Oral Argument Schedule Conflicts: Counsel can expect oral argument to be set within 2 months of the

would interfere with counsel's ability to appear for oral argument, and counsel should provide updates to
inform the clerk's office of any potential conflict as it arises. The clerk's office will make every effort to
accommodate counsel's conflicts if counsel so advises the clerk's office prior to the time that the clerk's office
sets the date for oral argument. After the date for oral argument is set, however, the date for oral argument
will not be postponed except on motion showing compelling circumstances. Counsel should be aware that
the court's future oral argument schedule is posted on the court's website at www.cafc.uscourts.gov under
the oral argument tab.
