Rule CV 7. Special Judge Assignments
The following matters shall be presented only to the CS Special Judge(s):
1. Default Judgments (Where No Motion is Required). Default judgments, not involving publication service, where no motion is required and Civil Warrants pursuant to asset hearings shall be presented to the CS Special Judge's for entry by leaving the court file with the prepared judgment or order with the clerk. Counsel seeking default judgments based on publication service must appear in person with the court file to comply with Rule 16 of the Supreme Court Rules for the District Courts.
The Judge will reject all default judgments submitted with incorrect court files, with files showing pleadings making default inappropriate, or without proof of service.
A Motion or Petition to Vacate Default Judgment shall be presented to the Special Judge who signed the Journal Entry.
2. Friendly Suits. Hearings on friendly suits shall be arranged by contacting clerks in CS or CJ judge's office as appropriate. Assigned judges may proceed with in person hearings, telephonic or video hearings for approval of settlements with minors in excess of $1000 or may allow an alternate record to be made pursuant to 12 O.S. Sec. 83 by Interrogatories, Affidavits and/or Depositions upon Written Questions where the parties agree to an alternate record. Documents to be filed with the Court Clerk to request or approve a friendly suit should exclude personal identifiers wherever possible and use of partially redacted social security numbers is advisable, noting however depository entities may require a date of birth or other personal identifiers in court orders to establish the minor's trust account.
Withdrawals from trust account requests will be assigned to a special judge by administrative order.
