Reviewer note: Source sha256: d5fffd70c82496ba5b7e30201c3c6cc22907a8c6a0b9b053d766ec2c71b33d4b. Corpus categories: OTHER_PUBLISHED_PROCEDURE. Operative status as recorded: LIVE_PAGE_CURRENT_AS_CRAWLED. Published during the 2026-07-24 completeness pass. SOURCE DRIFT MEASURED 2026-07-24: the page(s) these requirements were captured from have been edited since capture. A live re-read found 12 of 13 published requirements (92%) still present on 1 source page (/courts-judges/judge-mitchell-bishop/judge-mitchel-bishop-division-procedures/). The missing text may have been reworded, moved, or withdrawn — BenchPath does not guess which. Confidence held at high because the overwhelming majority survived verbatim. Re-verify before relying on any single clause.
Judge Bell caps motions and responses at 5 pages for UMC hearings and 12 pages for special-set hearings.
Judge Alijewicz requires every motion for attorney's fees and/or costs to attach a document detailing time records — no records, no fee award.
Judge Corlew bars informal contact: every communication with the Court must be in writing, filed with the Clerk, with copies furnished to all parties — and no calls to the JA to schedule or cancel UMC.
