(b)  place the case pro forma on the practice roll, within 30 days of the deposit of the notice of appeal or within such other time as may be directed by the judge, and give notice in writing of the date to the parties.

At the calling of the practice roll or in the course of a preparatory conference which, at the option of the judge, may be held by telephone the latter, after examining the questions in issue and discussing with the parties the evidence as it relates to the grounds of appeal may prescribe whatever steps are deemed appropriate to complete the record, settle questions relating to the written submissions and shorten the hearing. After establishing a timetable for the completion of the record the judge may continue the matter to a subsequent calling of the practice roll, fix a date for a further preparatory conference, or set a date forthwith for the hearing.
