Verified rules for this judge's division
Cancel by Phone With Opposing Counsel on the Line — the JA Must Confirm — Division CV-I
Judge Aho: only the party who set a hearing may cancel it — by calling the Court with opposing counsel's office on the line (or e-mail copying them) — and an e-filed Notice of Cancellation is NOT sufficient; the JA must confirm.
One Phone Line Into the Hearing Room — Arrange Your Own Conference Call — Division CV-I
Judge Aho allows telephonic appearance without a motion when opposing counsel doesn't object — but only ONE line transfers into the hearing room, so multiple phone attorneys must arrange a single conference call, and the caller initiates to the JA.
Orders by E-Mail in Word — With Stamped Envelopes for Pro Se Parties — Division CV-I
Judge Aho: when everyone uses the e-Portal, orders are e-mailed in Word with a what-it's-for/who-agrees cover letter; when a pro se party doesn't, orders go in writing with copies and stamped, addressed envelopes.
Over 20 Pages Means a Binder at the Courthouse One Week Early — Division CV-I
Judge Aho: hearing materials collectively over 20 pages arrive as a binder one week before the hearing, large documents are never e-mailed (hand, U.S. mail, or overnight only), and courtesy copies are due a full week out.
