Riverside Superior Court currently lists optional form RI-CR086 for a defendant who is still participating in a court-ordered program and needs a later date to prove completion. The form asks what program and order apply, the current proof date, why more time is needed, the proposed new date, and whether a probation violation is pending. It is a request for a court decision—not an automatic extension or guaranteed electronic approval. (Riverside Superior Court form RI-CR086; Riverside local forms index.)
Check which branch applies
The form asks for the original sentence or probation order and the program requirement. It covers both summary probation and a sentence without probation. Identify every program for which you need additional time, the existing proof deadline, the provider’s expected schedule, and the reason the proposed completion date is realistic. The declaration asks you to confirm active participation and that there is no pending probation violation. (RI-CR086.)
If the requested proof date would extend beyond the current probation end date, the form separately asks whether you consent to an extension of probation. That consent is relevant to the probation branch; it is not a general condition for a person serving a sentence without probation. Submitting the form does not change the probation term. Section 1203.3 requires an open-court hearing and prosecutor notice and opportunity to be heard for a probation modification. The form separately asks you to give up personal attendance when the judge or commissioner changes the completion date and, if applicable, probation term; review that agreement with counsel. (RI-CR086; Penal Code § 1203.3.)
Read the court’s response carefully
The form’s order section allows the court to grant a request and set a new proof date, potentially with a probation-end-date change where applicable. It also provides branches for a hearing when the electronic-request limit applies and for personal appearance if probation has already been revoked. If you were terminated from the program, this form may not fit; the court lists a separate reinstatement form, RI-CR084. Check the local-form index for current availability and use the signed order—not an assumption about what the request will do—to determine your next step. (RI-CR086; Riverside local forms index.)
The possible grant order requires filing completion proof by the new date or appearing on that date if proof was not filed at least one week in advance. That is an order-compliance instruction, not a universal deadline to file the extension request. The listed form does not establish a general filing deadline or guarantee electronic disposition. Follow any date in your actual court notice or order and confirm how the court requires the request to be submitted.
