Coos Supp. L. R. 6.021

As amended through June 11, 2024
Rule 6.021 - Settlement and Call Day
(1) Every Friday shall be call day except if that Friday is a non-judicial day, the preceding Thursday shall be call day.
(2) Call day applies to civil, domestic, show cause, and other contested proceedings, but excluding juvenile cases, termination of parent rights cases, and all criminal cases.
(3) During the week before a trial, proceeding, or hearing is scheduled to be tried, but not later than 12:00 p.m. on call day, it shall be the responsibility of every attorney who has a trial, proceeding, or hearing scheduled to be tried to notify the office of the presiding judge for cases in Coos County, and the office of the judge in Gold Beach for cases in Curry County whether the matter will be tried. Fulfillment of this requirement can be accomplished by phone or in writing as long as such communication is received by the appropriate judge's office during the week before the matter is to be tried, but no later than 12:00 p.m. on call day.
(4) If a case is scheduled to be tried before a jury and has been settled, it will be necessary for the parties settling the case to either appear and put the settlement on the record or submit the appropriate dismissal or settlement papers to the court. This shall be done at least one judicial day before the date set for trial. A conference call to put the settlement on the record will be sufficient compliance with this rule. It will be the responsibility of the parties involved to arrange and pay for such call.
(5) In any trial, proceeding, or hearing scheduled to be tried or heard by the court alone, if a case settles, it will be necessary for the parties involved to either appear in person and put the settlement on the record or submit the appropriate dismissal or settlement papers to the court. This shall be done on or before the time set for trial, proceeding, or hearing. A conference call arranged and paid for by the parties is sufficient compliance with this rule.
(6) If the case does not settle as anticipated by the parties, they shall be prepared to try the case at the time scheduled or the case shall be dismissed. If the attorney or parties inform the court a case has settled and the trial date passes, the case will not be returned to the trial docket but will be dismissed unless exceptional circumstances are shown.
