The Clerk and the attorneys involved shall schedule the hearing of each Motion according to the schedule set forth above. Motions will be heard in the order of filing except that those matters not requiring argument or evidence, and capable of brief presentation, will be given priority.

B.(2) Ex Parte Motions may be presented without entry upon the Motion docket at the convenience of the Court at any time. Proposed orders requiring only the signature of the Court may be left at the District Court Clerk's Office, or in the Judges' Office.
C. Unless presented in open Court pursuant to notice, orders or judgments in contested cases shall not be signed or entered until endorsed by opposing counsel that same “have been seen”, “approved for entry” or other notation indicating that all counsel are aware of it's contents. When the Court has signed any order or judgment, the District Judge or his Secretary shall promptly deliver same to the District Court Clerk. This provision is not intended as a substitute for notification by the District Court Clerk of the entry of orders and judgments as required by the Rules of Civil Procedure or by the terms of the order or judgment, and is strictly a matter of courtesy.
D. No attorney or party, or any interested person shall, after the refusal of the District Judge of one division to grant requested relief, sign any order or warrant, or take any other action requested by such attorney, party or interested person, submit the same matter to Judge of the other division without first informing that Judge of the prior submission and the action taken by the Judge of the other division. Such conduct shall be deemed a contempt of the Court.
