Effective July 6, 2004, certain policies of the Second Circuit will be modified. As of that date, conferences in counseled immigration appeals will no longer be automatic. Also, as of that date, absent any need for expedition, the Court will grant a party one 30-day extension of time to file a brief upon filing an appropriate motion. Such extensions will be granted administratively by the Clerk, unless opposed, in which case it will be referred to a judge. For more information, see this.
