Chapter 13 Calendar
EFFECTIVE JUNE 27, 2011 JUDGE SANDRA R. KLEIN NO LONGER ALLOWS TELEPHONIC APPEARANCES
Although Judge Sandra R. Klein previously allowed telephonic appearances, counsel repeatedly ignored the criteria for appearing telephonically, which was posted on Judge Klein’s and Tele-Court’s websites. This caused hearings to be delayed and increased the burden on Judge Klein’s already overworked staff. Therefore, effective June 27, 2011, Judge Klein will no longer allow telephonic appearances in any matter.
In most cases, Judge Klein issues tentative rulings by 2:00 p.m. the day before the hearing date. These rulings are generally available via the Court’s webPACER service. Unless the tentative ruling states explicitly that no appearance is required, appearances are required by all parties to the matter.
A moving party’s failure to attend a hearing on its motion will result in denial of the motion for failure to prosecute and may result in the issuance of an order to show cause re: sanctions. An opposing party’s failure to attend a hearing on a motion that it has opposed will be deemed to have withdrawn its opposition to the relief requested in the motion.
