Rule 202 Stacking of Cases for Trial or Hearing
When a case is scheduled for trial or an evidentiary hearing on a day certain on which another case has been previously set, all attorneys shall assume that their case will be tried. The cases will be tried in the order set. The Court will normally allow a case to be continued if the trial or hearing having immediate priority before it is not settled within three business days before the scheduled trial date. “Business days” means Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. The attorneys shall have the responsibility of ascertaining the status of cases which have priority over their case. Any case that is stacked but not tried shall be noticed by the Plaintiff's attorney (or the Movant's attorney) for rescheduling at the next available Motion Day in that county. It is the purpose of this provision to maximize the chances of a trial or evidentiary hearing date actually being utilized without causing undue hardship upon the attorneys and their clients.
