In preparation for the retirement of the Honorable Kevin R. Huennekens on January 10, 2025, and the judicial vacancy that will follow, and to ease the transition for litigants and the Court, the Court finds that Judge Huennekens no longer should receive new case assignments for a period in advance of his Honor’s retirement. Accordingly, Standing Order 24-25 establishes a case assignment protocol for the Richmond Division, which is applicable to cases filed on or after November 18, 2024. The Order provides additional information of interest, regarding which the public and Bar are invited to read. The Order is accessible on the Court’s internet website, under the News & Announcements header, and on the Court’s Standing Orders webpage, under the District-Based Standing Orders header.
