#1.00Hearing RE: Verified Motion For Order Dismissing Chapter 13 Proceeding (11 U.S.C. - 1307(c)) (Motion filed 9-30-20)(Set per opposition filed 10-13-20)

65Docket

In view of the Pandemic, in-person appearances at hearings are expressly prohibited at the time, and any person who is required to appear at a hearing or who desires to appear at a hearing must appear telephonically through CourtCall. If a tentative ruling states "Appearances not required", this does not mean that appearances are prohibited, but if a person desires to appear, such appearance must be telephonic and cannot be in person. Persons appearing telephonically are highly encouraged to use a landline for higher reception and clarity, and the use of speaker phones is prohibited.

TELEPHONIC APPEARANCES REQUIRED.

Grant the Motion and dismiss the case.
