As amended through June 18, 2024

Rule 8 - Special Ejectment Sessions

8.1 Special Summary Ejectment Sessions: In response to an increase in summary ejectment magistrate appeals, special summary ejectment sessions are scheduled during various days over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and during statewide District Court Judges' Conference weeks, when normal court schedules are suspended. Calendars for these sessions are posted by the Friday preceding the session and notices are sent out by the Court to parties/counsel at least four weeks in advance. Calendar call is typically scheduled at 9:00 AM for all cases scheduled for the special summary ejectment session. Parties/counsel are expected to arrive promptly for calendar call and be prepared for trial that same day. Failure to appear when a case is called by the presiding judge may result in dismissal or entry of an adverse judgment against the absent party. Refer to Rule 4 for details regarding Trial Calendars.
