6-13/100.40 Failure to Appear



If an order requiring a person to appear for an examination was served by a sheriff, marshal, a person specially appointed by the court in the order, or a registered process server, and the person fails to appear, the court may issue a warrant pursuant to CCP 1993, find the person in contempt, or both.  A person who willfully makes an improper service of an order for an examination which subsequently results in the person’s arrest is guilty of a misdemeanor.  (CCP 491.160)
