Judge Cox's practices and standing orders
Rules for cases before Judge Cox, as published on the court's website (checked October 10, 2026). Judges revise these often, so confirm the current version on the court's site before you file.
Key rules
Filing
Send courtesy copies, with tabbed exhibits, for documents exceeding 30 pages.
“Courtesy copies in all matters required for each document (including attached exhibits) that exceed 30 pages. Attached exhibits must be separated by tabs.”
Motions
A notice withdrawing a contested motion does not cancel its hearing; a signed stipulation and court order are required.
“If a motion is contested, filing a notice withdrawing the motion will not vacate the scheduled hearing; rather, only a stipulation signed by the opposing party and a court order approving the stipulation will vacate a contested hearing.”
Conferences
Include the specified hearing location and remote appearance language in every notice of hearing.
“ALL NOTICES OF HEARING SHOULD CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE: NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the hearing on the Motion will be held before a United States Bankruptcy Judge in the Foley Federal Building, 300 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas Nevada 89101. Parties are also permitted to appear telephonically”

How Judge Cox decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A debtor's sworn schedules can supply evidence supporting a claim the debtor later objects to.
“Robles’ admissions set forth in his schedules are sufficient evidence under Nevada law to prove liability and the amount of his debt.”
Cautions
A creditor's failure to oppose does not by itself entitle the debtor to claim disallowance.
“this does not entitle the debtor to relief that is otherwise inappropriate.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Accordingly, the Objection to Discover Bank’s Proof of Claim No. 1 (ECF No. 39) must be overruled.”
Caseload & timing
From public federal docket records for this judge.
All five streams were complete and matched the expected cases. Most entry descriptions were blank or generic, and later substantive activity in two matters occurred only after reassignment, so no outcome was attributed to Cox from the sample.
