Parties should not copy the court on their email disputes; the court will not consider them.

On a related point, the parties or their lawyers should not copy the court on their email spats. The court will not consider them and it just makes everyone look less professional.

Parties may contact court staff if a matter has been pending for a reasonable time without response.

If something has been pending and you have waited for a reasonable amount of time but have not heard from us, please reach out to my staff. Keep in mind, however, that we often have to allow time to pass before we act, to give the opposing party a chance to respond or for a variety of other reasons. My staff works very hard. Please be courteous to them.

Please let the Court know if you did not get a ruling on a motion you filed either by addressing it in open court or by contacting the Judicial Assistant.
