The clerk must send to the parties—at least 21 days before the date the case is set for argument or submission without argument—a notice telling the parties:
-
(a) whether the court will allow oral argument or will submit the case without argument;
-
(b) the date of argument or submission without argument;
-
(c) if argument is allowed:
-
- (1) the time allotted for argument; and
-
- (2) the location of the argument or instructions for joining the argument electronically, the court’s designated contact information, and instructions for submitting exhibits; and
-
(d) the names of the members of the panel to which the case will be argued or submitted, subject to change by the court. A party’s failure to receive the notice does not prevent a case’s argument or submission on the scheduled date. Once issued, the court may amend the notice at any time before the case is set for argument or submission. The 21-day requirement does not apply to amended notices.
