Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
Supeana a witness
I supeana a witness for my civil lawsuit trial. I had a process server serve the witness personally. Besides serving the witness, do I need to inform the court and the plaintiff's attorney that I supeana a witness?
I was informed by a friend that I need to put the witness on notice at the court house? Is this correct?
Additionally, what happens if the witness does not show up for court? Does the judge delay the trial? Please advise as I am in pro per and cannot afford a lawyer. Thank you.

Re: Supeana a witness
The short answer is that you probably have to disclose all potential witnesses to the other side before trial.
If the witness does not show up, tell the court immediately. Then ask the court to send out the sheriff to pick them up. Make sure that you have the proof of service with you.
