KIRSCH, Judge,
dissenting.
Indiana Trial Rule 76(C)(5) addresses the situation where a court holds a hearing in a matter and at that hearing sets the matter for trial. That is not the situation here. Here, the court simply set the matter for trial.
The rule states:
where a party has appeared at or received advance notice of a hearing prior to the expiration of the date within which a party may ask for a change of judge or county, and also where at said hearing a trial date is set which setting is promptly entered on the Chronological Case Summary, a party shall be deemed to have waived a request for change of judge or county unless within three days of the oral setting the party *342files a written objection to the trial setting and a written motion for change of judge or county;
(Emphasis added).
To me the rule applies very narrowly. It requires (1) that a party appear at or have notice of a hearing, (2) that the court at that hearing sets the matter for trial, and (3) that the trial date is promptly entered into the CCS. Here, because the trial setting was not made in course of conducting a hearing, I do not believe the Rule applies, and, accordingly, I respectfully dissent.
