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.
