Emergency Motions

Emergency motions must be “of such a nature that the delay” in hearing them “would cause serious and irreparable harm to one or more parties.” Local Rule 77.2 (emphasis added). Requests to set a hearing on an emergency motion shall be made to Judge Kness’s Courtroom Deputy, Enjoli Fletcher, with as much advance notice as possible. Unless the motion seeks an ex parte temporary restraining order under Rule 65(b)(1), parties must make all reasonable efforts to give actual notice to opposing counsel.
