CANCELLATIONS
If your case settles, please contact my office. The mere filing of a Stipulation of
Dismissal is not adequate notice to the court that a case has been settled and
should be taken off the calendar.
ORDERS
All proposed Orders are to be uploaded into JAWS in a PDF format. Make sure all
associated parties email addresses have been inputted also into JAWS so all
parties will receive an electronic copy of the Order. If you mail in Proposed
Order’s to be signed by the Judge, you must send in sufficient copies for all parties
along with self-addressed stamped envelopes, otherwise, you will have to obtain
a copy from the Clerk.
** Do not submit Orders with a page only for the Judges signature or the page
with only the Certificate of Service.
** Do not staple envelopes and Orders together.
JURY TRIALS
Copy of Motion to set Jury Trial/Non-Jury Trial should be provided to my office via
email, crcive1@jud6.org. (When e-filed they do not come to the Judge) All cases
will be scheduled for Mediation unless Mediation has already taken place. My
Judicial Assistant will prepare the Pre-trial/Trial Orders.
Trials will only be continued if both parties stipulate to a continuance or a motion
to continue has been heard.
I do not schedule CMC’s for the sole purpose of getting on the Trial
Docket. Once you send my JA a courtesy copy of your Notice of Trial,
Case is at Issue, you will be sent the current calendars for the Trial
Docket. You can then coordinate an agreeable date with opposing

counsel. Once you notify my JA of the agreed upon date, my JA will
schedule the trial and complete the Trial Order.
WRITS
A Court Order is required before the Clerk will issue a Writ.
Writs may be considered ex parte unless notified that a hearing is required.
The Judge signs the Order directing the Clerk to issue the Writ. The Writ must be
signed by the Clerk of Court.
