MEMORANDUM
TO: All Interested Parties
FROM: Stephen T. Gheen, Chief Deputy Commissioner
DATE: September 7, 2005
RE: November 2005 Trial Docket/Advisories
Effective today, workers’ compensation cases tentatively identified for docketing in November 2005 are posted on our website at http://www.comp.state.nc.us. The link to the November 2005 list of cases is located on the front page of the website, identified as “Master List of Cases For Docketing, November 2005, by Deputy Commissioner Section” (located below the section “Bankruptcies, Liquidations and Rehabilitations”). Cases identified for docketing in November 2005 are posted by Region/I.C. File Number, Alpha Plaintiff, and Alpha Defendant.
Requests for continuances, removals and potential additions are due no later than 12:00 noon, Friday, September 16, 2005. All requests should include the reason for the request with a copy to opposing counsel or the pro se party. If the case is still in mediation or should be mediated, please note this fact specifically. Continuances, removals and potential additions should be requested by email transmission to gheen@ind.commerce.state.nc.us.
Trial counsel are reminded that ANY case anticipated to require four or more hours for hearing is considered a “special set.” The Deputy Commissioner Section schedules “special set” cases on individual dockets to accommodate anticipated length of hearing. Counsel should review the cases posted and identify those cases that qualify as a “special set.” Immediately contact my office by email, including the anticipated length of hearing, in order to properly schedule these cases.
SPECIAL NOTE: We strongly prefer receiving requests by email without follow
up letters. We request that the stated reasons be made briefly and
entirely within the body of the email. Sending requests as attachments
to emails are discouraged unless absolutely necessary. We appreciate the
professionalism of parties and counsel preparing formal letters and
transmitting them as attachments. However, the Industrial Commission’s
current email program makes it difficult to retransmit attachments to the
various sections when a case is removed from the master docket. Therefore, we
ask for simple email messages.
We strongly encourage trial counsel to determine early in the process if there
are cases that can be settled. Traditionally, a number of cases are settled near
the actual hearing date. An earlier determination would assist our docket
management in November 2005.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
