April 11, 2012 - Please be reminded that Local Rule 34.1 requires each party to file an Oral Argument Statement Form within 14 days of the filing of the last appellee's brief in all cases other than those placed on the Non-Argument Calendar.

Counsel are reminded that the Court does not favor a motion for permission to argue a case when counsel has defaulted on filing the statement.
