In order to be excused from attendance at a court hearing during a set period of time (i.e. vacation, sick period), counsel must file a Motion to be Excused from Court in the format prescribed by the Court. The motion must state that the attorney has no matters already scheduled for hearing before the Bankruptcy Court during the requested time period, otherwise a Motion to Continue the hearing must first be filed. Alternatively, you may indicate that you have made arrangements for a substitute attorney to appear in your absence (substitute attorney must be a member of the federal bar).
An attorney or party in interest seeking to appear telephonically at a hearing before the Court must file a motion in accordance with LBR 9074-1. Written requests must be filed no later than 3 days in advance of the scheduled hearing.
