Form of Pleadings and ECF instructions for Matters Scheduled Prior to June 1, 2020
Given the transition to telephonic hearings in most matters, there are questions as to how hearings should be noticed.
If a matter was originally set for a physical hearing location, and will now be conducted telephonically per Court order, there is no need to issue a new notice.
For non- evidentiary matters scheduled prior to June 1, 2020 that have not yet been noticed:
* Hearings should be set in ECF using the correct physical location for the assigned judge.
* The hearing information listed in the upper right-hand corner of the pleading, per LBR 9013-1(d)(1)(B), should state “telephonic” as the location
* A Notice of Motion, per LBR 9013-1(c), should state the place of hearing as “telephonic” and include the dial in information for the specific judge.
For trials and evidentiary hearings scheduled prior to June 1, 2020: contact the assigned judge’s chambers
