Motion Practice
Scheduling of Motions
The court hears motions on Monday through Friday at 9:15 a.m. with 2 days' notice. LR 5.3(b) requires that the presentment date for any motion must not be scheduled beyond ten business days after the notice of presentment is filed.
Unless counsel has received a ruling on the motion or the court has advised or notified a party that it need not appear, counsel is expected to be present whether or not the motion is agreed upon with opposing counsel. Agreed-upon motions are often granted by electronically filed orders, however, obviating the need for in-court appearance. If such is not the case as to any motion that is agreed upon or as to which no opposition is expected, counsel are encouraged to telephone chambers on the day before the presentment date to learn whether appearance is necessary.
