Rule 11. Motion Dockets
A. The deputy court clerk located in the office of each judge shall furnish and keep a motion docket as directed by each judge. The party or counsel presenting the motion shall obtain a hearing date from the assigned judge's clerk. The clerk shall enter it upon the motion docket of the assigned judge, not less than 23 days from the date the motion is presented for setting. The Court may set a motion specially. The motion shall be filed with the Court Clerk's office and served as required by Rule 10.
B. The presenting party shall be responsible for notifying all other parties or counsel of record of the hearing date. It is not appropriate to mail motions to the Court Clerk's office and request a hearing date or ask the Court Clerk to obtain the signature of the assigned judge.
C. If a motion is not presented for hearing when called, the Court may in its discretion dismiss, continue or rule upon it. Motions not contested may be disposed of by announcement, without necessity of all counsel appearing. Counsel shall be responsible for notifying the Court if the motion will not be presented. If any matter or cause is submitted to the Court and taken under advisement, the judge shall notify counsel of the decision reached.
D. When a motion is ruled on, counsel for the prevailing party shall within ten (10) days thereafter prepare a journal entry of the ruling and present it to counsel for the adverse parties, and if it be approved by all the attorneys, it shall be presented to the Court for signature. If counsel are unable to agree upon the form of journal entry, the prevailing party shall give notice of presentation and present the matter for settlement of journal entry at the next motion day of the division in which said matter was heard, or such other time as the assigned judge shall direct.
