UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS

NOTICE TO LITIGANTS

You have been named as a defendant in an adversary proceeding, the outcome of

which could affect your bankruptcy discharge. Even if you have already received a

discharge, this is a serious matter that you should not ignore.

 Individual litigants are entitled to appear without an attorney and represent themselves in

the Bankruptcy Court. However, the rules can be quite technical and failure to comply with the

rules can have severe consequences. Before deciding to appear on your own, you should consider

consulting an attorney. If you were represented in your chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy case by

counsel, you should notify that attorney that you have been named as a defendant.

 If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible for free legal representation through

Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas (LANWT) or the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program (DVAP). To

determine if you are eligible, you must apply for legal representation at a regularly−scheduled

neighborhood legal clinic. In addition, if you were recently represented by an attorney in a chapter

7 or 13 case, you should notify that attorney immediately.

 Upon application at a neighborhood legal clinic, you will be screened for eligibility based

on your current income and the availability of any other assets to pay for legal services. If it is

determined that you are eligible, an attorney may be found who will represent you without

payment of attorneys' fees. Please note that, even if you are eligible, you may still be responsible

for the payment of costs, such as court reporter fees, deposition transcripts, court transcripts,

postage and copies.

 On the last page of this notice, you will find a list of neighborhood legal clinics, their

locations, and the times they meet. When you make contact with DVAP or LANWT, please have

your copy of the summons and complaint with you, as well as a copy of any Schedule of Assets

and Liabilities and Statement of Financial Affairs filed in your bankruptcy case.

ORDER REGARDING ADVERSARY PROCEEDINGS TRIAL SETTING AND

ALTERNATIVE SCHEDULING ORDER

 An adversary complaint is set for trial routinely at the time of its filing. Special settings or pretrial conferences

may be scheduled by contacting the appropriate Courtroom Deputy.

 TRIAL is set before the Honorable Michelle V. Larson at Courtroom #2, 14th Floor, 1100 Commerce

Street, Dallas, Texas the week of April 8, 2024. Docket call for this trial will be held on April 2, 2024 at 1:15 P.M.

at Courtroom #2, 14th Floor, 1100 Commerce Street, Dallas, Texas. A pretrial conference shall be scheduled by

the parties at least seven (7) calendar days prior to trial docket call in a complex adversary proceeding if the parties

anticipate that trial will exceed one day or if there are preliminary matters that should be addressed by the Court prior

to the commencement of trial.

PART I: INSTRUCTIONS

1. Plaintiff is responsible for ensuring that proper service is provided to each defendant. The Clerk shall issue one original summons, which

shall be conformed by the plaintiff for service on multiple defendants. Federal Bankruptcy Rule 7004(e) requires you to serve the fully

completed SUMMONS form and a copy of the COMPLAINT on each defendant within seven (7) days of issuance. In addition, the Court

also directs that this ORDER be served with the SUMMONS and COMPLAINT.

2. Plaintiff shall file a RETURN on the SUMMONS with a CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE that provides the name

and address of each party served and the manner of service.

3. If a trial setting is passed for settlement at trial docket call and no written request is filed to retain the case on the

Court's docket, an automatic Dismissal Without Prejudice shall be entered on or after four (4) weeks. The Court's

Trial Calendar is available on the court's web site at www.txnb.uscourts.gov.

PART II: GENERAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISCOVERY

1. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the disclosures required by Federal Bankruptcy Rule 7026(a) shall be made within fourteen (14)

days of the entry of a scheduling order, including the Alternative Scheduling Order contained in Part III below (which shall become effective

on the forty−sixth day following the entry of this Order.

2. Unless the parties agree or the Court orders otherwise, Federal Bankruptcy Rule 7026(f) requires that parties shall

confer to consider the nature and basis of their claims and defenses and the possibilities for a prompt settlement or

resolution of the case, to make or arrange for the disclosures required by Federal Bankruptcy Rule 7026(a)(1), to

develop a proposed discovery plan, and to submit a proposed scheduling order. The parties shall confer with each

other regarding these matters within thirty (30) days of the service of the Summons unless the Court orders otherwise.

3. During such conference, the parties may agree to waive the requirement of submitting their own proposed

scheduling order and may follow the terms and deadlines contained in the Alternative Scheduling Order set forth in

Part III below (the "Alternative Scheduling Order"). If the parties do not submit a proposed scheduling order or do

not schedule a status conference with the Court to discuss the provisions and deadlines of a scheduling order within

forty−five days of the filing of this adversary proceeding, then the parties are deemed to have consented to the terms

of the Alternative Scheduling Order.

called, shall be exchanged with opposing counsel (or pro se party) fourteen (14) days prior to Docket Call. Each party shall also file a list of
