   2. Bankruptcy case number
   3. Date and time of hearing
   4. Name and telephone number of participant
   5. Docket number of the items for which the appearance is requested
   6. Reason a telephonic appearance is requested

   If the requesting party wishes to argue a contested matter, the request must state the specific extraordinary reasons for such request. Generally, the mere fact that an attorney or party resides outside of Clark County, Nevada does not constitute sufficient cause to be permitted to appear by telephone.

4. A court services staff member will notify the person who requested to participate telephonically whether or not permission has granted. If permission is granted, contact Court Call below to set up the telephonic appearance. Court Call fees and services may be obtained at their website.

Additional procedures if permission is granted

Note: The courtroom deputy or member of the Judge's staff will advise you of any additional procedures in addition to the procedures outlined below.

1. Party is to await a phone call from the courtroom deputy indicating the case is to be called and for further instructions.
2. Parties are not to use a speaker phone as this may interfere with the recording sound quality of the hearing. This court records hearings rather than using court reporters, therefore, clarity is of the utmost importance.
3. Parties are to identify themselves each time they speak so that the Judge, recorder, courtroom and other telephonic participants know who is addressing the court.
