What court? What judge? What ruling is to be found?

Was it a motion? A verdict? In a civil matter?

Which court, which "session", which judge?

I've seen matters take 5 years, in the past, but nowthere's a docket schedule giving time limits on all phasesof all sorts of trials, very much depending on what thematter is about.

Do you have an attorney? Did you ask that attorney to researchthe question so that he knows how long the judge has on the matterand can tell you? You might not want to be the one to be pushy on a slow judge, though, so patience might be the solution.

Ask the clerk for the information.

I suggest that you contact the clerk of court and inquire if a decision has been made. It is possible that the judge made the decision and you have not been notified. It is also possible that the clerk will inquire of the judge and get the decision without the judge knowing which litigant is asking.

Hello ... what happened on this case?

Did you get an answer from a clerk?

Which court and what type of case was it?
