No, filing a false FTA (failure to appear) in a California small claims court is not a misdemeanor. It is a civil matter and can result in a judgment against the individual who failed to appear. Criminal charges may be pursued in extreme cases of intentional deception or fraud.
Small claims are filed in the court in your state where traffic matters are heard. The name of this court varies by state. In general, you must file your small claim in the court which has jurisdiction over the defendant's place of residence. However, if the small claim was the result of an automobile accident, the claim must be filed in the district where the accident occurred. And if the small claim was the result of a tenancy, it must be filed in the district where the rented property is located. If you have questions about the proper jurisdiction for a small claim, contact your local traffic court. They will be able to either help you or direct you to the court who can.
