After a new civil complaint is filed in the Clerk’s Office, subsequent pleadings must be filed electronically on the court’s eFiling website: https:/efile.macombcountymi.govExtending Summons: Requests to extend the summons must be accompanied by a motion & proposed order & must be submitted prior to expiration of the original summons. Such requests will only be granted upon a showing of due diligence by plaintiff in attempting to serve the original summonsFacilitative Mediation: Requests to submit a case to facilitative mediation under MCR 2.410 and 2.411 may be made by stipulation. If the parties are unable to agree on a mediator, the Court will select a mediator in the manner provided by MCR 2.411 (B)(3). The Court will generally require that facilitation occur within 60 days, unless good cause is shown for an extension.Scheduling Orders: For most civil cases, Court Administration issues the standard Discover & Case Evaluation Order. At the Status Conference prior to Early Disposition Settlement Conference, the Judge will review the dates & amend as necessary. Requests to extend the scheduling order dates must be made by motion & only will be granted upon showing a good cause. If a Case Evaluation Hearing has already been scheduled, the parties must pay the $150 adjournment fee prior to submitting the order for entry.Status Conferences Prior to Early Disposition Settlement Conferences: The attorneys attending the conference must be thoroughly familiar with the case & have the authority necessary to fully participate in the conference.

A party whose presence is excused must be available by telephone. If a matter is resolved & an order of dismissal is entered before the conference date, the attorneys & parties need not appear for the conference.Trial Procedures & New Jury Management Rules: The Court’s trial procedures are contained in its Trial Procedure Order, which is issued when a case is scheduled for trial. The Michigan Supreme Court has amended several of the rules governing the conduct of jury trials. Although a majority of the new rules are discretionary with the court, & may not be applicable in every case, it is Judge Foster’s practice to provide jurors with a reference notebook (MCR 2.513(E); to allow jurors to take notes (MCR 2.513(H) & ask questions (MCR 2.513(I); and to allow juror discussion in civil cases (MCR 2.531(K). Trial Counsel must be familiar with the amended court rules & should note changes from the former rules. Any issues that may arise concerning application of the new jury manage-ment rules may be addressed formally in a motion or informally at a Settlement or Status Conference.
