Judge Christine A. Carringer

Judge Christine A. Carringer served as a Superior Court Judge in Solano County, California, having been appointed by Governor Jerry Brown on December 30, 2013, and sworn in February 2014. Her tenure spanned over a decade before her announced retirement in August 2025, with criminal defense attorney Wendy R. Casas appointed to fill her seat in October 2025. The available case data confirms she presided over complex civil matters, including the Suisun Marsh islands civil RICO matter reported in July 2025 and Point Buckler property auction proceedings — both of which involve real property, environmental, and civil litigation in Solano County. She also handled a disqualification motion filed by a party named Sweeney as recently as February 2025, indicating she was actively managing contested procedural disputes in the final months of her tenure. Because no ruling analyses, attorney observations, or ingested content records are available in this dataset, no patterns regarding her judicial philosophy, ruling tendencies, or courtroom preferences can be established from direct evidence. The factual record confirms she handled civil RICO, real property, and disqualification proceedings, but the outcomes and reasoning in those matters are not available here. Attorneys who appeared before her in Solano County civil matters — particularly those involving real property or complex civil litigation — would be the best source of firsthand behavioral intelligence. Given her retirement in August 2025, this profile is most relevant for historical context, understanding the transition to Judge Casas, or for any matters that remained pending under Judge Carringer's docket near the end of her tenure.

The available data confirms Judge Carringer presided over civil RICO matters and real property proceedings, including the Suisun Marsh islands litigation and Point Buckler property auction. Attorneys handling similar complex civil or real property matters in Solano County should research the docket history of those specific cases for procedural orders and rulings that may reflect her case management preferences. No direct behavioral or stylistic data is available from this dataset to guide argument framing or courtroom approach. The presence of a disqualification motion on her docket as recently as February 2025 confirms she managed contested procedural disputes. Attorneys should be prepared for rigorous procedural compliance in any matter before her court, as disqualification motions signal a contentious litigation environment that judges typically manage with strict adherence to procedural rules. Again, no outcome data is available to confirm how she ruled on that specific motion. Because Judge Carringer has announced her retirement effective August 2025 and her seat has been filled, this profile is primarily useful for understanding the historical context of her docket. Attorneys with active matters that were pending before her should confirm reassignment status with the Solano County Superior Court clerk and prepare to re-introduce case background to the incoming judge.
