granted herein; and after due deliberation and sufficient cause appearing therefor,

15. In addition, further to Bankruptcy Local Rule 9013-3(c), transmission of the 

Notification of Electronic Filing by ECF to a Registered Participant (as defined in the Local Bankruptcy 

Rules) who has consented to electronic service shall constitute effective service on that Registered

SCHEDULING OF HEARINGS

19. The Court will schedule, in consultation with the Debtors, periodic “open 

calendar” hearings (“Omnibus Hearings”) at which Motions and other requests for relief shall be heard. 

Upon scheduling, the Claims and Noticing Agent shall post the dates of the Omnibus Hearings on the 

Case Website. The Court will schedule additional Omnibus Hearings on request of the Debtors, and, 

upon scheduling, the Claims and Noticing Agent shall post the date of the Omnibus Hearing on the Case 

Website. Entities may contact the Claims and Noticing Agent for information concerning all scheduled 

Omnibus Hearings.

20. Initial scheduling conferences for adversary proceedings shall be scheduled on 

Omnibus Hearing dates; provided that initial scheduling conferences scheduled in connection with 

adversary proceedings involving the Debtors shall be set on a date that is at least thirty (30) days after 

the filing of the complaint.

21. Every complaint initiating an adversary proceeding and every notice of removal 

pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9027 shall be accompanied by a completed Adversary Proceeding Cover 

Sheet in a form prescribed by the Clerk, as required by Bankruptcy Local Rule 7003-1. Adversary 

Proceeding Cover Sheets shall be available in the Office of the Bankruptcy Clerk and on the Court’s 

website at www.canb.uscourts.gov. Except as otherwise ordered, motions in adversary proceedings shall 

be set for briefing on the schedule prescribed in Bankruptcy Local Rule 7007-1. Hearings on Motions 

filed by a non-Debtor must be scheduled for an Omnibus Hearing except as permitted under the 

Expedited Relief Procedures (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a hearing on Motions 

filed by a non-Debtor may thereafter be rescheduled by stipulation with the Debtors for a date other than 

an Omnibus Hearing date through coordination with the Court.

22. If a Document is filed by a non-Debtor party and purports to set a hearing date 

inconsistent with the Case Management Procedures, the Court shall reschedule the hearing through a 

minute order on the Docket, for the first available Omnibus Hearing date after the applicable notice 

period has expired and all applicable deadlines to oppose or reply to the Document shall apply to the 

new hearing date.

23. If a movant or applicant other than the Debtors determines that a motion or 

application requires emergency or expedited relief, the movant or applicant shall telephonically contact 

the Debtors’ attorneys requesting that the motion or application be considered on an expedited basis (the 

“Expedited Relief Procedures”). If the Debtors disagree with the movant or applicant’s determination 

regarding the emergency or expedited nature of the relief requested, the movant or applicant shall (i) 

inform the Court of the disagreement by telephone and thereafter (ii) arrange for a telephonic chambers 

conference for the Court to determine whether an expedited hearing is necessary. If the Court determines 

expedited consideration is necessary, it may set an expedited hearing and any necessary expedited 

briefing schedule. The parties shall otherwise comply with Judge Montali’s Practices and Procedures, 

available at the Court’s website: (http://www.canb.uscourts.gov/procedure/montali/judge-montalispractices-and-procedures).

24. If a Motion to extend the time to take any action is filed consistent with this Order 

before the expiration of the period prescribed by the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the 

Bankruptcy Local Rules, or the provisions of any order entered by this Court, the time shall automatically 

be extended until the Court acts on the Motion, without the necessity for the entry of a bridge order.

SCHEDULE FOR FILING DOCUMENTS

25. Documents filed in these Chapter 11 Cases shall follow the briefing schedules set 

forth in Bankruptcy Local Rule 9014-1(c), except as expressly modified herein. Unless ordered by the 

Court, the objection deadline for all Motions shall be 4:00 p.m. (Prevailing Pacific Time). Motions in 

adversary proceedings shall follow the briefing schedule set forth in Bankruptcy Local Rule 7007-1. 

The scheduled hearing date for all Motions shall be an Omnibus Hearing date unless otherwise 

authorized by the Court.

26. Notwithstanding section 362(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, if a motion for relief 

from the automatic stay (a “Stay Relief Motion”) is scheduled, in accordance with this Order, for, or 

adjourned to, a hearing date that falls on or after the thirtieth (30th) day after the filing of the Stay Relief 

Motion, the moving party shall be deemed to have consented to the continuation of the automatic stay 

in effect pending the conclusion of, or as a result of, a final hearing and determination under section

the contrary, in accordance with section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, Stay Relief Motions shall be 

noticed for consideration on the Omnibus Hearing Date that is at least twenty-one (21) days after the 

Stay Relief Motion is filed and notice thereof is served upon the Debtors. Unless otherwise ordered by 

the Court, the objection deadline with respect thereto shall be 4:00 p.m. (Prevailing Pacific Time) on the 

date that is seven (7) calendar days prior to the applicable hearing.

28. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, Replies, if any, shall be filed with the 

Court and served in accordance with these Case Management Procedures on or before 12:00 p.m. 

(Prevailing Pacific Time) on the day that is two (2) business days prior to the date of the applicable 

hearing (the “Reply Deadline”).

29. Sur-replies shall be not permitted or considered unless authorized by the Court.

30. Submission of orders shall follow the procedures set forth in Bankruptcy Local 

Rule 9021-1(c) and the San Francisco Division’s procedures for uploading orders.

HEARING PROCEDURES

31. The initial hearing on all Motions will not be an evidentiary hearing, unless the 

Court otherwise directs in advance of the hearing. If, upon or after the filing of a Motion, any party 

seeks an evidentiary hearing, such party must confer with all other parties involved to determine whether 

there is agreement that an evidentiary hearing is appropriate. In the absence of an agreement, the Court 

will consider requests for an evidentiary hearing by conference call. The Court may, upon advance 

request and for cause shown, order that the initial hearing on a Motion will be an evidentiary hearing. 

Generally, interests of judicial economy and the absence of disputed material issues of fact will 

collectively suggest that a non-evidentiary hearing is appropriate on Motions.

32. Concurrently with any determination that an evidentiary hearing is necessary or 

desirable, Chambers must be notified with an estimate of expected trial time; parties may be informed 

that a different return date is necessary if the available time on the requested day is insufficient. Any

Motion noticed as an evidentiary hearing must prominently state, just below the return date in the upper 

right-hand corner, “Evidentiary Hearing Requested.”

33. A request for relief in a Motion may be granted without a hearing provided that, 

after the passage of the objection deadline; the movant requests relief by default by following the 

procedures set forth in B.L.R. 9014-1(b)(4). If the Court does not grant the relief, the Motion will be 

heard at the originally scheduled hearing; provided that if the Court does not grant the relief requested 

in a Motion without a hearing, such action shall not constitute an extension of the objection deadline 

related thereto, unless otherwise agreed between the Debtors and the party seeking relief.

34. In the event a matter is properly noticed for hearing and the parties reach 

agreement on a settlement of the dispute prior to the final hearing, the parties may announce the 

settlement at the scheduled hearing. In the event the Court determines that the notice of the dispute and 

the hearing is adequate notice of the effects of the settlement (i.e., that the terms of the settlement are not 

materially different from what parties in interest could have expected if the dispute were fully litigated), 

the Court may approve the settlement at the hearing without further notice of the terms of the settlement. 

In the event the Court determines that additional or supplemental notice is required, the Debtors shall 

serve such notice in accordance with the Case Management Procedures set forth herein and a hearing to 

consider such settlement shall be on the next hearing day deemed appropriate by the Court.

FORM OF DOCUMENTS

35. A “Notice of Hearing” for every Motion shall be filed in accordance with

Bankruptcy Local Rule 9013-1(b)(3) and shall include the following: (i) the title of the Motion; (ii) the 

parties upon whom any Opposition to the Motion is required to be served; (iii) the date and time of the 

applicable objection deadline; (iv) the date of the Omnibus Hearing at which the Motion shall be 

considered by the Court; and (v) a statement that the relief requested may be granted without a hearing 

if no Opposition is timely filed and served in accordance with these Case Management Procedures.

36. The applicable objection deadline shall appear below the hearing date on every 

Notice of Hearing and each Motion and each Opposition thereto.

37. Nothing in these Case Management Procedures shall prejudice the right of any 

party to move the Court to request relief under section 107(b) of the Bankruptcy Code to protect any

entity with respect to a trade secret or confidential research, development, or commercial information or 

to protect a person with respect to scandalous or defamatory matter contained in a Document filed in 

these Chapter 11 Cases.

DISCOVERY AND EVIDENCE

38. Expedited discovery in contested matters in these Chapter 11 Cases is authorized 

without further Court order. This authorization is without prejudice to the rights of any party or witness 

to seek protective order relief if the time to respond or appear, or the burden of the requested discovery, 

is unreasonable or for other cause shown. Parties are expected to work informally and cooperatively to 

effect any necessary discovery, with due recognition of the time exigencies that are typical in bankruptcy 

litigation. Document requests by letter, facsimile (if available), or e-mail (if available) are authorized.

39. Parties are required in the first instance to resolve discovery and due diligence 

disputes by negotiation in good faith and, if necessary, a conference call with the Court without 

submission of papers. Such calls will not be scheduled until and unless the parties have first tried and 

failed to resolve the disputed matters themselves. Parties requesting a conference call shall do so by 

written request to Chambers with a description of the underlying dispute. Unless otherwise ordered by 

the Court, no Motion with respect to a discovery or due diligence dispute may be filed unless the parties 

have first conferred in good faith to resolve it and also sought to resolve the matter by conference call 

with the Court.

40. Except as otherwise ordered by the Court for cause shown before the hearing, all 

direct testimony in contested matters in these Chapter 11 Cases, other than duly designated deposition 

testimony and testimony by witnesses not under the party’s reasonable control, must be submitted by 

affidavit, and all cross-examination and subsequent examination will be taken live. Unless otherwise 

ordered by the Court, all affidavits and any designated testimony must be submitted to the adversary and 

the Court no later than three (3) full business days before the hearing.

41. Parties may, if they are so advised, introduce the testimony of witnesses who 

reasonably can be expected not to be cooperative (such as employees or agents of adversaries) by calling 

them as adverse witnesses and taking their testimony on “adverse direct.” The Court will generally 

regard taking direct testimony “live” as appropriate if, but only if, matters of credibility are important in

the particular case, and credibility on direct, as well as after cross-examination, is at issue; the Court 

generally will regard “live” direct as inappropriate where the bulk of the testimony is historical or 

involves more than minimal discussion of accounting information or other financial or numerical 

analysis. In any instances where direct testimony will proceed “live,” the proponent(s) of such testimony 

will be responsible for so advising Chambers in advance and taking such steps (e.g., subpoenas) as are 

necessary to secure the attendance of any non-cooperating witnesses. The parties shall also meet and 

confer to agree on the admissibility of as many proposed exhibits as possible and shall submit a joint 

exhibit book to Chambers no later than three (3) business days before the hearing.

MISCELLANEOUS

42. By approximately 12:00 p.m. (Prevailing Pacific Time) on the day before a 

scheduled hearing, the Debtors shall file a letter (the “Agenda Letter”) setting forth each matter to be 

heard at the hearing (the letter may be updated after the initial submission if necessary) and shall deliver 

a copy of the letter to Chambers, by e-mail or hand delivery, and serve the letter(s), by e-mail or Notice 

of Electronic Filing: (i) the U.S. Trustee; (iii) counsel for any Official Committee; and (iv) any parties 

filing Documents to be heard at the hearing; provided that an Agenda Letter shall not be required where 

the Debtors have less than forty-eight (48) hours’ notice of a hearing.

43. Matters listed on the Agenda Letter shall be limited to matters of substance and 

shall not include administrative filings such as notices of appearance and affidavits of service.

44. If a party desires to participate in a hearing by telephone, such party must arrange 

such telephonic participation with Court Call, adhering to the San Francisco Division’s Procedures for 

Appearances by Telephone and this Court’s Practices and Procedures. Court staff approval is not 

required for telephonic appearances in these Chapter 11 Cases, and the 4:00 p.m. telephone reservation 

deadline is waived.

45. Any party in interest may seek to amend the Case Management Procedures from 

time to time throughout these Chapter 11 Cases and shall present such amendments to the Court by 

notice of presentment in accordance with this Order.

Agent shall serve a printed copy of this Order upon all parties on the Master Service List and post a copy

48. To the extent the Case Management Procedures conflict with the Bankruptcy 

Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, or the Bankruptcy Local Rules, the Case Management Procedures shall

or relating to the implementation of this Order.

accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Bankruptcy Local Rules;

provided that (i) service by facsimile by such parties shall not be effective; (ii) parties are authorized to

serve Rule 2002 Parties by e-mail; provided that if a party entitled to notice of a Motion does not have

an e-mail address or an e-mail address is not available, the party shall be served by U.S. mail,

overnight delivery, facsimile (if agreed by such party), or hand delivery, the choice of the foregoing

being in the sole discretion of the serving party in accordance with the Case Management Procedures;

and (iii) any other party may agree to accept service by e-mail.

10. If service is authorized and completed by e-mail, paper copies of the Documents

shall not be required to be served on interested parties by any other method and e-mail service shall

satisfy the Court’s rules for service.

11. The time of service, regardless of where service is effected, is deemed to have

occurred based on prevailing Pacific Time.

12. Service by e-mail shall be effective as of the date and time the Document is sent

to the e-mail address provided by a party.

13. All Documents served by e-mail shall include the entire Document, including

the proposed form(s) of order and any exhibits, attachments, and other relevant materials, in “.pdf”

format, readable by Adobe Acrobat or an equivalent program. All service by e-mail shall include

of its size, technical difficulties, or otherwise), the party serving the Document may, in its sole

discretion (i) serve the entire Document by U.S. Mail or overnight delivery, including the proposed

form(s) of order and any exhibits, attachments, and other relevant materials or (ii) e-mail the party

being served and include a notation that the Document cannot be attached and will be (a) mailed if

requested or (b) posted on any website maintained in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases.

14. The Rule 2002 Parties shall be deemed to have consented to service by e-mail or

ECF, and such party shall thereby be served in accordance with the Case Management Procedures.

15. In addition, further to Bankruptcy Local Rule 9013-3(c), transmission of the

Notification of Electronic Filing by ECF to a Registered Participant (as defined in the Local

Bankruptcy Rules) who has consented to electronic service shall constitute effective service on that

Registered Participant of all papers filed in these Chapter 11 Cases, except that Documents filed in

adversary proceedings shall be served in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules,

and the Bankruptcy Local Rules.

REQUESTING NOTICE

16. Any creditor, equity interest holder, or party in interest that wishes to receive

notice in these cases and is not otherwise entitled to notice pursuant to these Case Management

Procedures shall file a notice of appearance and request for service of papers in accordance with

Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 9010(b) (a “Notice of Appearance”).

17. A Notice of Appearance shall include the following information: (i) the party’s

name; (ii) the name of its counsel, if applicable; (iii) an e-mail address at which the requesting party

consents to service of all Documents; and (iv) a physical address by which the requesting party may be

served by U.S. mail, hand delivery, and overnight delivery. Notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 2002

and 9010(b), no request for service filed in these cases shall have any effect unless the foregoing

requirements are satisfied.

18. Any individual or entity filing a Notice of Appearance who does not maintain

and cannot practicably obtain an e-mail address must include in its Notice of Appearance a

overnight delivery, or facsimile, in the sole discretion of the serving party in accordance with the Case

Management Procedures.

SCHEDULING OF HEARINGS

19. The Court will schedule, in consultation with the Debtors, periodic “open

calendar” hearings (“Omnibus Hearings”) at which Motions and other requests for relief shall be

heard. Upon scheduling, the Claims and Noticing Agent shall post the dates of the Omnibus Hearings

on the Case Website. The Court will schedule additional Omnibus Hearings on request of the Debtors,

and, upon scheduling, the Claims and Noticing Agent shall post the date of the Omnibus Hearing on

the Case Website. Entities may contact the Claims and Noticing Agent for information concerning all

scheduled Omnibus Hearings.

20. Initial scheduling conferences for adversary proceedings shall be scheduled on

Omnibus Hearing dates; provided that initial scheduling conferences scheduled in connection with

adversary proceedings involving the Debtors shall be set on a date that is at least thirty (30) days after

the filing of the complaint.

21. Every complaint initiating an adversary proceeding and every notice of removal

pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9027 shall be accompanied by a completed Adversary Proceeding Cover

Sheet in a form prescribed by the Clerk, as required by Bankruptcy Local Rule 7003-1. Adversary

Proceeding Cover Sheets shall be available in the Office of the Bankruptcy Clerk and on the Court’s

website at www.canb.uscourts.gov. Except as otherwise ordered, motions in adversary proceedings

shall be set for briefing on the schedule prescribed in Bankruptcy Local Rule 7007-1. Hearings on

Motions filed by a non-Debtor must be scheduled for an Omnibus Hearing except as permitted under

the Expedited Relief Procedures (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a hearing on

Motions filed by a non-Debtor may thereafter be rescheduled by stipulation with the Debtors for a date

other than an Omnibus Hearing date through coordination with the Court.

22. If a Document is filed by a non-Debtor party and purports to set a hearing date

inconsistent with the Case Management Procedures, the Court shall reschedule the hearing through a

minute order on the Docket, for the first available Omnibus Hearing date after the applicable notice

period has expired and all applicable deadlines to oppose or reply to the Document shall apply to the

new hearing date.

23. If a movant or applicant other than the Debtors determines that a motion or

application requires emergency or expedited relief, the movant or applicant shall telephonically contact

the Debtors’ attorneys requesting that the motion or application be considered on an expedited basis

(the “Expedited Relief Procedures”). If the Debtors disagree with the movant or applicant’s

determination regarding the emergency or expedited nature of the relief requested, the movant or

applicant shall (i) inform the Court of the disagreement by telephone and thereafter (ii) arrange for a

telephonic chambers conference for the Court to determine whether an expedited hearing is necessary.

If the Court determines expedited consideration is necessary, it may set an expedited hearing and any

necessary expedited briefing schedule. The parties shall otherwise comply with Judge Montali’s

Practices and Procedures, available at the Court’s website:

(http://www.canb.uscourts.gov/procedure/montali/judge-montalis-practices-and-procedures).

24. If a Motion to extend the time to take any action is filed consistent with this

Order before the expiration of the period prescribed by the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules,

the Bankruptcy Local Rules, or the provisions of any order entered by this Court, the time shall

automatically be extended until the Court acts on the Motion, without the necessity for the entry of a

bridge order.

SCHEDULE FOR FILING DOCUMENTS

25. Documents filed in these Chapter 11 Cases shall follow the briefing schedules

set forth in Bankruptcy Local Rule 9014-1(c), except as expressly modified herein. Unless ordered by

the Court, the objection deadline for all Motions shall be 4:00 p.m. (Prevailing Pacific Time). Motions

in adversary proceedings shall follow the briefing schedule set forth in Bankruptcy Local Rule 7007-1.

The scheduled hearing date for all Motions shall be an Omnibus Hearing date unless otherwise

authorized by the Court.

26. Notwithstanding section 362(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, if a motion for relief

from the automatic stay (a “Stay Relief Motion”) is scheduled, in accordance with this Order, for, or

adjourned to, a hearing date that falls on or after the thirtieth (30th) day after the filing of the Stay

Relief Motion, the moving party shall be deemed to have consented to the continuation of the

automatic stay in effect pending the conclusion of, or as a result of, a final hearing and determination

under section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall be deemed to have waived its right to assert

the termination of the automatic stay under section 362(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

27. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Bankruptcy Local Rules to

the contrary, in accordance with section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, Stay Relief Motions shall be

noticed for consideration on the Omnibus Hearing Date that is at least twenty-one (21) days after the

Stay Relief Motion is filed and notice thereof is served upon the Debtors. Unless otherwise ordered by

the Court, the objection deadline with respect thereto shall be 4:00 p.m. (Prevailing Pacific Time) on

the date that is seven (7) calendar days prior to the applicable hearing.

28. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, Replies, if any, shall be filed with the

Court and served in accordance with these Case Management Procedures on or before 12:00 p.m.

(Prevailing Pacific Time) on the day that is two (2) business days prior to the date of the applicable

hearing (the “Reply Deadline”).

29. Sur-replies shall be not permitted or considered unless authorized by the Court.

30. Submission of orders shall follow the procedures set forth in Bankruptcy Local

Rule 9021-1(c) and the San Francisco Division’s procedures for uploading orders.

HEARING PROCEDURES

31. The initial hearing on all Motions will not be an evidentiary hearing, unless the

Court otherwise directs in advance of the hearing. If, upon or after the filing of a Motion, any party

seeks an evidentiary hearing, such party must confer with all other parties involved to determine

whether there is agreement that an evidentiary hearing is appropriate. In the absence of an agreement,

the Court will consider requests for an evidentiary hearing by conference call. The Court may, upon

advance request and for cause shown, order that the initial hearing on a Motion will be an evidentiary

hearing. Generally, interests of judicial economy and the absence of disputed material issues of fact

will collectively suggest that a non-evidentiary hearing is appropriate on Motions.

32. Concurrently with any determination that an evidentiary hearing is necessary or

desirable, Chambers must be notified with an estimate of expected trial time; parties may be informed

that a different return date is necessary if the available time on the requested day is insufficient. Any

Motion noticed as an evidentiary hearing must prominently state, just below the return date in the

upper right-hand corner, “Evidentiary Hearing Requested.”

33. A request for relief in a Motion may be granted without a hearing provided that,

after the passage of the objection deadline; the movant requests relief by default by following the

procedures set forth in B.L.R. 9014-1(b)(4). If the Court does not grant the relief, the Motion will be

heard at the originally scheduled hearing; provided that if the Court does not grant the relief requested

in a Motion without a hearing, such action shall not constitute an extension of the objection deadline

related thereto, unless otherwise agreed between the Debtors and the party seeking relief.

34. In the event a matter is properly noticed for hearing and the parties reach

agreement on a settlement of the dispute prior to the final hearing, the parties may announce the

settlement at the scheduled hearing. In the event the Court determines that the notice of the dispute

and the hearing is adequate notice of the effects of the settlement (i.e., that the terms of the settlement

are not materially different from what parties in interest could have expected if the dispute were fully

litigated), the Court may approve the settlement at the hearing without further notice of the terms of

the settlement. In the event the Court determines that additional or supplemental notice is required, the

Debtors shall serve such notice in accordance with the Case Management Procedures set forth herein

and a hearing to consider such settlement shall be on the next hearing day deemed appropriate by the

Court.

FORM OF DOCUMENTS

35. A “Notice of Hearing” for every Motion shall be filed in accordance with

Bankruptcy Local Rule 9013-1(b)(3) and shall include the following: (i) the title of the Motion; (ii)

the parties upon whom any Opposition to the Motion is required to be served; (iii) the date and time of

the applicable objection deadline; (iv) the date of the Omnibus Hearing at which the Motion shall be

considered by the Court; and (v) a statement that the relief requested may be granted without a hearing

if no Opposition is timely filed and served in accordance with these Case Management Procedures.

36. The applicable objection deadline shall appear below the hearing date on every

Notice of Hearing and each Motion and each Opposition thereto.

37. Nothing in these Case Management Procedures shall prejudice the right of any

party to move the Court to request relief under section 107(b) of the Bankruptcy Code to protect any

entity with respect to a trade secret or confidential research, development, or commercial information

or to protect a person with respect to scandalous or defamatory matter contained in a Document filed

in these Chapter 11 Cases.

DISCOVERY AND EVIDENCE

38. Expedited discovery in contested matters in these Chapter 11 Cases is

authorized without further Court order. This authorization is without prejudice to the rights of any

party or witness to seek protective order relief if the time to respond or appear, or the burden of the

requested discovery, is unreasonable or for other cause shown. Parties are expected to work

informally and cooperatively to effect any necessary discovery, with due recognition of the time

exigencies that are typical in bankruptcy litigation. Document requests by letter, facsimile (if

available), or e-mail (if available) are authorized.

39. Parties are required in the first instance to resolve discovery and due diligence

disputes by negotiation in good faith and, if necessary, a conference call with the Court without

submission of papers. Such calls will not be scheduled until and unless the parties have first tried and

failed to resolve the disputed matters themselves. Parties requesting a conference call shall do so by

written request to Chambers with a description of the underlying dispute. Unless otherwise ordered by

the Court, no Motion with respect to a discovery or due diligence dispute may be filed unless the

parties have first conferred in good faith to resolve it and also sought to resolve the matter by

conference call with the Court.

40. Except as otherwise ordered by the Court for cause shown before the hearing, all

direct testimony in contested matters in these Chapter 11 Cases, other than duly designated deposition

testimony and testimony by witnesses not under the party’s reasonable control, must be submitted by

affidavit, and all cross-examination and subsequent examination will be taken live. Unless otherwise

ordered by the Court, all affidavits and any designated testimony must be submitted to the adversary

and the Court no later than three (3) full business days before the hearing.

41. Parties may, if they are so advised, introduce the testimony of witnesses who

reasonably can be expected not to be cooperative (such as employees or agents of adversaries) by

calling them as adverse witnesses and taking their testimony on “adverse direct.” The Court will

generally regard taking direct testimony “live” as appropriate if, but only if, matters of credibility are

important in the particular case, and credibility on direct, as well as after cross-examination, is at issue;

the Court generally will regard “live” direct as inappropriate where the bulk of the testimony is

historical or involves more than minimal discussion of accounting information or other financial or

numerical analysis. In any instances where direct testimony will proceed “live,” the proponent(s) of

such testimony will be responsible for so advising Chambers in advance and taking such steps (e.g.,

subpoenas) as are necessary to secure the attendance of any non-cooperating witnesses. The parties

shall also meet and confer to agree on the admissibility of as many proposed exhibits as possible and

shall submit a joint exhibit book to Chambers no later than three (3) business days before the hearing.

MISCELLANEOUS

42. By approximately 12:00 p.m. (Prevailing Pacific Time) on the day before a

scheduled hearing, the Debtors shall file a letter (the “Agenda Letter”) setting forth each matter to be

heard at the hearing (the letter may be updated after the initial submission if necessary) and shall

deliver a copy of the letter to Chambers, by e-mail or hand delivery, and serve the letter(s), by e-mail

or Notice of Electronic Filing: (i) the U.S. Trustee; (iii) counsel for any Official Committee; and (iv)

any parties filing Documents to be heard at the hearing; provided that an Agenda Letter shall not be

required where the Debtors have less than forty-eight (48) hours’ notice of a hearing.

43. Matters listed on the Agenda Letter shall be limited to matters of substance and

shall not include administrative filings such as notices of appearance and affidavits of service.

44. If a party desires to participate in a hearing by telephone, such party must

arrange such telephonic participation with Court Call, adhering to the San Francisco Division’s

Procedures for Appearances by Telephone and this Court’s Practices and Procedures. Court staff

approval is not required for telephonic appearances in these Chapter 11 Cases, and the 4:00 p.m.

telephone reservation deadline is waived.

45. Any party in interest may seek to amend the Case Management Procedures from

time to time throughout these Chapter 11 Cases and shall present such amendments to the Court by

notice of presentment in accordance with this Order.

46. The Debtors may seek to amend the Case Management Procedures from time to

time throughout these Chapter 11 Cases and shall present such amendments to the Court by notice of

presentment in accordance with this Order.

47. Within three (3) business days of entry of this Order, the Claims and Noticing

Agent shall serve a printed copy of this Order upon all parties on the Master Service List and post a

copy of this Order on the Case Website.

48. To the extent the Case Management Procedures conflict with the Bankruptcy

Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, or the Bankruptcy Local Rules, the Case Management Procedures shall

govern these Chapter 11 Cases.
