Rule 19. Prior Dismissed Orders Not Considered

A judicial officer must not consider the number of times a protective order has been dismissed as a basis for denying a request for protective relief. Each time a plaintiff petitions for protective relief, the judicial officer must make an independent determination whether there is reasonable cause to issue a protective order under the applicable statute. See A.R.S. §§ 13-3602(E), 12-1809(E) and 12-1810(E).
