Unless otherwise provided by order, all counsel, parties, and witnesses must appear in person at evidentiary hearings and trials before Judge Kimball. 

If the applicable notice of hearing or order setting hearing so provides, counsel and parties in interest may participate by video conference at non-evidentiary hearings before Judge Kimball. 

Unless otherwise provided by notice of hearing or order, counsel and parties in interest may participate by video conference in all chapter 13 confirmation hearings and chapter 13 motion calendars and in all scheduling conferences in adversary proceedings.

Participation in hearings by video conference is a privilege, not a right, that may be denied by Judge Kimball at any time.  

Although conducted using video conferencing technology, the hearing is a court proceeding.  The formalities of the courtroom must be observed.  All participants must dress appropriately, exercise civility, and otherwise conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the dignity of the court.  Do not participate from a noisy environment, a vehicle (even if parked), or any other location that may pose a distraction for other participants.  Judge Kimball may remove from the video conference any person who does not comply with this paragraph and may proceed with the hearing, including ruling, as though the removed person failed to attend.  

If allowed to participate at a hearing by video conference, each person must register not later than 3:00 p.m. on the business day prior to the hearing using the following registration link unless a different registration link is provided in the appliable notice of hearing or by order:
