N O T I C E
At the last Circuit Judicial Conference, the Chief Judge announced that the time lapse between the filing of cases and their submission for disposition has been greatly reduced. This reduction in time has been brought about by a close monitoring of cases and by the adoption of various practices designed to minimize requests for continuances. The Court has cut sharply into its backlog of calendarable cases.
The purpose of this Notice is to advise that the Court will continue to take a firm position with respect to the grant of routine requests for additional time. The Court has instructed the Clerk's Office to advise counsel and litigants of this policy and to grant extensions of time only when such action will not preclude a case from being heard during the sitting period when it normally would be set for oral argument.
/s/ George A. Fisher
