4.01 Parties shall file notice, motions, and copies with the Clerk at least five (5) business days before the date of a hearing. Parties shall attach supporting memoranda to the motions at the time of filing. The Court has discretion to grant a party leave to file memoranda later than the date for filing. Parties must file their responses to memoranda one (1) business day before the hearing.

4.02 Supporting memoranda to motions shall not exceed twenty (20) pages in length (excluding exhibits and appendices) without leave of Court.

4.03 All motions that require a hearing shall be noticed for a specific hearing date.

4.04 All motions that involve real property shall be noticed for a specific hearing date.

4.05 Parties that need a hearing outside of the Court's Civil Motion Hour shall contact the Judge's staff to schedule the hearing. At its direction, the Court may schedule a hearing for outside of Civil Motion Hour.

4.06 If a party who has been served with notice and motion is unable to attend the assigned hearing date, that party shall promptly notify the serving party, serving counsel, and the Clerk. If the parties agree, they may have a continuance by the Court to either the same day the following week or another time to which the parties agree. However, after one continuance, a party must show good cause to the Court why more time is needed in order to obtain any additional continuances.

4.07 In matters where the Court has appellate jurisdiction, once both the appeal and the answer to the appeal are filed, it is the responsibility of the parties to ensure proper motions for the briefing schedule are submitted to the Court.
