Dismissal Calendar

Also known as the Inactive Calendar, this is where the Court sets a deadline for the parties to take action in this case by either filing to extend the dismissal deadline or by filing a Motion to Set. The Motion to Set is generally for the Court to set a trial, but it may also be for the Court to set a Status Conference. If no action is taken by that date, the Court may dismiss the case altogether (though how quickly the Court dismisses the case is judge-dependent). The Dismissal Calendar is used to allow the Court to take a step back from the case while the parties complete their disclosure or discovery.
