Requested excusal from jury duty due to high risk pregnancy and it wasn’t excused?
About two months ago, I received a jury summons notification for Los Angeles Superior court. I filled it out explaining that I would be nine months pregnant at the time of jury service with a high risk pregnancy and mailed it back thinking that was the end of it. Now, I received a notification in the mail that the court has not received my “written response as required by law” — I’m not even sure what that means since I did fill out the original form. The notice says “failure to respond to this notice may cause you to receive a failure to appear notice.”
I have since given birth early and I am physically recovering, so there’s no way I’m able to serve at this time, but when I’ve tried to call the courthouse/phone number on the most recent notification I received, I get nowhere. I’m just frustrated at this point, also considering I just moved to Los Angeles a few years ago and this is already my second jury summons. Is it safe to ignore this at this point? I feel like I’ve done everything I can and I’m getting nowhere.
