Los Alamos Magistrate Court Docket Lists Felony and Status Hearings Feb. 23-24
AI-generated illustration

Public calendar listings for the Los Alamos County Magistrate Court (First Judicial District) show a slate of scheduled hearings on Feb. 23–24, 2026 that include status conferences, intermediate pretrial hearings, arraignments and plea and disposition settings." That public-calendar language, preserved verbatim in the court excerpt, identifies the types of proceedings that appeared on the Magistrate Court docket for those dates.

The Magistrate Court is the primary local forum for those listings. StateCourts.org text notes that "the court system in Los Alamos County primarily consists of the Magistrate Court, which handles a variety of cases, including traffic violations, preliminary hearings for felonies, and civil cases with lower monetary claims." Because Los Alamos County does not maintain a District Court of its own, felony matters that begin with preliminary hearings in the Magistrate Court are typically referred onward to the First Judicial District Court in neighboring counties such as Santa Fe.

A key discrepancy appears between the headline for these calendar entries and the material supplied: the title asserts the docket "names several defendants," but the preserved excerpts contain no defendant names, case numbers, charges, hearing times, courtroom assignments, presiding magistrates or counsel of record. The available text truncates mid-sentence ("The docket entr"), leaving absent the specific case-level details reporters and the public rely on to confirm who is scheduled and for what charges. Also missing from the excerpts are bond conditions, juvenile or sealed-case indicators, and any recorded dispositions or next-step dates.

For records access, the excerpts supply explicit directions. The courthouse-resource text advises: "Los Alamos Magistrate Court: Visit the Magistrate Court for records related to minor offenses and initial proceedings in criminal cases. Staff can assist with record searches." It further states: "First Judicial District Court: For felony case records, visit the District Court. They provide access to documents not found online." The guidance on administrative access concludes: "Clerk's Office: The court clerk's office can be a valuable resource for accessing and obtaining copies of records. Call ahead to confirm hours and document availability."

Users of the online excerpt should note the site-level caution: "StateCourts.org is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and does not assemble or evaluate information for the purpose of supplying consumer reports." The StateCourts.org fragments also include a navigation hint - a menu listing with "Home" and "Los Alamos County" and a truncated "Tips for Accurate Searches" heading - but the full search tips were not present in the supplied text.

As of Feb. 24, 2026, the public-calendar language confirms that multiple status and felony-related preliminary events were scheduled for Feb. 23–24, 2026, at the Los Alamos Magistrate Court. Because the excerpts lack the defendant names and case-level entries referenced in the headline, the Magistrate Court records, the First Judicial District Court records for any referred felony cases, and the clerk's office remain the necessary sources to obtain and verify full docket text, party names, charges and any transfer or next-step dates.
