Judge Kimball does not engage in any kind of communication with parties regarding cases pending before him except on the record in the courtroom and through documents filed and orders entered in the docket. Bankruptcy Rule 9003 prohibits such ex parte communication with the Judge by any party in interest regarding any matter affecting a case. Failure to comply with this rule may result in sanctions. DO NOT write letters to, e-mail, or call Judge Kimball or his law clerks regarding cases. Except in unusual circumstances, any written communication intended for Judge Kimball or his law clerks, or otherwise sent to the Court and identifying a particular case or proceeding, will be placed on the relevant docket and made part of the public record. Any such written communication may be set for hearing.
