Motion Practice

Electronic Filing

The Court strongly encourages counsel to convert any word-processed document into a .pdf document by printing or publishing to .pdf, rather than manually scanning a paper copy into .pdf. The former method of conversion generates searchable optical character recognition (OCR) text; the latter does not.

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 should 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.

Briefing Schedule

The Court no longer requires motions to be noticed for presentment. Parties are encouraged to submit a joint proposed briefing schedule when filing a motion. In the absence of a briefing schedule proposed by the parties, the Court will set a briefing schedule by minute entry. Joint, uncontested, and agreed motions must be so identified in the title and body of the motion.
