Communications with Chambers: For case related matters or procedural issues, the Court strongly prefers email over phone communication with the courtroom deputy, with a copy to opposing counsel. Substantive issues must be raised by motion, not email. Judge Fuentes' courtroom deputy can be reached at Jannette_Nunez@ilnd.uscourts.gov
