CLARIFICATION ON STIPULATIONS

Per its Omnibus Announcement of May 8, 2014, the Court is requiring all parties to file a stipulation to allow a Hearing Examiner/Standing Master to hear their case at trial.   For the Court’s convenience, please submit a single document that so stipulates.  If the parties fail to file a stipulation, the case will be reset to be heard by the incoming judge.

As the timing of the incoming judge’s appointment is, as yet, unknown, the Court will include a request for further stipulation and accompanying deadline in all orders resetting trial for a time potentially preceding the appointment.
