REVISED PROCEDURES FOR SELF CALENDARING
INCLUDING INFORMATION ABOUT APPEARING IN-PERSON

Judge Albert's hearings continue to be conducted using ZoomGov audio and video.  Accordingly, in addition to all other applicable noticing requirements, and pursuant to the authority granted under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9007, Judge Albert requires that a moving party or other party noticing a ZoomGov hearing before him (i) file and serve a completed Supplemental Notice of Hearing to Be Held Remotely Using ZoomGov Audio and Video ("Supplemental Notice"), at the same time the principal notice of such hearing is to be filed and served, or (ii) incorporate conforming language into such principal notice.  The form of Supplemental Notice approved by Judge Albert for a hearing in a bankruptcy case can be found here.  The form of the Supplemental Notice approved by Judge Albert for a hearing in an adversary proceeding can be found here.  The unique ZoomGov connection information for each day's hearings before Judge Albert—which information is necessary to complete the Supplemental Notice--is posted on his public calendar, which can be located at: http://ecf-ciao.cacb.uscourts.gov/CiaoPosted/?jid=TA.

Hearing participants have the option of appearing in person for hearings before Judge Albert. If a moving party wishes to appear in person, it may elect to do so by using the Supplemental Notice or by prominently stating so under the hearing information in the caption of the motion. An opposing party who wishes to appear in person must prominently state this under the hearing information in the caption of the motion on the first document filed in response to the motion. The moving party remains responsible for providing notice of the ZoomGov hearing as specified above even if appearing in person.
