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, THE HEARINGS SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 15, 2021 IN STATESVILLE 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 Statesville 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 hearing date.

All parties with cases on the 9:30 calendar should call in at 9:15. The court will lock the phone lines at 9:30.

All parties with cases on the 11:00 calendar should call in at 10:45. The court will lock the phone lines at 11:00.

The dial-in numbers for January 15, 2021 are:

• Teleconference Number:  888-684-8852

• Access Code:  4340964#

• Security Code:  2350#

Additional information:

Please dial in using a landline, if possible.  The use of cell phones 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.  In addition, please do not use hands-free devices.  The phone line will be locked once court starts to avoid disruption.  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.

We appreciate your patience during this unprecedented public health challenge and wish you continued safety and good health. Please contact chambers at 704-350-7575 or email  beyer_hearings@ncwb.uscourts.gov if you have any questions or concerns.
