Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Connecticut

How can I overnight a letter to a federal district court of Connecticut�s judge's chambers. This is an emergency I have been forced to handle a lot of responsibility at once. I forgot to send a letter to the judge about my current counsel breaking state bar and ABA rules of conduct ,ignoring privacy laws, failed to inform myself of upcoming court appearances so that they could they could navigate the case without my involvement unless it was to their advantage.

I am curious how much information and forms of corroboration the judge and staff are going to require in order to take my issue seriously and not return the letter.

Also curious about resources in understanding how to file emergency motions to change counsel, get pro se status, extend mediation deadlines, request a continuation of the discovery process, and how to request and arrange a meeting with the judge in his chambers to discuss the defendant's conduct regarding perjury.

I can almost guarantee you that the federal court will not take you seriously if you are doing these things. Its not like state court, they are not going to give a lot of breaks or leniency to pro se parties. If you are in litigation in US District Court without an attorney, you only even remotely practical advice I can give you is to find an attorney.
