New York, Jan. 4 - Adelphia Communications Corp. has had the matter of its claims objection scheduled for trial on May 7 and May 9 and May 14 and May 16, according to an attorney.

The trail dates were scheduled at Thursday's status hearing at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, according to the attorney.
