It is strongly recommended that phone calls to Judge Drain's chambers or courtroom deputy regarding scheduling matters and adjournments be made between 12:00 noon and 4:00 p.m. It will take longer for a response to such calls made at other times. In addition, adjournments normally are not granted if requested after 12:00 noon the day before the hearing, and parties should inform chambers as promptly as practicable after they have agreed to settle a matter.
