=== Status Conference Procedures ===

ADVERSARY PROCEEDING STATUS CONFERENCE PROCEDURES JUDGE DEBORAH J. SALTZMAN 1. The court will set an initial status conference in all adversary proceedings to be held approximately 60 days after the matter is filed. Counsel appearing at the initial status conference must be trial counsel. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, parties and counsel may attend subsequent status conferences by remote appearance in accordance with Judge Saltzman’s procedures for remote appearances, which are available on the court’s website, www.cacb.uscourts.gov, by clicking on “Judges,” and then the judge’s name. 2. A thorough status report must be filed 14 days before each status conference. The status report must be prepared on the Local Rule Form F 7016- 1.STATUS.REPORT. This form is available on the court’s website, and the plaintiff must attach a copy of the form to this document as Exhibit A. Failure to file a joint status report may result in the imposition of monetary sanctions and/or the status conference being continued, and parties being ordered to redo the status report. 3. If a party does not cooperate in preparation of a joint status report, the other party should follow the procedure set forth in LBR 7016-1(a)(3) for filing a unilateral status report. 4. circumstances: A status report is not required only in the following limited Prior to the date scheduled for the status conference, the parties A. have filed, and the court has entered an order approving, a stipulation that resolves all issues raised by the adversary proceeding and provides either for dismissal of the action in its entirety or entry of judgment in the action. Defaults have been entered as to all defendants, and the plaintiff B. has filed and served a motion for default judgment prior to the date scheduled for the status conference. C. Prior to the date scheduled for the status conference. the parties have filed, and, the court has entered an order approving, a stipulation continuing the status conference to a later date (in which case a written status report must be filed not less than 14 days in advance of the continued status conference date). The court has expressly relieved the parties of the obligation to file D. a written status report. 5. Unless one of the four exceptions outlined above applies, status reports must be filed in a timely manner. Parties that fail to do so will be subject Revised 2/23/24 to a minimum sanction of $150, or such other sanctions as may be warranted under the circumstances or allowed under Local Bankruptcy Rule 7016-1(f). 6. Failure to appear for a status conference may result in a minimum sanction of $300, dismissal of the adversary proceeding for failure to prosecute or such other sanctions as may be warranted under the circumstances or allowed under Local Bankruptcy Rule 7016-1(f). 7. If a response to the complaint is not timely filed: A. The plaintiff should file a request for entry of default by the clerk. The plaintiff also may request entry of a default judgment by filing and serving (if necessary) an appropriate motion; see Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7055 and Local Bankruptcy Rule 7055-1; AND B. No later than ten days prior to the status conference, each appearing party must file a Unilateral Status Report (containing the information set forth in Sections A-E of Local Rule Form F 7016- 1.STATUS.REPORT) as required by Local Bankruptcy Rule 7016-1(a)(3). 8. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, within seven days after the status conference, the plaintiff must submit a scheduling order that complies with Local Bankruptcy Rule 7016-1(a)(4). 9. Stipulations for extensions of time are ineffective unless approved by the court. The court is likely to deny requests to extend a response deadline to a date within five days of the hearing date unless the hearing date is continued to a date which permits the court adequate time to consider the papers. 10. A copy of these instructions—including Exhibit A, Local Rule Form F 7016-1.STATUS.REPORT—must be attached to every copy of the complaint served upon a party, and the affidavit of service must state that these instructions were served along with a copy of the summons and complaint. Revised 2/23/24 EXHIBIT A (The plaintiff shall attach a copy of Local Rule Form F 7016-1.STATUS.REPORT here) Revised 2/23/24

=== Trial Procedures Supplement to Local Rules ===

TRIAL PROCEDURES SUPPLEMENT TO LOCAL RULES JUDGE DEBORAH J. SALTZMAN I. TRIAL BRIEFS Unless otherwise ordered by the court, trial briefs are required. Trial briefs must be filed at least fourteen (14) calendar days before trial. Judge’s copies of the trial briefs should be delivered to Judge Saltzman’s chambers on the same date. The trial brief should contain (1) a concise statement of the facts of the case; (2) a short statement of any relevant procedural history; (3) a summary of the points of law involved with supporting authorities; (4) a summary of the disputed issues of fact and the testimony that such party plans to introduce in an effort to prove its version of the disputed facts, and (5) a brief discussion of any anticipated evidentiary issues or other problems that the party believes are likely to arise at trial. Unless specifically requested by the court, no additional trial briefs will be considered. II. PRE-TRIAL ORDER Unless otherwise ordered by the court, the parties must prepare and file a written joint pre-trial order pursuant to Local Bankruptcy Rule (“LBR”) 7016-1(b) through (f) not later than fourteen (14) calendar days before the pretrial conference set by the court. A judge’s copy should be delivered to chambers the same day. The pre-trial order must contain the statements and information required by LBR 7016-1(b)(2). In conjunction with the pre-trial order, the parties must meet and confer to attempt to stipulate to the authenticity and possible admissibility (without the necessity for live testimony) of the documents that have been exchanged. The court expects the parties to make good faith efforts to resolve all evidentiary issues. III. PRESENTATION OF DIRECT TESTIMONY BY DECLARATION The purpose of this procedure is to facilitate pretrial preparation and to streamline the adducement of direct testimony in trial so as to reduce trial time without sacrificing due process and a fair trial. A. Except as provided herein, each party must present the direct testimony of all of its witnesses, including expert witnesses, through the declarations of said witnesses, under penalty of perjury, otherwise admissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence. See, e.g., Lee-Benner v. Gergely (In re Gergely), 110 F.3d 1448, 1452 (9 Cir. 1997); Adair v. Sunwest Bank (In re Adair), 965 F.2d 777, 779-80 (9 direct testimony that the witness would give as though questions were propounded in the usual fashion. Each statement of fact or opinion must be separately, sequentially numbered and must contain only matters that are admissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence (e.g., avoiding redundancies, hearsay, and other objectionable statements). Cir. 1992). Each declaration must set forth the th th Page 1 of 4 Effective 8/27/14 B. All cross-examination, rebuttal, surrebuttal and appropriate impeachment evidence must be given by live testimony. The only oral testimony that may be offered at trial by a party through its own witnesses will be STRICTLY limited to rebuttal testimony or such additional testimony on matters relevant to the outcome of the proceeding as may be specifically requested by the court at the time of trial. C. If a witness refers in the declaration to an exhibit to be admitted into evidence, the exhibit must be identified in the declaration by exhibit number or letter. The exhibit itself need not be attached to the witness’s declaration, but must be included in the exhibit binder or notebook and properly marked for identification. Unless the parties stipulate to the admittance of an exhibit, the foundation for admittance of exhibits (other than for impeachment or rebuttal purposes) must be established in the declaration. Exhibits referenced in any declaration should be offered into evidence when the declaration is offered into evidence. D. If a party is unable to obtain a declaration of a witness (such as, for example, in the case of a hostile witness), counsel for that party must file (by the applicable deadline for the filing of the witness’ declaration) a declaration stating the name of the witness and a detailed summary of the expected testimony and why counsel was unable to obtain the witness’ declaration. Failure to make every reasonable effort to obtain the declaration of any witness will result in the exclusion of any oral testimony of such witness by the party attempting to offer such testimony. E. A party may present the direct testimony of a witness in the form of a transcript of a deposition of the witness, in which event the party must submit a declaration authenticating the excerpts from the transcript that contain the testimony that the party wishes to introduce (only the portions of the transcript that the party wishes to introduce should be attached to the declaration). F. The declaration of a witness for a party will be admissible at trial, subject to timely objections, only if the declarant is present at trial and subject to cross-examination. IV. EXHIBITS A. Three binders or notebooks containing all exhibits must be submitted not later than seven (7) business days prior to the commencement of the trial. All exhibits must be marked for identification prior to the commencement of the trial. Each exhibit must be marked for identification at the bottom (right) of the first page of the exhibit. Unless the parties agree upon a unified, joint set of exhibits, the plaintiff’s exhibits must be marked in numerical order, and the defendant’s exhibits must be marked in alphabetical order (e.g., Plaintiff’s Exhibit 1, etc., Defendant’s Exhibit A, etc.). If the parties agree on a unified, joint set of exhibits, the exhibits must be marked in numerical order. B. All exhibits must be assembled in a binder or notebook. Each such binder or notebook must include as its first page an exhibit register. A sample exhibit register may be obtained from the court recorder or from the clerk’s office and must be procured sufficiently in advance of the trial date to permit the completed register to be available at the commencement of trial. C. At the commencement of trial, the parties must be prepared to stipulate into evidence all exhibits that are admissible for at least one purpose. Bona-fide objections may be reserved, with the issue of admissibility deferred, until the exhibit is offered into evidence. Page 2 of 4 Effective 8/27/14 V. DEADLINES FOR SUBMISSION OF DECLARATION, EXHIBITS AND OBJECTIONS A. Plaintiff must submit to opposing counsel all declarations and exhibits comprising the plaintiff’s case in chief not later than thirty (30) days before the trial date. B. Defendant must submit to opposing counsel all declarations and exhibits comprising the defendant’s case, together with any written objections to the admission of any of Plaintiff’s exhibits or to the testimony contained in any of Plaintiff’s witness declarations, not later than twenty-one (21) days before the trial date. C. Plaintiff must submit to opposing counsel any written objections to the admission of any of Defendant’s exhibits or to the testimony contained in any of Defendant’s witness declarations not later than fourteen (14) days before the trial date. D. All witness declarations and exhibits, together with any written objections to the admission of any of the exhibits or to any of the declarations or any portion thereof, must be lodged with the Courtroom Deputy at least seven (7) days before the trial date. Each party must lodge sufficient copies of its exhibit binder, containing the exhibit register and all exhibits, for all parties, the witness stand, the court recorder, and the judge. E. At trial, each party must also have copies of any exhibits used for impeachment or rebuttal for the opposing party, witnesses and the court. F. Evidentiary objections will be adjudicated at the time a witness declaration or exhibit is offered into evidence. Any evidentiary objections to testimony contained in a written declaration that is not raised in a written objection filed within the applicable time limit set forth above shall be deemed waived. G. NO OTHER DECLARATIONS WILL BE ALLOWED. The only additional evidence that a party may offer at trial is true rebuttal evidence. If the court concludes that testimony that a party seeks to offer should more accurately be characterized as direct testimony that as rebuttal evidence, that testimony will be excluded or, if already provided, such testimony will be stricken, if it was not set forth in a timely-filed declaration submitted by such party. VI. EXCERPTS FROM DISCOVERY DOCUMENTS A. Deposition Transcripts. Each party intending to offer any evidence by way of deposition testimony pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 32, other than for impeachment or rebuttal, must lodge with the clerk the original deposition transcript, together with a copy of the transcript or pages from the transcript to be offered, marked to reflect the portions to be offered, pursuant to LBR 7030-1(b) not later than the applicable deadline for submission of declarations, exhibits and objections set forth in Section V. Transcripts may be bound on the left side and do not have to be hole-punched or blue-backed. B. Other Discovery Documents. Excerpts from interrogatories, requests for admissions, or other discovery documents to be offered at trial, other than those to be used for impeachment or rebuttal, must be filed pursuant to LBR 7026-2(c) not later than the applicable deadline for submission of declarations, exhibits and objections set forth in Section V. Page 3 of 4 Effective 8/27/14 VII. CONTINUANCE/POSTPONEMENT OF TRIAL DATE Trials will be commenced promptly at the scheduled date and time. Trial dates are not continued or vacated absent good cause, on noticed motion, supported by competent evidence. The parties will be contacted by either of Judge Saltzman’s law clerks as to whether the continuance has been granted or denied. Parties are further advised that during the week prior to trial, the court may move the starting time or day. The Courtroom Deputy will advise the parties of any such change by telephone. All parties are cautioned to adjust their schedules accordingly. The court expects counsel and witnesses to be available on 2-3 hours telephone notice for the remainder of the week. VIII. SETTLEMENT/COMPLIANCE Not later than five (5) calendar days before the trial date, counsel for Plaintiff must telephone the Courtroom Deputy at (213-894-0995) to report (a) whether the parties intend to go forward with trial as scheduled; (b) if settlement is likely; (c) whether the time reserved for trial is realistic; and (d) any other relevant information. Stipulations for settlement must be in writing, executed by each party or their counsel, and delivered to chambers before the date of trial. If time constraints prevent reducing a settlement to writing prior to trial, all the parties, or their counsel, must (a) advise chambers of the settlement and (b) appear at the time set for trial to recite the stipulation on the record. Failure to comply with this order may result in the imposition of sanctions, including but not limited to, removal from the trial calendar or the exclusion of evidence (i.e., witnesses who were not timely identified or exhibits which were not timely submitted).

=== Telephonic Appearance Procedures ===

Judge Deborah J. Saltzman’s Procedures for Remote Appearances Hearings before Judge Saltzman may be made in person or by remote or phone connection through ZoomGov. ALL ATTORNEYS AND PARTIES MUST REGISTER APPEARANCES NO LATER THAN 12:00 NOON THE DAY BEFORE THE HEARING BY EMAIL AS FOLLOWS: [email protected] To: Subject: Registration – [Zoom or Phone or In Person] Body: Hearing date and time Calendar number on which you are appearing Debtor name and case number Adversary proceeding name and number (if applicable) Name of the party/client appearing Attorney’s full name and SBN Phone number (if participating by phone, the number from which you will call) If any client or non-attorney representative will be observing, that person’s full name, role, and phone number IF YOU DO NOT REGISTER, YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO ATTEND THE HEARING Registered parties in interest may connect to the ZoomGov video and audio feeds, free of charge. Participation by ZoomGov video and audio may be via personal computer (equipped with camera, microphone and speaker), a handheld mobile device (such as a tablet, iPhone, or Android phone), or by audio only using a telephone (standard telephone charges may apply). Registered observers and members of the public may connect remotely by telephone to the audio feed only (standard telephone charges may apply). Neither a Zoom nor a ZoomGov account is necessary to participate. The audio portion of each hearing will be recorded electronically by the court and constitutes its official record. ZoomGov video and audio connection information for each hearing will be provided on Judge Saltzman's publicly posted hearing calendar, which may be viewed online at: http://ecf- ciao.cacb.uscourts.gov/CiaoPosted/?jid=DS Tips for a More Successful ZoomGov Court Experience 1. Test the video and audio capabilities of your computer or mobile device in advance of the hearing (i.e., at least one day in advance). • Click on the ZoomGov meeting link posting for the hearing and/or check your video and audio using the ZoomGov app. 2. If you intend to speak at the hearing, please find a quiet place from which to participate. 3. If you are connecting to the hearing using a wireless device, situate yourself in a location with a strong wireless signal. 4. Unless and until it is your turn to speak, please mute your audio to minimize background noise. • If connected to ZoomGov audio by telephone, you can mute or unmute your connection by pressing *6 on your phone. 5. When you first speak—and each time you speak after someone else has spoken— please say your name. This may seem awkward but is essential to making a good court record. The only part of the hearing being recorded is the audio. If a transcript is requested, it is sometimes difficult for the transcriber to know who is speaking. 6. If you are participating by video, try to avoid having a window or bright background behind you (a bright background can make you appear on video as a silhouette or shadow). If you cannot avoid the bright background, try using a desk lamp or other light source to brighten your face. 7. If you are participating by video using a personal computer, you may separately connect to the audio feed by telephone (for improved audio) using the call-in information provided for the hearing. • If you do this, please connect to the video feed first. In the ZoomGov app, you will be assigned a Participant Code. Use this code to associate your video and audio feeds. 8. If available, a headset-microphone often provides better sound quality for listening and speaking. 9. Participants and members of the public should at all times remember that although conducted remotely, these hearings are official court proceedings, and individuals should act accordingly. • If video is enabled, please wear suitable attire. A suit isn’t necessary, but “business casual” would be appropriate. • ZoomGov permits the use of virtual backgrounds to safeguard your privacy. If you choose to use a virtual background, please avoid backgrounds that are offensive or distracting. 10. ZoomGov video participants are permitted to specify a display name. If using video, please specify your complete name to assist the court in creating a record of the proceedings.
