Judge Roby's Courtroom Guidelines and Procedures (Civil Jury, July 2026) prohibit asking the JA to relay messages (ex-parte); all communication in open court, in writing copied to opposing counsel, or filed. Chambers is paperless — all materials by email PDF to MCJudge3@circuit19.org. Motions must be e-filed before setting a hearing, and filing alone does not bring a motion before the court. UMC (9 a.m., online scheduling) is capped at 5 minutes per case; contested summary-judgment, evidentiary, and complex motions are excluded from UMC. Case law handed up during a hearing may not be considered. A standing order governs ESI discovery in the civil jury division.
