Chávez Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP 1201 North Market Street Rodney Square Wilmington, DE 19801 1000 North King Street Wilmington, Delaware 19801 Re: Anchorage Police & Fire Retirement System et al. v. Rudy Adolf et al., C.A. No. 2024-0354-KSJM Dear Counsel: There is a hearing in this action scheduled for tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. Because the members of the court share court rooms, court reporters, and other critical C.A. No. 2024-0354-KSJM October 22, 2024 Page 2 of 2 resources, and because I have other meetings and matters to attend to, the hearing will end no later than 3:00 p.m. As you all know, this is how our court schedules hearings—in 90-minute blocks. If a party needs more than 90 minutes to present a motion, it is incumbent on that party to request more time through a motion or letter on the docket filed in advance of the hearing. My assistant, Linda Rizzo, relayed this information to the thorough person who called her three times to confirm it. During the third communication, the caller questioned whether I was actually busy given that no other hearings appeared on the court docket after the 1:30 p.m. hearing. Generally speaking, litigants can trust that Ms. Rizzo has a better understanding than I do of where I must be and when. But this letter is to confirm what she said (three times): You have 90 minutes. Sincerely, /s/ Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick Chancellor cc: All counsel of record (by File & ServeXpress)
