Official rule; awaiting reverification against the current source text. Verify with the clerk, judicial assistant, or official court website before relying on it.

Summary

Before trial or any dispositive evidentiary hearing a case-management order sets specific, detailed requirements for disclosing ALL evidence to the other parties and the Court; failure to comply results in exclusion. Hearing requests use a 7-item email format to ssutton@circuit5.org.

Source of truth

All parties must comply with that Order, or their proposed evidence will be excluded.
