Timeliness is the focal point when a party seeks a change of judge. The written notice must include a clear statement about whether the request is timely under the applicable deadlines. This lets the court quickly determine if the request meets the time limits and can be considered on the merits; if the notice says it is timely, the matter proceeds under the rule’s timing requirements, and if it’s not timely, the court can address that threshold first. Other elements aren’t required in the timeliness note: a schedule of upcoming court dates isn’t part of this notice, certification of service on all parties is a separate procedural requirement, and the grounds for the change belong in the substantive motion rather than in the timeliness statement. So the essential item to include in the notice about change of judge timing is a statement of timeliness.
