A. No motion shall be accepted for filing by the Clerk unless accompanied by a separate proposed order. Unless other arrangements have been made with the Court, pleadings delivered to the Court shall be treated as mere courtesy copies.

B. Each motion shall contain a Notice, which shall specify the date, time, and place for the hearing.

C. The Clerk shall maintain a motion docket and shall docket in the order received all motions assigned for hearing on each motion day, either by Court order or by notice duly served. This motion docket will be called on motion day.

D. Every motion, other than the ones which may be heard ex parte, shall appear upon the motion docket, provided that any motion which is accompanied by an agreed order signed by counsel for all parties affected by the order shall not appear on the motion docket. All motions going to the merits of the case, including motion to dismiss, motion for summary judgment, motion to strike, and motion under CR 12.02, shall be accompanied by a brief statement of the grounds for the motion with citation of authorities relied upon. Failure to file a statement of grounds with supporting authorities may be grounds for overruling the motion. Any party properly served with a motion accompanied by a statement of grounds and authorities shall file a response containing a statement of grounds for opposing the motion with citation of supporting authorities. Such response shall be filed at or prior to the time specified in the notice of hearing of the motion. Failure to file a response may be grounds for sustaining the motion, but the time for filing a response may be extended for good cause shown.

E. If additional time is allowed in any proceeding for supplementation of the record, or for briefing, counsel shall, when the time has expired, or the supplementation or briefing completed, advise the Court that the matter is ready for a decision.
