RESPONSE TO NOTICE TO ADVISE OF SCHEDULING CONFLICTS

Case Number:

Short Case Caption:

Party Name(s):

INFORMATION: The court uses this form to determine whether and when to

schedule cases for oral argument. Arguing counsel may be changed later, but a

motion to reschedule is required once the court schedules argument. Please plan in

advance to adhere to the limit on the number of arguing counsel in Fed. Cir. R. 34(e).

Argument Waiver ☐

My party intends to waive oral argument.

NOTE: Filers checking this box must still complete the below sections. The court

may still schedule this case for oral argument even if any party intends to

waive argument. If scheduled, parties may still elect to waive argument using

the response to notice of oral argument form.

Other Parties Representing Interests

☐Counsel for another party will represent my party’s interests at oral argument

NOTE: If this box is checked, skip the remaining sections. Any argument date will

be selected based on conflict dates for counsel arguing on behalf of your party.

Name of Expected Arguing Counsel

Dates Unavailable

Do you have dates of unavailability within the specific sessions identified by the

court’s Notice to Advise of Scheduling Conflicts in your case?

☐Yes ☐No

If yes, attach a separate sheet listing up to ten dates of unavailability and

include a statement showing good cause for each date. Dates without good

cause or that do not pertain to arguing counsel (e.g., client conflicts) will not be

accepted. The court will only accept dates for one counsel and only if that counsel

has filed an entry of appearance. The Clerk’s Office will evaluate and note accepted

or rejected conflict dates; counsel may contact the Clerk’s Office about re-filing if

dates are rejected. See Fed. Cir. R. 34(d); Practice Notes to Rule 34.
