FILING OF DOCUMENTS:
No civil motions may be noticed for presentment. After a motion is filed, the Court will set a date for a hearing at which a briefing schedule will be set.

Personal service of motions must be accomplished no later than 4:00 p.m. the day after a motion is filed.. Absent leave of Court, all memoranda of law must comply with the 15-page limitation set forth in Local Rule 7.1. No courtesy copies shall be delivered unless specifically requested by the Court. Any proposed or draft order must be submitted in compliance with the section entitled “Submitting a Proposed Order, Agreed or Otherwise, for Electronic Entry by the Judge,” infra.

TELEPHONIC APPEARANCE:

 The Court believes that status and motion hearings are substantive matters that require in-person participation and finds it difficult to have meaningful hearings by telephone. As a result, telephonic appearances are not allowed. If extraordinary circumstances exist, a party may contact the Courtroom Deputy, Lisa Provine, in advance to seek permission to participate by phone.
