Additional Information about Judge Berger’s Expedited Miscellaneous Hearing Dockets

Beginning May 6, 2026, Judge Berger began holding a monthly Expedited Miscellaneous hearing docket to hear certain types of time-sensitive matters. Please note that the Expedited Miscellaneous Hearing dockets:

Are governed by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9006(d), which contains the general rules governing deadlines to serve a

motion and a response;

Are held via Webex;

Are generally scheduled for the first Wednesday of every month at 1:30 PM; and

Provide a forum for Judge Berger to expeditiously handle certain relatively simple, time-sensitive matters.

For examples of matters that are eligible to be included on the Expedited Miscellaneous Docket, please see the April 23, 2026, announcement at https://www.ksb.uscourts.gov/news/new-expedited-miscellaneous-hearing-docket-dates-judge-berger-update-july-date.
