Calvert Cnty. Cir. Ct. Civil DCM Plan 1.5

(a) Procedure for Making Changes. A date contained in a Scheduling Order, Settlement

Conference Order or Pretrial Order may be changed by the Court, on its own initiative, or on

request of a party submitted for Court approval in the manner provided in section (b) of this

paragraph.

(b) Change of Trial, Hearing or Conference Dates. A party who desires a change of the

date and/or time of any trial, hearing or conference must file a motion, which clearly states the

reason the postponement is being requested. If a conflict in court appearance schedules is the

reason given for the request, the name and location of the other court and the case number

presenting the conflict must be included in the motion. An existing notice of trial, Scheduling

Order or Pretrial Order remains in full effect until a change has been approved in writing by the

Court. If a change of date is approved, all instructions and other provisions of the original notice

or order remain in effect unless changed by the Court.

(c) Removal from Trial Calendar. An action shall not be passed for settlement or

otherwise removed from the trial calendar except by the filing of a stipulation of dismissal, an

order in accordance with Md. Rule 2-506, or other documentation required by the Court.
