2.1 The regular Motion Days for the Twenty-Fourth (24th) Judicial Circuit shall be as follows:

2.2. In addition to regular motion days, the Court may set special hearing days to accommodate the public holiday schedule, schedules of the parties, the caseload of the Circuit, or other relevant considerations. Additionally, the Court reserves the right to set motions on regular motion hour days as well as non-motion hour days.

2.3. The Circuit Clerk of each county shall keep a Motion Docket and shall docket in order all motions assigned for hearing.

2.4. All motions, civil and criminal, except those that are permitted to be filed ex parte, shall be filed with the Clerk of the appropriate county and served on opposing counsel by delivery no later than closing time in the Clerk's office five (5) business days immediately preceding the motion docket on which the motion is to be heard. Responses to said motions shall be filed in the Clerk's office two (2) business days immediately preceding the motion docket on which the motion is to be heard.

2.5. Any withdrawal or remand of motions or cancellation of hearings shall be made by the filing party directly to the Circuit Judge and to the Clerk and must be by agreement of all parties.

2.6. Parties may e-mail or fax motions to the Circuit Judge prior to the hearing date for informational purposes, but e-mailed or faxed motions shall not be recognized by the Court until the original is received and entered in the record by the appropriate Circuit Clerk. This Rule in no way precludes a party from filing motions in compliance with the e-filing system. Motions filed in compliance with the e-filing protocol shall be deemed properly filed.
