Ex-parte orders received after 1500 hours or on holidays or non-business days shall be assigned to which office?

• A. Civil Process Section
• B. ARC
• C. The appropriate district office
• D. Central Receiving

Answer: (C)

Ex parte orders need to be routed to the unit that handles the district where service will occur, and that requires timely handling within the local jurisdiction. When orders arrive after 1500 hours or on holidays or non-business days, they can’t be processed in the usual daytime workflow, so they’re assigned to the appropriate district office that serves the relevant area. This ensures the order is acted on by the personnel responsible for that district, maintaining proper authority and promptness. Civil Process Section typically handles standard civil service during normal business hours, so after-hours orders aren’t kept there for action. Central Receiving is mainly a general intake point and doesn’t ensure action within the correct district. ARC serves other functions and isn’t the designated route for ex parte orders.
