Motions

  1. Confer. Generally, a movant must confer with opposing counsel before filing a motion. This does not apply to motions typically contested by the parties, including motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment, or administrative motions such as motions to withdraw as counsel and pro hac vice motions. If in doubt, please confer with opposing counsel before filing a motion.
    1. Agreed/Unopposed Motions. If opposing counsel agrees to or does not oppose the motion, then the movant must indicate as much in the motion’s title (e.g. “Unopposed Motion to . . .”).
    2. Opposed Motions. If opposing counsel opposes the motion, the movant shall indicate in the motion whether opposing counsel intends to file a written response. If so, the parties should discuss a briefing schedule and the movant shall include the proposed briefing schedule (or competing briefing schedules) in the motion.
  2. Notice. All motions must be noticed for presentment. I generally hear civil motions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 9:30 a.m.
