The Court, having reduced its backlog significantly over the past several years, will now schedule hearings in cases once the answering brief is filed. In its continued effort to improve overall case processing times, the Court will make a concerted effort to (1) streamline briefing schedules across all case types, including immigration cases; (2) reduce delay related to transcript preparation in cases without transcripts; (3) limit the number and length of briefing extensions granted across all case types after the initial request; and (4) absent a compelling and irreconcilable conflict, schedule cases at the locations and on the dates provided in the initial calendaring notice. This announcement provides notice to counsel that their cases should be briefed and argued within the time frames set out by the Court.
