Citizens across Idaho are receiving phone calls claiming that they missed federal jury duty. The scammers go to great lengths to keep you on the phone and request personal information. Do not provide any information, pay any monies for warrants or purchase any pre-paid cards from local retailers. DON'T TRUST - VERIFY with your local jury office.
Pretrial conferences, where necessary, are set by the Court in adversary proceedings. The Court will consider scheduling a pretrial or status conference at the request of a litigant. Pretrial conferences will be conducted telephonically.
The Court will issue a pretrial order establishing the applicable trial dates with a supplemental order attached regarding exhibits and witness lists. See sample order regarding witness and exhibits.
If a pretrial conference is held, discovery deadlines will be set at that time. In cases where a pretrial conference is not required, discovery is governed by the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and Local Bankruptcy Rule 7005-1 and the terms of the order setting the action for trial.
This matter will be taken up at the pretrial conference and any deadlines will be placed in the resulting pretrial order and notice of trial. See sample pretrial order.
Contact the courtroom deputy regarding premarking exhibits. Judge Hillen requires a bench copy of all exhibits. If there are 10 or more exhbits, please place them in a three ring binder before sending them to the Judge. Also, note Local Bankruptcy Rule 5007-1. See Sample Notice of Pretrial and Sample Pretrial Order.
Jury demands or requests may be set for hearing. Jury trials will be held in accordance with Local Bankruptcy Rule 9015-1.
