Re: Anchorage Police & Fire Retirement System et al. v. Rudy
Adolf et al., C.A. No. 2024-0354-KSJM

Dear Counsel:

There is a hearing in this action scheduled for tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. Because

the members of the court share court rooms, court reporters, and other critical
C.A. No. 2024-0354-KSJM

resources, and because I have other meetings and matters to attend to, the hearing

will end no later than 3:00 p.m.

As you all know, this is how our court schedules hearings—in 90-minute

blocks. If a party needs more than 90 minutes to present a motion, it is incumbent

on that party to request more time through a motion or letter on the docket filed in

advance of the hearing. My assistant, Linda Rizzo, relayed this information to the

thorough person who called her three times to confirm it. During the third

communication, the caller questioned whether I was actually busy given that no other

hearings appeared on the court docket after the 1:30 p.m. hearing. Generally

speaking, litigants can trust that Ms. Rizzo has a better understanding than I do of

where I must be and when. But this letter is to confirm what she said (three times):

You have 90 minutes.

Sincerely,

/s/ Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick

Chancellor
