In an effort to promote uniformity between Section A and Section B of the court, effective immediately, Section B is adopting the procedures recently set forth by Section A regarding motions to continue hearings and matters resolved by consent.  If the parties wish to continue a hearing, they must notify the court, either by filing a motion, emailing or calling Judge Brown’s chambers no later than 5:00 pm on the second business day before the scheduled hearing. 

This means that for a hearing scheduled on motion day, you must notify the court of the continuance NO LATER THAN MONDAY AT 5:00 P.M.  If the court has not received notice of a continued hearing by that time, the attorney will be expected to appear at the hearing.  This deadline also applies to matters resolved by consent that you wish to remove from the court’s docket. 

Please note that even if you have talked to the Chapter 13 Trustee about your matter, or plan to talk to the Chapter 13 Trustee about your matter, YOU MUST STILL NOTIFY THE COURT BY MONDAY AT 5:00 IF THE HEARING IS RESOLVED BY CONSENT OR WILL BE CONTINUED.
