Below is rule in sno co local rule re closing a probate where notice is required.  The calendar note and Court Commissioner’s calendar say to present such on the probate Court Commissioner’s calendar; the rule is pretty clear that  it should be presented on the Commissioner’s Civil Motions Calendar.  Different rooms and different schedules.  Has anyone encountered and resolved this lately?
