L1007. Case Monitoring Notice. Scheduling Order. Trial/Hearing Scheduling.

A. This rule applies to all matters requiring a case monitoring notice pursuant to rule L205.2(b)A. When the case monitoring notice is filed, the prothonotary shall file stamp and docket the notice and immediately forward a copy to the court administrator who shall assign a judge to the case and forward the notice to that judge for further action, as follows:

(1) Mortgage foreclosure – trial will be scheduled at the next available time, but no sooner than thirty (30) days from the date of the notice.

(2) Credit card collection case – a scheduling order will be entered based on the track requested and any special scheduling concerns noted.

(3) Forfeiture – a pre-trial conference will be scheduled at the next available time but no sooner than thirty (30) days from the date of the notice.

(4) Administrative agency appeal – a conference with the court will be scheduled at the next available time but no sooner than thirty (30) days from the date of the notice.

(5) General civil complaint – a scheduling order will be entered based on the track requested and any special scheduling concerns noted.

(6) Other – as required by particular action filed.

B. A request for a revision of the scheduling order may be made by filing a motion that sets forth the reason for the request and the proposed new trial term, along with a rule L205.2(b)B. motion cover sheet. The motion shall indicate whether or not all other parties concur with the request. If the motion is uncontested, the parties shall so indicate on the motion cover sheet. If the motion is contested, the court may schedule a conference which may, upon prior arrangement, be conducted by telephone. If the only relief requested is a continuance of the pretrial conference or trial (and not an extension of the discovery deadlines), the procedure to be followed is that required by rule L216.

C. An amended scheduling order will be entered by the court, if appropriate.
