Rule L206.1(a) Petition

1. All petitions, which allege facts not of record, must be verified and shall be endorsed with

a notice to plead. Petitions shall be filed with the Prothonotary before being presented to

the Court and shall include a proposed order of court for scheduling the hearing.

Personal presentment is not required. Hearing on a petition will be scheduled for a time

and date certain. The moving party shall notify opposing counsel and any unrepresented

party of the date, time and place for hearing.

2. A petition submitted to the Court by facsimile or other electronic transmission will not be

considered except in extraordinary or emergency situations. Any petition initially

submitted by facsimile or other electronic transmission must be filed of record within two

(2) business days thereafter.

3. The proposed order scheduling a hearing on the petition shall include the phrase “

hour(s) is allotted for the hearing.” Upon receipt of the scheduling order, if counsel or a

self-represented party does not believe that the allotted time is reasonably sufficient, it is

the duty of counsel or the party to contact the Court Administrator’s office, in writing, to

request a continuance in order to reschedule the time necessary for the hearing.
