Judges' Calendars

Updated calendars are posted to the website every 5 minutes between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. To view Duluth or Fergus Falls calendars, please review the appropriate judge's calendar, with attention to the date(s) of that judge's scheduled matters in Duluth or Fergus Falls.

Effective July 21, 2025, courtroom deputies will no longer notify parties by email if their scheduled hearing will be held in-person, telephonically, proceed by default, or otherwise not be called.

Call-in instructions for telephonic proceedings will be displayed on the individual calendar entry for telephonic cases on the judge’s public calendar.

Non-Chapter 13 Calendar Hearings: To determine if your proceeding will be held in-person, telephonically, proceed by default, or will not be called, click on the link for the presiding judge’s public calendar 24 hours before the scheduled hearing on the court’s website at: https://www.mnb.uscourts.gov/judges-calendars.

Chapter 13 Calendar Hearings: Starting with the July 2025 Chapter 13 calendars, the Court is imposing a strict deadline to submit changes to the Chapter 13 calendar. All requests for continuances, withdrawals of motions or objections, or other actions that would result in a change to the Chapter 13 calendar must be filed in CM/ECF by 2:00 p.m. the day before the calendar. Any request filed after 2:00 p.m. will not be processed and will remain on the calendar and be called. Unless otherwise advised by the presiding judge, the proceeding will be held in-person. To determine if your proceeding will be held in-person, telephonically, proceed by default, or will not be called, click on the link for the presiding judge’s public calendar on the court’s website at: https://www.mnb.uscourts.gov/judges-calendars. Note, because changes may be filed through 2:00 p.m. the day before a Chapter 13 Calendar, updates to the public calendar may not be available until 7:00 p.m. the day before the hearing.
