Until further notice, courtesy copies are no longer required and motions shall not be noticed for presentment.  Parties shall propose a briefing schedule on opposed motions by email to the Courtroom Deputy, Christina Presslak.

The court will entertain requests for oral argument on contested motions, and will be favorably inclined to hear such arguments by newer lawyers.  The Court strongly encourages parties to permit less experienced lawyers to actively participate in the proceedings by presenting argument at motion hearings or examining witnesses at trial.
