    The author respectfully petitions this Court to amend Rule 38 of the Arizona Rules of Protective Order Procedure; more specifically, to indicate whether a judicial officer should dismiss or leave in place a protective order when both parties fail to appear at a contested hearing.

    He requests the Supreme Court add Rule 38(j) to say one of the following:

    (j) Failure to Appear. If both parties fail to appear at a scheduled contested hearing, the judicial officer shall leave the protective order in place.

    -OR-

    (j) Failure to Appear. If both parties fail to appear at a scheduled contested hearing, the judicial officer shall dismiss the protective order.

    Would amend Rule 38, Ariz. Rules of Protective Order Procedure to direct judicial officers whether to dismiss the protective order if both parties fail to appear at a contested hearing.
