Practitioners Take Note:
Exhibits for hearings are REQUIRED to be uploaded to the
case file at least three (3) days prior to the hearing.
Practitioners are not complying with this requirement.
The Commission expects ALL attorneys to comply and
submit their exhibits timely.
No paper documents will be accepted at the hearing. |

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issues are being withdrawn at the last minute.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.
