The Commission notes that there have been many unnecessary last
minute requests for postponement or issues are being withdrawn at the
last minute. This late action impacts everyone and severely hampers the
ability of the Commission to timely set priority cases. During this
time when the number of cases that can be set are reduced, it is
imperative that attorneys plan accordingly. The Commission asks that
whenever possible, you file requests for postponements or withdraw
issues far enough in advance that another case can be set.
