Applies to

Pre trial order

A continued dismissal case must be reset by pretrial order, which must set deadlines for joinder, pleading amendments, depositions, discovery responses, and other pretrial matters.

When emergency judicial action is needed while the Clerk’s office is closed, the case must be docketed and assigned to a Court at the earliest practical time.

A party may file a written objection stating a reasonable basis within ten days after notice of referral; the judge will promptly set it for hearing and resolution.

The recommended submission deadline is the later of the pre-trial hearing or seven days before trial.

Counsel’s other engagements do not justify postponing a preferentially set case unless good cause is shown by motion and notice filed more than ten days before trial.

A jury case not reached when all parties are ready may be carried over to a nonconflicting docket and receives preference, except that preferentially set cases are reset by the judge who granted the setting.

A continued dismissal case must be reset for the next available trial date, and no case may be continued without a subsequent trial setting.

A non-jury trial setting may be requested from the District Clerk by letter, motion, or another appropriate method.
