DrR Rule 2 Court scheduling/motion hour/procedures for filing
2.01 REGULAR MOTION HOUR SCHEDULE:
Hearings pursuant to DrR 2 shall be by motion set for a date and time certain before the Domestic Relations Commissioner, which time and date shall be provided by the Domestic Relations Commissioner if not on a regularly scheduled motion day of the Court set pursuant to Rules of Practice 46th Judicial Circuit LRC-46-3. The Domestic Relations Docket commences at 9:00 a.m. local prevailing time.
2.02 EXCEPTIONS TO REGULAR MOTION HOUR SCHEDULE:
On such occasions where it may be required to cancel the Domestic Relations Commissioner's regular Motion Day docket, whether because of sickness, vacation, inclement weather, conflicts or otherwise, notice of such cancellation shall be given as promptly as possible. Upon such cancellation, any cases docketed for hearing on the Motion Day so cancelled shall automatically be re-docketed for the next regular Motion Day in the order in which they appeared on the cancelled docket and before any subsequently docketed cases.
2.03 MOTION DAY DOCKET DEADLINE:
The Clerk shall keep a Motion Docket on which the Clerk shall docket all Motions noticed on each Motion Day.
Except for good cause shown, all Motions to be heard on Motion Day must have a facsimile copy or original filed with the Clerk of the Court wherein the matter is to be heard no later than the close of business on the fifth business day preceding said Motion Day. (Grayson, the preceding Tuesday; Breckinridge, the preceding Wednesday; Meade, the preceding Thursday). This rule is not intended and does not modify the applicable procedure rules regarding Notice; instead, this rule is adopted solely for docketing purposes. In the event any party desires to file the original document in addition to the facsimile previously filed to meet the docket deadline, (if the Court or DRC determines the original is needed for purposes of legibility, to prove an original signature or for some other reason), the filed original shall be the document which conforms exactly to the facsimile copy.
2.04 DOMESTIC RELATIONS DOCKET SHEET:
The Clerk of each Court shall establish a separate Domestic Relations Docket Sheet which shall not be co-mingled with matters to be heard by the Court.
2.05 Matters to be heard on the docket of the Domestic Relations Commissioner shall state same in the Notice section of the pleading as follows:
“Take Notice that the undersigned will appear before the Domestic Relations Commissioner of the Court on WEEKDAY, the ___ day of MONTH, YEAR at the hour of __________ local prevailing time, or as soon thereafter as may be heard to make the following Motion.”
2.06 Non-Motion Day Hearing: In addition to the initial Domestic Relations days after being served with notice of the filing of the report, any party may serve written objections thereto upon the other parties. If no objections are filed, the report will be submitted to the presiding Judge on the fourteenth (14th) day after the notice of the report was served on the parties if the motioning attorney notifies the clerk. If objections are filed, any party may apply to the Court for confirmation of the report by notice and motion properly filed.
