Commissioner Albrecht’s division prefers video appearances through Court Connect and
Microsoft TEAMS, if possible, as it ensures it is easier to know who is appearing at the hearing
and being able to see the other parties reduces interruptions and delays. Additionally, appearing
by video increases the chance that the Court can use features such as shared screens to show

everyone exhibits or forms that may be helpful for the hearing. However, no party shall be
penalized for appearing by phone. Whether parties appear by videoconference, phone, or a
hybrid of the two, they should try as much as possible to contact the court from an area with no
background noise as noise and echoes prevent the parties from hearing the proceedings in the
courtroom and prevent the court from making a good record of the proceedings. The parties
are especially discouraged from appearing virtually from an outdoor location.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if either party has exhibits to be marked, copies of all
exhibits shall be submitted online by end of business January 8, 2026 to the Clerk of the
Superior Court for marking at the following website:
https://www.clerkofcourt.maricopa.gov/services/exhibits-submission. This webpage also
provides instructions and guidance for electronic submission. In the event that a party is unable
to access the internet to submit exhibits, they may provide them for marking at the Maricopa
County Superior Court, East Court Building, 101 West Jefferson, Courtroom 513, Phoenix AZ
85003 by end of business January 8, 2026. If exhibits are submitted through the Division, they
shall be marked numerically and consecutively. Do not skip numbers. Numbers will not be
skipped or saved in anticipation of additional exhibits to be submitted. Additional exhibits,
if necessary, may be marked during the course of the hearing. Exhibits shall be separated by a
colored sheet of paper with the exhibit number written on front. Each exhibit shall be clipped or
bound if too large to be stapled. The parties shall also provide a bench (paper) copy of their
exhibits to this Division’s inbox located in the East Court Building Suite #513.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if either party wishes to have audio or video
exhibit(s) marked, the parties shall provide those in a digital media format such as a flash drive
or a CD, and deliver those to the Maricopa County Superior Court, East Court Building, 101
West Jefferson, Courtroom 513, Phoenix AZ 85003 for marking only by end of business
January 8, 2026. The flash drive or cd will be marked as one exhibit. Please note that the parties
will be responsible for presenting their exhibits at the hearing/trial. The Court will not play
exhibits from the digital media devices for the parties. These exhibit(s) shall include the case
number, party submitting the exhibit(s), the hearing date and the judicial officer’s name. Any
exhibit(s) that were already submitted through the Clerk of Court’s online portal do not need to
be included on the flash drive.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED approving and settling the formal written Order Setting
Default Hearing, signed by the Court on December 11, 2025 and filed (entered) by the Clerk on
December 12, 2025.
NOTICE: Exhibits submitted to the court for an evidentiary hearing, whether through
hard copy or submitted electronically, that are marked as exhibits but are not offered into
evidence at the hearing, will be destroyed following the hearing, unless a party requests that the

evidence be returned at the conclusion of the hearing. Such requests must be filed with the Court
and served on all parties in advance of the hearing or by no later than the conclusion of the
hearing.
NOTE: All court proceedings are recorded digitally and not by a court reporter.
Pursuant to Local Rule 2.22, if a party desires a court reporter for any proceeding in which a
court reporter is not mandated by Arizona Supreme Court Rule 30, the party must submit a
written request to the assigned judicial officer at least ten (10) judicial days in advance of the
hearing and must pay the authorized fee to the Clerk of the Court at least two (2) judicial days
before the proceeding. The fee is $140 for a half-day and $280 for a full day.
