Any request for modification of a civil nondomestic or domestic pretrial
conference date or trial date shall be made through a written Motion
for Modification filed within 15 days of the initial order setting a date
for pretrial conference and/or trial.
Thereafter, except for exigent circumstances, the schedule may be modified
only upon filing with the Clerk a written Motion for Modification
setting forth a showing of good cause for why the schedule cannot reasonably be met
despite the diligence of the party seeking modification.
Modification requests in cases on the domestic docket made for exigent
circumstances* will be heard daily at 4:00 p.m. in Room 108, Courthouse
East, on a walk in basis. Any party seeking a postponement must arrive in Room 108 no later than 3:45 P.M. and must ensure that all other parties and/or attorneys involved in the case are present for the postponement proceeding. The Court WILL NOT entertain a postponement request unless ALL involved parties are present.
* "Exigent circumstances" means an unforeseen development occurring within 30 days of the scheduled date which prevents
compliance with the schedule.
