who the legal action pertains to.

Common Mistakes in Completing DAL-010

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Incorrect or Incomplete Case Number
Users often mistype, transpose digits, or completely omit the case number in the header on both pages. This happens due to simple data entry error or haste. An incorrect case number is a critical error that will cause the court clerk to reject the filing, leading to significant delays and potentially missed deadlines.
Failing to File the Plaintiff's Pre-Conference Statement
The form requires the plaintiff to serve and file a detailed statement at least 15 days before the conference (Section 7), including claimed violations, damages, and attorney's fees. Plaintiffs may overlook this requirement, assuming they only need to show up to the conference. This failure prevents meaningful settlement discussions, can result in court sanctions, and may lead to the conference being rescheduled, prolonging the litigation.
Missing Defendant's Filing Deadlines for Reports or Evidence
Section 5 outlines strict deadlines for the defendant to file either a CASp report (15 days before conference) or evidence of corrections. Defendants often miss these deadlines due to miscalculating dates or not gathering the required documentation in time. Missing these deadlines can result in the court lifting the stay of proceedings, negating the entire benefit of the early evaluation process.
Improper Handling of Confidential CASp Reports
The form explicitly states that the CASp report must be marked 'CONFIDENTIAL' and filed with a specific cover sheet (form DAL-006). Attorneys or their staff may forget to add the confidential marking or use the wrong cover sheet, violating the confidentiality rules. This can lead to sanctions from the court and the improper disclosure of sensitive information.
Omitting the Attorney's State Bar Number
While the attorney's name and firm are provided, the State Bar number is a frequently missed field. This is a simple oversight but can cause a filing to be delayed or rejected by the clerk's office, which uses the number for verification. To avoid this, ensure all fields in the attorney information box are completed accurately.
Failure to Serve the Notice and File Proof of Service
Per Section 11, the defendant who requested the stay is responsible for serving this notice on the plaintiff and filing a proof of service with the court by specific deadlines. A common mistake is assuming the court handles all service, but in this case, the party does. Failure to serve properly can invalidate the notice and jeopardize the stay of proceedings.
Confusing Plaintiff and Defendant Fields
A simple but common clerical error is reversing the names of the plaintiff and defendant in the caption. This mistake creates confusion in the court record and can require filing an amended or corrected notice. Double-checking party names against the original complaint is essential for accuracy.
Ignoring the Joint Inspection Requirement
If the 'Joint Inspection' box is checked (Section 8), the parties are ordered to meet at the site within 30 days. Parties may fail to coordinate this meeting or misunderstand its mandatory nature, leading to non-compliance. Ignoring a direct instruction on a court notice can result in sanctions and shows a lack of good faith.
Misunderstanding Who Completes Which Sections
A party might mistakenly try to fill in the conference date and time (Section 3), which is reserved for the court. Conversely, they may fail to act on the sections that require their input, like the plaintiff's statement (Section 7) or defendant's evidence (Section 5). It is crucial to read the form as a set of instructions and deadlines to act upon, not just a static notice.
Incomplete or Incorrect Court Information
Filers may enter the wrong county, an incorrect street address, or the wrong branch name for the court. This often happens when attorneys practice in multiple jurisdictions and use information from a previous filing. This error can cause the document to be sent to the wrong courthouse, resulting in missed filing deadlines and the need to re-file.

What is the purpose of Form DAL-010?

Who needs to comply with this notice?
Both the plaintiff and the defendant in the disability access lawsuit must comply with the orders on this form. It contains mandatory deadlines and requirements for both parties.
What does a 'Stay of Proceedings' mean for my case?
A stay of proceedings means that for 90 days, most legal activities in your case are paused. This is intended to give both parties time to focus on resolving the dispute through the scheduled conference and inspection.
Do I have to attend the Early Evaluation Conference?
Yes, attendance by both the plaintiff and defendant is mandatory. The goal is to have all necessary people present to discuss and potentially settle the case.
As the defendant, what are my main responsibilities after this notice is issued?
The defendant who requested the conference must serve this notice on the plaintiff, file proof of service, and provide required documents to the court and plaintiff, such as a CASp report or evidence that violations have been corrected.
As the plaintiff, what do I need to prepare for the conference?
At least 15 days before the conference, the plaintiff must serve and file a statement that lists the specific accessibility violations, the amount of damages claimed, attorney's fees, and any settlement demand.
What is a 'Joint Inspection' and is it required?
A joint inspection is a meeting at the property to review the alleged accessibility issues. It is only required if the defendant requested it and the corresponding box is checked on the form.
Is the CASp report I submit going to be public record?
No, the CASp report is confidential. It must be marked 'CONFIDENTIAL' and can only be shared with the court, the parties, their attorneys, and others directly involved in evaluating the case for settlement.
What if my disability prevents me from attending the conference or inspection in person?
You can request an accommodation from the court to appear by phone or other means. You should use form MC-410, 'Request for Accommodations by Persons with Disabilities,' to make this request well in advance.
Who actually fills out and issues this form?
This form is not filled out by the parties to the lawsuit. It is completed and issued by the court clerk after a defendant has successfully applied for the stay and conference.
