EXHIBIT F.
AGENDA GUIDELINES FOR HEARINGS
IN COMPLEX CHAPTER 11 CASES
In complex Chapter 11 cases where five or more matters are noticed for the same
hearing date, counsel for the debtor-in-possession, the party requesting the hearings, or
trustee shall file and serve an agenda describing the nature of the items set for hearing.
1.
Timing of Filing. Counsel shall file an agenda at least 24 hours prior to
the date and time of the hearing. At the same time, counsel shall also serve the agenda
(or confirm electronic service has been effectuated) upon all attorneys who have filed
papers with respect to the matters scheduled and upon the service list.
2.
Sequence of Items on Agenda. Uncontested matters should be listed
ahead of contested matters. Contested matters should be listed in the order in which they
appear on the court=s docket.
3.
Status Information. For each motion filed in the complex Chapter 11
case, each motion filed in an adversary proceeding concerning the Chapter 11 case, each
objection to claim, or application concerning the case, the agenda shall indicate the
moving party, the nature of the motion, the docket number of the pleadings, if known, the
response deadline, and the status of the matter. The status description should indicate
whether the motion is settled, going forward, whether a continuance is requested (and any
opposition to the continuance, if known) and any other pertinent information.
4.
Information for Motions in the Case. For each motion that is going
forward, or where a continuance request is not consensual, the agenda shall also list all
pleadings in support of the motion, and any objections or responses. Each pleading listed
shall identify the entity that filed the pleading and the docket number of the pleading, if
known. If any entity has not filed a responsive pleading, but has engaged in written or
oral communications with the debtor, that fact should be indicated on the agenda, as well
as the status or outcome of those communications. For an omnibus objection to claims,
responses to the objection which have been continued by consent may be listed
collectively (e.g., Athe following responses have been continued by consent:@).
5.
Changes in Agenda Information. After the filing of the agenda, counsel
shall notify judge=s chambers by phone or letter of additional related pleadings that have
been filed, and changes in the status of any agenda matter.
6.
The requirements listed above should not be construed to prohibit other
information of a procedural nature that counsel thinks would be helpful to the court.
ALL MOTIONS AND PLEADINGS SHALL CONTAIN THE HEARING DATE AND
TIME BELOW THE CASE/ADVERSARY NUMBER.
