In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and in an effort to reduce the possibility of exposure to the virus and slow the spread of the disease, ALL HEARINGS SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 2020 IN ASHEVILLE WILL BE CONDUCTED TELEPHONICALLY.  If evidence needs to be presented in your case or you anticipate extensive argument, you will need to either continue the matter to a future hearing date in Asheville or contact chambers (704-350-7575) for a special setting.  If the court is unable to understand a party or attorney appearing telephonically for technical reasons, the court will continue the hearing to a future date.

All parties with matters scheduled for hearing August 4, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. should dial-in at 9:45 a.m. 

All parties with matters scheduled for hearing in Ch. 13 and 7 cases for August 18, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. should dial-in at 9:15 a.m. 

All parties with matters scheduled for hearing in Ch. 11 and 12 cases for August 19, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. should dial-in at 9:15 a.m.

The dial-in information will be the same for telephonic hearings scheduled for the month of August 2020.

Additional information:

Please dial in using a landline if possible. The use of a cell phone is discouraged due to dropping connections.  If you choose to use a cell phone and the connection is dropped, you may not have immediate access to reconnect to the courtroom.  Once court starts, the phone line will be locked to avoid disruptions in court.  When all of your matters have been heard, the court will advise you when it is appropriate to disconnect.

UNTIL YOUR CASE IS CALLED, please activate the mute button and do not place the call on hold as it causes a disruption on the phone line and in court.
