Any person who has a court date during inclement weather and is concerned for his or her safety, will not be penalized if they are unable to make an appearance, however, they should notify the Court’s Judicial Assistant of the concern as soon as possible by leaving a voice message or email.

**Fourth Circuit Court will follow the University of Tennessee for closings or delays. Counsel should be advised to make certain that Ms. King has their email and cell phone numbers in case there is any question about the weather.
