Changes to Case Assignment

Effective January 19, 2027, the judges have agreed to for bankruptcy cases to be assigned pursuant to the Administrative Order dated November 9, 2026. Judge Burris will be assigned all Chapter 7 cases filed in the Columbia and Charleston divisions on or about January 19, 2027 and thereafter, and Judges Gasparini and Davis may also reassign, at their discretion, pending Chapter 7 cases to Judge Burris. The self-scheduling calendars have been updated to reflect the new case assignment, including adding Columbia and Charleston hearing dates for Judge Burris beginning in February 2027. After the new assignment date, please check the case docket to confirm the assigned judge and select the date, place, and time that is appropriate for the judge assigned to the case for any self-scheduling.
