In addition, we are now paying $25 for a sticky label (gold seal) which a) costs maybe 2 cents and could be (and used to be) handled by the Judge's assistants.

Original Message------
And... Don't even get me started on this one (okay, started):
To secretary/clerk: "Something quite urgent just came up on our case that doesn't amount to a Crowe-level emergency, but, it sure could benefit from the Judge's attention. Perhaps we might have a conference call. MAY WE FAX A ONE-PAGE LETTER TO YOUR JUDGE LOL?"
From secretary/clerk: "Let me ask the judge and get back to you (in a week or two)."
To secretary/clerk: Several follow-up calls, a) right into voicemail, or b) pointless, because the vicinage does not have voicemail.
(This can actually be flow-charted.)
From secretary/clerk (finally): "ABSOLUTELY NOT. LOL MAIL IT."
To secretary/clerk: "But it's a pretty hot issue. Can we leave a short message?"
From secretary/clerk: "LOL. Hell no." (Kidding, but interpreting awkward silence.)
To staff: "Please send this out to Judge and Adversary by FedEx, overnight delivery, and follow up on it tomorrow."
Staff: "Here we go again. Ugh..." (suicide methods seriously considered)
Staff to secretary/clerk: "We sent a letter to your Judge, via FedEx, concerning an urgent development on the Smith case. Since the last time we did that, your Judge said she never received it when Mr./Ms. So-and-so was on his or her feet in front of her, we just wanted to be super sure that your Judge received it this time."
From secretary/clerk: "Don't see it... might be on the front lawn. I'll look into it (just kidding).
Staff to secretary/clerk (next day): "Anything?"
From secretary/clerk: "NOPE. But I'll be here all week. Remember to tip your waiters and waitresses."

This is up there - at a much lesser level - with some courts' policies regarding mandatory pretrial submissions. Beats the living daylights out of client who aren't swimming in money, while aggravating moneyed client as well. Win-Win!

Absolutely Agree. But if we don't file answer to counter-claim I believe that would be negligence.
It is outrageous.
I just filed notice if appearance in FD matter. $50!
