TRIAL PART RULES

HON. ARLENE H. HAHN

1. All parties or their attorneys are to check in with the clerk upon entering the part. There will be no roll or calendar call. Cases will be placed before the judge or a court attorney for conference when both sides have appeared.

2. Service or a representative may check in with the Part for their respective cases.

3. All requests for adjournments and discontinuances will be reviewed by the court attorney or by application to the judge.

4. All attorneys must have a notice of appearance filed or appropriate papers on the cases they are appearing on.

5. If attorneys are appearing of counsel, they must submit a notice of appearance for the record.

6. 9:30 a.m. cases will be called for default at 10:30 a.m.

7. 11:00 a.m. cases will be called for default at 12:00 noon.

8. The status of all 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. cases must be reported to the court by 12:00 p.m.

9. 2:00 p.m. cases will be defaulted at 3:30 p.m. All morning cases not previously disposed of will be called at 12:00 p.m. Dismissals and defaults may be taken or adjournments may be granted on this call at the court's discretion whether or not the parties have previously checked in with the clerk. It is not necessary to be in the courtroom when defaults are called if the litigant has signed in. But all cases must be complete by the appropriate time indicated or status given to the court.

10. Once a stipulation is given to the clerk or court attorney in the part for review and allocution, it is the responsibility of the attorney to be sure the stipulation has been accepted and so ordered by the judge. Failure to return to the court within a reasonable time may result in the stipulation being rejected and the case adjourned or dismissed at the discretion of the court.
