Emergency Motions

Emergency matters must be of such a nature that a delay in hearing them would cause serious harm to one or more of the parties. Requests to treat a matter as an emergency must be emailed to the assigned courtroom deputy with as much advance notice as possible prior to filing. If the request is granted, scheduling information will be provided. All emergency motions must include detailed statements about the following: movant’s good faith efforts to resolve the matter before filing; nature of the emergency; and basis for emergency treatment. All reasonable efforts must be made to provide actual notice to any person affected by the relief sought and/or opposing counsel.
