Judge Melaragno’s Procedure’s Regarding Motion Court Hearings have been updated.  Paragraph B(1)(c) has been changed to require the following procedure when filing Motions to Extend the Automatic Stay:

(c) In the event a Voluntary Petition is filed and a Motion for Extension of the Automatic Stay (“Motion to Extend Stay”) is required, the Motion to Extend Stay must be filed upon the filing of a petition to allow for a reasonable response deadline, hearing, and entry of an order before the expiration of thirty (30) day period. If extraordinary circumstances exist and a Motion to Extend Stay is needed but a hearing date within the expiration of the stay is not available, an Expedited Motion to Extend Stay must be filed.  If an expedited request is made, Court will schedule the Motion for hearing on an expedited basis.
