TELEPHONE OR VIDEO CONFERENCES AND HEARINGS
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina
Text
(a) (b) CONFERENCES AND HEARINGS. The court may schedule any matter in a bankruptcy case, contested matter or adversary proceeding to be heard by video or telephone conference. Any party in interest affected by or involved in a case, matter or proceeding may request the court to hear the matter by telephone or video conference.
EXCHANGE OF EXHIBIT AND WITNESS LISTS.
The parties involved in video conferences and hearings shall exchange proposed witness and exhibit lists and copies of all proposed exhibits, and file such lists and exhibits with the court, at least three business days prior to a hearing or trial unless otherwise ordered by the court. The moving party in a contested matter shall identify exhibits in numerical sequence. The responding party in a contested matter shall identify exhibits in alphabetical sequence. If multiple parties are involved, the parties prior to hearing or trial shall determine an identification sequence that eliminates any duplicative sequence.
Failure to exchange timely and file proposed witness and exhibit lists and copies of proposed exhibits in accordance with this rule may result in the court barring any undisclosed witness testimony and denying the admission of any unexchanged exhibits. 74
