New Judge Assignment Notice -- Does anyone have a tranqualizer?
I have a chapter 11 with three pieces of property. We scheduled 3 lam motions on Judge Ahart's calendar on May 11.
Now the court has posted notice that we must reschedule those hearings on Judge Ellen Carroll's calendar.
That really means start over, as Judge Carroll requires adversaries.
RATS!
Ok, take notice, if you have any hearing scheduled for the judges who are playing musical chairs, you had better take notice.
