Typical Monthly Schedule of Hearings

A typical monthly calendar may look like the attached schedule. However, the calendar is always subject to adjustment due to other judicial business, holidays, etc.

Self-Calendaring Matters

In January 2019, the bankruptcy court implemented the CHAP calendar system and the use of preapproved “preset” hearing dates and times. Typically, these are matters that require 28-day notice and generally will be available until 30 days before the hearing date. Click here for an overview and more detailed instructions.

Requests to Continue a Matter 

Click here for detailed information about how a party may request that a future hearing, trial, or scheduling conference be continued. Under certain circumstances a motion may be continued without a motion, continuing a trial or evidentiary hearing requires obtaining a court order, either granting a motion or approving a stipulation. Motions and stipulations must recite specific reasons for rescheduling the matter and the length of the proposed continuance.
