asuntos/cuestiones administrativas


Explanation:
Quiere decir esto, van a hablar sobre como proseguir durante el proceso (de la audiencia, juicio, etc.).

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

There are substantive or housekeeping matters. Substantive matters have to do with the law, the merits of the case, housekeeping has to do with clerical things, like scheduling.

Thursday's court appearance before U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum was a status conference -- a routine step as prosecutors and defendants take care of what they call "housekeeping" matters (basically setting a schedule) as they prepare for trial.

2. Communication With Law Clerks
Provided opposing counsel is advised of the call, Judge Pollak considers calls to his law clerks on scheduling and similar housekeeping matters to be appropriate. Discussion of substantive
matters (as, for example, an attempt to argue merits of a pending or anticipating motion) is not appropriate.

With this distinction between substantive and housekeeping matters in mind, we must determine whether, in fact, the communication at issue here was related to a housekeeping matter, as the postconviction court found, or to substantive matters, as Ford argues.
