Notice of Filing vs. Notice of Motion

Please do not file a “notice of filing” in federal court, as they are unnecessary and serve only to clutter the docket.

A notice of motion is a notice that sets a date and time for a hearing with the Court for a motion. A party must file a notice of motion for any motion, as provided in Local Rule 5.3.

***The foregoing requirement is suspended indefinitely by Judge Kness’s current motions policy, which is in effect due to the ongoing interruption of normal Court operations due to public health circumstances***
