Subject: Hearing Timing
To:

To All Concerned,

The Judicial Committee is aware of the requests to delay the hearing.

Keep in mind the following:

1)  Only **ONE** speaker for either side is required to attend (yes, proxies are still allowed);

2)  No decision is likely to be made the same day as the hearing; this is for each side to present their best oral arguments;

3)  The Committee will decide based mostly upon the written filings.

4)  Action on both of these petitions has already gotten a bit long in the tooth. The day counts and deadlines are in clear text in the bylaws and our rules. 5)  To begin with, everyone involved was quite well aware that these decisions were going to be controversial and were likely to be challenged, and plans should have been readied accordingly.

6)  Another reason to move the hearing along is that as long as the hearings are delayed long enough, the controversial action can simply continue.  I think I speak for the majority of the Committee when I say that we want to decide and not be placed in the position wasting our personal and professional time on something that will make our consideration completely moot just because “the moment has passed”.

7)  If the Committee feels there is a need for more oral input, after the first hearing, additional time within a few days can be scheduled at the will of the Committee.
The hearing(s) will proceed as scheduled.

Thank you for your time and attention, and please forward to all interested parties.— Marc Montoni, LPJC Chair, (chair, Mar. 1, 2024–Sep. 30, 2024 term)
