No motions shall be noticed for presentment pursuant to the Seventh Amended General Order 21-0027

Motions for Extensions of Time

A party seeking an extension of time must contact all other parties in the case to determine whether they object to the extension. Any motion for extension of time must indicate whether it is the first or subsequent extension request, shall include the reasons for the request, any previous relief granted, and whether any other party objects to the extension.

Joint, Agreed, and Uncontested Motions

Joint, uncontested and agreed motions should be so identified in both the title and body of the motion. Unless the Court has told a party it need not appear, counsel for all parties to which the motion is directed are expected to be present whether or not the motion is opposed. After 4:00 p.m. on the afternoon prior to the hearing date, counsel should check the case docket to determine whether an appearance is necessary.

Other Requirements

Counsel should not respond to motions by correspondence with the Court.

The Court strongly encourages counsel to convert electronic filings created with word-processing software into .pdf documents by printing or publishing to .pdfs, rather than manually scanning paper copies into .pdfs. The former method of conversion generates searchable optical character recognition (OCR) text; the latter does not.
